Guest Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Mary was excellent. Top marks, a real credit. she was great, just a shame half the programme was wasted interviewing Graham Norton, could have shown tons more Motown clips. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest stash313 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 mind you i went to see the four tops in stoke a few years ago would have been better to call them the milk bottle tops Certainly wouldn't have been the Four Tops you saw. The Tops today contain former member of The Temptations Theo Peoples, Ronnie Mcneir, Roquel Payton (Lawrence Payton's son) and Abdul Duke Fakir. There have been a number of fake versions of The Four Tops and The Temptations touring the UK and US for a number of years, one of these was recently brought to court and successfully sued by The Tops. "Abdul "Duke" Fakir, founder member of Motown legends The Four Tops, emerged victorious from the High Court in London today. Duke's action has been against Viscount Oliver Miller, who toured the UK for several years under the name Viscount Oliver's Legendary Four Tops and went as far as to register the trademark "Viscount Oliver's American Dream The Legendary Four Tops". Miller had never been a member of the Four Tops, nor had he ever performed or recorded with them and publicity materials were causing venue managers and the public to be misled into believing that his group was or was associated with the real Four Tops Thanks to a conscientious fan this confusion was brought to Duke's attention. Miller's failure to stop touring as Viscount Oliver's Legendary Four Tops together with his refusal to surrender his trademark left Duke no option but to protect The Four Tops fans and their legacy through the High Court. Miller's defence was recently struck out following persistent and serious breaches of Court Orders and today the High Court awarded The Four Tops: - An injunction to restrain Miller from performing or recording music under the name "Viscount Oliver's Legendary Four Tops", "The Four Tops" or any other deceptively similar names and from advertising or otherwise promoting such performances or recordings. - A Declaration that the registered UK trademark "Viscount Oliver's American Dream The Legendary Four Tops" is invalid. - An Order for Dissemination - an interesting Court Order which is rarely granted. - Damages" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Barry Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The beauty of watching Duke Fakir's moves are possibly beyond speech. The conviction that he put into his routines I find spell-binding, given that on paper he should have been the least convincing. Great stuff. I do still see a great deal of Sean Penns 'Davey Kleinfeld' in his performance which I must say add to my enjoyment. still have a tissue with Mary's lipstick on from - leicester maybe, early 80's -lovely looking woman to this day. If I could choose a moment from Motowns history that really picks me up, it would have to be Stevies b&w rendition of 'Uptight'! Simply inspirational.
