    Levi had such dedication to his group. He would not abandon regardless of how famous he became. He was not a traitor. The fact the he was married to one woman says much about his loyalty to his family. What a great man.
    Thank you Mr. Stubbs..

    Omg. How can it be that Levi Stubbs and Jackie Wilson were in the same family? Two of the most handsome, talented people to ever live? They were so popular, such energy, such beautiful men, a joy to behold. I will never forget them, the essence of the 60’s. From a little white girl in Philadelphia.

    What a voice! Great songs to sing. His loyalty to his group, his family, and Detroit never wavered. The Four Tops ended a concert late in Germany. They were supposed to be on the PanAm flight that blew up over Lockerbie, Scotland. Thank goodness they missed that horrible flight. Did you mention, Ain’t No Woman Like the Woman I Got, Just Ask the Lonely, and She Used to Be My Girl? The harmonies were so tight, I can not break down the other Four Tops parts. I hope Mr. Fakir teaches someone, so we admirers can replicate their harmony sound.

    I loved the Four Tops music. Levi Stubbs sounded like a class act. He honored and respected band unity. Unlike others of his time, who allowed their egos to run rampant by dumping their fellow group members (who helped them gain their popularity), he stayed put. That's true loyalty and dedication, imo!

    People may disagree with me,but I believe Levi Stubbs was the BEST male vocalist to come out of Motown,even better than Ruffin and Smokey. Just Listen to "I Believe In You And Me" that was later covered by Whitney Houston. No one could match his power or emotion when he sang.

    My grandma when I was growing up was a huge fan of Levi. Anyway, I love the four Tops. They didn't have no drama, and no ego unlike the Temptations changing members like a person changing underwear. It was a little tough to keep up with members of the Temptations. The Four Tops stayed together until death broke them up. Here is a list of my favorite songs by them. Bernadette, light my fire, reach out I'll be there, i'm your man, catfish, body and soul, Stillwater love, I believe in you and me, when she was my girl, tonight I'm gonna love you all over, the four of us, and indestructible. Oh! I can't forget about your sexy ways. Bernadette was also the late great Aretha Franklin's favorite song as well. Just like the salt 'n peppas song says, what a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man. That's the man that Levi was. A really good man.
