I know I don't write rec'd diaries. I am from another generation. Well, I'll make this short and sweet. The most powerful voice I ever heard sing a song died. His name was Levi Stubbs.
He was my age. Now, most people won't give a rats ass. I don't care. I'm going to write a diary and post my favorite song he sang with his Tops. I am mourning one of the greatest voices I ever heard. Holland Dozier Holland wrote for him, Smokey wrote a few songs for him, but he had a voice that transcended all.
RIP Levi.
