Lecture 7: The Four Tops perform “Baby I Need Your Loving” in 1966. One of the most beloved Motown acts, The Four Tops – Levi Stubbs, Abdul “Duke” Fakir, Renaldo “Obie” Benson, and Lawrence Payton – continued scoring big hits well into the 1980s. Today, alas, the only surviving member is Abdul “Duke” Fakir (1935-  ). They were responsible for so many memorable tunes. It’s impossible NOT to love these guys.

Sabías que, hoy cumple 87 años el cantante estadounidense de soul y R&B Abdul ‘Duke’ Fakir nacido en Detroit, miembro de los Four Tops desde 1954. Banda insignia del sello Motown, a partir de 1964 consiguieron éxito tras éxito: 'Baby I need your loving', 'I can't help myself' (1965), 'Reach out I'll be there', 'Standing in the shadows of love' (1966), 'Walk away Renée' (1968), 'It's all in the game' (1970). El año 1972 abandonaron el sello y tras varios intentos fallidos en otras casas discográficas los Tops volvieron con Motown a tiempo de celebrar en 1983 el 25 aniversario del sello. Actualmente, con el grupo aún activo, Fakir es el único miembro original vivo. @relaxvideobar www.relaxvideobar.com (en RELAX VIDEO BAR) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmqL113M0Ga/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got)" is a 1973 hit single written by Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter, released as a single by the Four Tops on the ABC/Dunhill record label, from the album Keeper of the Castle. It reached number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number one on the Cash Box Top 100, and became a Gold record.

The song was originally recorded by the singing trio of Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds and released on their 1972 album, Hallway Symphony.

The Four Tops' hit version was led by longtime singer Levi Stubbs, and included special co-lead spots by the other Tops, Lawrence Payton, Renaldo "Obie" Benson and Abdul "Duke" Fakir, in that respective order during the song's chorus. The song explains the love a man feels for the woman he's in love with.

Their second single release on ABC after leaving Motown in 1972, the song became their most successful post-Motown Top 40 hit, reaching number four on the US Pop Singles chart. It was also another big success for the group on the US R&B Singles chart, where it peaked at number two.
