The same thing is going on right now in Classic Soul Music [with groups like The Temptations, Four Tops and others].

Can anyone say Fakalettes?

Can anyone say Fakalettes?

I sure can! Who-premes, Faux Tops can all be included. To each his own. I ain't there for the tribute-group thing.

I saw the Four Tops and Temptations recently...I wasn't impressed and was thinking it might be time for Otis and Duke to call it a day. The Temptations segment was a bit of a mess. The microphone levels were way too loud. I enjoyed the Four Tops segment more. I actually would rather see a group of young sound-a-likes instead sad to say. I've seen a Fleetwood Mac tribute band that was better than the band themselves nowadays and had a great time seeing them.

What was nice to see in this article is that at least if the current line up of the group doesn't contain many or any of the original members, at least the estate is benefitting in some of these situations.

I agree that there comes a point where frailty and decline of the voice would dictate to most observers that it is best to retire. Of course, if you are Otis and only have to sing background, you can conveniently put the new guys out there.
