It's been a tough year for Motown fans. We lost Norman Whitfield a while back and today comes word that one of the greatest voices from Motown's glory days, Levi Stubbs, has died. The Tops weren't as consistent as the Temptations, as innovative as Smokey Robinson or as touched by genius as Marvin Gaye or Stevie Wonder. But when they hit a song on the nose, they were awesome.
And never more awesome than in this smash from 1966, one of my all-time favorite songs.
Rest in peace, Levi.
