Saying R.I.P. Levi Stubbs

by Mark Forman on October 18, 2008

The Four Tops were a major part of that wonderful Motown sound that was part of the aural background of my childhood: Sugar Pie,Honey Bunch, Reach Out and I'll be There. Lead singer Levi Stubbs died today at 72. He had a wonderful baritone voice and brought many smiles to my face through the beautiful harmonies he performed with his musical brothers. Thank you Levi for the wonderful music and my condolences to your family-you'll be missed.

    Man, the Four Tops. They were great. Not a bad song in they many they recorded. I never knew the names of individual group members in the days of my misspent youth. It's too bad that I learn them now as they pass on.
