A great showman and a dynamic singer. He had the kind of voice that always left you wanting to hear more. How blessed we were to have him in our lifetime.
Levi Stubbs and David Ruffin were the 2 Greatest Black Male Singers to ever do it professionally. I can't say who was best, because some days I need to hear some Levi music, then I need to hear some David Ruffin. But I will say this, Levi's voice and singing was virtually flawless. His singing was exquisite!!!
Levi Stubb had one of the most beautiful and soulful voice on this planet . He could sing the alphabets and it would sound great. He could have left the and go solo but he didn't. He choose to be with his brothers of music and his life long friend. What a humble man who was a king in his own right. I still hearing you sing live but thank God we have RU-vid to listen and see you perform. Rest In Peace.
Levi ...to be absent from the body is present with the LORD 🙏....words from your awesome songs will forever live in the hearts 💕 of millions... your are one of God's Singing Angel...
Profiles in Pittsburgh 😚 This was a beautiful song sung at his funeral. I need You Now. He was such a beautiful man vocalist husband father and friend. He was all our brother and we miss him today. Sister Nora Rose Parker Carter 😚🎶🙂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Levi, was and will always be a national treasure and provided 1 of the greatest soundtracks of my life, growing up. ♥ Forever, legendary 💖! R.I. P, Levi, 1 in a million ♥.
You should read about the four tops autobiography, there was never no replacements in the group, there never was competition and jealousy, no inner fighting, Hollywood and other music companies made several attempts to steel Levi from the group and each time he told them no, I'm a singer for the 4 tops, he did voice makeovers on movie's and that was it, I stand corrected, replacements were only made after each member died, and they were very upset when Berry Gordy picked up and moved Motown to California, they all remained in Detroit.
Such a talented man, will always cherish the beautiful, soulful music he made. I'm sure it was very hard for Duke to lose all his brothers, they were truly wonderful. 😞
RIP Mr. Levi I'll always treasure and listen to your beautiful voice. You proved to be a success you didn't have to leave your group and I loved and respected you even more it.
O Levi! My favourite vocalist ever..he will always be in my heart..I play The Four Tops daily..here in Liverpool but wishing I had seen him in USA. Thank God for videos and cds. Rest in peace Levi xx
THE MASTER FRONTMEN FROM THE DEEP SOUL DEPTHS , THE TOPS WERE SPINNING HIT AFTER HIT !!!! THANK - U FOR SHARING YOU MUSICAL GIFTS WITH THE WORLD OVER , " STILL WATERS RUN DEEP " MAY GOD REST THEIR ETERNAL SOULS IN HEAVEN !!!!
I just stumbled across this just now and so appropriate for this young man sing this song.. I remember 1964 we would always visit my Aunt Lils in Hot Springs, Arkansas and in her back room a small den.. And she placed a record player in there where the young teenagers would gather. I first heard all the Supreme songs but will the Four Tops were being played it caught my ear. That husky voice and the background singers with perfect harmony, I thought I can identify with this.. And I listened intently and at this age is when I identified with being black and proud.. I looked at the record spinning around Hitsville? Where is that? Found that it was Motown? So I studied them and found out that I could sing along.. But it started for Mr Levi Stubbs, then David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, and then Marvin Gaye. Long as this music was created you never get tired of hearing them one more time… thanks black music industry for keeping through all these turbulent times.. LB September 2021
You know I love all 4 of you men.You love and stayed with your beautiful Black Queens and I will always remember you 4 handsome men for that special thing. You did what God ask you to do in your marriage.No Divorce! 👑🌹👑🌹👑🌹👑🌹

Greatnessville USA 🇺🇸 By Deepy Part One June 6, 2021 5:29 on the great baritone voice’s PM side! *T.F.T.R.I.S.E.!!! Like the song he sang, He didn’t mind standing, In the shadow of ❤️, Singing loyally with his Four Toppers, As hand and glove! Rare was he indeed, He policed his ego, To take the back seat, Yet shining musically with his, Unique glow, Which can’t be beat! His voice and song still lives in our ❤️s, Even this very day, Singing to US, “I Believe In You”, Come what may! On this day he came into this world, To with his voice bless, Man, woman, boy and girl! Thanks Bro Sir Elder Levi Stubbs, For planting your angelic voice into, Our ❤️s for so many faithful years from your, Musical skies of blue! May others rise up, To take, Your legacy to the next level, With excellence they wisely daily make! Yes, Levi was a wise, **great and sunny citizen, In Greatnessville, Singing with his regal voice, As the king of the hill! Selah. Peace. Blissfully Sugar Piefully We ❤️ You Today, James Lee Frazier, Jr. Proverbs 17:17 *THE FOUR TOPS RAISING INNER SUNNY ENERGIES! **PSALM 18:35
@@walterlew He just meant why hasn’t this video been viewed many times. Levi Stubbs, one of the greatest singers of a Motown group, funeral should’ve been looked at more than it is now.
One thing is for certain, you may get anyone who you may think sounds like Levi Stubbs, but truth of matter is, No one & I do mean No one will ever fill Levi Stubbs Shoes, he was a world class act, not 2 mention a world class gentleman. He truly had the voice of an Angel, he truly was the black Frank Sinatra, I truly loved him so much, I loved the whole group, they loved each other so much, that was so very clear to all of the naked eye 2 see.... Mr Levi Stubbs you will truly be missed, I love you, I loved your beautiful voice. RIP in peace ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️❤❤❤❤love a true fan Dee
@@ericmoore8762 New York born & raised its kind of warm here, but I have family lives in CA, San Clemente but they are looking to make big move to Oregon they have property, you seem like a really nice person, you have a great evening, & be safe....❤🙋♀️👍 Dee
I feel he was never given his true blessing to this world. Aretha Franklin got a Royalty send off WHY? Levi was in my opinion one of the greatest vocalist in Soul, Motown, Gospel and Cross Over. Love you Levi see you on the other side for a duet xx
The walking around while he's singing is so disrespectful. I'm talking about the choir members .they should already been in place. It takes away from his performance I think just my opinion
