This track is a classic case of taking an oldie and putting a "newie" spin on things, making the oldie somewhere outdated by this "newie". You feel me? Remix artist Yum Yum has attacked this classic, the 1964 hit single by Four Tops , Baby I Need Your Loving . If you're into oldies quite like I am than, this track will be right up your alley. It's simply a facelift, a modernization of sorts. Oh, and there is also a FREE DOWNLOAD available, so that's always super convenient. Get Your Earz Wet!
Time to hit you with another one from the vault. Motown's soul group, The Four Tops have been making music since 1954. Though all but 1 of the original members still survives, the spirit of the original Four Tops lives on. Of their many awards and achievements, The Four Tops notably have received the Grammy ...
Bryan Ferry's solo debut was as adventurous as his Roxy Music albums, but in a completely different way.

The Monkees' Davy Jones has passed away today at the age of 66, but it's never too early to remember what made Jones and the band so big in the first place — their infinitely catchy, free-spirited songs . Many artists throughout the years - from the Four Tops to acts like Run DMC and even Susan Boyle - have flipped through The Monkees' songbook and put their spin on their pop classics. Celebrate Davy's contribution to music by listening to some major stars perform covers of The Monkees' biggest hits below. [...]
I've lived in Pittsburgh for almost eight years now, and it's a decision that I can honestly say I've never regretted. I love this city. I love its crazy roads, obscene colloquialisms (Jag Off!), awesome food and legendary record stores. I also love its cinematic history, mostly because it's so weird. Sure, we got George A. Romero's zombie flicks to lay claim too, but the greater Pittsburgh also played hosts to classics like The Deer Hunter and Flashdance , as well as "classics" such as Sudden Death, Striking Distance and Stigmata. [...]

Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we'll have a guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five: " Deck the Halls " by John [...]
Phil RetroSpector – Don’t Mo [ mp3 ] Yazoo – Don’t Go Four Tops – Standing In The Shadows Of Love Yazoo go Tamla…. and Phil is still a genius
D.a.N.'s "Don't Stop" mashup runs through quite a few samples with ease, but at times feels off. One listen I'll be feeling it all the way through, while another I'll catch a few transitions that sound more like two songs than a harmonious one. D.a.N.'s biggest strength is his diversity in sounds, but at the same time that makes it all the more tricky to get just right. There's a lot of potential here, but keeping it all fluid & flowing well will be D.a.N.'s biggest challenge. D.a.N. - Don't Stop [...]

Filed under: News , R.I.P. YouTube George Rountree Jr., the musical leader of the Four Tops , passed away this Sunday at a Las Vegas Hospital, reports the Las Vegas Sun . He was 61. Though not a performing member of the famed vocal quartet, Rountree was a lynchpin behind-the-scenes associate and performed a host of roles including musical director, arranger, composer, trumpeter and keyboardist. Rountree, also known as [...]
'Making Mirrors' is the third studio album by Melbourne act Gotye, released in August. Gotye (pronounced gore-ti-yeah) is really one-man wonder Wally De Backer, armed with a sampler and the kind of home studio set up any musician would kill for. When he’s not drumming for indie rock trio The Basics, De Backer builds catchy songs [...]
I was going to post another mix today, but when one of your favourite songwriters dies, priorities take over. And much as I love Jerry Leiber’s repository of great lyrics – he was he Cole Porter of rock & roll – my tribute is for Nickolas Ashford, who with his wife Valerie Simpson wrote, produced and recorded over their career of five decades some of the finest soul music. They deserve a lifetime achievement award alone for that string of wonderful songs they wrote and produced for Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell: Ain’t Nothing Like The Real Thing, [...]
13/There used to be a record shop in Manchester called Power Cuts that had a big annual sale, selling vinyl cut outs from the US for next to nothing - stuff like Bummed by The Happy Mondays, Mistrial by Lou Reed (probably not worth 50p), a Hank Williams Jr album, a pressing of the Sally Cinnamon single by The Stone Roses on Revolver Records (10p), and Testing Positive 4 The Funk, the fourth in George Clinton's Family Series of compilation albums. The album is hit and miss but it does contain To Care by The Four Tops from [...]
The second SAVED! compilation gets righteous on your asses with a churchful of glorious ’70s soul – and it does so without going for the easy option of all those Stevie Wonder songs about God being a zillion lightyears away with whom you should have a talk (and did George Michael realise that he was singing a song of praise to God when he had a hit with Mary J Blige?). While neither Stevie, Aretha nor Marvin feature here, Al Green does, though with a song that precedes his lesser Reverend Green phase. And, of course, Curtis Mayfield [...]
I recently raided several Columbus, Ohio Half Price Book locations, systematically plucking out all of the best vinyl records from their inventories. In all, I probably took 15-20 records back with me to California. My bounty included Aretha Franklin's Live at the Fillmore , Portishead's Dummy , The Supremes' Anthology , The Ventures' Walk Don't Run , The Beach Boys' Endless Summer , and The Four Tops' Greatest Hits , in addition to records by David Bowie, The Temptations, Al Hirt, Louis Armstrong, and others. And amongst all of those great finds, [...]
Le récent article sur les Mods m'a donné envie de vous parler plus longuement de la Northern Soul, puisqu'il s'agit d'une des composantes essentielles de ce mouvement. Commençons par une mise au point qui devrait vous permettre de briller dans les dîners mondains et de gagner une encyclopédie à Questions pour un Champion. Aussi étrange que cela puisse paraître, la Northern Soul n'est pas l'opposé exact de la Southern Soul. Voilà qui mérite une explication : le terme Southern Soul désigne [...]
Welcome to another Lazy Sunday, this long weekend shout-out goes to the classic Motown quartet, the Four Tops . I was digging through the 'rents record crate the other day and came across the 'Second Album' from this groovy doo-wop/jazz/soul/R&B quartet and was instantly hooked to their infectiously uplifting music. The founding group members Levi Stubbs, Lawrence Payton, Abdul Fakir and Renaldo Benson first sang together in 1954 in Detroit, largely considered the home of Mowtown music. The first few releases from the group received little commercial success, until they teamed [...]
