With Duke Fakir of the Four Tops

Liz Kershaw chats to Duke Fakir, the only surviving original member of the Four Tops.

Liz chats to Duke Fakir of The Four Tops, the only surviving original member. They were a definitive act in developing the Motown sound in Detroit. The band remained together for over four decades, having gone from 1953 until 1997 without any change in personnel.

Liz also gives listeners the chance to show-off their musical knowledge with themed tune suggestions and chats to a listener about their favourite album in All Killer No Filler, which comes from The Future Sound Of London.
