The current lineup consists of Otis Williams, Ron Tyson, Terry Weeks, Joe Herndon, and Bruce Williamson.
The Four Tops had their first Motown hit with "Baby I need Your Loving" in 1964, their soulful and bittersweet songs continually gained success. "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)," was a smash in 1965, and is one of Motown's longest-running chart toppers. Like The Temptations the Four Tops had memorable hits throughout the decades such as; "Ask The Lonely," "Something About You," "Ain't No Woman (Like The One I've Got)," "Catfish," "Indestructible," and a whole host of other hits!
