Four Tops Lose Another Founder

Motown is no longer the power-house it once was. It was D-Town's version of the Brill Building, pumping out hits like an industrial factory. Now Motown is pretty much reduced to the bargain bins and best-of collections, which are a constant reminder of how great the music is.

Last Friday, Motown suffered another blow to the family as Four Top founder, Obie Benson, died. He is also remembered for his penmanship of Marvin Gaye's gem, "What's Goin' On."

For more on Benson.
