Ain’t nobody coming to see you Otis 😂
😂😂😂😂
Ironic since he’s the only living member left
instantly I said it as I read this 🤣🤣🤣
I was waiting for someone to post this. 😂😂😂
Still my favorite scene lol 😂😂
The fact that Leon was in the Temptations AND the Five Heartbeats…I used to think he was a singer for real 🥴😂🤣🤣🤣
❤ makes sense
He also played Little Richard I think
He actually is a singer
Well who u thought was singing
@@Butterflies515 He could've been lip synching
Slight correction, Paul didn’t actually drink in the beginning, there’s a scene during the first tour when he’s offered a flask from David and he turns it down to drink milk. He only started drinking when his sickle cell anemia started getting out of control + frustration with the group’s direction. That’s why Otis says the drinking came out of nowhere.
I was about to make this comment, but I prayed there was a like-minded individual that remembered that part in the tour when Paul was drinking. I just want to thank you for being that like-minded person😊😊
(Edit) Still an amazing review as ALWAYS of one of my faves from @forthenostagia
Paul had sickle cell too?
@@DDarkestKnight Yep thats just something else otis didnt want to put in the movie
🎯🎯so glad you cleared this up! I hated how they portrayed Paul in this movie! Not one mention of sickle cell or his crisis!
@@serenitymichelle3385I think his family would’ve appreciated that more then him seeming like a angry drunk out of nowhere.
Ironically Otis is the only surviving member of the Temps
Ikr?!
As my great granny would say, “Ain’t that somethin’?”
Now we ain’t got no choice but to go see Otis !!😂😂😭😭
@@novajay4691 lol exactly
Ain’t it crazy?
"There is only ONE David Ruffin! "And I refuse to let you goooo!!!"😂
@@maisade mane played right in his face!! Stood on sandcastle business 😂😂😂
Lol 😂 Ruffin is a funny name 😅
Throughout the 90s every time I turn around, I would always see Jenifer Lewis playing either somebody’s mother or matriarch in either film or television
And we love her for it!
She's Mama Odie from Princess and the Frog, too, lol
Fun factttt! Otis actually asked Leon to play him but he asked to play David & producers were hoping he would want to play him😂 he was destined for that role!
one thing I didn’t like about the movie was the false narrative surrounding Paul’s drinking. He was suffering from sickle cell anemia and was experiencing pain so he turned to drinking which turned into an addiction. His drinking didn’t start out of pleasure but more so due to his health issues.
Ooh that wasn't the only false narrative going on in this
That’s also why he always drank milk before turning to the bottle
@@DDarkestKnightthey also failed to mention that they were going to bring David back into fold along with Dennis but of course his antics ruined it, also he was well aware that Dennis was replacing him in the group. When David, Eddie, and Dennis decided to create their own version they didn’t do that until the late 80’s and early 90’s long after their reunion tour.
Also he was depressed to not be as important in the group as he was in the beginning. Like before David Paul really was the main man who everyone looked up too and as David grew to fame Paul was pushed back a bit
Exactly
Heavy on the “Leon’s fine ass”😍😂
"Ain't nobody came to see you OTIS!"
Is forever stuck in my head 😭
In. Everybody's head
Mannnn ain’t nothing like The temptations growing up I used to think the actors were the actually group memebers the way they played the hell out of their roles ! They don’t make movies or groups like this anymore. Brings me back to when my parents had an anniversary I was 7 years old and my brother and I decided to do an at home temptations concert , put towels around our necks lmao had paper towel rolls as microphones . Classics never die . And five heartbeats next I cannnot wait !!!
Honestly, It might be a good thing that are no groups out like “this” anymore or any groups tbh. It so sad that it seems like every group that existed in time had a lot of problems behind the scenes that no one knew about.
@@Soutthdakotaa they did and so do musicians now I say about groups like back in the day because regardless the quality was top tier. You had to know how to dance, sing, have breath control , professionalism etc. more quality music . I’m not speaking on personal.
