  • The Temptations are an American vocal group that formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1960. They were known for their success in the 60s and 70s at Motown Records. The group's repertoire has included, during its five-decade career, R&B, doo-wop, funk, disco and soul music. Known for their recognizable choreography, distinct harmonies, and flashy onstage suits, the Temptations have been said to be as influential to soul as The Beatles are to pop and rock. Having sold tens of millions of albums, The Temptations are one of the most successful groups in music history. As of 2010, the Temptations continue to perform and record for Universal Records with its one living original member, Otis Williams, still in its lineup.
    The Temptations helped put Motown Records on the map in 1964, with their song "The Way You Do The Things You Do" rising to the top of the charts. They were the first Motown act to earn a Grammy Award. Three classic Temptations songs, "My Girl", "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)", and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone", are among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
    Recorded live at Harrah's Atlantic City in 1983
    Directed by Gary Legon

    To all those dissing this lineup, as you age....go sit yourself down and rock until you take your last breath. That's what you insist these great men do. I am grateful they kept the music going, entertaining me into my later years. They sounded wonderful. It was their time. Live your memories but no need to put down anybody. Nothing, not even you, stays the same. No one is bigger than the group!!!

They really put on a great show. You'll have fun! I cover "To Proud to Beg." My own upcoming single "Integration Education" to be release early next year is a tribute to the soul groups of the '60s. Most of my songs are more acoustic, though.

Blessings to all of them Paul, Eddie, Melvin, David, Dennis, Richard, Ali, and a special Thanks to Mr Otis Williams for putting and keeping them in our hearts and minds forever Temptations. Thanks and forgive me for the names I forgot to mention.

    Old Man River shows off their awesome accapella harmonies. Most of the tunes in this concert take me right back to 1970-71. I was a an east coast guy hitting the west coast for the first time, thanks to uncle sam. lol Temptations on the radio, cold coors in hand, and cruising pacific coast highway 1. Who needs a time machine, when we have music like this to take us there.....thanx for the post and memories.

    This Temptations lineup was awesomely talented, i.e., Otis Williams, Dennis Edwards, Ron Tyson, and the late Melvin Franklin and Richard Street. Give some props to Otis Williams for having survived all the up's and down's of maintaining the stellar reputation of The Temptations all these decades since their genesis as The Distants/Primes and Elgins. You may not love Otis for some of the things he had to do to keep the Temptations at the top of their game, but he gets my respect & admiration to the max!

    They all had to go home after entertaining so many. I can honestly say I came during the times as a teenager and Dennis came aboard in 1968 I believe with Psychadelic Shack.. They didn’t miss a beat and just think Otis is 80 years old and still putting it down and performing.. He’s held up the battleship all these years.. This concert just throws me back in my seat especially ‘love on my mind.’ That lady in the white dress was really enjoying the music.. Now just think most of the ones we knew are gone..

      There was no week link! Every voice, every move, every emotion personified by the whole. It was just human feelings. No mention of race. It was that we are all alike. We all experience the same feelings. They brought everyone together. Boy, could we use them today!

    I was into the Beatles, The Jackson Five, Beach Boys.
    I was drawn to their soulful sound, studied Arts throughout college, as my minor, while earning my medical degree to serve some of these amazing gentlemen. Thank y'all for making my life complete! MUCH LOVE AND PRAYERS FOR SHARING YOUR INCREDIBLE TREAMENT WITH THE WORLD!🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏

Little did we know. Dennis brought the church with him and we all fell in love with his singing. Love this. Thanks for posting.
