October 17th sees the fifth anniversary of the passing of Levi Stubbs. Not an anniversary to celebrate but just to make one think how time passes so quickly. For me, he was without doubt the greatest singer. I know everyone has a personal favourite, well he was mine. When you read, hear or talk to people who new Levi, they all say the same. He was a true proffessional, he was a man of dignity and he never claimed the limelight for himself, it always was as the song title went " The Four Of Us "
I was due to meet him shortly before he pased away, but on the day he was really poorly so with respect things never materialised. Whatever the mood may be, put on a Four Tops record and that mood will certainly go up to another level.
I will be playing a special tribute to Levi Stubbs/Four Tops at Broughton Wings in Chester on October 19th and just remembering what great songs that he gave us. I would love to know some of your favourites.
Here are my Top Six
