Were is Otis Wiliams, Richard Street, Dennis Edwards Glenn Leonard surving members of The Temptation AND some of the Motown Artists? Watching this video clip I did'nt see their faces unless there in the back ground. What a beautiful Service celebrating Ollie,s life may you rest in peace has Magic Johnson said you have now gone to sing with with other LATE GREAT LENGENDS. One Love!
Awesome talent will be truly missed had the pleasure of playing guitar for him when he came to the UK a few years ago. An amazing musician inspiring and unique. Music has lost a champion Rest in Peace Sir.
The long history of great lead singers for the Temps (David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams and Dennis Edwards) Ali-Ollie Woodson was my personal favorite. Touch Me Baby, Special and Treat Her Like a Lady are my all time favorites featuring his vocals. May you rest in peace Mr. Woodson and I hope to see you someday on the other side.
I am glad that someone finally covered some real news. It is nice to see this service for our brother Ali. A real story giving a great man the respect he deserves. Rest in peace Ali. See you when I get there too.
It is so true I had no ideal Ali had passed, incredible. I was a great admirer of his work. A gifted and talented vocalist, that I really enjoyed listening to. I tell his family to stay encourage and to that wonderful Brother Rest in Peace your fight is over.
I am very blessed that you shared this video with his loyal and faithful fans.
My comment is may GOD keep his family and friends safe in HIS arms and I hope you will understand that even though we loved and cherished Ali - GOD LOVED HIM BEST!!!
Many things could be said, but the absence of any current or former Tempts is conspicuous. Were they not there, or just not featured in the clips? The host is so right about how the media did not cover his death; it was several days later before I found out, from SoulTracks. This goes to show how things in life just don't seem fair sometimes, but we have to rest assured that God is in control and He has a reason for all, and we have to carry on in faith regardless.
@temptsfan2 : I'm no expert, but I read somewhere that Ron Tyson attended the funeral services. Now, if that is correct, since Tyson is a current member of the Temps, the others could have shown up, too, I'm just saying. But, God will work it out--of that I have no doubt. I believe that Ali is resting in the arms of Jesus.
@msjayelbee9 I hope Ron and others did attend. The host did a great job with this video, and it would have been more complete if there were an interview at the end with Ron or other current/former Tempts. Not sure what all the dynamics were at the time between Ollie and his family and the Tempts' organization, but it would have been great to have a group of Tempts to sing on program. Like you said, Ollie is in God's hands now. Peace!
Arguably the very finest lead vocalist in the entire history of the Temptations (He was MY personal choice), Ali-Ollie Woodson was a soul-stirring combination of the best qualities of David Ruffin & Dennis Edwards. He brought an incredibly strong Gospel flavor to the lead vocals that Dennis actually started, but Ali PERFECTED! His passing was an enormous loss to the entire music world, and his memory (as well as the music he gave us), will be cherished. Rest in God's eternal love, Brother Ali.
What an incredible singer! They did not come any better. He could hold that stage with the very best of the best. RIP Ollie, Your music was outstanding.
