RIP Levi Stubbs.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The world is a little sadder today. No more new Four Tops -- only the same old songs.

They changed their name to The Tops when a previous member died -- the same guys had sung together for over 40 years IIRC, which is a hell of a lot of harmony and friendship.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Especially at Motown, where most lead singers eventually went solo.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I remember when "Reach Out" was a Top 40 hit and it seemed like the most impassioned and driving vocal I'd ever heard.

Aww, damn. Wasn't he the voice of Audrey II?
He was.
And a fine Audrey he was. "Feed me, Seymour!"

Norman Whitfield, who was also namechecked in that song, also passed away recently.

I always wanted to write an article about Norman, but settled for my piece on the late Temptations record, 1990, in Lost in the Grooves. What a great songwriter and producer.
"Smiling Faces" is so sinister.
