Jayvee, I gotta do this. Im sorry but, I'm going to get "sappy" and long but, I'll try to condense as much as possible. My parents both passed away when I was still relatively young 2001 for my mom I was 15, 2003 for my dad 17. MUSIC ALWAYS HAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE "BIGGEST" THING THAT KEEPS THEM HERE WITH ME. I often "cry" watching your reactions but, in the BEST way possible lol. Let me explain. For example... PROUD MARY by Tina Turner. Dude, I genuinely have actual memories of me DANCING with my DAD when I was like 5-6 on a tug boat while literally rolling down the Mississippi river. I have REAL memories with my parents to almost all the songs you react, too. I can honestly remember my dad pointing to me sometimes and saying "Suga pie honey bunch..." and I would point back at him and we would say together "You know that I love you!!!!" and we would start dancing and singing and finish the song...." So, I just want to say THANK YOU for bringing "special memories" like this randomly back to me!!!! I wish so BAD he were still here because I KNOW he would love watching your reactions and musical journey just as much as ME!!!!!!

RheaP XLIV That totally brought tears to my eyes. My Mum is still with us (she’s 92 now and suffers from dementia), my Dad is long gone, but I understand what you mean about these beautiful, touching songs. I lost my little brother to cancer this past January, he was only 49 years old. And I lost my sister to suicide in 1991 at the age of 31. The song for me that’s the most difficult to hear is David Gilmour singing Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish you were here’. I’m so sorry for your loss. And thank you for the tears. Sometimes we just need a good cry to appreciate the day and where we came from. Bless your heart. 💖💜💙

It is, truly, HAPPY TEARS. I had my dad for 17 years and it's now been 17 years that he's been gone. Music has the power to bring back REAL MEMORIES... not photos or even videos are as powerful and SPECIAL as the memories I carry with me and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you for sharing your story and I'm sorry for your losses, as well. 😔 I feel the same way about Pink Floyd "Wish you were here". My dads and mine #1 song will always be "Too much heaven" by the Bee Gees. My dad especially pointed out the lyrics "Everything we are, will never die." He explained to me even after he was gone or even me, NOTHING would ever change or take away what we had then in those moments. Nothing could ever make them "fade" no matter how much time passed.... And, THIS right here is a perfect, clear example of how very, very right he was!!!! And, I gladly welcome the HAPPY TEARS moments like this brings.... even from the most "unexpected places"....

Don't forget some of the other MOTOWN groups like THE SUPREMES, TEMPTATIONS, RARE EARTH AND SMOKEY ROBINSON. Why can we have music now like we had with these great soul groups of the 60's and 70's. I also have to give a holler to THE DELFINICS, STYLISTICS, SPINNERS, DRAMATICS AND HAROLD MELVIN & THE BLUENOTES. I LOVE ROCK AND ROLL BUT I ALSO LOVE RHYTHM, BLUES AND SOUL.

I LOVE my music, and I enjoy listening to many, many of my beloved bands, but ... The Four Tops and THIS song are my ALL-TIME FAVS!! This song brings back such special memories for me. My favorite uncle was seven years older than me, and when I was about 12 years old, he gave me his 45 of this song. I wore that record out. He passed away in a car accident when I was 17 ears old, and he was 24. To this day, this song reminds me so much of him. He and I were like best friends. Your reactions to the music I have cherished most of my life are priceless, and I look forward to them. You bring me such happiness just watching your reviews and your reactions. The Four Tops were phenomenal, and they were all such nice people. Please keep your tradition of celebrating "Motown Monday." Motown was THE BOMB! The talent of so many of that genre was incomparable, and the music was so much fun. And, you're correct ... it just makes you want to get up and DANCE!!

The Four Tops were so smooth with a great beat. They really were tops. The synced moves they made were often called "Steps". It wasn't as choreographed as some pop entertainers do today. It was a popular feature for a number of groups and bands in the early sixties (pre-choreography).

This is pretty close to as good as it gets.

Actually this is the studio version. it would be a rare case indeed that any group of that era would perform live on a TV show. In some cases because a lot of TV broadcasts were live and the networks were a little unsure that there wouldn't be a violation of the networks "Standards and Practices", after all many people at this point still felt this type of music was evil. However the biggest reason that a lot of groups didn't perform live was that none of these groups had a band. Most hits were recorded with session musicians, The Funk Brothers, The Swampers and The Wrecking Crew, were a few of the groups of session musicians that were responsible for the music behind all of these great acts.

The Four Tops and The Temptations were, and are Motown Royalty. In Fact, they did a tv special back in the 80s I think. They took turns singing each others songs. They would go back and forth, almost like a contest. It was so damn cool. You can probably find it on you tube maybe. They were all great friends in real life, because they were all from the city of Detroit...The Motor City...Motown.
