Title: Re: Levi Stubbs Post by: Danjackson10 on Saturday, October 18, 2008, 12:51:12 i seen the four tops once! they were awsome!
Title: Re: Levi Stubbs Post by: ronnie21 on Saturday, October 18, 2008, 13:22:25 Classic motown - rip.
Title: Re: Levi Stubbs Post by: Sippo on Saturday, October 18, 2008, 19:05:58 Wasn't this from a tv ad at one point?
Classic. Title: Re: Levi Stubbs Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, October 18, 2008, 19:25:29 absoutely without doubt the greatest motown act of all time in my opinion.
R.I.P. Title: Re: Levi Stubbs Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Saturday, October 18, 2008, 19:33:03 thats debatable sonic, but what a label of singers, levi, marvin gaye, smokey robinson, stevie wonder, micheal jackson, temptations, martha reeves, diana ross the list is fucking endless.
Title: Re: Levi Stubbs Post by: leefer on Saturday, October 18, 2008, 19:56:42 Any band that can last 40 years is a sign of greatness....a great singer indeed.
Title: Re: Levi Stubbs Post by: herthab on Sunday, October 19, 2008, 09:25:40 Could've been a successful solo act as his voice was immense. The Four Tops and The Temptation are my favourite Motown groups, but I'd listen to any of them over most of todays music.
Title: Re: Levi Stubbs Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Monday, October 20, 2008, 10:46:20 That's sad - he was ace
Title: Re: Levi Stubbs Post by: Lumps on Monday, October 20, 2008, 11:25:55 I saw them at a soul weekender (at Caister I think) at some point in the mid 90's, which was probably in the last year or so with the original line up before Lawrence Payton died.
They were still fucking A. Ben E King was on the same bill and his voice had gone completely. Levi was brilliant (and of course was ace as the voice of Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors) Title: Re: Levi Stubbs Post by: Red End Street on Monday, October 20, 2008, 11:40:21 First LP I ever brought was "Four Tops Reach Out" R.I.P. Levi, one of the greatest voices in soul or any other type of music you care to mention.
