iPod Essentials #53: "Reach Out (I'll Be There)"--Four Tops

Levi Stubbs, the great singer of this group, passed away yesterday, so it's only fitting that he and the rest of the members get this spot on the list. Smokey Robinson said it best when he mentioned that no one could sing like Levi.

"Reach Out" is my favorite song of the Tops because of the intensity of Mr. Stubbs' vocals. You can feel his heart breaking as he sings to his lost love, all with a great danceable beat.

Sing away, Tops, wherever you are.
