Band Name Origins:
- They were originally the Four Aims, but an early producer (years before they were signed by Motown and became legends in the Sixties) told them they couldn't use the name, because they would be confused with the white pop group the Ames Brothers. The producer asked where they got the name. They said, "We're aiming for the top." So the producer suggested "The Four Tops." It took a while, but the rest is history. Submitted by: Michael Pacholek
