LEVI STUBBS  6/6/36 – 9/17/08

Here are of 10 of the late Levi Stubbs’ best videos with the 4 Tops! He was a remarkable singer, but I don’t have to tell you that. If you grew up in the ’60s and ’70s you had to be living in a cave, not to have heard “Baby, I Need Your Lovin” or “(Sugar Pie Honey Bunch) I Can’t Help Myself”. I can go on and on…but videos are worth a thousand words!

Here’s Levi and the Four Tops and “Baby, I Need Your Lovin” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HQEhuylZmg
