Free Music Review: SOULFUL TREASURE UNEARTHED~BRAVO FOUR TOPS!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Four Tops with Levi Stubbs fiery & tremendous voice were an exciting and electrifying group in the classic sixties Motown era turning out one incredibly great hit after another yet this "Lost & Found" collection is filled with an amazing mix of engrossing & mesmerizing songs featuring awesome performances as engaging & appealing to listen to as "The Four Tops Greatest Hits"! Song after song is superb and vocals from Levi are richly varied and extraordinary showing that although the group worked great over forty years as a unit Levi Stubbs could easily have gone solo like other Motown artists as his talent certainly warrants this but support this great singer receives from the other group members plus the heavenly mix of legendary musicians is sublime and beautifully showcases Levi's heavily textured glorious & deeply soulful voice that is one of the truly unforgettable voices over the past fifty years...this guy can sing anything and is brilliantly showcased throughout this essential collection doing one tour-de-force performance after another! Bravo Four Tops!!! Music lovers act fast & get this perfectly remastered Limited Edition collection while you can as the price will soar when this 2-disc beautifully packaged set with a nicely illustrated & track by track detailed booklet is no longer around!
Lost & Found: Lost Without You Poster
Levi Stubbs, Obie Benson, Lawrence Payton and Duke Fakir of the Four Tops were jazz singers, the best kind of close four-part harmony heard in the mid-west in the 1950s - and nationally, for a time, when they backed up their idol, Billy Eckstine, on tour. The Tops had a few singles in the Fifties and early Sixties, mostly then-contemporary styles of rocking doo-wop that did little to further their career. Berry Gordy at Motown heard them live, loved them for what they did best, and signed them to his fledgling Workshop Jazz label in 1963. After a year recording a jazz album that did not see the light of day for 35 years, the Tops saw the Workshop label close down. But they survived to become one of the icons of the Motown Sound. Their versatility brought more than H-D-H productions to the music stand. Gordy also knew they could perform in any venue, singing show tunes and pop-jazz. Subsequently, their albums were filled with covers of current hits by the likes of The Monkees, and Broadway music such as "Fiddler On The Roof." Doesn't mean nearly every Motown producer wasn't in the Snakepit recording like mad for them anyway. Lost Without You surveys those many Motown sessions from the beginning of the Tops' label tenure through the end of the decade. Lost... features 41 unreleased and rare tracks, 34 of which have never been heard before anywhere. Several of the released tracks are in new, extended stereo mixes. Of particular note - besides the great B-sides - is the majestic new mix of Ivy Jo Hunter's "Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever," which restores the track to the way he intended it be heard. "Lonely Lover," once found on a U.K. collection, is given a surprise ending. And "Wonderful Baby" is not the version known to fans - this collection includes alternate versions from two years earlier, providing an exclusive glimpse into the inner workings of Hitsville U.S.A.Blues Music CDs
