The Temptations
A contemporary American pop group, The Temptations started to make music in Detroit during the early ‘60s. They became famous when Smokey Robinson wrote and produced The Way You Do the Things You Do, which was released in 1964.
The original members of the group were Otis Williams (who is still with the group), Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin.
The Four Tops
Originally called The Four Aims, The Four Tops spent seven years on the road after they recorded their first single in 1956. Their style of music consists of pop, blues, Broadway and mostly four-part harmony jazz. After their first single, they were performing for nearly a decade before their first Motown hit, Baby I Need Your Loving, made them widely popular in 1964.
The original members include Levi Stubbs, Abdul “Duke” Fakir, Renaldo “Obie” Benson and Lawrence Payton. Abdul “Duke” Fakir is still jamming with the group which now consist of Ronnie McNeir, Lawrence Payton Jr., Alexander Morris and Harold “Spike” Bonhart.
