Although Levi hasn't sung with the group for quite awhile due to his illness, he was one of a kind and he will certainly be missed

Rest in Peace Mr. Stubs.

Yes he was.

RIP brother. Some of your songs still bring tears to my eyes.
And those songs will live forever.

And on the lighter side of his career, don't forget the great use of his voice in the Little Shop Of Horrors movie.

I had the great pleasure to see him perform on three diffrerent occasions with the Four Tops. He was wonderful with the crowd--a truly great front man--and had one of my five favorite male singing voices of all time.

I remember him sayiing that his favorite song to sing was "Just Ask The Lonely" because of the emotion it conveyed. No one conveyed it better.

Levi, please tell Brother Jamerson how much you are both missed and tell HIM we're glad you were both here.

Someday you will hear an old Jackson 5 song on the radio, "I'll Be There". Probably one of Michael Jackson's finest vocal moments.

And when you hear him say "Just look over your shoulder..." you will remember where that came from.

It's the same old song, but with a different meaning since you've been gone.

RIP my main man.
