1. Magnificent-- and heard Bernadette on the radio today too

and always wanted to do this one but never could talk any band into it:

2. Bernadette is my favorite Four Tops song

It's because of the bass line

4. tough call for me, but Bernadette is right up there among their very best

and I can't think of a 4 Tops song that wasn't great or close to it, at all. And yeah, Jamerson was at the heart of the Motown groove. His son, who I think I've mentioned as being an acquaintance of mine , calls his father a musical genius. No argument here...( James Jr. is no slouch on the bass either, BTW)....And Levi Stubbs was one of those people whom I could have listened to sing absolutely anything, and be enthralled by it.

3. Don't be afraid...

5. Nothing better than the Four Tops with the Funk Brothers behind them.

Nice pick.
