The Four Tops are an American Motown musical quartet, whose repertoire has included doo-wop, jazz, soul music, rnb, disco, adult contemporary, showtunes, and even psychedelic rock. Founded in Detroit, Michigan as The Four Aims, lead singer Levi Stubbs and group mates Abdul “Duke” Fakir, Renaldo “Obie” Benson, and Lawrence Payton remained together for over four decades, finally forced to endure a lineup change when Payton died in 1997. At that time, Theo Peoples was added to the lineup; Peoples later replaced Stubbs, who fell ill from cancer, and Ronnie McNeir assumed Peoples’ spot. In July, 2005, Benson died of lung cancer with Payton’s son Roquel replacing him. And as of April, 2005, Fakir, McNeir, Payton and Peoples still perform together as The Four Tops. The legendary Levi Stubbs sadly passed away in 2008.
Listen to the Lost and Found “Lost Without You” album tracks to hear Levi Stubbs at his very best.
Fatherless Son-Old Fashioned Man-Magic Mary-If You Dont Want My Love-Woman Woman and more…
Among a number of groups who helped define the Motown Sound of the 1960s, including The Miracles, The Marvelettes, The Temptations and The Supremes, The Four Tops were notable for having Stubbs, a baritone, as their lead singer; most groups of the time were fronted by a tenor. The group was the main male vocal group for the songwriting and production team of Holland-Dozier-Holland, who crafted for the group a stream of popular hit singles, including two #1 hits: “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)” and “Reach Out I’ll Be There”. After Holland-Dozier-Holland left Motown in 1967, the Four Tops were assigned to a number of producers, primarily Frank Wilson.

Four Tops are the best group in soul music. RIP Levi Stubbs, Renaldo Obie Benson, Lawrence Payton. Long Live Abdul Duke Fakir, Theo Peoples, Ronnie Mc neir and Roquel Payton.

LarkCGN is right - The Four Tops were great, but the studio versions are the ones to listen to. Please give us the originals.
