John, many thanks for the shout......greatly appreciated. I stumbled across a recording on YouTube. It was Levi Stubbs singing lead with the Temps singing backup on "Just Another Lonely Night". Anything you can tell me about Levi singing with the Temps on that song?

The song first appeared on "Four Tops Forever", the Tops' 4 cd box set issued in 2001. It is track 10 on disc 2.
The annotation lists the following:

PJ: many thanks for the interesting info. I have been very curious about this since I found that song. I know Barry Gordy would give the same song to several singers/groups and pick the best version for release, so I guess this is what happened with "Just Another Lonely Night". Makes you wonder how many other unreleased songs are sitting in the Motown vaults. Thanks again.

Mike...the same time...same station. It is "Nightflight" but it is my "Listener's Choice" series...and Jim is supplying the music!

I'll be engineering and speaking...Jim won't actually be here...but he will join me on the air by phone about halfway through the show.
