First Listen: April Stubbs continues a family legacy

(October 27, 2024) April Stubbs comes from a great musical linage. Her father is Joseph Stubbs, who was a member of several groups, but most notably The Contours and The Originals. Her uncle is Levi Stubbs, lead singer for The Four Tops.

April Stubbs now seeks to make a name in her own right with the ballad “Please Don’t Ever Go Away (From Me). The tune is a ballad where she expresses her deep love and the desire to keep the most important person in her life a part of her life.

Although this may be the first time that April Stubbs has worked as the lead singer on a recording, she’s a seasoned songwriter, having the song’s “Hey There Love” and “Chasing” performed by other members of her talented family.

Now, it is her turn to shine, but Stubbs is always aware of the musical legacy that she has been bequeathed. Check out April Stubbs’ “Please Don’t Ever Go Away (From Me)” here.
