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.
All of their songs were Classics,with Levi Stubbs out front. Ain't No Woman Like the One I Got, is a personal favorite, but the entire catalog has Always gotten it done. ⭐⭐⭐
Yes! "Still Waters Run Deep" makes me stop dead in my tracks! The song is as haunting as it is beautiful! Levi and his Four Tops "brothers" who passed before him, rest peacefully ❤
LEVI WAS LOYAL TO HIS WIFE AND FAMILY AND LOYAL TO HIS GROUP. MOTOWN WANTED TO RENAME AS LEVI AND THE TOPS, BUT HE SAID NO, WE ARE FOUR. ❤ RIP FROM YOUR ENGLISH FANS OVER HERE IN THE UK 🇬🇧
A great group and a great lead singer. The Tops were never the same after he could not sing any more and they brought in a replacement. I love ALL of their hits!!
An outstanding singer who provided a sound track for your life, and what is further learned is a man of high character. I loved this summary of his life. SOAR IN POWER KING!!
I've always enjoyed the Four Tops music, it's rare to find the level of loyalty Levi Stubbs had to his family and the group, it truly speak volumes of the type of person he was, may he rest in paradise.
Levi was a loyal group member AND was loyal to his family and had one wife all his life. The click bait pic with the big boobs chick was not necessary and disrespectful. R.I.P. Levi Stubbs.
You are SO RIGHT! It is NOT necessary and HIGHLY disrespectful!! The late Levi Stubbs' great talent and character, along with his good looks stand alone!!! In Remembrance Oct. 17, 2008
LEVI STUBBS WAS VERY DEDICATED TO HIS GROUP THEY ALL WAS SHARP CLASSY NEVER HEARD NO CONFUSSION LIKE THE OTHER MOTOWN GROUPS I LOVED THIS GROUP ❤️ AND STILL TODAY PLAYS THERE CD 💿 GOD BLESS LEVI STUBBS THAT WAS THE MAN 😢
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!
Whatever it is one of the most beautiful ballads ever sung. Still waters I believe in you and me And I loved Levi in Little Shop of Horrors, feed me Seymour!
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.
Came up on their music, played by my mother, garage parties in teens, personally meeting, Assisting Promoter's backing one of many road tours, as a young woman, continuing to this day, enjoying their music!
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.
Many people may disagree, but I don't. He had a remarkable voice, just like Jackie Wilson did. What a family!! Even Otis Williams of The Temptations, said in an interview, that he thought that Levi Stubbs was the best male vocalist to come out of Motown.
Yes, you are correct! LEVI Stubbs was the man! To me the 4 tops was the Motown sound. Coupled with the song writers of HDH they had hit after hit, after hit!😂
BEAUTIFUL SINGER/ VOCALIST. MY FAVORITE MOTOWN RECORDS MALE SINGER. ALWAYS. HE ALWAYS SOUND GREAT. WHETHER ON RECORDS OR LIVE PERFORMANCES ALTHOUGH CATEGORIZED AS A. **** BARITONE REGISTER VOICE ****. HE OFTEN SANG **HIGH NOTES**. MY FAVORITE SONGS RECORDED BY. ****THE FOUR TOPS**** ARE "" BERNADETTE"". & "" STANDING IN ""THE SHADOWS OF LOVE "". MISS GLADYS KNIGHT HAS THE SAME SENSATIONAL VOCAL TYPE SKILLS AND AMAZING VOICE. SHE SOUNDS AWESOME ON RECORD AND AWESOME IN LIVE PERFORMANCES. I SIMPLY MELT WHEN I HEAR ** LEVI** SINGS SO BEAUTIFULLY. "" I BELIEVE IN YOU AND ME "". REST IN PEACE MUSIC WARRIOR. SEE YOU IN MUSIC PARADISE !! ❤❤❤❤
💜 Four Tops as lead singer Cared about his group, Levi Stubbs was devotion to his wife,/ family 🔥 Plus his great looks 🔥 His great singing 🔥 Dancing, looking nice clothes, face "..Sugar Pie Honey Bunch " I suppose is my fave..Hard as so many great songs..I last ssw Four Tops few years ago..Seen them MANY times in person in upstate NY. I remember inviting them to my home for home cooked meal when they were in tour..Eventually when I did security, Brought meal with me to concert..
Very smart brilliant young man he knows what he wants and he knows what he's talking about he is a true angels of the Lord Jesus Christ he's going to be a smart brilliant kid when he grows up😊😊😊 Byron you a cool man😅😅😅
Such an amazing vocalist,😊Levi had such a powerful voice I truly Loved until the group was no longer around, My all-time favorite song will be "ASK THE LONELY"🎉🎉❤a TRULY CLASSIC from an amazing R&B Quartet forever and always, LEVI'S powerful soaring vocals 💥💯are truly UNFORGETTABLE ❤!!!!
TO THE WORLD WITHOUT THE TOPS, THERE WOULD BE NO “LEVI”, WITHOUT LEVI, THERE WOULD BE NO “TOPS WITHOUT NEITHER ONE THERE WOULD BE NO GREAT “LOVE MUSIC” THAT THE WORLD HAS TO ENJOY FOREVER AND A DAY!!
Levi was apart of the four tops! Never stood above.. love him for that. Still water, Just ask the lonely are just a couple of personal favs. ...dude lose the pic
This gives so much more meaning to the song indestructible! History will show that he was a team player. Personally, I am a fan of the group . To see them brake up would be like witnessing a divorce where you have love both partners.
We already know that he was a true and loyal husband and father but he also remained loyal to the other members of the Four Tops. When offered a contract to go solo he refused this on the basis that they were his friends and he wanted to stay together with them. What a man.
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.
Why the cover photo of the well endowed lady? Pretty much a quick synopsis of Levi and the Four Tops. Their legacy lives on as long as the music plays so keep on listening to the greatest group to ever come out of Detroit. R.I.P. Levi, Obie and Lawrence and long live tge Duke! 💖
Why do they have this huge boobed woman's picture right beside Levi Stubbs'?!! That, to me, insinuates that he was a cheat instead of the loyal man that this wonderful piece spoke of.
The grave is NOT the final place for the dead, bro, don't get it twisted you will have to give an account for everything you have done in this wicked world and then you are sent to wherever you have chosen to spend ETERNITY, HELL OR HEAVEN.. THAT'S EVERYONE'S CHOICE..BY THE LIFESTYLE YOU LIVE, HOLY OR UNHOLY..
The story was about Levi Stubbs' great talent and his loyalty to his bandmates. What in the world does The Four Tops being smokers have to do with that?! A person could be a non smoker and still be a cheating letch with no talent.
*_What your favorite songs from the Four Tops lead by Levi Stubbs?_* Like the video for more
They to make a movie about them .
Standing In The Shadows Of Love🤩
"I BELIEVE IN YOU AND ME"
"Still Waters"
Levi could out sing all 5 Temps and that includes David or Dennis on lead.
One of my favorite groups ever. Levi Stubbs had a great voice. Real friends.
Levi Stubbs was my favorite,Sooo, handsome and talented.I enjoyed all the Tops music and love looking at them ProForm 😢😢. Truly Missed.
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.

