Howdy and happy new week to y’all! It’s a dreary day but there aren’t any sporting events this week. (And we don’t have a tournament, so I don’t know why there’s a rain threat. ) Let’s continue on with a look at some of the incredible classic songs that 1964 gave us. Sing along! Baby, I Need Your Loving - Four Tops Oh, heck yeah! Put the Four Tops together with the songwriting dynamo team of Holland-Dozier-Holland and you’re going to have magic. With Levi Stubbs (who later did the voice of Audrey II in the film Little Shop of Horrors) on lead vocals, the Four Tops introduced themselves to the world with this terrific song. And what an introduction it was!! As I meander through the 60s in the coming years you know you’re going to see more of their songs on the list. And their popularity started right here. Baby, I Need Your Loving Written by Holland-Dozier-Holland Recorded by the Four Tops From Four Tops, 1964 Another day, another night:

I love Johnny Rivers’ version, too…different from this, yet not so different that it makes me sick.

Lots of killer tunes this month. To have survived for 60 years they must be good!

Saw the Four Tops at a motel in Cleveland. This is when they were still performing in small venues.

Motown added another layer of terrific music to the 60's. So many flavors to choose among and many I enjoyed! These guys really epitomized the great sound and artists coming out of that original Detroit location. HITSVILLE USA was so appropriate!
