Their sound lives on decades later with founding member Abdul \u201cDuke\u201d Fakir and well known hits like \u201cI Can\u2019t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s The Same Old Song,\u201d \u201cReach Out I\u2019ll Be There,\u201d and \u201cAin\u2019t No Woman (Like the One I\u2019ve Got).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With over 24 Top 40 pop hits to their credit, the Four Tops have been inducted into the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame and have received the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award.
