The Four Tops will be giving fans plenty of new projects — and possibly even new music — to reach out for in the near future.
The venerable troupe was formed during 1953 in Detroit and, starting 10 years later, became one of Motown’s most prolific hitmakers, with hits such as “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch),” “Reach Out I’ll Be There,” “It’s the Same Old Song,” “Bernadette” and more. It’s been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame.
The last of its original members, Abdul “Duke” Fakir, passed away during July of 2024, and since then the Four Tops front has been quiet save for continuing live performances by the current incarnation of the quartet — which includes founder’s son Lawrence Roquel Payton Jr. and longtime frontman Theo Peoples, a former Temptation.
