OMG! My first concert was at Carowinds with my Dad and Uncle when I was like 6 years old. The Temptations and the Four Tops together! I'm from S.C. Shag Country. I love this video. I have three boys of my own under 4 now. They love watching Temptation videos from WAY BACK WHEN! My 4 year old loves "Lady Soul!!!!" This video is awesome!!!!
I tell you what.. ha can't move like he used to but damn if he still can't bust those lungs!!! He held that group together and made them what they are. Very few singers these days can even compare to Ollie....
i agree with chef deora ..... i feel like this little clip should be mandatory viewing in any music class in school ... for that matter.... in history class!!!!
soulmziklova: No one would know how ignorant your dumb ass is if you kept your toothless mouth shut. You are brainless and classless. Your comments prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt. I suggest you take your own advice ... do yourself (and the world) a favor and go off the public boards. You are an authentic and bonafied idiot. :D
You have no ear for music and you have no class. Who do you think gives a f**k about what your no count ignorant ass thinks? You are less than nothing. You never liked Ollie Ali Woodson ... who in the hell are you? Nobody with the quicknessa. Do us all a favor and make like a magician and ... disappear. Dumbass.
Rodney, that's Melvin's actual voice. He is known for his deep voice that became a distinct part of the Temptations vocals, no one can replace Melvin!
Don't you just love Ollie Woodson, getting into at 2:22. on the best lead replacements in Tempts history. Love this brother. Charisma, in the whole group.
@faithful4 OLLIE WAS THE GREATEST SINGER SINGER MARVIN PAST!....I THOUGHT THAT WAS MY FAVORITE PART...HIS VOCAL RANGE IS INCREDIBLE....WHEN OLLIE SAYS " MY, MY, MY"...THAT'S WERE JOHNNY GILL IS GETTING "MY-MY-MY"...THERE'S A PART FROM THIS MOTOWN DOCUMENTARY IN THE VIDEO of OLLIE is TELLING "NEW EDITION"...to "KEEP DOIN WHUTCHA DOIN".....MAN I WISH HE WAS STILL LIVING......THE YOUNGER PEOPLE of TODAY NEED TO PATTERN THEIR "VOCAL CORDS" AFTER OLLIE...THE SPINNERS-HAROLD MELVIN/BLUENOTE/THE TEMPS
i love you temps....thanks....your music has made a lot of people happy....may resurrection day hurry up and bring y'all back...I'm booking my ticket in advance for that glorious day.
resurrection day? Why don't you enjoy and experience all the great things this beautiful world has? You dishonor God by wanting this life to just hurry up and be over with. Get a clue.
Great job on the video,love the the showing of the original temps at dance rehersal at the end, Awesome. thanks for posting. What is Ali doing? lol he's doing something different.
There is no music better than this right here. These songs are the best and noone does it better than the TEMPTATIONS. My favourite group of all time. And i am from the younger generation. These new songs and singers have no lasting power. The TEMPTATIONS forever.
1983- Tempts fans were introduced to Ron Tyson and Ali Woodson, 2 talented men that revived a dying quintet. Ali, thank you for the years with the Tempts-your voice is like none other.
cholly atkins was a very talented man and worked very hard and helped many groups. for all of his years of dedication and hard work for motown,it really hurt me to read how berry gordy cheated him out of the credit he deserved, no bad things go unpunished.
This emperor of soul with the man of the hour Cholly Atkins (RIP). Thanks for posting this, my heart goes out to all the artists, who had the honor of being led by a great man... I would like to have a copy of this.
My dad got this on tape. It was from a Showtime special called Motown on Showtime (Temptations/Four Tops). I was about 2 1/2 years old when this came out. They was Motown on Showtime in honor of Marvin Gaye one year later and then Michael Jackson one year after that!
So many memories of Myrtle Beach, S.C. does this bring back.

Ollie Woodson was the GREATEST lead singer the Temps ever had. Just my opinion! He went from Bass, to Barrtone, to 1st Soprano in a blink of an eye!
