When you feel that you
Can make it all alone
Remember no one is big enough
To go at it alone
Just ask the lonely
They know the hurt & pain
Of losing a love you can never regain ...
Among a number of groups who helped define the Motown Sound of the 1960s, the Four Tops were notable for having Levi Stubbs, a baritone, as their lead singer when most groups of the time were fronted by a tenor.
Though "Ask The Lonely" wasn't as successful as later Four Tops radio standards, the arrangements of background harmonies , strings and percussion lend to craft a very powerful yet sad ballad. The final notes from Stubbs show just how distinctive the man's voice is .....a Motown classic no less.

Awesome song, legendary. Great musical intro. He goes to the peak on his vocal limit and succeeds. Background is nice also. One of my (Four Tops) faves.
Awesome, legendary, great..jeez...pretty strong words for a pretty crappy song. "Ask the Lonely" by Journey is much better than this noise. Take a look..
