    The Classic Five, at the height of their performing prowess during the Golden Age of Motown, circa 1967.
    Paul, reminding the world that his voice and choreography were long the solid foundation of their one of a kind sound, and style. E.K., angelic as ever in his demeanor, as well as his silky smooth falsetto. Ruff'...always the quintessential showman. Even as he emerges from the background to take the lead. Blue, "basso profundo", forever just happy to be in the mix, anchoring the harmony and dancing his heart out. And, of course Otis. The harmonic waypoint for all of the background vocal accompaniments; so sweet they even brought tears to the eyes of men, as well as women.
    In four short years, they set the bar, thrilled the world, and pressed The Temptations' indelible stamp on the true meaning of Sweet Soul Music. Even though singers change and music evolves, they will never be eclipsed. No matter the number of cover groups Otis, or anyone else puts together to extend their legacy. Rest in peace those who are no longer with us. Your music and your presence helped make Detroit, Hitsville, USA something special, and the world a better place because of it.

    WALMART is running an ad on tv right now using this song "the Best Things in Life are Free ". Shazam it and Google it - and it says it's Sam Cooke, but it sounds to me like Paul and the Temptations. I've listened to Sam Cooke's original version and of course - he nailed it. But I think the WALMART ad is using Paul's version and not realizing it. If I'm wrong I stand Firm in thinking "THIS" "version by the Temptations with Paul leading - in his prime-- is -- to me -- the BEST !!
