For over forty years, the Four Tops have been singing songs about love, romantic heartbreak, and happiness, in the best of the Motown tradition.

By the time the group the Aims, as they were originally called, changed their name to the Four Tops, the band had caught the attention of Berry Gordy with Motown Records, and their career was launched. "Baby, I Need Your Loving," the Four Tops's first single, shot to the top of the charts, and it wasn't long before they were touring with other Motown artists, such as The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, and Stevie Wonder.

Since the late 1980's, the Four Tops have focused mainly on touring and live performances. In 1997, the Four Tops lost Lawrence Payton to cancer, and the remaining members continued to tour as a trio, calling themselves the Tops. Theo Peoples, formerly of The Temptations, was brought in to replace Payton in 1998, and the Four Tops performed on a number of television specials during this period, including Motown 45.

In addition to music, Four Tops' member Levi Stubbs is featured as the voice for Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors in 1986. He was also the voice of Mother Brain on the cartoon Captain N: The Game Master, from 1989 to 1991. The Four Tops as a group also performed in the 1982 film Grease 2.

In total, The Four Tops have recorded thirty-five albums during their career, and have enjoyed an impressive list of Top Ten hits, many of them number one hits or gold records - "Baby, I Need Your Loving," "I Can't Help Myself (Sugarpie, Honeybunch)," "It's the Same Old Song," "Reach Out (I'll Be There)," "Bernadette," "Walk Away, Rene," "Standing in the Shadows of Love," "Shake Me, Wake Me," and "Still Waters Run Deep."

The Four Tops was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. Rolling Stone ranked the Four Tops as one of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time in 2004.

The Four Tops continues to tour, record and set their sights on new professional goals.
