I remember Levi was interviewed on NPR?, perhaps 20 years ago, and he was asked if he had ever thought about being a solo artist, instead of being simply a member of a group. I can't remember his exact words...but it was something like, 'They are my brothers and the thought of leaving never entered my mind.'

I attended Levi Stubbs' funeral and I think it was Obie Benson's son who got up and spoke about what it was like to have a Four Top for a father and the other three Four Tops as "uncles". When the kids messed up, they'd get four times the scoldings and admonitions. But when the kids excelled, they'd have four times the praise showered on them.

I've ❤ed the Fours since the mid 60's, when an older brother played the 45, Reach Out, every morning before school for about 3 years. I've enjoyed music over the years and I categorize 'Bernedette' & 'Standing in the Shadows of Love' as an operatic aria in the vein of Puccini.

They've had background dancers before, on "Just Ask The Lonely". And they appeared to be all white girls. Pretty sure that Levi didn't appreciate that. He was quite defiant at times. ♊️ 🕊 🎶

If anything it was probably easier to make money from music back in the 1960s, when people were still buying millions of records every week. Most musicians aren't exactly getting rich today, when Spotify or KZfaq gives them some tiny fraction of a cent every time their song is streamed, but they keep making music anyway. If your goal is just to make money, being a musician today is not a good strategy.

The four most classy, artistically sound quartet in the history of music... No one Top was better than the other. IMO Levi was the man, his passion, singing, set the tone for a great performance. Performed 40 years together which is a rarity until LP (Lawrence Peyton) died in 1997, Obie would follow a few years later and Levi's velvet smooth voice silenced forever in 2008. God blessed each of the guys with a gift and they gave that gift back to millions of fans.

June 19, 1965 - The Four Tops went to No.1 on the US singles chart with “I Can't Help Myself”. Lead singer Levi Stubbs had not been satisfied with the recording session and was promised that he could do it again the following day, but no other session ever took place. The track that became a hit was just the second take of the song.
