Four Tops
Comment:
Here's one way to make it into the Hall of Fame: get your group together in high school, then [i]stay[/i] together for more than 40 years without a single lineup change. Spend ten of those years fine-tuning your sound before you score even your first hit. Make sure that sound is something different, something edgy — smooth-as-silk harmonies, sure, but maybe you can make the baritone the lead; you know, the guy who sounds like he's spilling his guts every time he opens his mouth. Then, land a gig with one of the hottest new labels around — say, Motown — and wax life-changing soul-pop singles written by one of the finest teams in the business, Holland/Dozier/Holland. Finally, spend the better part of three decades on the charts, and you're there. Hey, it worked for the Four Tops, who were rightly named by [i]Rolling Stone[/i] magazine as among the "100 greatest artists of all time" — and who, with the passing of their voice, the legendary Levi Stubbs, still remind us why they're the very sound of soul.
