I am one of the lucky ones that got to see the original Temptations perform and then I got to seem them again when Dennis had replaced David. This made me cry.
I like the song they were singing that got me wondering if they were just closing with a random song or did they actually sung this song on any of their albums.
I'VE LOVED THE TEMPTATIONS SENCE I WAS 3 YEARS OLD. I WOULD LOVE TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THAT GROUP. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFO ON WHO TO CONTACT FOR AN AUDITION PLEASE CONTACT ME AT emanrobinson@hotmail.com THANK YOU ALL FOR THE GREAT POST.
That line up right there!! Dennis Edwards, Otis Williams, Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin and David Ruffin, if they could have just made one more album right around that time it would still be a classic today.
I think that it is unfortunate that some people feel as though Hall and oaks should not be on stage with the tempts. Some of our greatest entertainers can be overshadowed by unfortunate circumstances, which was the case with David&Eddie, H&O had been admirers of the tempts from the 60's. H&O felt as though they could re-vitalized ED&DAV fame if they took them on tour with them. They helped ea other by tapin into ea othe fan base. So wht is the prob of them being on stage with the tempts?
Tearz:( I was born n 1979 n my mom is a Motown fanatic(she named me after smokey robinson daughter smh) anywho I was raised on the temps like they was my godfathers..I wish I was able to meet them like my mom did and there music is a soundtrack to my life I luv them sleep in peace Eddie Paul blu...
It was disrespectful for Hall & Oats to be in the picture. It was the Temps' moment. Since when presenters take pictures with the inductees? These men have struggled in their public and personal lives as Temps since the early 60s. They paid their dues. H&O was nowhere to be found then.
Darryl and John probably introduced the group and presented the award... Then got swept away with the moment, they're soul singers in their own right. Remember they started with Gamble & Huff...
This reminds me of when they first started out just smilin and talking amongst themselves. Edddie K. is my fav and he's like walkin around in the background it's so adorable. He's still a cutiepie. love it!!!!
If you listen closely, you can hear they all had that same resonance when they spoke~this is why vocally when they sang , We heard and to this day!~can still hear the beautiful tones we call the Temptations!! forever BABY!!~
They were all so tall and handsome in their prime and Melvin Franklin and Sherman Garnes of the Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers had the most deep voices ever goodness!
Thank you for this timeless piece!! I am sorry I missed this. I don't know why BET, or TVOne won't do a lifetime tribute 2 these guys - who paved the way for today's "boy groups". The audience should have given this group a thunderous applause and a standing ovation. Shame, Shame, Shame!
I've been looking for a clip of the Temptations being inducted in the Hall of Fame. That is a classic piece of history for the Classic Five and Dennis Edwards. Much Love! I can't figure out why Hall and Oates were up there with them. That was the Temptations moment, not theirs. They sang a beautiful tribute of Don't Look Back to Paul Williams, which was the song that Paul sang lead on. David Ruffin died 2 years later and Eddie Kendricks died 3 years later. Melvin Franklin died 6 years later.
hall and oates are up there because at the time Hall & Oates were doing some shows with Ruffin & Kendricks.
That is all I know, look it up, I'm not a huge Temps fan. The only reason I have this vid is because I'm a big Stones fan and they were inducted the same night.
I know that Hall and Oates were doing shows with David and Eddie at that time. Anybody could have been doing shows with David and Eddie at that time, but that don't mean that they were supposed to be up there with The Temptations while they were inducted in the Hall Of Fame. The induction was for the Temptations only. Hall and Oates were not a part of the Temptations. They just had done some shows with Eddie and David during that time.
@williamg2552, I'm a HUGE Temps fan and have no problem with Hall & Oats being up on stage. Apparently The Temps didn't have a problem with it either. They all seem to be really enjoying themselves, so who are we to say who should be on stage and who shouldn't?
@sistabiggbonz I think you're replying to the wrong person. I never said I had a problem with it.Someone else said why should Hall & Oates be the ones to induct The Temptations. I said: Hall and Oates are there because they are big fans of The Temptations, and asked the Hall of Fame to be the ones to induct them.
It's too bad Otis couldn't work his differences out with the others at the time. They looked like they were dying to sing together again. You can see the love and brotherhood amongst them, it was very real.
THESE BRUTHAS BROUGHT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL UNDYING GIFT TO THE WORLD AND I CAN SAY WITH DEEP PRIDE THAT I WAS A WITNESS IN THE STREETS OF DETROIT AND WHENEVER I HEAR EM I START TO CRY WITH TEARS OF JOY!!! THANK YOU TEMPS.. TEMPS FOREVER!!!
This really touched me to watch. Through all the hard times and tribulations, in the end the music was all that mattered. I honestly think that The Temps are the epitome of soul, grace and style. What incredible talent! We need more young artisst who try to emulate these legends. Rest in peace Paul, David, Eddie & Melvin and all the best to Otis and Dennis. God Bless the Tempin' Temptaions!!!
I'm grateful that they inducted the Original Temps and Dennis while Eddie David & Melvin were still alive to feel the love. This was a beautiful ceremony.
My favorite part is when David Ruffin tries to take the lead at 4:52 and then really gets into it at 4:56. He has so much soul in just those two little lines.
Ha. Notice at 4:46, Otis is the only one who messes up. David and Eddie begin singing the "Past is behind you" part and it takes Otis a while to realize it. He's still trying to sing the "Don't Look Back" words. And his face/eyebrows are priceless when he realizes it. Check it out.
These guys have more time at the mik than the oscars. Maybe because no one cares about the Oscars. ps-- according to the movie, David Ruffin got lots of ass, lol, but it was sad the story these guys went through with the loss of david, paul, eddie and then blue at the end. Otis always said that Blue's low "cash" baritone voice always made the ladies melt, lol. Love the temps !!! :))
Great video, loved hearing them together. I think it was bittersweet for all, and Paul Williams lives on through his son Paul Williams Jr who is singing with Dennis Edwards & The Temptations Review. The box set "The Emporers of Soul" has several early songs with Paul singing lead. We are all flawed human beings, I've wondered many times what could have been done about Paul's illness, David's drug use, and who called the dam police to arrest Eddie after David's funeral for back child support?

