What a week, four people have died.

This is so sad!

Wow! You got another double dose of R&B legends that are dying. Luther Vandross and then Obie Benson of the Four Tops. Both of them will be missed. RIP to both singers.

Obie!
With Levi Stubbs in poor health, it is possible that three of the Four Tops would have passed away.

RIP to Obie. Levi looks very bad. I don't think he's gonna live too much longer either. Is it just me or does The Four Tops It's The Same Old Song & I Can't Help Myself songs sound alike?

Nope, it's not you. That's why I don't care for "...Same Old Song".
