This is so beautiful.......I was so lucky to see them in UK when I was in my 20s it seems things are always going to be there that we love and enjoy, but time changes us all and we lose the people and the music we loved that we followed and shows how short life really is. But thanks for sharing this with us we fans won't forget
Theo and Aretha paying tribute to the great Levi Stubbs ... how beautiful. Levi coming in to sing "I believe in you and me" is such a treasure. Thank you for posting.
I had never heard the Four Tops sing this. I only heard Whitney Houston, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, jr, but I really like this version. So much passion
Levi passed just a day before my birthday. His voice shaped my life from a boy of 8 years old, when I bought my first 45, Reach Out, til the man I am today. You may have passed, but your voice and light will live on.
As a fan of Motown, growing up in Detroit was the most amazing musical exposure. I lived in the west side neighborhood where all the Motown stars lived, Stevie Wonder lived around the block from me, Lawrence Payton, Levi Stubbs, Duke Fakir all lived near me. I feel fortunate to have been a child hood friend of Roqe Payton who I am proud of. Motown was and is magic, an enchanting sound that will never die. Long live the immortal voice of Levi Stubbs. Your voice will forever be heard & loved.
@abjuttie You are a person who has had a share of their lives and although I think you are more lucky, maybe not as you have more sadness at seeing the people you know slowly ebb away with them taking the old music to see, but our memories won't fail us and R.I.P. x
How many times in my life since 1965 I sung for myself your songs when I was in the mood for it? I can't say it but a thousand times like my children do it now. I'm a man but so many tears are running down my face now-I never thought that I would be so close to you and your music after more than 40 years. But you will never really leave us because I take care of your musical heritage as well as my children will take it over from me when my black horse will take me away.Rest in peace soulbrother.
The Four Tops are my favorite Motown group. I've always had much love and respect for them as singers and as people. They are legends in music. Rest in peace Levi.
Levi you will be missed by so many of us. Your unique style will never be duplicated. There is only one Levi Stubbs your pain and suffering is now over and you can sing now in peace with the angels and oh what a sound they will have with your beautiful voice. Rest in peace Levi you deserve it.
God Bless the great voices who gave us so many good times, may they rest in peace. The songs will be here forever. There has to be one hell of a band in heaven, so we all have something to look forward too someday....
i love the temps but lets not forget that theo continued the superb vocals of many temps lead vocalists where moving to the four tops he took on the ultimate job of following a giant among vocalists and does it well...and if ever you go and watch the tops and want theo's autograph look behind the coach,the crafty sod lights up there ha..take care
Fabulous tribute. I have written and recorded a trıbute to the Soulsters of the 1960 and 70's 'Summer Loving'. Please check it out and leave a comment.
of course no one can replace levi, levi has a great voice right with david, dennis, ollie woodson,though i look at theo as a tempt,once a tempt always a tempt/but this generation are in good hands with theo/and he gets more props with the tops than when he was with the tempts, some tempts fan think only david can sing.
As a Four Tops fan I can't say enough about Theo Peoples. No, he can't replace Levi Stubbs because no one can replace Levi Stubbs, but Theo has a style that is all his own and a powerful voice and great showmanship. Duke,Theo, Ronnie and Roquel have caught the ball and they're bringing it to a whole new generation! FOUR TOPS FOREVER!
Of course no one can replace the original set -- they made the Four Tops the legendary group they are. But they could not have found a more talented new front man. Theo is one of the best pure singers in the world, and one of the most polite -- he let me interrupt him to ask for an autograph, and took time to really have a conversation. I wish them much success in continuing the legacy!
I just bought the 50th Anniversary CD and I keep playing it over and over again. Theo Peoples is going to keep the Four Tops name alive for the next generation. He has some tremendous shoes to fill. Levi Stubbs has one of the great voices of all time. As a long time Tops fan I thank whoever was responsible for posting this.
yay! go the four tops lol i love motown music and ive seen a remake of the four tops @ a hotel in tenerife! me n ma mate layla r the motown luvvers coz were both african lol x
Cool Clip from their 50th anniversary concert. To four top fans, I think The current four tops staring Theo People and The Duke are still a must see in concert.
What a wonderful video. Thanks Just love Levi's voice.
