I enjoyed the time Duke spent on the early Tops , before Motown, lots of good info. I would have loved the second half of the book to be more detail regarding their hit songs , I thought he did a...

Great guitar beginning and a great bass line

Had a chance to meet all the Funk Brothers when they played in DC in the early 2000's. Had them all sign my SITSOM book and when I talked to Joe I mentioned that I was from Warren, Mi. and he smiled...

Mu all
time favorite by a mile

Not a fan, could hardly hear them, but man once Lose Yourself started to play it was like the A team came to the rescue. such a great song.

They had quite a successful career after Motown, starting with Keeper of The Castle album featuring two top 10 hits, another top 15 hit with Are You Man Enough and quite a few top 40 singles. Plus ...

Agree, Marvin Junior ranks just below Levi, love his voice, There Is an amazing song

Were absolutely part of the Tops, reached the pinnacle with Ask the Lonely, which really should have been called Levi Stubbs and the Andantes.

He will be remembered for the great With This Ring, a true Motown sounding song, by in large due to the Funk Brothers backing him up. Saw him a few years ago on the Malt Shop Cruise, still sounded...

Pretty sure of them was the was Tears of A Clown LP and perhaps their greatest hits

Enjoyed watching the Beatles 6 hour documentary recently.
Also enjoyed how they played off each other, you could tell they were in sync with one anther. I picked up on a few Motown things, i.e....

I heard some of the Minah Birds songs and they were quite good, would have been great to have seen them in concert.

I never get tired of Stubass nuggets, especially when he opines on James Jamerson, nice story as always, we go way back to 2001 on Soulful Detroit.

Were all on the same page with police reform and accountability. No one deserves the lack of dignity that happened. Bad policing is the issue here regardless of race. We need to treat the victim as a...

Even has the 8 bars of Sugar Pie Honey Bunch

That is one of my favorites. There was at least 20 songs I never heard of, they did a crap job, seriously where is Baby I Need Your Loving, the most played Motown song played on radio, according to...

Both are quite original and have great songs, love them both. And of course the chock full of hits album- Reach Out.

It is by far the greatest song in rock history, but lets not limited as the black anthem, it was for the masses of all color. BTW Bernadette is the song that was considered the black Dylan.

A great song

As I recall Jamerson was on one of their hit records, I may be wrong about that?

They look amazing, how old are they? Do they still performed with the 5th Dimension, would be one of my bucket list. Great pop songs.

This has got to be one of the worst decisions in music history, she had just came out with My Guy the year before. She really was the first lady of Motown and that is one thing we did not have on...

Would have loved to hear about his relationship with the Funk Brothers, since he obviously worked with them when he played guitar on the Temp songs. I would have also liked to hear what Marv Tarpin...
