You're right, Levi was a beautiful man. He did a lot of voice work without the other 3 tops. Yet, he insisted his entire career that his pay and royalties be split 4 ways. What a man!
what a pleasure. Aretha plays piano and theyre just playing around beautifully. Notice the other three tops just swaying together naturally? Its all so sweet.
"I can't look at you and sing" 🤣🤣🤣 She was too funny. 2 Legends.. Can't get no better than that. Her voice really was, is and will always be a natural resource. Rest In Peace Madam Franklin.❤ RIP Levi Stubbs.
This is such a beautiful duet. I think Levi had some serious feelings for Aretha. Not saying they were acted on. I wish this was a ringtone. I would definitely have it. Love love love!!!!
I absolutely agree. There’s definitely chemistry there between Levi and Ms Aretha. I believe they probably liked each other a lot more than just friends but Levi being married kept them from being together in that way. They always sounded so beautiful singing together.
OMG! These two soul singers are just awesome! Like I've said before never ever will you hear music like this again! RIP Aretha@Levi. Two souls meet again in a much happier place
Indeed! UA-cam ensures that those of us blessed to have lived to enjoy truly great music can ALWAYS enjoy it and don't have to suffer through what is being passed off as music in this day.
That's one thing I love about this group - they loved him so much they never showed or pushed for lead singer and Levi never put himself out there as lead singer. As he said "we come as a package " Beautiful Soul.
Just a joy, oh the pleasure to be found in these beautiful voices. It is lovely to see Ree and the Tops in such a playful mode, but no matter what they do they just can't help but make beautiful music. The Tops are no longer with us and Aretha will be greatly missed too. The legacy left behind and the pleasure they will always bring will be incalculable. Thank you Aretha for this and so many other glorious moments.
WOW ! such a beautiful interaction between Aretha & Levi and the 4 Tops. First time for ME to see Aretha in an humble & flirty & school girlish type mood. It was nice to see her not in D-I-V-A mode for a change. I love the duet she and Smokey performed on Soul Train, too.
LOVE THIS, BRINGING BACK SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES!!.AS A, TEENAGER I, COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF THE FOUR TOPS. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT'S BEEN OVER 52YRS AGO..MY, MY..WHAT GOOD TIMES, EVEN IF THERE WAS A CHANCE TO BE THAT AGE AGAIN..I, WOULD NOT WANT TO BE A TEENAGER IN 2017. NO WAY.
I loved it when Aretha said he’s married. Which Levi was married until his death. He was married to the same individual for 48 years. How impressive. For some weird reason, I always thought that they was a couple until years ago I read about Levi. In fact, my grandmother had a massive crush on Levi may she rest in peace as well. However, Duke is still pushing on. Rest in peace to the three tops and Aretha Franklin. My favorite song that she recorded with the Four Tops was on the jump to it album back in 1982.
@@Trina-k8s yes they are. And there is only one temptation left and one replacement temptation left. That is Otis Williams the original, and Ron Tyson the replacement.
I like how they have to keep looking away from one another to keep control of kissing or something b/c Levi keeps moving in lol. The chemistry in their voices singing this song is saying I want you now.
There's so many horrible people in the music industry which helps make Levi extra special, loyal to his group despite being the clear outstanding talent and married 50 years is rare for a touring musician.
You're right, Levi was a beautiful man. He did a lot of voice work without the other 3 tops. Yet, he insisted his entire career that his pay and royalties be split 4 ways. What a man!
Beautiful showman ship four tops Aretha Stevie wonder. Beautiful to see💜💜 Much love I.
😮❤
R.i.p Duke Fakir !!!
Wow!, Two Iconic Talents. Aretha and The Tops. It simply doesn’t get any better. Never will.
Aretha loved her some male vocalist!!!! Men moved her soul 😂!
Ain't no body in this world sung like Levi. He might not be on earth anymore, but his music and memory are both eternal.
Damn the chemistry they had❤
Two of the most Magnificent voices of our lifetime... singing in Heaven now.
RIP Aretha Franklin And Levi Stubbs

