American Royalty
The Temptations, known as "American Music Royalty," are celebrating their 63rd anniversary this year.
In 2020, the group was been named No. 1 R&B/Hip Hop Artists of All Time and one of 125 Greatest of All Time Artists by Billboard in 2019.
Of touring in his golden years, Williams, 81, told the Los Angeles Times he gets plenty of shuteye.
“When we finish performing, I go to my room,” he said. “You gotta get that rest, you cannot burn the wick at both ends.”
'Swoon-worthy' songs
The Four Tops were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
The group’s first hit, “Baby I Need Your Loving” in 1964, put them on the Motown map (Fakir told NPR in 2012, that when impressing a date it is the most "swoon-worthy" of their songs.)
Years following, the Tops released “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)” and “It’s The Same Old Song,” “Ask The Lonely,” “Shake Me, Wake Me (When It’s Over)."
