    Just saw a Facebook clip today of them in concert debuting the new lead ALEX MORRIS. Sadly, 83 year old Duke is sitting on a stool for the song [[awaiting hip replacement surgery, I believe) and Alex is in a plain black jacket while the other are sporting the classic black sequin single breasted threads. No time to get a new uniform made for bigger framed Alex? This could all have happened at short notice which is not unusual in vocal group personnel changes. Alex sounds good, but not as close to Levi as Spike. If you go to Facebook - the clip is on The Four Tops Forever page.

    Just don't know what to say! a journey I started with The Four Tops while still at school in the late 60's, just not the same any longer, if a further member should leave, is it time just to Treasure the Amazing Memories?

    At some point, when the original group loses members and goes through a list of replacement members, they become nothing more than a tribute group. And some of the tribute groups are better. Watching this video, I think the 4 Tops have reached that point.

    This is only a shell of the original group....if that. Time to retire it all and enjoy
    the memories of what was.

    The four tops are Levi, Duke, Lawrence and Obie

    To me this “four tops” is no different than a tribute group [[I feel the same way about the temptations)

    And there’s nothing wrong with that

    Four tops songs performed live? I’ll be down with that all day long

    I’ve seen the tops before, not long after Obie had passed

    The show was great, had a fantastic time but I felt the same way then
