Not a cover I have ever thought about ... but believe it or not, I can hear Levi in his agressive mode tackling this one :boogie:

Yeah, I can too. Like I had said, lol, if done under a different melody, harder and rawer R&B and all of that, it would've fit Levi like a glove.

:lol: @ Funk... that's a no-no, huh. :cheezy: Motowner, can I ask you a simple question: the world you come up with all these thoughts about "what if this happened and that happened?" :lol: You bored? That's like me asking can you imagine Smoke's ugly a$$ doing "Let's Get It On"? How many people would bet he do a good version? I'll bet my wave cap on it. :cheezy: PSYCH!

You're killing me ((Quick)) >>> :LOL: :haha: <<<And in repsonse to the thread topic...The Tops were a bit too sophisticated for Doo Wop- their sound. I mean they did In the Still of the Night as a jazz number

I gotcha, Funk. I don't know what I was thinking... HELL NAW, yeah, they were exactly TOO SOPHISTICATED for a song like "Shop Around". Gotta remember they were an established band that recorded jazz and standards years before Berry even thought of doing that for his artists. The Four Tops should be given credit for Berry to even envision that.

The you're killing me ((Quick)) should have been followed by a :LOL: or a :haha: And a space should have been placed in between for my response to the thread, not you're opinion ((Quick)) you know, I don't shoot your opinion down; I'm just amusingly shocked by your candor to the various thread titles :teehee:

I'm more amazed at Motowner, I know how much of a thinker he is, but dang, lol. He can sure make people go "no this guy didn't just ask us that question". Anyway, we dig you, Motowner. :wave:

Oh, Hell to the NAH Not Shop Around, not even- Just NO Straight up disagree do you ?? :lol: ((T84)) How you even gonna throw in the notion of Smokey doing LGIO?! up in the mix :befuddled: ... You know you are wrong for that one :lol: I will admit some of the questions we get around here have never even crossed my mind ... but that is what makes our discussions so refreshing

I understand what you all mean by them being too sophisticated, but I really believe that Levi would have the ability to make this one work out somehow

:cheezy: Yeah I know, but it's kinda funny imagining that. Guess I wanna make a point to Motowner, yeah interesting debate but we can't change history but it IS nice that he does bring these topics up.
