The Great Levi Stubbles (given name) helped vault R&B imprint Motown to every turntable in America. Today the Four Tops frontman died at the age of 72.
Tell me you cant hear these playing in your head as you read: "Baby I Need Your Loving", "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)", "It's the Same Old Song", "Reach Out I'll Be There", "Standing in the Shadows of Love" and "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got)".
Smile-inducing fun fact: Stubbs was the voice of carnivorous space plant Audrey II in the 1986 film version of "Little Shop of Horrors" (Feed Me Seymour!)
May Stubbs live on via reincarnation in the progeny of Dirtbombs frontman and D-townmate Mick Collins.

RIP: Star of the 4 Tops and "Little Shop'
