Obie Benson was the bedrock of The Four Tops during the legendary Motown group's decades-spanning career, singing bass and choreographing their smooth-as-silk dance routines. Heard to brilliant effect behind lead vocalist Levi Stubbs on classic singles like "Reach out, I'll Be There" and "Standing in the Shadows of Love," Benson was also a celebrated songwriter in his own right, most famously authoring Marvin Gaye's landmark "What's Goin' On."
