Coincidentally, was listening to a few 45's on headphones this afternoon to save over indulging neighbours,and I can assure you, Levi Stubbs will always be the Dogz, Gone yet still Immortal .....sorry to diversify....just becomes almost personal on headphones...".do what you gotta do":lol: :hatsoff2:

Lawrence Peyton also sings lead on several early Four Tops Motown sides - he often sings the verse, while Levi steams in for the chorus.

For example he's the main lead on 'Left With A Broken Heart'' from the group's first album ,and 'Love Feels Like Fire' from the second.

He actually sounds like Levi so it isn't immediately apparent that he's singing, rather than Mr. Stubbs.

The greatest male voice of Motown!!!

Baby I need your loving!

'Tell me you love me' from 'Meeting of the minds' was released on 45 under the name 'Lawrence Payton' rather than the Four Tops for some reason

There is a very strong similarity between the voices of LS and LP , but both are easily definable .

Levi Stubbs was undoubtedly one of the best Male singers at Motown. A record that for me epitomises Levi the best is the B side to "Ask the lonely", the sublime "Where did you go".

A voice made in heaven and now in heaven along with Marvin, Jackie, Norman, Darrell and all the other greats of our scene.
