..they really were, no money, no ego, no politics got in the way of their loyalty to one another....remarkable. They had a charmed life and deserved no less.
GREATEST SONG EVER. I met Levi Stubbs in our VA Hospital (Bethesda. MD) and he signed the album I had and said, "This will be ONLY the second time in my life I will sign my last name to an autograph. I just sign LEVI. But for you Marine, it is yours. My niece has the other one, but you REALLY deserve it. Anyone who lost his left foot, and took 13 bullets, and is still alive, YOU ARE TRULY INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!" YES I AM, I have a beautiful wife and daughters to come home to, and NOW we are TOGETHER AGAIN.......Semper Fi, Captain T, U.S.M.C.
You got too meet him! What a lovely thing to happen and treasure it for sure! What a beautiful memory and special gift you have! Semper Fi! My dear! Love your service to us all!
You are so correct! Saying the Four Tops are legends is an understatement! Great group of guys who looked out for each other. Levi was a leader who let Larry, Obie, and Duke lead with him!
This was released in January 1988. It is eerie and remarkable to read and learn the following: In Dec 1988 the Four Tops were busy recording in London and appeared at the BBC on the Top of the Pops music show. They were booked to fly back to New York and Detroit on Pan Am 103 on the 21st Dec. The B747 disintegrated by a bomb explosion over Lockerbie just before 7pm. They missed the flight because they overslept. This certainly gives the song 'indestructible' an entirely new meaning and context!
I am also a fan of their music then I read about the band,how close they were,and how levi Stubbs turned down a mega money offer to go solo to keep the group together, nothing but the utmost respect for their music and their values
When all the other lead singers went solo Levi stuck with his crew , the four tops were far more than the sum of their parts, together they were unbeatable
I love how people had respect and appreciation for the legends back in the day. nowadays not so much having a last song or comeback doesn’t mean anything anymore
The story of the four tops should be told in a truly respectable way how four men got along and nothing but death pull them apart.In show business this is rare.
Not only was Levi Stubbs the greatest lead singer ever, he was the best, & when you have the best, you can't get any better than that, He had the voice of an Angel, He truly was a world class act, He truly was a world class gentleman,, ...... Rip Sweet Levi, you are so truly loved......
A true singing group that has appealed to many generations. This is one of my favorite songs by them. Ask my mom and she will have a different favorite. Ask my son--different favorite. But one common thing is that we all love them and appreciate their music. RIP to the 3 original members. And thanks Duke for carrying on so even more generations can hear and appreciate these legends !!
I love the four tops more. Than I have ever. Lo ved any other group Ever!!!. I love way they. Love one another And I am deeply ln love. With that Fine A Levi Stubbs. And. That sexy voice of his. Just drives me nutty ❤ I love the way he. Dance. And the whole mine or 10 yards I love his loyal Ness to his group.O Levi. I wud marry you. Tonight .Now
Als Deutscher bekomme ich Gänsehaut, wenn ich diese erstklassige Musik höre - ich ziehe meinen Hut vor den Menschen, die imstande sind, die passenden Stimmen zu einer komponierten Musik zu Welterfolgen gebracht haben!
In the days before sagging pants . The guys were middle aged getting a little chunky. Did they care. Not a bit. Looking crisp singing proud having a great time. You can tell these guys were pals forever. How cool is that. And they re music showed it too. . And they re personal lives were in order too. Thats how you can tell character. They were the best. Singing for God now. Very cool
#FourTops #Indestructible #AlienNation #80sMusic.. still loving this in 2024 with the awesome old school music power of classic MTV, Motown and the movie, Alien Nation.
Levi put his heart and soul into his singing until the end! I love how his sound was so unique that they equated his awesome voice to pleading. His awesome life, voice, dedication to his group members, his humbleness, faith to his wife, just, a lot of things brings tears of joy to my eyes. He's one of my role models and influences, and The Four Tops is my favorite Motown group.
My favorite Motown group. Such great songs over the years. Levi had such a powerful voice. Only one member left as of this writing. WHY do people have to get old? RU-vid, don't you just love it!
This video plays like the opening of a superhero movie. Lone crusader walking alone down city streets joined by his fellow crusaders bringing together a city with love and hope.
I saw the four tops 4 times in one week in the eighties in one week at wakefield theatre club unbelievable group god preserve their souls Motown will live forever I know times have changed but the four tops will live forever no one can compare levi best singer ever backed by the best family ever my god perfection I cry for their loss I will join them soon.
This is a tribute to the late Levi Stubbs. It's one of my favorite heartfelt songs. R.I.P. Levi Stubbs, Obie Benson, and Lawrence Payton. Abdul "Duke" Fakir, who sings first tenor, is the only surviving original member of the group.
They are my favorite bring back memories my husband and I were our favorite he has passed but when I hear them it always bring tears to my eyes because I always I think of him and where we when we would here them sing
I remember recording this song on my mini-tape recorder after waiting until the end credits of Alien Nation. I loved this song so much. I loved that move more because of this song. This song inspired me through some dark moments of my childhood and brings me great joy to hear to this day.
Wundervoll! Da müssen Piraten weinen......wie schön war damals UNSERE Musik. Aber immer mehr junge Menschen....kommen zurück, hören unsere Musik. Es liegt an den Eltern, was sie vererben.......
This record has a message for all of humanity. The power of Love has the means and ways of letting go of concepts belief's opinions and judgemental. We are all living Souls.
Wow what an amazing song. I love The Four Tops so much Levi Stubbs voice was absolutely amazing. RIP Levi God bless you. Thankyou for the music. You may be gone but you will.never be forgotten you are an absolute Legend ❤❤❤❤❤❤😘
Probably the most "underrated" of all the legendary original Detroit Motown groups. Maybe they didn't sell as many records, or perform the choreography of the Temptations, but their "consistent" harmonious sound, drama-free longevity, and togetherness for sooooo many years, is what sets them apart from many other groups, and makes them "highly rated" in my book. May their legacy through their music live on
