In another thread nativeNY63 asked an interesting question.

He never went solo and never considered having the name of the group changed to Levi Stubbs & the Four Tops. And the same members stayed with the group until health and death . My guess is they all got along and appreciated that they had a good thing going.

I cant think of another group that kept its same members.
