RIP; also voice of Audrey II in 1986 version of Little Shop of Horrors. “I’m just a mean green mother from outer space and I’m bad...”

Levi Stubbs as good as ever...maybe better. Sad to hear the news of his passing. Prayers for his loved ones.

I saw The Four Tops in concert in the early 1990's.

The Four Tops should have been named Levi Stubbs and friends. Levi was the whole show.

I really enjoyed that concert. RIP, Levi.

Prayers to his family. I’m saddened to hear this. My favorite Four Tops song is Seven Room of Gloom. So melodramatic and Gothic. Love it.

My favorite record by the Four Tops is “Could it be You?” (Chess #1623, 1956)—the first disc they waxed under that name.

I love the Tops. Much better than the Temptations, in my opinion.
