The Four Tops

R&B · pop · soul

The Four Tops are an American vocal quartet, whose repertoire has included doo-wop, jazz, soul music, R&B, disco, adult contemporary, and showtunes. Founded in Detroit, Michigan as The Four Aims, lead singer Levi Stubbs (a cousin of Jackie Wilson and brother of The Falcons' Joe Stubbs), and groupmates Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Renaldo "Obie" Benson and Lawrence Payton remained together for over four decades, finally forced to endure a lineup change when Payton died in 1997. At that time, Theo Peoples was added to the lineup; Peoples later replaced Stubbs, who fell ill from a stroke, and Ronnie McNeir assumed Peoples' spot. In July 2005, Benson died of lung cancer with Payton's son Roquel replacing him. As of 2006, Fakir, McNeir, Payton and Peoples still perform together as The Four Tops. Wikipedia

(Holland- Dozier- Holland) Bernadette, people are searchin' for The kind of love that we possess. Some go on searchin' their whole life through And never find the love I've found in you.		And when I speak of you I see envy in other men's eyes, And I'm well aware of what's on their minds. They pretend to be my friend, when all the time They long to persuade you from my side. They'd give the world and all they own For just one moment we have known.
Bernadette, they want you because of the pride that gives, But Bernadette, I want you because I need you to live. But while I live only to hold you, Some other men, they long to control you. But how can they control you Bernadette, When they can not control themselves, Bernadette, From wanting you, needing you, But darling you belong to me.		I'll tell the world you belong to me, I'll tell the world, you're the soul of me, I'll tell the world you're a part of me.
In your arms I find the kind of peace of mind The world is searching for, But you, you give me the joy this heart of mine Has always been longing for.		In you I have what other men long for. All men need someone to worship and adore, That's why I treasure you and place you high above, For the only joy in life is to be loved. So whatever you do, Bernadette, keep on loving me, Bernadette, keep on needing me, Bernadette.
