Alot of people don't give them credit, but Blue and Dennis could really dance too. Otis, I hate to say was a little stiff, and I've noticed on other videos, would be messing up. But he was/is the glue to the harmony.
As a teenage boy,my friends would always look at the temps as trend setters,being it style,fashion,or song.They were THE GROUP other groups looked at to messure-up to.They could step,dress,and most definitly....SING!! If you look at the album cover of Gettin Ready,Those suits were on the rack the next week.so for those of you who weren't around at the time,the suits on stage were just that...STAGE OUTFITS...and they looked good too!!!!
That's not the Midnight special Whatiship73 and Sorry to tell you that.
Anyway, Been a Tempts fan since 1970 and I remember this performance well. In fact, one of my uncles was on the legal team of the management company that rep'd the Temps and he and Dennis were tight. All you can say is WOW and who can touch THIS? NOBODY then and NOBODY now!
When the tempts did away with the four headed mike this was the results. They were more free to move . The steps on Glasshouse word cannot describe. Back in the 70s we would just say Badddddddddddddddddddddddd. Wow some 70,000 views Wow.
OK...I just watched this like five times straight before commenting. The guys were JAMMIN. ... All of them grooved...BUT I can't help but keep my eyes on Melvin...he was KILLIN IT!!! Gon' Melvin!
Replayed this video about thirty times. I wish I was around to actually see this performance live. Melvin and Richard were gettin' it! And Otis and Dennis *fans self* wheeew!
Damn! Those 70's uniforms are too much! I mean, they are horrible! I guess those were extreme 70's uniforms.! Even the clothes in Superfly looked better than those! I guess you had to be there to understand...
Man o man this is great! Killer choreography too! Tell me, is 'Glasshouse" on the same album as Firefly and Memories? Also, around that time wasn't there a song called, "I'm a batchelor"? My memory is kinda fuzzy but these old vids brings me back.
the core lineup of the tempts from 1971 to 1992 was Otis, Richard and Melvin the tenors were good Damon,glenn, and Tyson, The front men Louis Price Dennis and Woodson are very good singers, Price came in a down time for this great group only in the group 2yrs, the boy is good check him out on youtube, also check out G.C.Cameron great voice and range, this group has had some outstanding singers! We should enjoy them instead of taking cheap shots if your name is not eddie, or David
in the late 1968s Eddie Kendricks was uncomfortable with singing the psychedelic style that Whitfield was now crafting , (such as the Grammy winner "Cloud Nine" (1968), "I Can't Get Next to You" (1969), and "Ball of Confusion) for the group as opposed to the"I'll Be in Trouble" (,"The Girl's Alright With Me" "Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)" "Get Ready" Just My Imagination" "You're My Everything He quit in1971
It was their Overture at the time, 72/3 till bout 77. Was opening of all there live shows then. One of first live gigs I ever saw Also saw the Supremes and Three Degrees at the Fiesta Nightclub in Sheffield, round 1973.Brillanat Shows all of em.
WOW!! the steps are something to watch. Tall,dark, lean and sexy. They don't miss a beat. Now this is entertainment, and they probably practice till they reached perfection. take note- young groups.
To answer your question; kudos is often used to give credit and recognizing someone of their unique talent with praise, as a result, in this case, the group profit beyond their wildest dreams.
I hope this was helpful.
This is why I like Utube, the sharing, kudos to the staff of Utube, and it allows all of us to grow!
Wow! Tough choreography--almost makes me dizzy to watch it! I always liked this song, so this clip was great to watch. Thanks for posting this. Can somebody make me a DVD set of all these great videos???
Lon Fontaine took over the choreography of the Temptations during this period. As you can see, it is a bold departure from the "classic" Tempts choreography from the 60's; and clearly the reason you hear very few songs from this era in any of their shows these days.
Thanks, I did see there was sonething different about their moves. I like it. Lots of energy, when I hear this song on my Ipod I actually visualize..Good to know!
In my opinion, not one of their best songs. However, I've watched this video more times than I care to count; just to check out the dance moves. So now I'm diggin the song as a result. It's all about association my friends

Yeah, Your right. They're all on the album, "A Song For You". Side one is funky (Standing On Shakey Ground) and side two is slow jams.
IMHO, The last great Temptations LP.