@simon10177 I see. Some people wondered about the truth of Otis Williams account for the movie because he is the only one in the original lineup who is still alive. He was painted in the movie somewhat as the spokesperson of the group with few flaws.
Temptations are my all time favorite singing group. Especially in the beginning , they knew how to touch your heart & soul. They will remain in mine forever. Thank you Temps for all your beautiful music & the ability to sing it for us to enjoy..........peace forever.
That was a epic moment. It was too real and too passionate. It's like these guys never left this earth. But they'll never leave our hearts. R.I.P. Temptations (Paul, Eddie, David and Melvin). Y'all will truly be missed. As for Otis and Dennis, hang in there brothas.
Thank you so much "rcc663" for posting such a wonderful, heartfelt video. This video just makes me so emotional. I love my Temptations. They truly are, by far my favorite group of all time. They deserved this honor along with every other honor they received because they put the Lord first and worked hard to get where they were. I love them all forever and may God bless them through all of eternity. Temptations....FOREVER.
Thankyou rcc663 for posting this excellent video. It is the only video clip that is clear and enjoyable all at the same time. Love it and once again thanks for the post.
@Bychance37 i meet Mr. Dennis EDwards in a st.louis barbre shop, i was maybe 17, i didn't know who he was be he was soo nice and down to earth, i told he that a movie was coming out about the temp. and he said that beyonce is a great singer.....
thank you for posting this... I enjoyed it tremendously. I appreciate the years of enjoyment I have received from the Temptations. My life would not have been the same without their contribution.
thanks for posting the cler version and for one moment in time...they were all one again....amazing. There will never be another group like the temps....music needs to get back to real singing like this, where you can feel the song not just all the instrumentation....ol school is the best school
Oh Yes thank you rcc663. So glad I can see this video.The previous one one was not clear. People were making comments regarding Eddie Kendrick behaviour. As far I i can now see he behaved OK and seemed very happy like the rest of the group. Its a pity Paul Williams was not there.
Damn this is clear as HD....lol...(i know, pretty corny) but thanks 4 posting this up...where u get ur footage from?...u can leave the secret in my inbox...thanks
Ruffin probably realized what a fool he was for so many years. He threw away what could have been a long carer with the Temps, but his ego and drugs got in the way. Then he split them up with his bullshit. Dont get me wrong, Im a big fan of David and his great voice but standing up there he should have been uncomfortable. Thanks for posting this video--gives me chills to see the boys together.
I notice that david seems a little uncomfortable here. David was very articulate man and everyone knows the man could SANG, but me, i liked his voice way better in the 80's and 90's. In the 90's right before his death - he performed, 'i wish it would rain" POWERFUL ! way better than the 60's i wish it would rain.
:@totaly52: Ruffin was uncomfortable here because bigtimcny took the words right outta my mouth he probably realizeed what statue of a fool his ego and drug use made him and ruined what could have been a great long career with The Tempts.
Oh, Did anyone notice Eddie at some points (especially when Otis was speaking on the microphone) also looked uncomfortable, wonder why.
totaly52@Jennykate1985 Great point you and bigtimcny made about David. On the other temptation hall of fame vedio (the blurryy one) there are comments on there about eddie and the way he was acting when otis was speaking. Interesting.
This is great! That was als in the Movie Temptations as well! They had the same hairstyles and evreything! I love The Temps! Thanks rcc663 for posting!
Finally...a HQ vid...Love it! Look at my Eddie...how cute is he....Great Footage! Ohhh My...Eddie looks so Fine! Thank you rcc663 for this Legendary Post!
YEAH ! How appropriate is the name sweet eddie, but I'll add fine, cute, gracious, adorable, talented, charming, and oh yeah, SEXY ! cute: @3:28 eddie is whispering to john to watch the audience response at melvin's voice.
Dennis has an amazing voice!

