I'm watching the 'Little Shop of Horrors' with my children and we were curious as to who the voice of Audrey II, the man-eating plant was. Google remains a dear friend and within seconds we had the answer - none other than Levi Stubbs. It lead to a conversation about the Motown, the Four Tops, the link with the Lockerbie bombing (very chilling, I recommend looking it up) and how the English took Motown and created Northern Soul. Levi Stubbs is a great name and the man wore the name very well. He had, without doubt, one of the most distinctive voices in pop and could carry a note to places others can only see on a map. Here he is at his prime with the Four Tops.
