The Four Tops are an American vocal quartet formed in Detroit, Michigan, in 1953. The group's original lineup consisted of Levi Stubbs, Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Renaldo "Obie" Benson, and Lawrence Payton. Over the years, the lineup changed, with Fakir being the only consistent member.
The Four Tops are best known for their Motown hits, including "Baby I Need Your Loving," "Reach Out I'll Be There," "Standing in the Shadows of Love," and "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)." They were one of the most successful acts of the 1960s and 1970s, with a string of hits and a unique blend of R&B, pop, and soul.
Despite the passing of original members, The Four Tops have continued to perform, with Fakir leading the group. They have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and have received numerous honors for their contributions to music.
