On the Paul O'Grady show tonight, they announced tomorrows feature - Thursday 5th March. A Motown special with an appearance by Mary Wilson.

Should be interesting!! An opportunity for POG and Graham Norton to dress up as Supremes and accompany Mary. :wicked:

....and there we have it :yes:

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.

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"

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.

that sounds like them i kinda knew it wasnt going to be the real ones but the advert was some thing like MOTOWN LEGENDS THE FOUR TOPS BLA BLA so we went few well known dj's were on with them ,having seen the real ones a bit before with ronnie mcneir singing lead i said to my mrs it might be him following on the back of the proper tour if you know what i mean ,but it wasnt they were all young blokes ok but not the four tops ,I wondered how they got away with it ,well now i know thanks.

What a waste of a show that would have been better with more clips and more info on motown not to have Graham Norton on

Mary Wilson was great though
