Levi had the offer to play the part Billy dee Williams played in Lady sings the blues with Diana Ross. When he found out the rest of the guys weren't included he walked out and he and his wife flew home from Los Angeles. Now that IS A MAN COMMITTED . ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL. GOD BLESS THE MANS SOUL.

Best Motown group, Mr.Stubbs was and mans man! Stayed with his wife all this years and never left his mates to go solo. RIP guys, Thank you for your music!!!

I cry my eyes out through the whole thing. I'm an old drummer, backed the tops up at the 72 jazz festival in Cincinnati. They we're god givin sweethearts. God bless their souls. 👍🙏

His easy smile and personality was so wonderful. Like I say, I noticed it as a kid. You could tell that he loved the fans and was a nice person too. I also noticed how handsome he was as I got older and even when he got older too, a REAL fox 😍😍 I miss them as the "original" Four Tops, although Duke's keeping things alive with the group into his 80's. WOW. Best EVER. THE FOUR TOPS. I wished I had the opportunity to see them live, but I never did 😪😪😪 But they'll always be in my heart, soul and part of my LIFE.

These guys performed awesome shows. The reality of it is the entertainment industry is living a hard life. These guys worked long hours, lost sleep, on their feet constantly, wardrobe changes, tempted by alcohol and substances, etc. Looking back, I wish there was "health secretaries, assistants" that would keep a record of entertainers health checkups and then make appointments for their checkups. We now know how important "gut health" and "prostate health" Both of these issues will take you out fast if you don't have checkups. Also the " silent killer" is high blood pressure because people sometimes don't know they have it. RIP Kings.

I'm back for more!!!oh the warm fuzzies!!!

I worked for the talent buyer ( Dick Lane ) who booked most of the talent for the Vegas casinos. All except for Duke were smokers. Mr. Stubbs did heavy voice overs for several different cartoons and commercials and he had to travel to and from home in Detroit to Burbank for the sound work often. Mr. Payton had lung cancer while doing this show, died 12 months later. Mr. Stubbs quit very lucrative voice overs and underwent vocal rehab and got his blood pressure under control. A 2002 concert saw a new Levi Stubbs! Powerful vocals and trimmed down! Talent buyers were calling to buy shows again! I saw the show at the Music Conservancy. It was simply a mind blowing event! The fee went back up to $88.000 plus rider at long last but as all groups with a 4 way cut , that paycheck is cut four ways! Mr. Stubbs was offered millions to go on his own but this group was thicker than thieves!

Wow. I loved it..levi was entertaining in every way. All the Tops together the bomb....

Real Talent Real professionals real love in every note of every song

What an epic performance from my all time favourite Motown group, unlike others they stayed true to each other, missed these guys so much, Levi's voice will live on forever RIP you three guys, Abdul's still there keeping the memories alive.

Linda, I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that Lawrence did a few shows after this one. I do remember going back to Vegas a few months later for a couple weeks and Lawrence had passed. This band and all the origianl Tops had a beautiful comraderie and loved working together. We did go to England on a Christmas tour a few months after this, as well, but that included the Tops, The Tempts, Billy Preston, Mary Wilson, et al. The Horn Section got to ride in Mary Wilson's bus for that whole Christmas 1996 England tour. What a genuine sweetheart she is!

Even though u can still see the 4 tops,these are the real thing. Levi could have gone solo any time ,but true friends stay loyal.cash cam second to friendship,for this true star.

10 yrs. ago today (10/17/2018) Levi passed on we will never forget you. RIP.

One of the nicest groups of guys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I got a hook up at a concert I went too and just before they went o stage I had a very quick meet and greet. I very thankful for that chance encounter. And they sounded amazing on stage.

In the still of the night----just lovely. Great group.
