Together since 1956, The Four Tops hail as one of Motown’s most consistent hit-makers and longest-lived original lineups. The Four Tops began their hit streak with “Baby I Need Your Loving” in 1964 and over the next eight years they made almost 30 appearances on the charts. The group’s 1965 hits included “Ask the Lonely,” “Same Old Song,” and “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),” which climbed to #1. “Reach Out I’ll Be There” hit the top of the pop chart in October 1966 and the quartet followed up with “Standing in the Shadows of Love” in 1967.
The group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. Original member Duke Fakir accepted the 2009 Lifetime Achievement award from the Grammy® Foundation on behalf of The Four Tops.
