Just heard on the radio that the very wonderful Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops has passed away.
[news.bbc.co.uk]
I'm going away now to listen to "Reach Out"
and leave you with Billy Bragg's tribute:
R.I.P. Levi and thanks
"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

The Four Tops were truly one of the greatest Motown Acts.
So glad, that I've seen them in 1989 in their orginal line-up: Abdul Fakir + Levi Stubbs + Renaldo Benson († 2005) + Lawrence Payton († 1997) in a great concert show.
RIP Levi Stubbs

The headline re Levi Stubbs made me so sad I couldn't read the obituary.
I will always remember on my first trip to London where I read an article by my friend Penny Valentine, a great writer on the music scene, extolling the virtues of Stubbs.
I knew that I loved the best of the Motown Sound but I didn't know how important it was then. Penny made it crystal clear.
