10/17 - Levi Stubbs
Stubbs (second from left and the frontman for the American pop group The Four Tops) died at his home in Detroit. He was 72. In this 1966 file photo are the Four Tops members: Abdul Fakir, Stubbs, Lawrence Payton, and Renaldo Benson. With Stubbs in the lead, the Four Tops sold millions of records, including such hits as "Baby I Need Your Loving," "Reach Out (I'll Be There)" and "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)."

Man... played a part in a commercial for the Four Tops when I was a kid, can't remember which one I had to pretend to be but I remember doing that tune, Sugar Pie Honey Bunch. |

That's so sad. RIP your friend - I know he's now at peace.
I can kinda relate though, 'cos I'm always at my most down at this time of year. If I didn't have my kids who knows?
Right now I'm making some MAJOR decisions about 2009, and some people play no part. I'm scared, but need to do this for my own sanity.
