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.

@tommiexander

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.

At least the guys had this moment together ... always nice to watch this.

cool clip. Melvin must have been overwhelmed though, The bible verse is actually Deuteronomy 3:24, not 2:25, But what the heck, He was and is one of the best voices we'll ever hear

@Scully019 - Paul and Eddie were more like it , along with David, Dennis was great also, but not an original.

Where's Eddie?????

Dennis says "I want to thank God for the opportunity to sing with this group." David is right behind him thinking, "Thank me, mother-blam!-er!"
