very nice video, you took us from the past to now. Wow, how each decade had a different style of music...different lead vocals, different members, yet still the Temptations! very nice, keep up the good work
Beautiful tribute. But also bitter sweet. Four of the original 5 are no longer with us, but their legacy will live on forever because they were the ones that made it all happen. It was their combination of talent, style, and looks that made the greatest male vocal group ever to this day! And I just can't say enough about Eddie Kendricks. His good looks, falsetto voice, and charisma would make you melt!
I will always love the Temptations but there will never be the sound like the Original 5 Otis, Blue, Paul, Eddie and David, I have to have my fix of them everyday! Temptations Forever!
ok, from left to right---Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, Otis Williams, and Paul Williams (my fav). These are known as the legendary "Classic Five". The original five included Elbridge (Al) Bryant, who was replaced by David. Otis is the sole surviving member of these 2 lineups.
Eddie looks so cute and hot at 0:38. I would have dated him ,he is so hot and so is the actor who played eddie in the tempatations movie HE is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute. so is pual on the tempatations movie
when i saw them 3 weeks ago.otis said he had been doing this for 48 years.the crowd went wild for him.and boy he moves like a young guy.brilliant show.had a great night.
Funny enough ,i saw them about 3 weeks ago at the Birmingham symphony Hall, My friends wife couldn't make it so he decided to take me. I loved Motown as a teenager and thought it wouldn't be the same as it was back in those days. How wrong i was! they were fantastic and full of energy. I recommend anyone to go and see the temptations before its too late.
as great as ruffin was. he had a jekyll and hyde personality because of his cocaine addiction. he was also an egomaniac. all this led to hime being fired. what i cant really understand is why they did not let him comeback even years later. i guess he was just so unpredictible and undependable that they just coulndt or wouldnt put up with his volitale personality.
great video, thanks for posting it. as a white teen growing up in the 60's , I didn't truly appreciate the temps or their music. now 40+yrs later, one would be a fool not to see and realize the talent they had, not only then but throughout the years and in all the various members that were in the group.The Motown Sound was the voice of the inter-cities of the 60's & 70's unfortunately not all of us got it till later.
temps raised me up in Kitale ,kenya in the seventies. Passion and love for them I had and still love them. Mercy to Paul Williams left us soyoung AND bright and the rest(original) lay by the wayside peace to them too. Otis keep up the flames and until....!
My first "super-heroes" of music, from day 1! As a child, My father had 45's of "My Girl","It's Growing", and "Cloud Nine" in his collection. As I got older, his collection became "our" collection, and I proceeded to add all of the Tempts LPs from the late 60's on through the 70's, 80's, up to the present. The line-up that performed on the "Phoenix Rising" album was actually one of my favorites, which is quite a compliment, considering the "Emperors Of Soul" who preceeded them. True LEGENDS!
louis price was a nice lead singer, the tempts are legendary and all the lineups old and new have contibute the the to the tempts legacy, what group ever had lead singers like david eddie paul dennis richard, louis, theo, gc cameron bo henderson and the great ollie woodson!
as long as otis is with the tempts they will always have compelling singers, good unknown singers want to be a part of a lengdary group! while you think there is 3 or four ex tempts groups singing, people will pay to see someone who sung lead on hit songs, hell you could now put a lineup of dennis ollie richard damon or glen theo, and we don!t need a bass, hell I still left out gc cameron and bo and lois price all compelling, noone is bigger than the group, 50yrs of great music.
veetwelve, you got your opinion but you are hater and a moron because 2 million people bought the c.d stay in 1968 30 yrs after the great david was fired, you haters are pissed because the group didn!t lose a step after david and eddie was out of the group, hell the next lineup after the classic had just as many #1 hits, 7 as the great classic plus 2 grammys, and the latest group in 2000 had a grammy and they were nominated for a grammy for erisistable, 50 yrs of great music.
veetwelve, you are a moran, you can!t speak for the 2 million people who bought the c.d. "stay in 1999" 36 yrs afer ruffin left the group,dennis ali woodson, theo peoples, Street ,damon harris glenn leonard ron tyson are not bums, they are part of a legacy.
Great tribute nicely done, it would be nice if the fallin temps could be here to reap the benefits of their hard work. The Temps that are still with us deserve a life-time acheivement award, I'm surprise BET have not honored them yet. Maybe the Temp fans can e-mail BET and make that happen.
A great tribute to music that has marked the passing years of my life. I will save this one for a long time. I especially appreciated the "In Memory". They don't make music like this anymore-how sad!!!
Hey Temptations Fans did you go to Deeprockdrive/david-ruffin-jr. and vote for David Ruffin's son to make it to the Grammys next year. He's doing a tribute to all the Tempts!
I only get 22: Williams, Williams, Bryant,Kendricks,Franklin, Ruffin, Edwards, Owens, Street, Harris, Price, Leonard, Tyson, Woodson, Peoples, Davis, McGilberry, Weeks, Henderson, Cameron, Herndon, and Williamson. Did I miss someone?
I Think this the bombdiggide of site I have not been to many sites but I think this is the best so far that I've seen. Keep it up...............God Bless
yo no conozco la música de The Temptations, pero recuerdo que hace ya varios años utilizaron una canción de ellos para un comercial de Pepsi, alguien sabrá cual es?jaaaa!!!
A fan I would call myself since I have loved them since the 60's. Me and my friend, boy friends, and even my husband grooved off the Temps. I had a chance to go to a party years ago and met them upclose and personal. The were wild and sweet back then I mean the orginals. I had a crush of Otis Williams and still do. I truly am a fan. Love them temptations.
Good tribute. A big fan of the Temptations recently died in my town. His obituary said he had a keen mind and a fine sense of humor and a very kind heart. Also mentioned that he loved the Temptations. You could always catch Reggie at the store dancing with the broom. Precious human being. I have a hard time believing in God but, if there is a God, Reg deserves the best place. He had a heart of gold.
This brought tears to my eyes! I've been a fan since the 60's and would go to see them at the the Trip on Sunset Strip. They were always AWESOME! Guess that says a lot for the original founder of the group, Otis Williams. He kept it together!
Beautiful blues!!!
