Profile

The Four Tops


The Four Tops are a vocal quartet, whose repertoire has included doo-wop, jazz, soul music, R&B, disco, adult contemporary, and showtunes.

Founded in Detroit, Michigan as The Four Aims, lead singer Levi Stubbs (a cousin of Jackie Wilson and brother of The Falcons' Joe Stubbs), and groupmates Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Renaldo "Obie" Benson and Lawrence Payton remained together for over four decades, having gone from 1953 until 1997 without a single change in personnel.

A change of line-up was finally forced upon the group when Lawrence Payton died on June 20, 1997. As of 2006, Fakir, McNeir, Payton, and Peoples were still performing together as The Four Tops. Levi Stubbs died on October 17, 2008. Fakir is now the only surviving founding member of the group.

The Four Tops in it's present form maintains a busy tour schedule that includes Atlantic City.
