The Four Tops (3/20)- The quartet’s first Motown hit, “Baby I Need Your Loving” in 1964, made them stars. Their songs, soulful and bittersweet, were across-the-board successes. “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),” a No. 1 R&B and Pop smash in 1965, is one of Motown’s longest-running chart toppers; it was quickly followed by a longtime favorite, “It’s The Same Old Song.” Their commercial peak was highlighted by a romantic trilogy: the “Reach Out I’ll Be There,” “Standing In The Shadows Of Love,” and “Bernadette”. In 1990, with 24 Top 40 pop hits, the Four Tops were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
