Four Tops - Reach Out (I'll Be There) (1967)| REACTION!!! 

Proof that your grandparents were cool!

The Four Tops were my favorite male Motown group and Levi is the man!!!

The great Levi Stubbs. 💖💖⚡

The harmonies were so good 60s and 70s and the songs that told a story.

I was raised on this music; Four Tops, Temptations, and all the rest; classic!

Levi Stubbs' beautiful voice is what made The Four Tops my favorite group.

They all worked for Motown...Barry Gordy encouraged Michael to say 'just look over your shoulder, honey'

Twon, this was a time when people had self-respect; pride; and “Dressing” was a standard.

Melody, harmony and so much soul.

When music can be a life-line....DAMN!

60’s and 70’s R&B was on the radio everywhere! These are the songs I grew up with and loved. 😁❤️. Do more.

My gosh, memories ❤️😁

Yes! The Four Tops, another great male group back in the early days. A few of my favorite: I Can't Help Myself( Sugar Pie Honey Bunch), Still Water, It's The Way Nature Planned It.

Two totally different songs, but the Jackson 5 used the "just look over your shoulder" line sort of as a tip of the cap to the Four Tops.

One of the many great Motown groups of that time - I'm glad I was around to hear them all, and the Tops were one of the best.

Back when songs used to make one feel the lyrics. They speak to you. I'm fan of oldies though I favor many music genres.

Dig those moves! And that bass line is definitionally groovy. Motown! The songs were mostly in house, so no foul on the Jackson 5. When you're ready for more from The Four Tops check out "Bernadette", "Baby I Need Your Loving", and "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" among others from the sixties, and from the seventies "Ain't No Woman (Like The One I've Got)" really shines too.

Love the Four Tops! Levi Stubbs voice was so unique, not many people covered the their songs. I love the song Bernadette. When he sings Bernadette I know women swooned all over the world.

I saw these guys in Vegas at MGM Grand in 95/96.....and they were awesome!!!! A night I will NEVER forget!!!

Motown has shaped all of music and what a great influence they were. The genius of Berry Gordy To be a black empire of soul ✌️😎

One of the 🐐, The Four Tops hav hits for days

Absolutely love the Four Tops, The Temptations 😍

I was born and raised in Southwest Louisiana as well as my dad. My mom was from Detroit and I was raised on this kind of music 🎶 Brings back good memories.

This was my Auntie favorite group along with Smokey Robinson🎶✊🏾👍🏾

I'm excited that you've discovered The Four Tops!! One of favorite groups of all times!! They have soooo many great songs to hear!! Please continue to explore their song list of great hits and you'll be smiling and singing them!!

This is the music I grew up with so I love how you respect it so much! They all wore suits in the 60's. I'm sure it had to do with not trying to be "radical" to the TV viewing audience. But, they took it to a new level in the 70's when the suits became more fashion statements than compliance.

When I was a teenager I had a job at a wrecking yard tearing down motors and labeling the parts in the hot sun. I would have the radio going and I always loved it when this song would come on. Nothing like the old soul and motown sound to bring you up.

CHARLES WRIGHT & THE WATTS 103RD STREET RHYTHM BAND "EXPRESS YOURSELF"..AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC.

Wish I could like this a hundred times!! I like this time machine of yours Twon sweetie. I'm 20 again and life is fabulous!

this was good music and real soul music.

The four tops and the Temptations owned Motown back then. Awesome singers.

I remember this all over the airwaves. Im 60. This is the music that hits your soul. Music that has a message a love song that the young people today just dont make anymore. No cursing not about money. God i miss this type of music. Even us white people can feel. Keep on listening to Motown brother.

The Tops were always a winning proposition. Levi Stubbs is a KILLER lead voice. ✌😘🎶🎺🎷🎸🔥💞

Do a reaction to a group called The Friends of Distinction they did two songs. "Grazing in the Grass" and "Going in Circles" both came out 1969.

I remember this playing at the end of the movie Cooley High....love this song!!

React to Wake Me Shake Me, by the Four Tops. Young man you have tapped into one of the greatest groups. Thank you, Thank you!!

Gotta love Motown. 😊😊

Classic 60s Motown music. It's always great dancing music too. Man, those were the days.

My favorite group out of Motown!!!!! The voice of Levi Stubbs was so fantastic, and they were so good as a group. They have such a deep catalog, too.

Hard to beat the Motown sound!! Many of us grew up in a great era for great music!!

In 1967 Soul was kicking it. The Temps, The Tops, Otis, Smokey, the wicked Mr. Pickett, and the list goes on.

Just absolutely live this song from my teen years. James and Bobby Purify have a song called I'M YOUR PUPPET from the same era. Memories are made with music like this, stays with us a lifetime...

another great song, I haven't heard this one in years...I LOVE when they do some dancing woot woot

So. Damn. Good!

I lived right by Detroit and these were the best times!! Love them

Four tops are one of my top Motown groups. Bernadette is my favorite gurps song

Love this song.

Motown regularly fused lyrics and had multiple groups singing the same song. But the J5 I'll be There and this were penned by 2 different writers. They all worked for Motown.

Ahhh Levi Stubbs my favorite Motown singer

Something about the tone of this song that is special

Thanks for this-takes me back

Detroit ruled ! Best party music ever.

