The Four Tops碩果僅存一團員

10月18日,已故的Four Tops合唱團團員Renaldo "Obie" Benson的女兒,在密西根州的維恩郡告惟一尚存的Four Tops團員Duke Fakir,她認為Duke沒有盡力去收回該給[Four Tops, LLC] 公司的25,000美元賬款,希望公司能解決。
The Four Tops與The Supremes、The Temptations、The Miracles是Motown唱片公司這個黑人靈魂歌曲大本營的四大合唱團,也是歷年暢銷歌星與合唱團排行榜第54名的名團,主唱Levi Stubbs 2008/10/17去世(72歲),團員Lawrence Payton 1997/06/20去世(59歲),團員Renaldo "Obie" Benson則於2005/07/01去世(68歲),所以Duke Fakir是Four Tops目前僅存的團員。這個合唱團有二首都獲二週排行榜冠軍的歌曲:1965年的I Can’t Help Myself與1966年的Reach Out I’ll Be There,後者在滾石雜誌500大歌曲榜獲206名,也收進搖滾樂名人堂中,是他們最有名的歌 。
Reach Out (I'll Be There)
The Four Tops

Now if you feel that you can't go on (can't go on)
Because all of your hope is gone (all your hope is gone)
And your life is filled with much confusion (much confusion)
Until happiness is just an illusion (happiness is just an illusion)
And your world around is crumbling down,
darlin reach out come on girl reach on out for mereach out reach out for me
I'll be there with a love that will shelter you
I'll be there with a love that will see you through
When you feel lost and about to give up (to give up)
Cause your life just ain't good enough (just ain't good enough)
And your feel the world has grown cold (has grown cold)
And your drifting out all on your own (drifting out on your own)
And you need a hand to hold,
darlinreach out come on girl reach out for mereach out reach out for me
I'll be there to love and comfort you
And I'll be there to cherish and care for you
I'll be there to always see you through
I'll be there to love and comfort you
I can tell the way you hang your head (hang your head)
Your not in love now, now your afraid
(you're afraid)
And through the tears you look around
(look around)But there's no piece of mind to be found
(no piece of mind to befound)
I know what your thinking,
You're alone now, no love of your own, but darlingreach out come on girl reach out for mereach out reach out.......... just look over your shoulder
I'll be there to give you all the love you need
And I'll be there you can always depend on meI'll be there to always see you through
I'll be there to love and comfort you
