For more than 50 years, The Temptations have pros- pered, propelling popular music with a series of smash hits and sold-out performances throughout the world.

During the group’s five-decade career, they’ve charted numerous No. 1 hits including “My Girl,” “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg,” “Get Ready,” “Just My Imagination” and “Papa Was A Rolling Stone,” among many others. The Four Tops have been thrilling audiences with their infectious blend of pure vocal power and sweet harmonies since 1954. The Four Tops became one of Mo- town’s most consistent hit makers with songs like “Baby, I Need Your Loving,” “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),” “Reach Out (I’ll Be There),” “Ain’t No Woman (Like the One I’ve Got),” and many more well-known hits. • LIADO’s 11th San Gennaro Festa, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 22-23, at the Safety Harbor Marina, 110 Veterans Memori- al Lane, Safety Harbor.
