Aretha Franklin And Levi Stubbs,I Want To Be With You

[@jettyoeill]

You're right, Levi was a beautiful man. He did a lot of voice work without the other 3 tops. Yet, he insisted his entire career that his pay and royalties be split 4 ways. What a man!

[@sharonsimmons1325]

Beautiful showman ship four tops Aretha Stevie wonder. Beautiful to see💜💜 Much love I.

Ain't no body in this world sung like Levi. He might not be on earth anymore, but his music and memory are both eternal.

[@AntonioJLee]

Aretha loved her some male vocalist!!!! Men moved her soul 😂!

[@sooz9433]

Two of the most Magnificent voices of our lifetime... singing in Heaven now.

[@mrstanfordwhite]

what a pleasure. Aretha plays piano and theyre just playing around beautifully. Notice the other three tops just swaying together naturally? Its all so sweet.

[@richardhall4537]

Wow!, Two Iconic Talents. Aretha and The Tops. It simply doesn’t get any better. Never will.

[@angieoconnor7482]

That's one thing I love about this group - they loved him so much they never showed or pushed for lead singer and Levi never put himself out there as lead singer. As he said "we come as a package " Beautiful Soul.

Levi loved Aretha and the feeling was surely mutual as we can all see here.

It don't get no better. Who else sounds that good live? Nobody

Miss the FourTops and all music from this era. music like this will not repeat and can't be copied. Never! I am so happy for youtube.

THEY SOUND SO AWESOME TOGETHER!!! LOVELY!! 2020 STILL LISTENING!!!

[@brendakb3796]

This is such a beautiful duet. I think Levi had some serious feelings for Aretha. Not saying they were acted on. I wish this was a ringtone. I would definitely have it. Love love love!!!!

[@campbell3187]

I absolutely agree. There’s definitely chemistry there between Levi and Ms Aretha. I believe they probably liked each other a lot more than just friends but Levi being married kept them from being together in that way. They always sounded so beautiful singing together.

SPLENDID, IN SPLENDOR! RAW, UNADULTERATED IMPROVISATION! AND TO HAVE A WOMAN LEAD THE TOP VOCAL GROUP ON PLANET EARTH!!!

[@terryarnold9154]

Just a joy, oh the pleasure to be found in these beautiful voices. It is lovely to see Ree and the Tops in such a playful mode, but no matter what they do they just can't help but make beautiful music. The Tops are no longer with us and Aretha will be greatly missed too. The legacy left behind and the pleasure they will always bring will be incalculable. Thank you Aretha for this and so many other glorious moments.

[@anetterichard2389]

Duke is still with us.

[@wesgriffin6081]

WOW ! such a beautiful interaction between Aretha & Levi and the 4 Tops. First time for ME to see Aretha in an humble & flirty & school girlish type mood. It was nice to see her not in D-I-V-A mode for a change. I love the duet she and Smokey performed on Soul Train, too.

[@Bronxlady1]

Something about the way she sings...what a beauty

[@kayandaeddings4803]

I loved it when Aretha said he’s married. Which Levi was married until his death. He was married to the same individual for 48 years. How impressive. For some weird reason, I always thought that they was a couple until years ago I read about Levi. In fact, my grandmother had a massive crush on Levi may she rest in peace as well. However, Duke is still pushing on. Rest in peace to the three tops and Aretha Franklin. My favorite song that she recorded with the Four Tops was on the jump to it album back in 1982.
