What a brilliant and rightfully respectful thread dedicated to one of the greatest singers of all time, Levi Stubbs. A voice of operatic emotional and dramatic power and a person of true character and professionalism. It was Levi's voice that cut through to me as a child in the 1960s, increasingly absorbed in the popular music of the time. Reach Out really did that - it reached out and found me, and the album of the same name became a fixture on my tinny record player. Each song, interpreted by this great singer and his group created a vivid glimpse of the adult world and its passion and pain. It changed my life and shaped my musical tastes to this day. RIP Levi Stubbs.
