Dear Robert:
We just finished watching your beautifully produced tribute to our 55th anniversary! What a special way for you to show your love, understanding and appreciation of our work and our lives together!! The performances you chose and the order in which you presented them was genius. The way you wove our years together with the group and the performances since then captured the essence of who we are and what has mattered in our lives. We laughed and we cried as we enjoyed so many wonderful memories. Some videos you chose we didn’t remember at first, but it was wonderful to see them again!
Thank you, Robert, for your love, your ongoing support and commitment to our work and our lives!
Forever 5th Dimension is so sorry to learn of the passing of the wonderful Abdul “Duke” Fakir at 88, the energetic and elegant original member of Motown legends, The Four Tops, who remained with the group for over 7 decades. His longtime friend, LaMonte McLemore of The Original 5th Dimension reflects: “We all came up together, respected our mutual talents, rooted for, admired and learned from one another on our roads to success. The dapper Duke was truly a great guy.”
Enjoy this special version of “Stoned Soul Picnic” as recorded by “The Magnificent 7″…The Supremes and The Four Tops:
