Levi Stubbs has died. Very sad news.

This has reminded me of maybe my favorite Four Tops song: Do What You Gotta Do, which was a Jimmy Webb tune. Worth checking out for all you Webb heads on ILM

As a singles band, Four Tops were more classic than most in the 60s. And even managed to come up with a few gems later on too, in the case of "A Simple Game" and "Loco In Acapulco".

I think the time of the Four Tops has passed. Kind of like Glenn Miller. I wouldn't say they aren't a classic - but it's time to move on.

I think the music is decent, but not classic. I think their dance moves are the only classic thing about them.

Destroy: The Kraft Macaroni & Cheese commercial: "It's not the same! (not the same) Old side! (old side)" ("Side" as in "side dish.")
Man, I forgot all about this. They were even in the ad!

Also want to say that the Reach Out LP is crazy loaded: The HDH 'Dramatic Quadrilogy' (title cut, SITSOL, Bernadette, and 7 Rooms); "I'll Turn To Stone" (flip to 7 Rooms and a Northern Soul fav); the Renee & If Were A Carpenter covers; and then lesser Monkees and Association covers.

One of the current Four Tops, Alexander Morris, while experiencing chest pains and difficulty breathing, was taken to a suburban Detroit hospital by ambulance, then told to "sit his back ass down" by a white security guard and put into a straight jacket to be transferred to the psych ward when he tried to tell them who he was. When his wife was reached & verified his identity, they offered him a $25 gift card as an apology. https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2023/04/25/four-tops-singer-claims-metro-detroit-hospital-racially-profiled-him-during-health-emergency/