"Ain't no woman like the one I got" yes I love that singer.
That's my favorite song as well
RIP Levi and thanks for so much great music over your lifetime!
Levi Stubbs was truly a great singer in a great group, but it seemed he was an even greater person Loyalty like his is rare
The MAN was SELFLESS. He ALWAYS put his colleagues ahead of his own needs and he STAYED with his WIFE and family until his death......What a MAN.
An outstanding singer who provided a sound track for your life, and what is further learned is a man of high character. I loved this summary of his life. SOAR IN POWER KING!!
I remember even though I was 6 years old 1966. Rip greatness Amen 🙏.
❤ 2024. Forever in my. Playlist ( Four. Tops ) ❤
I've always enjoyed the Four Tops music, it's rare to find the level of loyalty Levi Stubbs had to his family and the group, it truly speak volumes of the type of person he was, may he rest in paradise.

Toxic social media
Thank u VERY much 4 saying that! Mr. Stubbs was a class act. There was no need 2 post that bimbo next 2 his pic.
You are SO RIGHT! It is NOT necessary and HIGHLY disrespectful!! The late Levi Stubbs' great talent and character, along with his good looks stand alone!!! In Remembrance Oct. 17, 2008

The 4 Tops, Dells, and many more stayed together
Levi was a great singer and industry tried to get him to leave the group and he wouldn't leave his friends.May God Rest His Beautiful Soul In Peace 🙏
THE TEMPS & THE TOPS TREMENDOUS HARMONY FROM BOTH GROUPS !!!! THESE BROTHERS WERE DEEPLY ROOTED , FUSED, BONDED THEIR HEARTS ETERNALLY !!
Still Water is my favorite 4tops recording
Just Ask For Lonely,& I just can't walk away are my 2 favorites by them
A Great balladeer singer, he was a true singer of talent. He was a top singer that made the Four tops. Their music was magnificent!

Still waters
I believe in you and me
And I loved Levi in Little Shop of Horrors, feed me Seymour!
I'm impressed! No one knows Whatever it Is. What a stunningly beautiful song, brilliantly delivered by Levi and the Boys.
@@JimD56 I only heard it on the now defunct WNJR in Newark NJ
@@TheHappinessHelper_XO If you have Spotify, it's on the LP One More Mountain, along with I Believe in You and Me.

Levi way above them all !!
I agree
Love the four tops my favorite! Levi has my highest respect so loyal to his wife and the other members of the group! A WONDERFUL MAN !!
Why would you add the picture of the provocative female in the background?! That really wasn't necessary.
I agree. No need for the click bait.
Right??? Always have to insert them in our peoples success. That chick's picture was totally unnecessary. Sickening!!!!!
Exactly
For likes?? Bro enough already...
This why I will not hit the link ke button nor hear the the whole clip. Sickning because of the kryptonite bait click
ALL of their songs from 1964 to 1973

You forget about Still Waters and in this Changing Times
Shake me,Wake me when it's over.
Levi didn't retire in 2008. His last full concert for the public was at the end of 2000, after which Theo Peoples moved over to the lead microphone.
He killed the jam
By by Levi 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Are you Man Enough.
That woman on the thumbnail is not Levi’s wife. Man you guys are ridiculous
My teen years. 1973 Ain’t no women like the one I got! 🎵was the song 🎵my ex husband had for me back then! Oh well! 🙆🏼♀️
Who is this women in background Miss leading to me .
What’s with the woman who’s clearly not his wife in the picture tasteless Levi Stubbs a brilliant singer RIP
Bernadette
You missed "Keeper of the Castle" and "Still Waters" as others of their biggest hits
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Delete that woman on the thumbnail you added her just for clicks disrespectful
Little Shop Of Horrors

Stupid comment from things about them. Levi was secessful solo or in a group. Loyalty ❤
Why do they have this huge boobed woman's picture right beside Levi Stubbs'?!!

A lot of the MOTOWN AND THE DETROIT MUSIC INDUSTRY ARE RELATED BY BLOOD OR MARRIAGE!
Why did they put the whire up there to entice people to click on this video?
No need for the female.
ALL NASTY SMOKERS!!

I read the comment about the picture in the background so now I’m not even going to check the video out next time do it right?🥸
Shake me,Wake me when it's over.