Love this

One of the great Motown groups great review 😃

Woot!!! Love Motown! ❤️❤️

I love all those old Motown records. I had at least 100 Motown 45's back "in the olden days" as our (now adult) kids will put it. You might like to get into some of those, too. Here are a couple to get you started down the Motown rabbit hole: The Supremes - "Stop! In The Name of Love" The Temptations - "My Girl" with one of the most iconic intros in rock & roll. Jamerson's bass and Robert White's brilliant guitar line make this as instantly recognisable as anything in rock. Add "Papa Zita" and the rest of The Funk Brothers and you've got one of the greatest backing bands in modern American music. The first thing that grabbed me about this song was that unmistakable, propulsive groove of Jamerson's bass. James Jamerson is, without question in my mind, the most important, most influential bass player in the history of American music. Jamerson's inventive style has been cited by the likes of John Entwistle (The Who), Sir Paul McCartney (The Beatles, Wings), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Chris Squire (Yes), Lemmy (Motorhead), Bootsy Collins (P-Funk), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) and even the man I consider the greatest to come along since Jamerson, Geddy Lee (Rush) and a whole host of others too numerous to mention here.

Wow, the Four Tops.. They were ALL THAT way back when I was a lil girl Twon... A great Motown male group.. But, for real without Levi Stubbs , the lead singer, the group would not have been as fire... He had a damn POWERFUL voice.. You knew it was the four tops, just on the strength of Levi's voice.. Plus, he was a fine black male too, which added to the hype... Check out more of the tops hit... They were AWESOME, Twon.. Alot of old skool radio stations use to do singing group contests.. It was ususally the four tops against Temptations... Trust me the tops ALWAYS won... And yeah, you right, The Jackson 5 got their lyrics from this here song... Hugs..💜🧡💚💛🤎💙💕

Classic Classic Classic

Mm, I needed this on my soul today. ❤️

Levy Stubbs imo the greatest of Motowns male singers.😀

#NoLimitNation Love the Four Tops! They have a deep catalog of great songs! Please do “Baby, I Need Your Loving” next by them. This is one of my favorites! Keep on discovering, Bro!

Another great memory of the 60s.

Thanks for reacting to the classy Four Tops. So many great hits. Please react to their song Bernadette(my favorite), RIP Levi Stubbs, what a voice 🎼🎶🎤

golden age of soul music right there. so many great artists putting out some incredible stuff the Four Tops had a lot of great ones....i'd recommend 'Bernadette'....KILLER bass line in that one. man Levi has a VOICE. hey...rent the movie 'Little Shop of horrors' and listen to the plant's voice. sound familiar ;0)

Twon, you should try "I'm in a different World" by The Four Tops.

O Sing It Baby! Now, these were Men ~ Gentlemen singing some fine soul. Dressed to the Nines with the Smooth Moves. Our Generation was spoiled, we had the best! The Motown Sound! I only drop in to listen to the music! Ciao ~ Peace Itia ~!

Motown produced so many gems. Levi Stubbs and the Four Tops were just one of the best. Great song!

Awesome group.

Ahhh wonderful, beautiful, iconic Motown…it helped to get my love of music started. Not only am I your “other mother”…I’m your (very pale) soul sister…😉🤣🙏

Hugely famous song. 💕 Every time I hear it I think of the scene from the movie “Cooley High”. 😟

This is when music would bring people together. The songs were saying things that we wanted to say to someone we loved but couldn't find the words. Thanks again Twon, for another great choice to do a reaction to.

Stylistics “You Make Me Feel Brand New” and Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)

The reality is that WE did it first no matter who says what or who samples what.

This is a big song......................................it carries a lotta water.

Here's a list Of songs by Smokey Robinson, Baby Come Close, Crusin, The love l saw in you was just a Mirage. The words From my heart got caught up in my throat. I could go on.

They were all from MOTOWN and everybody sang everybody else's sings!!!

I love this song , thank you

Everyone needs to know that Levi was only 30 years old when he performed this

You're on a roll..right on twon!!!

His facial expressions are hilarious 😅

Brings back memories. Still have some Four Tops 45s in my vinyl collection.

heard this song first time 1967 haunting intro

Brilliant choice and reaction Twon ♡♡♡

.My brothers favorite grouup.

Levi Stubbs,, the lead singer was only 31 when he recorded this song

Hi @No Limit Twon!!! Glad to see you enjoy this classic!!! Great ear to hear the similar lyrics!!! I never noticed similar lyrics/chorus between the J5 “I’ll be there” and this. The lyrics are different though. Same sentiment however. IMHO Both groups were in Berry Gordy’s Music Machine so could be that is where the similarities originated. I remember as a child when fam played the clean up music on Saturday’s I thought that sound was a horse galloping. Have you reacted to “Ain’t no Woman like the one I got” by the Four Tops? Think it may have you in your feels a tiny bit. If not… I highly recommend!!!🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳 Mr. Levi Stubbs (R🎙P) voice is another from that era a person never forgets.

We had the best music back then.

Your killin it with the Motown greats ! Reactions are 🔥 I d Definitely agree with Motown Monday’s ! That was a great catch by you. I’m sure it was a tip of the hat by Michael.

56 years ago, the Four Tops released their 4th album "Reach Out".

Classic

The J5 borrowed from this tune for "I'll Be There". Motown acts often borrowed from each other

They were my favorite Motown performers; Levi Stubbs was the best.❤️

Still waters, keeper of the castle by the four tops

This song was played in the movie Cooley High

Twon; makes you want to go back in time, doesn’t it?

Thank you

Thank you hun

This is classic music. This music era was the shiat

Diana Ross and the Supremes "Love Child"

🔥🔥🔥🔥
