I saw this when i was a little boy and only later recognized the gravity of what hall and oates did. They did a great thing with these legends and I will always support them for this awesome deed! Can someone tell me how tall these guys are, they look tall as heck

[DiscoNights1987]

@Limekiln71 If you're talking about Eddie and David's heights, Eddie was 6'1 and Dave was 6'3.

Love Eddie and David, Hell, I love all the Temptss! But, man, I could listen to David ALL DAY!!!

[PaTudie]

You can just tell...Hall and Oats were GREATFUL and HONORED to be with these guys. Darryl Hall LOVED the Temps. He was awestruck to be there on the same stage. He has talked about this in interviews. It was truly a time that he has NEVER forgotten. I never have either. I am BIG fans of ALL of these. Hall and Oats are PURE Blue Eyed SOUL. and that's what it's all about.

You know what video I would like to see but have only seen a little clip of? Is video of their acceptance into the Hall of fame in 1989 with all of them, and Otis all together again. I would also like to see a video of them performing in the reunion tour in what year 1982 but I don't think any video exists.

@DiscoNights1987 Yeah I think the rule of the Temptations was that everyone was over 6 feet and black. I think that rule changed when Ron Tyson joined the group, but still is mostly used till today.

@totaly52 Who cares if he was at his best at Apollo, at least he was still alive. I respect The Temps and Hall & Oates!

[soulman1949ful]

This was suppose to have been the time when eddie start loosing his voice due to lung cancer, but i can't tell, especially around 7:48 - he was really feeling it. To me David wassn't at his best here.

[IamDottieDandridge]

Also eddie always reminded me of marvin gaye (Motown's Debonaire solo male artist) a little in the looks department.

[IamDottieDandridge]

Paul was a jumping ass lead singer but I just gotta say that David is the man when it comes down to it and I love Eddie's voice also especially when he was young. I think Eddie's is a little off here becuz of the affects of his throat cancer :( Otis ass just couldn't sing at all SMH

[Jadervason]

in fact of all the temptations I think paul williams was the most convincing on the mike
