LEVI STUBBS JNR..

June 6, 1936 - October 17, 2008
R.I.P.

Earlier this afternoon I received the email that I have dreaded for so long, as soon as I saw the headline. my heart stopped, the tears rolled and then flowed, LEVI STUBBS JNR the Lead Singer of THE FOUR TOPS had sadly passed away.

The Four Tops was the first single I bought at 12 and then the first live concert I went to on my own at 14. The dynamic voice of LEVI had me in his hands from that moment, never did I imagine that I would get to interview him and The Four Tops many times and come to think of him as a Friend and like a second Father Figure, Levi inspired me and gave me such inspiration.
Levi first suffered from prostrate cancer which he fought and then a stoke, he last performed with The Four Tops in 2000, but he still regularly attended concerts to watch the current line up. A few years back I was invited to go over and visit Levi, it saddens me that that my health stopped me going to see him.

Classic songs like "Ask The Lonely" my all time favourite, "Reach Out" and "Baby I Need Your Loving" have been a part of my life, when I became a radio DJ it was a pleasure to play the music that had brought me so much Joy! - I can never thank you enough LEVI, no one can take away the Memories you have given me, I will miss You so much!

My Prayers and Thoughts are with Levi's Dear Wife Clineice, their five children and all the Family.

LEVI I WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH - MAY YOU BE IN HEAVEN THIS NIGHT!
