The Temptations & The Four Tops at Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair

They are the bastions of the enduring and highly influential Motown Sound. The Temptations & The Four Tops are truly living legends. Their music is everywhere and has been listened to from one generation to the next.

The Temptations is one of the early Motown groups that has had their taste of chart-success since the sixties. They have a very distinct sense of style, amusing choreography, and a rich vocal harmony that pioneered psychedelic soul, and was significant in the evolution of R&B and soul music. “My Girl,” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “Get Ready,” “Just My Imagination,” and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone,” are just some of their chart-topping hits that are very much familiar and addictively sing-able to this day. Being the first Motown group to win a Grammy Award and collected a total of three in their long-spanning career, they were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Their most-loved classic T"My Girl", "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)", and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone", were listed in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. The Temptations were ranked at number 68 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of all time.

Another group that defined the Motown sound is The Four Tops. They're one of Motown's source of their steady stream of hits which include “Baby I Need Your Loving,” “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),” “Reach Out (I’ll Be There),” and “Ain’t No Woman (Like the One I’ve Got)”.
