I am sorry to say that YouTube removed the VIDEO I had up here for the last few hours. It was Levi Stubbs as lead singer for THE FOUR TOPS and the tune was "Baby, I Need Your Lovin'" Who knows what the removal's about. I can't find other Four Tops videos right now.....sorry! I tried. But, I will not remove the post...
I'll just reiterate my sentiment of what a HUGE, ENORMOUS fan of The Four Tops I was, still am, and how sad I am to hear he passed at only 72 years old.
Thanks for MANY, MANY great hours of fantastic music, Mr. Stubbs...part of the soundtrack of most of our lives. We owe you a lot. Rest in peace.

Great Z, can't get too much of that. And, goodbye Mr. Stubbs, RIP.
Your music lives on.

The world just got heavier.
He was one of the best!
Good post Z
The Four Tops - great group.
At least Mr. Stubbs led a long life. So many of these classic rockers didn't live very long.
Age seventy-two! That's much too young these days.
I'm sorry I never heard of this group, but I'm sure they had something good to offer, or you wouldn't have like them so much.
Hate to say it, but if the Democrats get wind of this, you KNOW what they'll do, don't you?
They'll say it's a grim reminder of that John McCain is too old to be president.
If the Democrats can successfully blame a WEATHER EVENT on George W. Bush, they are capable of ANYTHING.

I loved that song...darn, another classic lost.
MoTown had the sound!
Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!

He was one of my childhood favorites.
They don't make them like that any longer.
I always liked the four tops too, sigh...
RIP Mr. Stubbs
Best tribute was Billy Bragg's "Levi Stubbs Tears". Good song.
You Tube has been pulling videos left and right lately. There was a funny one with William Shatner in it that I saw on "Charming Just Charming" but within a few hours it had been pulled.
The google list for "YouTube Levi Stubbs Baby ...." There are many videos of it there, apparently. The first one is labeled "spam." Maybe it was pulled because somebody falsely labeled it? Anyway, it seems to still be there, or some version of it is anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HQEhuylZmg
(Yes, the song is also part of my growing up but I never paid much attention to pop music even though it was part of the atmosphere.)
yeah!! I loved the 4 Tops too!!
I think you tube is having problems, for some reason.
Thank you, Z. I remember the 4 Tops, & how even then as a lad I thought they were really a class act for the pop scene. Notice how clean cut they were. A breath of fresh air. May the Lord bless you.
