RIP Mr Benson. The music you made with The Four Tops will forever live on for genrations to come.   I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

 This is the first I have heard about this. Am an has been in the music business for almost fifty years, you would think you would hear a little something more.
Anywho: Next to Mr. Levi Stubbs, Obie was my family's favorite. His energy and smile onstage was infectious. We used to call him Mr. Sunshine for that dance the guys would do. Peace to his soul. | |

The world lost a true treasure of music today in Obie Benson. Im going to go to the funeral if its open to the public. Motown has lost another hero.
