Dan T. Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Great Motown sound. I almost think the Four Tops were better, if not more prolific, than the Temptations. DETROIT (AP) — Four Tops lead singer Levi Stubbs, who possessed one of the most dynamic and emotive voices of all the Motown singers, died Friday at 72. He had been ill recently and died in his sleep at the Detroit house he shared with his wife, said Dana Meah, the wife of a grandson. The Wayne County medical examiner's office also confirmed the death. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gVcyL44pVOU0eS76wrmRsuwlw8VgD93SF6G81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 The Four Tops are one of my favorite bands from Motown. While you come to expect this, it still makes you shake your head. R.I.P., Levi. Your easily-recognizable voice stood out in your generation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x55tMpAHuI8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Some friends and I had a little wake for Levi. Played a lot of vinyl 45's. We are very big Motown fans--I have been all my life. One of the guys was in a Temptations cover band for years. When I sang, I used to do several Four Tops classics. RIP Mr. Stubbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
