This book is not pretending to be a definitive history of those four life-long friends, There are no revealing secrets, no gossip. It is simply a journey through their career via their recordings, a tribute to a career that earned them the plaudits of many, as they were a group like no other. Four guys who could turn their hand to singing anything and doing it well.
Sadly, one by one they vacated their microphone, with Duke Fakir being the last man standing, carrying on until he too had to call it a day, only to see his retirement counted in days rather than years.
Initially, the book was going to be entitled 'AND THEN THEE WERE NONE', but it was decided to simply leave it as 'The Four Tops', nothing more. They don't need a subtitle.
Although the author of more than two dozen books, all football related, [mainly on a particular club that he won’t name here in case it offends], of which one national journalist wrote: “When it comes to the club’s history, it would be fair to describe him as the most prolific author in the business”, this is Iain McCartney’s first venture into the world of music. He is a regular contributor to the ‘Soul Up North’ fanzine, whilst also hosting ‘Soul Train’ a local community radio show. He can also be found DJ’ing locally now and again and was instrumental in bringing the Goldsoul Motown and Soul Weekender to Dumfries where he lives.
