The song's title refers to The Four Tops lead singer Levi Stubbs, whose music remains a source of comfort to the protagonist through years of abandonment, injury, and domestic violence.[2] A guitar riff from the song was sampled by Norman Cook and featured in his 1989 song "Won't Talk About It", also featuring Billy Bragg on "falsetto soul" vocals. When Cook formed Beats International they released their own hit version of the song in 1990. In 2014, NME ranked it at number 207 in their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[3] Track listingAll tracks composed by Billy Bragg; except where indicated
