Levi was one of my favorites. Got to see the Four Tops perform live in 1972 at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC. It was during the hippie times. They had every student; teachers; and security guards up dancing by the second song. No other R&B group could have accomplished that during that time period. God bless all of them !!!! Thanks for being there !!! Love those guys !!!!

Amazing, Teddy started out as their drummer ! Producers thought Harold Melvin (on the far right ) voice was too soft for the lead ! One day teddy was rehearsing drumming along with their records and singing along and producers realized he should be the lead singer and the rest is history .,
