| | California Ballroom - Reviews - Four Tops and Temptations |
| | The Temps have always switched vocalists with every number and are therefore not associated with any one sound, but The Tops were Levi Stubbs and without that distinctive voice they are a now good tribute band. | | | Theo, an ex-Temptation, was brought in to replace Laurence Payton who sadly died in 1997 and Ronnie was covering for Levi Stubbs who is seriously ill after a stroke and prostate cancer. | | | Ronnie and Theo are fantastic but they are not Levi and Laurence and I think this is where the Tops lost out over the Temps. |

| | The Four Tops |
| | One of Motown's most consistent hitmakers and its longest lived lineup (40 years), the Four Tops were the most stable and consistent vocal groups to emerge from Motown Records in the '60s, charting with scores of upbeat love songs featuring Levi Stubbs' rough hewn lead vocals. | | | Over the next eight years The Four Tops appeared on the charts almost thirty times, and Levi Stubbs became an international star and became an influence on singers from the Sixties to the present time. | | | They then went to Red Top and Riverside before they were signed by John Hammond to Columbia in 1960 where they recorded "Ain't That Love." This was the first of a string of supper club style flops that lasted for seven years on a number of labels. |

| | Collins' Oldies Website: The Four Tops |
| | The group had the same four members--Renaldo "Obie" Benson, Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Lawrence Payton, and lead singer Levi Stubbs--until Lawrence's death of liver cancer in 1997. | | | Still Water (Love) (3:08) - In the beginning, Levi's voice echoes as he speaks, "Walk with me. Take my hand." The song has one verse and a chorus, but most of the song is just instruments and backing vocals. | | | Bernadette (3:02) - Most of the time the instruments and backing overpower Levi's voice, but I can tell that the narrator is begging Bernadette not to leave him for some other man. I can also tell in one verse that he asks her how other men can control her when they can't control themselves. |

| | The Four Tops |
| | While the Temptations' main attraction was their smooth tenor singers, the Tops' lead singer is rough-voiced bass Levi Stubbs, who recorded many of the label's most impassioned vocals ("Standing In The Shadows Of Love," "Reach Out I'll Be There"). | | | The Tops give their all to this collection of bathetic show tunes ("The Sound Of Music," "Make Someone Happy," "Hello Broadway"), which only makes it worse: if Levi had sleepwalked through his vocals, it would have been a better fit for the hackneyed material and overbaked arrangements. | | | Produced by David Wolfert, this was the last Tops album to hit the Top 40. |

| | DENNIS EDWARDS |
| | Dennis & Levi Stubbs really got into it, with Dennis singing "I can't help myself, I love you and nobody else" to a gloating Levi. | | | Temptations members Otis Williams and Eddie Kendricks had seen Dennis perform at the Howard Theater in Washington, D.C. while Dennis was still with the Contours and thought his soulful gritty voice and strong presence would make him a perfect replacement if David did not straighten up. | | | (Dennis originally planned to record the song with Chaka Khan, but scheduling conflicts forced a change in plans.) There weren't many numbers that combined such sensuality, vocal assertiveness, excellent production, and superb arrangement, and it proved to be an impossible act for Dennis to follow. |