@ShaeNik listennnn!!! Fr for the longest I thought the 5 heartbeats was real group that whole soundtrack ateeee down
@@SoutthdakotaaHi-Five is probably the catalyst of a group that just had more tragedy than triumph
I hate how this movie made it seem like Paul was a drunk. He suffered from sickle cell and would drink to cope with the pain. Also, many believe Paul was murdered and didn't commit suicide. They really did him dirty in this and I was so upset when I learned his true story.
The whole paul was murdered is just a theory in my opinion. That man clearly was depressed. Otis said in his book that Paul actually told him about wanting to end it a few months prior to his death
However I do agree that the movie failed to show that Paul wasn't just a alcoholic for no reason it was almost like painkillers for him . He took it against the disease. Also he actually never drank alcohol in the early days . Only water or Milk
No doubt in my mind that Paul was murdered. Who shoots themselves with their non dominant hand?
@@lovelee1772 If you kill yourself you're not going to be logical about it. It's an act that relies on unstablility . You're not thinking straight if you even got to that point
The fact that Malik Whitfield has not aged since this movie is crazy. He still looks so good! He also ripped my heart out when he said “oh Blue” when he found him.
I will forever love this movie and will always watch it if it’s on.
There are so many important details that this movie glossed over.
1.) Al did not sing lead on "Come On" that was actually Richard Street
2.) The Primes and Primettes never performed live together, they did however rehearse together.
3.) Otis Williams was more than happy to have Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams in the group, he was not opposed to them joining as the movie depicted.
4. Al and Paul did have an altercation but the movie was wrong about how it happened. In spite of how restless and temperamental he was (due to his alcoholism as well as the lack of success early on), Al loved performing on stage. They were performing at Chappy's Lounge in mid 1963, they had done all the songs in their repertoire but Al wanted to do more. Paul and the others were too tired, and Paul said they weren't going back on so Al crashed a bottle onto Paul's face. Paul spent the night in the hospital and was stitched up, however he told the others to keep Al in the group. However Al's behavior didn't improve and he was fired after the Motown Christmas Party later that year for some snarky comments. Al told Otis that they were pretty boys and that they shouldn't have to dance but rather "look good for the bitches".
4.) David's behavior didn't really become an issue until 1967 not 1966 as the movie showed
5.) David was fired in 1968 for missing a performance with the group in Cleveland to attend a concert where his girlfriend Barbara Gail Martin was performing.
6. David would repeatedly turn up at the group's gigs. He would jump on stage whenever the group would perform songs he sang lead on, and Dennis would hand him the mic.
7.) Paul wasn't always onstage drunk as the movie depicted and they never showed why he took up drinking either. Paul was the group's original lead singer and choreographer however he was overshadowed by Eddie and David in the former department. He was also replaced as choreographer, because Cholly Atkins was in charge of that. This made him very depressed and couple that with his sickle cell anemia. He was in constant pain, he had to fly at high altitudes when the group went to other states or countries, and he was always winded during performances. He coped with pain through alcohol.
8.) Eddie was uncomfortable with the group's musical direction from 1968-71. They had abandoned love songs such as "My Girl" for an edgier brand of soul i.e. "Cloud Nine", "Runaway Child". He was also adamant at several points about bringing David back, which were repeatedly shot down by Otis. Surprisingly, it was Eddie who was initially hesitant about bringing David into the group because the former was a solo act at first. He also didn't want to be onstage without Paul and believed that Otis and Melvin were trying to oust Paul from the group when his health issues compounded.
9.) Paul was not found dead in a parking lot but rather an alley.
10. Dennis was not angry that Norman Whitfield had the 3rd of September line in "Papa Was A Rolling Stone". Edward's father died on October 3rd. The group as a whole was upset because the instrumentation was getting more emphasis than their singing. The track is 12 minutes long. Dennis was angry during the recording because Norman had him record the song dozens of times, and he was reported to have sung the song through clenched teeth.
11. Eddie and David didn't start performing together until 1985.
And another thing I will add
Paul actually had a solo career after being kicked out of the group. He recored some songs . Eddie helped him write a couple of them and he was still advising the group from times to.times with the choreography even though he still wasn't well enough to go back with them properly
I feel like the temptations should have be a multiple episode series.
Wow
Also they did not simply throw David's body out in front of a hospital parking lot. Melvin did not die in Mama Rose's kitchen, he died in a hospital.
