The Four Tops
The Four Tops are a U.S. male soul vocal quartet formed in 1953 in Detroit, originally known as The Four Aims. They made their recording debut in 1955, backing Carolyn Hayes on her single "Baby Say You Love Me / Really." The original members—Lawrence Payton, Levi Stubbs, Renaldo "Obie" Benson, and Abdul "Duke" Fakir—remained together for over four decades until 1997 without a change in personnel. In the 1960s, they became the main male vocal group for a prominent songwriting and production team. After a key departure in 1967, the Four Tops worked with several producers and continued to release charting singles into the late 1970s. Since the 1980s, they have recorded with various labels. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Over the years, new members such as Theo Peoples, Ronnie McNeir, and Roquel Payton have joined the lineup.
