Only 1 orginal TOP is here - the one on the right with the glasses (Duke). Levi Stubbs, the orginal lead singer got throat cancer in 2002, he is still alive, but not well enough to sing. Obie Benson died in 2005, and one died several years ago. The son of the one that died several years ago (Payton) is on this group - he was way on the far left. The lead singer is Theo Peoples, he use to be a Temptation (not an orignal Temp.) Theo is a good singer and they are still fun to see live.
The original lead singer Levi Stubbs had a stroke in 2000. Had Theo Peoples took his place till he returns. Lawrence Payton died back in 1997. and Obie died in 2005. So that leaves Duke as the only original Top to still be performing.
RIP Levi

I think we are missing a couple of Tops? A few of them are much too young,to be the originals.
