This is a big shocker! I've just been sitting here holding back tears. Ironically, I just brought the Four Tops Anthology from Amazon.com this week before he passed away because my other Four Tops albums were misplaced. Man, why do all the great ones have to go? He was One of the greatest and most empowering vocalists of our time.
We will miss you Mr. Stubbs...
This one is dedicated to him in his honor: I Believe in You & Me Check me out and add me on:

Here she is! We couldn't say goodbye to Levi Stubbs without an appearance from his sweet Bernadette!
I looked for this all day yesterday. Someone finally put it up the best way he could. I'm sure Levi's smiling! We'll always adore you, Levi!  [Edited 10/18/08 16:20pm] I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

RIP.
At least one member of all the great, Motown, groups are no longer with us. In the case of the Temps aren't all of the original members dead The only groups I can think of where all members are still alive are the J5...just about and the Commodores. | |

Otis Williams, the founder of The Temptations is still alive and so is Adul "Duke" Fakir of The 4 Tops. I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

So sorry to hear of this. I just read it (ok--so I just woke up-long night) on Google news, and I knew it would be here.

[Edited 10/18/08 16:20pm] I just talked to one of my Aunts in Boston, we were talking about Levi and she told me a funny story. She said when I was about 6, my family went to visit her in Boston and they were playing cards, partying and listening to records. Well, Bernadette was playing and I ran to my daddy and told him just as big as I pleased, that I wanted my name to be Bernadette because I liked that song so much. The funny part is my daddy was none too happy about that, since his name was Daniel and my name is Danielle! I thought that was cute enough to share, since I wasn't quite sure where I picked up my love for this song!  I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |
