But is Levi going to be there and if so will he be singing???
I mean A Four Tops DVD without him singing doesn't mean much...
I am sure the replacement is fine but if this program is made to honor them for 50 years in the biz, no one can receive this tribute BUT the remaining Four Tops...

Wonder B,
I Pray each morning and night, that OUR LEVI will have small steps of improvement in His health each and Every day, and that is what is most important.
Perhaps they have selected Detroit, so hopefully He will be present, but I am not sure about performing.
I am just so determined to make this 50th Anniversay Year so **Special"" for LEVI, I just hope we can get Norman to release the album, He produced on the FOUR TOPS back with Lawrence as well, it was going to be called FOUR TOPS 2000, and that someone will also take up the challenge of a Book about the FOUR TOPS!
Thanks John |

I am with you 250% John...
And a book on the Four Tops is loooooong overdue... I hope someone can start this and interview in depth the remaining three original Tops...
How can it be that almost all of the greats from that era have had books on them and not the FT... It's like the Four Tops FOUREVER CD box set... it came out later than almost everybody at Motown...
I was started to think that they had been forgotten... Hopefully this box set is one of the most beautiful!

Long Live The Four Tops and Get Well Soon Levi! |
