My big cousin Cath ook me to see the Four Tops at the Liverpool Empire I was 11 yr old Reach Out was no 1 in the hit parade. My first concert I will never forget the excitement the diversity of the audience and the sheer joy singing and dancing to I can't help myself.
Abdul "Duke" Fakir, the last original member of the Four Tops, passed away at 88 in Detroit. As first tenor, Duke helped define the Motown Sound with hits like "I Can't Help Myself" and "Reach Out, I'll Be There" and will be sadly missed.
