R.I.P. Mr. Levi Stubbs

With all the happy and amazing things happening this weekend I neglected to post a tribute to Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops. Sadly, Mr. Stubbs passed away this weekend at the age of 72. With a voice that could slow down time, rhythm and point of place in the music that took one's breath away, and a passion that made for an outstanding career...He will be missed.


I am especially fond of this song because it was one of the first Four Tops hits to be revived during the mid-seventies disco era by Gloria Gaynor, among others.
Mr. Stubbs, your talent lives on and for that I thank you.

And so it goes
