If you spent your teenage years hanging out at roller skating rinks in the late '80s, you KNOW this song was guaranteed to come on.
The second that beat hit, you knew exactly what time it was.

Remembering
Levi Stubbs was an American baritone singer, widely known as the lead vocalist of the R&B group the Four Tops, that released a variety of Motown hit records during the 1960s and 1970s. He was noted for his powerful, emotional, and dramatic singing style. In 1990, Stubbs was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Four Tops.
Stubbs was also a voice artist in film and television, and provided the voice of "Audrey II", the alien plant in the 1986 musical horror comedy film Little Shop of Horrors (an adaption of the stage musical of the same name), as well as Mother Brain in the 1989 TV series Captain N: The Game Master. Stubbs was admired by his peers for his impressive vocal range and influenced many later pop and soul artists, such as Daryl Hall of Hall and Oates.
Stubbs was born and spent much of his life in Detroit, Michigan. He had five children with his wife Clineice Stubbs, to whom he was married for almost 50 years. His last performance was at the Four Tops' "50th Anniversary Concert" on July 28, 2004, at the Detroit Opera House.

🍔In October 1997, McDonald’s introduced the Big N’ Tasty, its answer to Burger King’s Whopper. The quarter-pound burger featured lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup and mayo on a sesame seed bun, originally priced at just 99¢.
It proved popular enough to expand nationwide by 2000 and later became a staple of McDonald’s Dollar Menu
Dear Lord,
Today, keep me grateful in every season, faithful when life gets difficult, confident when circumstances change, steady when plans fall apart, thankful when things go my way and trusting when they don’t. Let my praise outlast my problems, my faith survive every storm and my life reflect just how good You’ve been to me. In Jesus’ name, amen🙏🏽
