Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops died today at 72.
Looking over the Four Tops’ discography, I’m amazed at just how many great songs they have. For a 2-year span during college, not a day would go by in which I didn’t hear Reach Out (I’ll be There), Baby, I Need Your Loving, Bernadette, or Standing in the Shadows of Love on the radio of my beat-up Hyundai. My old pal Sascha would attest to this, if I weren’t posting about it during shabbat.
Yeah, I heard, and yeah, I listened. Still do.
