Theo Peoples is an African-American R&B/soul singer. The son of a preacher, he was discovered by Ron Tyson and tapped to replace Richard Street in the long-lived Motown group The Temptations in 1992. People eventually left The Temptations in 1998, and ended up joining another classic-era Motown act, The Four Tops.

After original Four Tops lead singer Levi Stubbs had to cease touring because of cancer, Peoples took his place as lead singer. He, Abdul "Duke" Fakir, new Top Ronnie McNair, and Roquel Payton, son of the late Lawrence Payton, continue to tour and perform. Renaldo "Obie" Benson, died July 12, 2005.