Her voice really was, is and will always be a natural resource.
Rest In Peace Madam Franklin.❤
RIP Levi Stubbs.
Levi's voice like no other! Impressive man insisting they all get paid equally! Miss him and the Fabulous Four Tops

Miss the FourTops and all music from this era. music like this will not repeat and can't be copied. Never!
I am so happy for youtube.
Indeed! UA-cam ensures that those of us blessed to have lived to enjoy truly great music can ALWAYS enjoy it and don't have to suffer through what is being passed off as music in this day.
It don't get no better. Who else sounds that good live? Nobody
That's one thing I love about this group - they loved him so much they never showed or pushed for lead singer and Levi never put himself out there as lead singer. As he said "we come as a package " Beautiful Soul.
TRUE EMOTIONAL LOVE FOR EACH OTHER! RIP BOTH BEAUTIFUL SOULS!!!!

Duke is still with us.
Annette, thanks for putting me right on that, i do apologise for my error...glad to be corrected.
its a shame Aretha didnt record studio duets during this era - would have made for a great album
Yes the Queen did,she sang with George Benson
The song is called love all the hurt away,a beautiful song,you have to give it a listen
she also did “I wanna make it up to you” with Levi.. It’s beautiful
She recorded quite a bit of duets!

SPLENDID, IN SPLENDOR! RAW, UNADULTERATED IMPROVISATION!
AND TO HAVE A WOMAN LEAD THE TOP VOCAL GROUP ON PLANET EARTH!!!

REMEMBERING LEVI STUBBLES
"LEVI STUBBS"
(June 6, 1936 - October 17, 2008)
[06/06/2022]
Mr Levi Stubb's always b remember inspirational singer
Levi loved Aretha and the feeling was surely mutual as we can all see here.
Rip Levi and Aretha 😞😞
Together again!. RIP Aretha.
Can life get any better listening to these two very good friends and super stars. All i can say is wow.❤❤❤❤.
Something about the way she sings...what a beauty
Aretha was a beautiful woman and I think she knew it
This is amazing! Two of the greatest voices. Ever.
MAGNIFICENT ❤❤❤
I loved it when Aretha said he’s married. Which Levi was married until his death. He was married to the same individual for 48 years. How impressive. For some weird reason, I always thought that they was a couple until years ago I read about Levi. In fact, my grandmother had a massive crush on Levi may she rest in peace as well.

All are at Woodlawn Cemetery together now 🙏💕
@@Trina-k8s yes they are. And there is only one temptation left and one replacement temptation left. That is Otis Williams the original, and Ron Tyson the replacement.
We must also recognize Duke, who remained married to second wife, Piper, for 50 years. 1974-2024.
@@annetterichard7425 wow! At least he got it together with Piper. May Duke rest in heavenly peace.
Absolutely Beautiful Music from the World's Best Legends
so beautiful bless Levi and Aretha jve
I don't think i'm old enough to be watching this!!! To much sexual tension! Love it baby!
But they are both singing together in heaven bless them xx

This cleanses the internet.
Classic song 🎶
I LUV THIS RAW VERSION .......... SO SOULFUL ..........
Aretha and Levi are now singing together again. 08/16/2018
I like how they have to keep looking away from one another to keep control of kissing or something b/c Levi keeps moving in lol. The chemistry in their voices singing this song is saying I want you now.
You are 100% correct.............What chemistry !!!!!!!!!!!!
Now and forever!
They all knew LOVE!
Good song
There's so many horrible people in the music industry which helps make Levi extra special, loyal to his group despite being the clear outstanding talent and married 50 years is rare for a touring musician.
very, very touching
Wow wow Levi with Aretha
Simply wonderful
All hail to these wonderful singers two of the BEST love them all😍💕❤️
