When I click on the link, a screen comes up saying the video is not available.

boy from xtown,

The video's page lists the title ,but the video is not available [[perhaps only in the U.S.???)

[Philles/Motown Gary]

No, it says that the video is not available here in the U.S., either. But thanks for trying, rovereab. It's a good album track.

Isn't it strange that in these days of the Internet information is not truly global :[[

So are you saying that the internet is not all encompassing, all everything after all! LOL

[rovereab]

John, it clearly boils down to Motown censorship :)

Who likes this song too?

So many Four Tops album tracks and B-sides were good enough to be A-sides IMO!

Oh how I wish that an expanded Four Tops collection would appear.Imagine "Four Tops", "2nd Album", "On Top" and "Reach Out" in this format.

[rovereab]

Great idea Roger but I'd always skip over "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" "Michelle" "In the Still of the Night" "Bluesette" and "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars" from On Top - they make me cringe alongside the rest of the "Motown songs".

[Roger Polhill]

I do like "In The Still Of The Night" but I could live without "On Broadway"

[honest man]

The link for post #1 is now working so maybe not censorship. Here's another great B-side.

Oftentimes, the Motown YouTube videos will play on my desktop PC but NOT on my SmartPhone. The message is always the same – "This video is not available." [[I’ve always assumed that it’s a Universal decision.) If it’s a copyright problem, why would it play on the PC but not on the SmartPhone? It makes no sense.

Regarding the link above for the Four Tops "What Else Is There To Do" video in the main posting above, it still won’t play on either computer.

It's not a copyright issue. Your smartphone [[esp. Apple iPhone) will not play Adobe Flash videos which your desktop will. Flash is an archaic piece of software that hogs battery on phones, which is why most don't support it.

All of the Four Tops’ B-sides/album tracks in this thread from the "Four Tops Second Album" were top-notch all the way.

Thanxal, my SmartPhone is a Samsung Galaxy. For the longest time, Motown YouTube videos would not play on it, with very few exceptions. It’s been a lot better lately, however, as most of them have been playing fine. Something must have changed, although I don’t know what.

Most sites now use HTML5, which plays on smartphones, rather than Flash. But you do still find some people uploading their videos as Flash, so you'll still see it.

Ah, so that explains it. Thanks, Al!
