Levi Stubbs (June 6, 1936 October 17, 2008)
Levi Stubbles was the lead vocalist of The Four Tops and cousin of soul singer Jackie Wilson. He began his career in 1954 with the Four Aims. Two years later, the group changed their name to the Four Tops and the rest is well documented music history. Stubbs and the original Four Tops remained a team until Lawrence Payton died in 1997, at which point Theo Peoples took his place. In 1995, Stubbs was diagnosed with cancer, and later, a stroke, and stopped touring. Since 2000, Theo Peoples has taken Stubbs' place as the lead singer of the Four Tops, with Ronnie McNeir taking the place that Payton originally held.
Stubbs was a baritone, but most of the Four Tops' hits were written for him in the tenor range to give the lead vocals a sense of urgency and pleading. The Four Tops were elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
