@cippy2k I know u probably were trying to be funny in your own twisted way but these guys deserve the utmost respect asshole!! Maybe you're a Justin Bieber fan or something. Hang out on that talentless loser's site and post all of the ignorant comments you like!!
Levi Stubbs----"The Voice." When I think of the great R&B singers, I think of Wilson Pickett as having "The Style," Marvin Gaye having "The Sex," Otis Redding "The Soul" and I think we can say that Mr. Levi Stubbs had "The Voice."
britredneck, your reasoning is flawed. You're assuming that God violently kills people. I believe the "other player" is responsible for that, in most cases. What God did was to allow His Son to submit to a violent death so justice for our rebellion could be satisfied and we could be forgiven. That's how much He loves us. And yeah, He loves music......
not pissed off at all, you have a belief I have a belief they just happen not to be the same. What we do have is great taste in music, now there's something we can agree on and be happy about
Do you imagine god sits there in heaven and and while enjoying the singing of Levi Stubbs and David Ruffin and whilst enjoying their vocal talents he thinks to himself "Damn i'm good"
I didn't mean to start a religious discussion or piss anyone off. We all love the tops, and are saddened by levi's death. I merely find it heartbreaking and absurd to assume that god enjoys there singing in heaven, but thinks it's ok to violently kill people.
i didn't like it how that guy laughed when the terminallty ill Levi tried to sing, haw patronizing towards the best soul/ R&B voice of all time - R.I.P Levi!!!
i cant help myself saying its the same old song hes now standing in the shadow of love with bernadette if he was a carpenter he would built 7 rooms now hes saying im in a different world what a man r.i.p
A man's man. He never wanted to change the group to Levi Stubbs and the Three Tops. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Diana Ross and The Supremes, almost David Ruffin and The Tempations(they didn't let him pull that one off). R.I.P. Levi, you are loved.
@latour90, That was funny @ Levi and the THREE Tops! lol Funniest thing I've read or heard all day. You're RIGHT though. He DIDN'T. He was PERFECTLY CONTENT with it being about the GROUP, even though he was the front man. Poor Levi @ 2:23. You could tell he was having a good time though. RIP, Mr. Stubbs!
@Musicfan1020 Thank you for this video. It really makes me want to cry. I can't help but think of the way berry gordy mistreated, and basically ignored so much talent that was a part of the Motown machine. I really loved these guys. They were so down to earth and classy. I go back to "Reach Out, I'll Be There". The first time I saw them in concert was when Still Waters came out. I saw Duke Fakir on a PBS special around two years ago. TVOne should do an Unsung tribute to this group.
@Musicfan1020 If they made a video about them, there would probably be mno ridiculous drama like there was with that David Ruffin and the Temptations.I love them too but man, what a waste of talent, not talking about the drugs etc, but the fact that he felt HE was the group, and not all of them, but Levi and the Four Tops stayed a group.Maybe they had their drama, but when it came to performing, they were a team, a group, and one of the Best as far as I am concerned.I would love a movie too
@Musicfan1020 I meant to say if there was a Movie, not video,lol.I would love to see one made of them, but who would you love to see in the role as Levi?His voice was so distinctive, I really cant come up with anyone, and I would want someone who could actually sing
you know it has got to be very depressing to be the last man standing in such a great group, the last member alive was just on the grammys with neyo & john legend
as a fan! can you tell me~ why all the great motown groups espescially the Temptations , when doing a member replacement they can never come close to the original sound if not the look ? we bought the records because we fell in love with those great voices! Ruffin ! levi, kendricks, Paul, Smokey! you can't just replace smokey with a joe blow tenor , it's not the same sound. now the Stylistics got it right ! that guy sounds very cloe to Rusell thompkins jr.. come on motown acts! DAM! we love ya!
I totally agree, not only was he a honorable man but he was my favorite singer of all time.....even of the younger singers today, Levi stood out....Love you Levi and R.I.P.
the floor tops featuring the moldy deacyed body of levi stubbs can you see the worms crawling out from where his eyes once was? death is sooo great

I'm telling you whenever Levi sang the line "Baby I neeed your lovinnn" his voice from sea level to the mountaintop by the end of that lyric.
Brilliant performer who's badly missed but oh thank you for sharing your life Levi.
