Was you a 4 Tops or Tempations Fan

Hi! I loved both - but my favourite track within that was the very gentle Just My Imagination by The Temptations. I was, and still am, a massive Walker Brothers fan though!

I've always loved the Four Tops and the lead singer had an amazing voice. I've got most of their stuff on CD,s

Push comes to shove it would be the Temptations but I love all Motown, want to see the musical. What did you think of it Mick?

The Four Tops.

I don't know - just been looking at a few of their songs on youtube and they make me laugh - great fun!

Both! We saw them both a few times and they were great. I suppose at a push it would be the Temptations! We have a great album with the Supreme and Tempations together.

I love all Motown Music. My favourite is Stevie Wonder who really comes under the title of Soul. I've seen him a number of times and he doesn't disappoint.

All the words to these great classics just come flooding back.

I agree 'Just my Imagination' is such a good song as well as 'I heard it on the grapevine' and 'How sweet it is'.

We were lucky to experience the 60s music.

No I weren't.

Have always been a huge Motown fan especially Diana Ross whom I've seen a few times but my all time favourite track is Heard it Through the Grapevine.
I've seen Motown the musical and Motown Tour.
Same great music in both of course. I preferred Motown Tour as that is just non stop music, and had me singing and dancing in my seat.
I spoke to a lady in the bar who said "you know you have to sing" I said "Try stopping me !"
If I hear Motown I can't stop myself singing along

My own experience of Motown the Musical , I want to see it again, I liked the 2nd act opening with Ball of Confusion and how it was put across.
Motown act wise , I have seen 4 tops in 1969/70 at Brum Hippodrome , Stevie Wonder at the Gaumont in Wolves plus Jimmy Ruffin.
Also note as to some current BBC TV programme plugs they are using Motown songs.
Have been a fan from the 60`s , and I used to be involved in a small way whilst in the RAF , with a magazine called Blues & Soul.
I joined Motown Ad Astra an appreciation society, and used the have contact with Sharon Davies who ran this UK based thing, she actually wrote a book some years ago about Motown, and just recently I have just acquired the book written by Berry Gordy in paperback form for a price as it was written in the 90`s, which inspired Motown the Musical.

Anno, ? what do you mean with the bad grammar????

Just matching the thread title, wot.

I think I know what you meant!!!!!! Wot wos u thinkin??!!

Hahaha. It does sort of leap out at one!

Four Tops but almost everything in that genre. All time favourite Martha and the Vandellas Dancing in the Street... have to bougie

Enough!

Well said * annodomini* I weren't a fan of either.

OK I missed a t in temptations , despite the rivalry between the groups , like mentions of the Temps and the Sups this was done when both groups had seen member changes , were Jean Terrell led the new Supremes.
Also favourites of mine was the Marvin Gaye duets firstly with Kim Weston with " It Takes Two" and "Two can have a party " and then the Tammi Terrell songs of "Your all I need to get by", The Onion Song , although he did duet with Dianna Ross as well.
