I didn't know Theo [[who's voice I LOVE) had left the group. So I'm just sitting at work watching the Tempts & Tops do an interview on BBC Breakfast. The Tops started to sing 'Baby I Need Your Loving' and unusually the original Motown backing track started up so I thought OH NO! Please don't lip-sync to Levi's lead. Through the first verse and chorus I thought 'This is just wrong' until I realised it wasn't Levi's voice doing lead - it's the new guy who sounds ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Very close to Levi - looks nothing like him but the sound - WOW! I'll try and post the clip - y'all really need to see and hear it! Stoned Love, Steve.

Update 30 mins later: Okay, I've just Google'd and watched the 'in concert' footage posted here with the new guy [[What's his name? He's not mentioned on the Tops official website) which is okay - but wait 'till you hear how they sounded today - in the original key too! They sounded much better than Bruce Williamson did fronting the Tempts 'My Girl' live which is also in this mornings show.
So, looks like Theo has branched out with his own 'Review' show. Well, he is the only guy in the world who can rightfully claim to have been lead singer of both group's. Just wonder how good they are? With Theo's fantastic voice and looks, I'd pay to see them.
