One of my favourite groups in my teens along with Smokey Robinson and the Mracles and The Isley Bros.

great timbre!

 

[PaulB]

With the money from her accident
She bought herself a mobile home
So at least she could get some enjoyment
Out of being alone
No one could say that she was left up on the shelf
Its you and me against the world kid she mumbled to herself

Chorus:
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi Stubbs tears run down his face

She ran away from home in her mothers best coat
She was married before she was even entitled to vote
And her husband was one of those blokes
The sort that only laughs at his own jokes
The sort that war takes away
And when there wasnt a war he left her anyway

Chorus

Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong
Are here to make right everything that's wrong
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
Are here to make it all okay with you

One dark night he came home from the city
And put a hole in her body where no hole should be
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
And though they stitched her back together they left her heart in pieces on the floor

When the world falls apart some things stay in place
She takes off the Four Tops tape, and puts it back in its case
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi Stubbs' tears...

 

[Mr Phoebus]

Levi Stubbs his toe kicking the bucket.

 

[Fab Foodie]

The heavenly choir is one mighty voice stronger tonight.
RIP

 

[Lardyboy]

R.I.P. Levi.

Tears Are Not Enough.

 

[Fnaar]

Chorus:
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi Stubbs tears run down his face

In a freaky coincidence kind of way, I put this (and some other Billy Bragg tracks) on my mp3 player only last Wednesday!

Your own mortality is highlighted by the loss of one of music's icons.
