  The Four Tops - Biography - AOL Music
The Four Tops' story is one of longevity and togetherness: these Motown legends teamed up in high school and spent over four decades without a single personnel change.
The Four Tops' lone Chess single, "Kiss Me Baby," was an unequivocal flop, and the group moved on to similarly brief stints at Red Top and Riverside.
The Four Tops next caught on with Arista, where in 1988 they scored their last Top 40 pop hit, the aptly titled "Indestructible." The Four Tops were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and continued to tour the oldies circuit.

The Tops returned to Motown in the mid-80s for two unsuccessful albums before signing with Arista in 1989 and releasing Indestructible, their final hit album, which included the song "Loco In Acapulco" from the soundtrack of Phil Collins' movie Buster.

 A BRIEF HISTORY OF POP AND ROCK MUSIC IN THE 1960'S
As the late fifties gave way to the early sixties, the rockabilly stars of the previous decade (the Everlys, Elvis, Roy Orbison) were still having hits, but the older pop-music stars were fading away as they struggled to find material that would click with this new and energetic generation of kids.
Pop music gradually became controlled by new young "vocal"-groups, taking their power from a combination of the performer's charisma along with the songwriting talents of the production team, who operated behind the scenes.
Their sound and attitudes influenced everything that came afterwards--even today, when kids sing along with pop tunes on the radio and sing soft Britty "r's", they're unconsciously mimicking the English sound.

Chess changed the quartet's name to the Four Tops to avoid confusion with the better-known vocal group, the Ames Brothers, but subsequent records for Red Top, Riverside and Columbia were commercially unsuccessful.
However, the Four Tops remained in demand on the nightclub circuit, singing jazz and pop standards, and, by the early 1960s, they were playing venues in New York and Las Vegas, usually supporting such stars as Billy Eckstine and Count Basie.
By the mid-1970s, however, their urbane style was out of step with new trends in fl pop music, though they remained in demand as concert and nightclub performers in both the US and Europe.

 MAMY BLUE - Oldies Music Forum
Thanks Dan: I know the version by Nicoletta, Demis Rousseau and the Italian one by Dalida even if in the same period here in Italy Demis and her were most popular with other songs (Dalida with the French version of MAMY BLUE while the Italian one was sung by Johnny Dorelly with the same lyric).
I never heard about LOS POP TOPS, that really is a Spanish group unknown here even if I think it is not the same known in Italy who sang the English version of the song during the 70s (that here was 1st in the top ten for 11 weeks).
I'm a little partial to the Pop Tops version only because It's the first exposure I had to the song when it was released.

 BOX TOPS: RECENT REVIEWS
The legendary Box Tops have re-grouped, currently touring (for the first time in 27 years) and showing a new generation some of the high points of the 60s that many missed.
The Tops closed their set with (of course) the mega-hit "The Letter"...It was nice hearing the tune done in its original arrangement (the only other version I have ever heard live was a drastically different cover by Joe Cocker), and a nice ending to a perfect night.
The Box Tops, along with The Rascals, wrote the book on "blue-eyed soul" during the psychedelic 60s...although as of late, the term "blue-eyed soul" has become somewhat of a cliche.
