The Four Tops - 'When She Was My Girl' (1990) - MDA Telethon

Check out The Four Tops as they perform "When She Was My Girl" during the 1990 MDA Labor Day Telethon! This is a stirring performance guaranteed to have you dancing all night!

The MDA Labor Day Telethon was an enchanting yearly variety show that ran for half a century. Hosted for many years by Jerry Lewis, the telethon featured top stars from the world of music, comedy, and Broadway and was like no other show on earth.

THE GREAT LEVI STUBBS The legendary iconic tops history will never forget

Levi was one of my favorites. Got to see the Four Tops perform live in 1972 at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC. It was during the hippie times. They had every student; teachers; and security guards up dancing by the second song. No other R&B group could have accomplished that during that time period. God bless all of them !!!! Thanks for being there !!! Love those guys !!!!

Levi was really powerful. The parts saying WHEN WE WALK DOWN THE STREET, I WOULD TELL EVERYONE WE MEET. PHENOMENAL

Levi Stubbs is one of my all-time singers. Loved the Four Tops

[ruthmachain]

They were the best of the best! Exceptional doesn’t cover it. When Levi Stubbs had health issues at the end it was heartbreaking.

Only just found this on YouTube and what a find, Levi still sounding at his best with the harmonies of the other three Tops backing vocals, so sad there's only Abdul surviving RIP you guys 😭

[lindagail]

Boy they were jamming what entertainers awesome stage presence and Levi’s strong voice love them

[hendrickmatau]

It reminds me of grandfather when he was still alive and life was good and enjoyable wholeheartedly.

[howardthrongard]

I’vd read that one time, responding to someone who asked him why he never left the group go solo, Levi Stubbs responded that there were Four Tops, not Three Tops! Greatest lead singer!

[GlendaClarke-ircd]

Once you've heard this song with a horn section and a Melodica, no other version can compare, but the bass man here is holding it down! This group never disappoints! Bring back the 3 missing links! ✨
