[@kerryschlegel1317]

The 4 Tops made the 60's a happy place to be!!!

[@DROly1]

Kerry short but true statement.

[@lokisan100]

They sure did!

[@TyroneEpps]

U got that right brother 😊

[@JanisBoyd-u1s]

Yes. they did.

[@charlesjurden5871]

Still listening November 3 2023.

[@annetterichard7425]

To beautiful for words . Levi is di underrated. He had the best voice in Motown

[@samngigi8780]

This is the best version of this song.This was and still is one greatest songs I know of.

[@mitchelslaton191]

Levi Stubbs had a unique singing voice with an uncanny, supernatural quality that comes along once in a lifetime. There hasn't been anyone who poured all his heart and soul into each song like Levi before or since. He is greatly missed.

[@kenrivers5992]

Legendary soul music 👑

[@gregbell4911]

This song reminds of the movie cooly high. I love this song. I grew up on Motown music. could listen to it everyday.

Goosebumps! Singing their hearts out! Sung with such clarity! Beautifully done! Thank you!

[@captainkeyboard1007]

You got pure class and sweet style. Your disposition is worth learning from and beholding.

[@msvonnegutpunch5384]

“Hey, I made your favorite song longer.” “Marry me.” It’s so good. I wish I understood music theory so I could explain why the instrumental sounds and the vocals and the lyrics and their cadence, etc, why it all works so well. I wish I understood, and while it is frustrating that I don’t, I am grateful this exists, even if this all remains beyond my grasp forever.

[@bubblegum1948]

While there are some GREAT lead singers of some groups, there are but only TWO that can ever bring me to tears: Levi Stubbs & Teddy Pendergrass. Period.

[@frodo261]

This should have millions of views-people are too busy watching Bieber, eilish, and tay tay

[@irenequeenperkins2915]

Loved FourTops...so easy to dance to...plus they just make you feel good....very soulful.Im a forever fan....

[@musicaparaelrecuerdo4781]

Solo tengo una respuesta maravilloso siempre

[@musicaparaelrecuerdo4781]

Me equivoque

[@408knw]

Man -- I love this song, and I love those guys! For years, when I was down, The Tops have raised me up again, challenged me to man-up and be the go-to guy for those I love and those I meet who need somebody to raise them up! If we ever needed the power and inspiration that they've provided for us here, it's now! Thank you, sir -- and thank you, Tops!

[@Aesop101]

MOTOWN LEGENDS... FANTASTIC

[@31Alden]

Love the passion and energy in this song: Then and Now .. as only THE FOUR TOPS could deliver. ♥️🎵

[@captainkeyboard1007]

You got pure taste! I hope you will never lose your style. This song gives me "power" to love and be nice to other people, and to think with a clear and a sound mind.

[@frankolivas8593]

Great, keeping me alive this song , this era, I was there, sneaky old, but not really,

[@captainkeyboard1007]

This song puts me and my heart in a mellow and high-class mood.

[@jude2009]

[@charlenejohnson4427]

The Motown scene out of Detroit was phenominal!!!! Love love Levi Stubbs!!! This was the greatest part of growing up in the 60's!! You can't get any better than this!!

[@Longshotsblues]

You better believe it!!!

[@TheRmjr]

Charlene Johnson I’m not from Detroit but I do agree with you!

[@udoitnow1]

When my son was about six, he discovered this album in the closet and that was this was the only one he played. He would put the needle on this one over and over again. He's a man now and still play this song. Thank you so much mosogotam. You're the master of wonderful memories. I just can't thank you enough. Oh and did I mention...you rock!

[@phillycheez6288]

To be 16 again...your beautiful creation brought me back! You made it so real, John...thank you!

[@Suppermom6]

What beautiful harmony.......thanks for this. This is one of my favorite songs and I have always loved it because of the backing vocals. Awesome.....will never be another Four Tops

[@JeannieMitchellMyers]

I am bringing your version back Mosogotam! I hope I made you proud with my KZbin video. RIP, you are missed!

[@TheJUSTLQQKING]

Excellent Presentation Of A Great Motown Classic

[@nocalblkbear]

This is one my favorite (among many) HDH songs in addition the Funk Brothers brought it on this track...the remix really highlighted that...

[@tyroneepps4854]

this song is on 🔥!

[@kathyjohson1273]

Oh my goodness!!! The greatness of them all👍👍👍

[@337Brian]

This is one of the songs from the movie Cooley High!!

[@amherst88]

As so many have already said, you've made works of art in their own right, like we're hearing these (again) for the very first time -- and inside out! Many, many thanks . . .

[@andrewcrawford4635]

Love the background vocals on this one.

[@mfrankel8321]

Very cool to have the extended version of this masterpiece. It's showcases the masterful vocal of Levi Stubbs, along with the 4 tops harmony and the funky guitar. This is 5 and a 1/2 minutes of pure bliss!

[@adriancovarrubias3758]

This song will always remind me of Preach running from Cochises’ grave. Swishhhhh 🏀

[@aliciaavilez9662]

GREAT HARMONY I'll believe them..Amazing song Such An Amazing group and songLoving it !!!

