"Sail Away" - The Temptations Live Audio / 1984
Sail Away - Santa Barbara / 1984
Written by Angelo Bond and Norman Whitfield
~
Happy New Year! Sail Away has been one of my favorites since I learned about it from a comment. I was originally really excited to hear Ron perform with his natural tenor, and I still love it for that reason.
It's great they performed it live, and there is also a made-for-TV performance on UA-cam as well.
Ron is such a special addition to the Temptations at this time, as "Back To Basics" was his first album to appear on after Glenn quit the group (as said in Richard Street's biography)
In the end, Ron was what Otis had always sought, a consistent lead tenor. As such, he is still with the Temptations with the second longest tenure with the group, being together nearly 42 years.
As this was released in 1983 on Back To Basics, I'm unsure as to whether Dennis Edwards is on the recording or if it was just Ron, Richard, Otis, Melvin. Ali would only feature on one song, where he took lead, "Stop The World Right Here (I Wanna Get Off)". If you know more, please let me know!

    I'm glad Damon Harris got a shout out here. He's the one Temptation great who I really felt bad for. David and Eddie both fell out with the group, but at least they returned for the reunion as well as the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame induction. Paul left the group because of his health, but at least he was a founding member and a part of the Classic 5. Richard's ending wasn't great. He says he and Otis fell out. But at least he got in 22 years with the group and participated in the reunion and on several TV specials. But for Damon, it was kind of a raw deal. I'm sure singing with the group he grew of loving & replacing his mentor was a dream come true. But being kicked out of the group just as you are catching stride had to be a bummer for him. And Damon was never invited back for anything. He did sing with Eddie Kendricks and Dennis Edwards from what understand. But he never rejoined the group.

      You know as much as I do, and I agree. Damon, for being apart of so many classics, didn't get the recognition he deserved. I also feel like that about Louis Price, as he is brought up less than Damon, though being in the group for two and a half years.

    Dennis sounded great, but his voice was a little strained here. I don't know if he had a cold or if his voice was worn out from all that singing. Or maybe it was the sound system. His best performance of this song in my opinion was the one in 1975 when they were wearing the white jump suits.

    Admittedly 🤔, David Ruffin is indeed an Iconic 🎶 Hall of Famer🎵 Elite-Class Singer {worthy of "Sanger-status"} But he could NOT rule over the tenors 🪕 🎼, baritones [French horns 🎺] nor the Exospheric Falsetto Realm {i.e. SAM COOKE, NAT KING COLE, FRANK SINATRA, LUTHER VANDROSS, JASON CRABBE, JOSE FELICIANO, etc.☁️ 😶‍🌫️ 🌤 🌥} like ✝️(Dr.) Ollie Woodson did when he arrived on the scene 🎥 🎞 🎦 🎬 📽; legend has when it, Ollie Woodson got out the 🚗 car singing {had everybody leaning out the 🪟windows, running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ upstairs & downstairs to see 👀 if THAT 🔊 VOICE😮really belonged to a real human being because if it intact did, unequivocally, a NEW KING 🤴 😳 🎶 🎵 ⏹️ 🪕 🎼 💿 had ARRIVED at MOTOWN ✝️. Ollie Woodson could become ONE with a 🎤 🎙because he was the personification of a "God-Gifted🎁 SANGER" {i.e. Callie Day, Rachelle Farrell, Patti Labelle, Vesta, etc.}who sang like 👍 😇 🔊 ✝️ ❤an ANGEL 😇 on MOST occasions during 7/8ths of his lifetime 🏆 🏅 of ✝️ 🙏 🙌 ⛳️ Ollie Woodson was TRULY ONE OF GREATEST PERFORMERS/ENERTAINERS to EVER grace 👑 a stage, he generously shares his 🎁 with the 🌎 via the miracle of UA-cam 👏 👏 .

    I wish Otis sang a little more! And it sucks that Eddie’s voice was wasting away! Wish this could’ve lasted a lot more!
