Motown was back in Detroit to lay to rest Levi Stubbs. Stubbs was one of the founding members of The Four Tops. The who's who of Motown came to say farewell. The attendees included songwriter/producers Eddie and Brian Holland, Kim Weston, members of the Spinners, Contours, Andantes, Velvelettes, Funk Brothers drummer Uriel Jones, Geno Washington, Sir Mack Rice, Motown etiquette coach Maxine Powell, longtime Four Tops attorney Judy Tint and Harry Weinger, who oversees Motown archival releases for the Universal Music Group. Aretha Franklin, a close friend of Stubbs, was in New York appearing on "The View" Monday but was among those who sent flowers for the funeral.
Stubbs was buried at nearby Woodlawn Ceremony.