[@norman32949]

I cannot choose a favourite Four Tops record because I love them all, but what attracted me to Reach Out was the flute solo at the start , and I always wanted to know which of the Funk Brothers it was . However I was watching a documentary on ITV (UK Channel 3) " The Nations Favourite Motown Song " and up pops this elegant blonde woman , puts a flute to her lips and plays the very piece I was looking for . It turns out it wasn't one of the Brothers but a very elegant blonde lady by the name of Dayna Hartwick , so thanks to the blonde lady with the flute a box has been ticked in my musical memory.

[@mosogotam]

Could Dayna have been a member of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, who were used by Motown arrangers quite often.

[@norman32949]

Yes indeed , she was a woodwind player with the DSO and is featured on singles and albums with The Tops, Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson and others. She also does a lot of classical stuff, a very talented lady.

[@mosogotam]

Here's another stretch I did that has Dayna in it....you may enjoy it...thanks for all the great information.....kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYeUYqSnYrt2r6M

[@mosogotam]

Dayna's discography is on the Discogs site....fascinating!!!

[@joefree9890]

Wasn't it a flute accompanied by an organ?... anyway, it was an awesome sound!!!

[@mauricepeck7147]

I love all your works. I go back to the Bronx in the sumertime growing up in the 60s.

[@iandickson1330]

great song remember it well as if it was yesterday

[@brentluckhart6238]

Just magnificent! These brothers stood out in the music industry and always will

[@stephengeorge338]

BIG FAN!

[@scottscheid2110]

I don't like this... I LOVE IT!!!!!!! :) Especially featuring the late great Levi's solo-lead at the beginning!!! Considering that Marvin was THE god of Motown - and belongs in a totally different conversation (all by himself!) THIS is, in my opinion - the finest song to ever come out of the studio of Hitsville, U.S.A.!!! THANK YOU, so much, for this, Mosogotam!!! WOW!!! ;)

[@MountainStreamLives]

You’re so right.

[@celtica99]

This is amazing! Thank you for the beautiful job you do with these gems!!!

[@brentfriedland]

The Tops, Temps, and Spinners are Mo-Town Gold.

[@webchuck1]

Thank you Mosogotam, The hits keep getting better. Thank you for taking your time doing this. You are a master of mixing.

[@TyroneEpps]

This version is hot ❤ !

[@captainkeyboard1007]

This long song sounds wonderful compared to the shorter one on the 7" discs played at 45 rpm. It sounds clean on KZbin.

[@davidrosemale3573]

James Jamerson is STILL the greatest bass player that ever lived, and that's the truth in my opinion.

[@daisyvalenzuela8588]

son muy bonitas estas canciones y estas versiones extendidas me encantan. no puedo dejar de escucharlas

[@yarygork2334]

This should be played in churches worldwide - its GOSPEL to me!!!

[@MountainStreamLives]

I always felt like this song might as well be a gospel song. Levi’s voice may as well be God singing to someone. Message would fit too.

[@alfjgist]

Levi Stubbs could put emotion into a nursery rhyme if he sang it.

[@rongarguilo724]

It was my grandfather in the very beginning of this song. They used his sneeze in the recording. He was in the studio with the 4 Tops

[@lennymolotov9144]

Right on to your extending these Four Tops tracks. 2 to 3 minutes ain’t enough burn time to get out of the atmosphere. You put ‘em into orbit.

[@RonaldVaughan]

Like that other guy said....."Master of Mixing" !

[@mosogotam]

Ron...thanks a lot!!

[@fredspittler3612]

John--Just listened to all three of this weeks entries--as always the best, super job. You have a unique ability my friend to know exactly where to extend and what parts to mix where to achieve a seamless master version., Again, thanks for sharing your talent.

Just love ❤ love ❤ love ❤ the 4 tops

[@egbertsouce3895]

mosogotam......And thank you so much for 'slipping in" H-D-H at 4:30 !!! They never get enough credit, IMHO, and deserve plenty more shots in videos of their great hits. Motown probably would've had a few flat tires without them !!!! 1-27-18

[@maryruggiero2884]

WE LOST MOSOGOTAM to coronavirus. it's a very big and very sad loss to music in general. he was a great guy, and he sure did know his stuff!! he gave us so much music to enjoy...he won't be forgotten. May he rest in peace...mr P, please say hi to Levi for me.

[@brianherrington7226]

[@brianherrington7226]

mary ruggiero Just googled the article and saw it was back in early April. John was his name and he hosted a late night radio show. What a terrible loss. God Bless him he’s given me a lot of comfort during this terrible time in our country and helped me cope by remembering we lived in a happier time. This really bums me out. I’m sad now.

[@maryruggiero2884]

@@brianherrington7226 well, my concept of time is gone since one day runs into another anymore! sorry for the misinformation. yes, his name was John Perrone, and he did host a radio show. i guess i just figured everyone knew about him...such a sweet guy. i'm sorry you feel so sad...i know i did too. i'm very sure John is in a much better place. hope his music gives you some comfort, and you find your peace.

Mostogram, absolutely amazing! I am a huge motown fan, but specifically The Four Tops. Great Job, you really did this amazing song justice with your extended version, and much needed because I never get enough of this one. I'm dying to know, where did the acapella chorus at the beginning of your version come from? I would love to hear more accappela, would love to now where you found that gem. Thanks so much for helping to keep this alive Mostogram!