Every boy band that came after tried to imitate the Temptations. There were the greatest male singing group of ALL time. God Bless them forever!

thanks for posting the cler version and for one moment in time...they were all one again....amazing. There will never be another group like the temps....music needs to get back to real singing like this, where you can feel the song not just all the instrumentation....ol school is the best school

Oh Yes thank you rcc663. So glad I can see this video.The previous one one was not clear. People were making comments regarding Eddie Kendrick behaviour. As far I i can now see he behaved OK and seemed very happy like the rest of the group. Its a pity Paul Williams was not there.

Ruffin probably realized what a fool he was for so many years. He threw away what could have been a long carer with the Temps, but his ego and drugs got in the way. Then he split them up with his bullshit. Dont get me wrong, Im a big fan of David and his great voice but standing up there he should have been uncomfortable. Thanks for posting this video--gives me chills to see the boys together.

I notice that david seems a little uncomfortable here. David was very articulate man and everyone knows the man could SANG, but me, i liked his voice way better in the 80's and 90's. In the 90's right before his death - he performed, 'i wish it would rain" POWERFUL ! way better than the 60's i wish it would rain.

I agree....David Ruffin....a music legend...and that voice.....Powerful!

:@totaly52: Ruffin was uncomfortable here because bigtimcny took the words right outta my mouth he probably realizeed what statue of a fool his ego and drug use made him and ruined what could have been a great long career with The Tempts.
Oh, Did anyone notice Eddie at some points (especially when Otis was speaking on the microphone) also looked uncomfortable, wonder why.
Jennykate1985 1 year ago
totaly52@Jennykate1985 Great point you and bigtimcny made about David. On the other temptation hall of fame vedio (the blurryy one) there are comments on there about eddie and the way he was acting when otis was speaking. Interesting.

The two men who introduced them Hall and Oates have been repeatedly snubbed by the Hall of Shame for years.
