The Temptations’ music, then and now, continues to raise the spirit of the country and uplift a nation searching for common bonds and glimmers of hope and humanity.
The Four Tops, originally called the Four Aims, are an American vocal quartet from Detroit who helped to define the city's Motown sound of the 1960s. Their songs, soulful and bittersweet, were across-the-board successes. Those hits include “Baby I Need Your Loving” “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)”, “It’s The Same Old Song”, “Reach Out I’ll Be There,” “Standing In The Shadows Of Love”, “Bernadette”, “Ain’t No Woman (Like The One I’ve Got)”, “When She Was My Girl” and their final solo Top 40 hit, “Indestructible,” which was the theme of the 1988 Summer Olympics.
In 1990, with 24 Top 40 pop hits to their credit, the Four Tops were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Though they would no longer have hits on record, the group continued to be a hit in concert, touring incessantly, a towering testament to the enduring legacy of the Motown Sound they helped shape and define.