Leon was doing the damn thing the whole 90s❤
facts
The “boom kat “ was too smooth 😂😂
I met “Al” when I was about 14 at the Cogic convention. He had the song out Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary. I saw him in the corridor and I was with my cousins and starstruck. I asked for his autograph and he brushed us off. And I yelled “So you ain’t just gone fine me .50??” 😂 we laugh about it every holiday now.
Oh wow did it change your opinion on him
@@roselynholloway7863 honestly.. it did. And he did the hand gesture like shoo get away.. and it hurt my feelings. But I got to see the Clark sisters, Kirk Franklin and tye tribbett
@@Twinkle_Toezzz gotcha
Maybe u hit a sore spot?🤣
@@ftm2ray idk why I said it! It just jumped out of my face 😂. I didn’t know him from anything else but the movie and the song he was doing was new. I was actually the only one starstruck. Ain’t nobody came to see him! 😂
This biopic is the reason I'm an old soul today and became a HUGE Temptations/Motown fan. The Temptations are the greatest group ever and their journey is so inspiring. The only issues I have with the movie is the facts that they got wrong and the things that were left out. One being Paul's drinking addiction. Paul was struggling with sickle cell and depression. Once the fame got bigger and they started touring more often it got stressful for him and he turned to the bottle. His drinking didn’t get worse until his sickle cell disease started to bother him as he aged closer to his 30s. He used alcohol to cope with the pain but he was never once drunk onstage when performing. He was always professional no matter what. If you ever watch his later performances with the Temptations, whenever he was looking off or stumbling around at times it was because of his sickle cell and was in very much pain. He used pain pills to ease it, which is why in some footages his skin was getting lighter and bloated.
Why I thought you was reviewing The Five Heartbeats lmao? But I may rewatch this miniseries one day. I get emotional near the end when Smokey Robinson sings at Melvin Franklin’s funeral 🥲. I forgot Kid from Kid N Play is in this too.
Right?! I think she did though but I could be wrong.
@@BeutifulBeholdershe’s doing the five heartbeats next
Actually, they weren't thinking about removing Paul. They were putting him on sick leave until he was physically able to come back. His drinking wasn't the main problem. At that time, Paul had sickle cell anemia, which to this day has no cure.
Also, Shelly was such a great manager for The Temptations. He was always looking out for the every member of the group, and he didn't hesitate to call someone out for doing something wrong.
Don't hang me ova no balcony
Red's hours: 9am to 5pm
Night like this, I wish raindrops would falll😂
Not the same movie that’s the five heartbeats
@jinny8431 that was the hint for the next film😂
I’ve been WAITING for this review for the longest time 😭
Me and my older sister would watch this and the Jackson 5 tv movie every chance we got. 😂
David snatching the mike from Dennis will never not be funny to me. It will forever be one of my favorite scenes in a movie. I watch it over and over and laugh every time 😂😂
Ain't To Proud to Beg is one of my favorite songs.
0:06 This is one of the greatest music biopics of all time despite the inaccurates & i watched this twice within the past month & here comes the fun facts: Leon said he met Otis Williams during the filming of The Five Heartbeats & Otis told him that if there was ever a biopic made on The Temptations Otis wanted him to portray him. Leon said when he was in the meeting with the writers, directors & producers of The Temptations he told them that he would be better of playing David Ruffin & the writers, directors & producers told him that they were hoping he would said that. Leon also said the infamous line “Ain’t Nobody Coming To See You Otis” was adlibed & rubbed the cast the wrong way. Paul played by Christian Payton & Eddie played by Terron Brooks used their real singing voices. You forgot to put the pop up on Lahman Rucker who played Jimmy Ruffin. Melvin is the uncle of Rick James. Mel Jackson is Captain Jump The Shark. Can we please get reviews on the following biopics:
The Jacksons An American Dream
Selina
Why Do Fools Fall In Love
Ray
Crazy, Sexy, Cool
Get On Up: The James Brown Story
The New Edition Story
The Bobby Brown Story
Big Red’s office hours were 9 to 5.
Next week’s review is The Five Heartbeats.
@ShaeNik She’s already done a review on What’s Love Got To Do With It.
And also address the colorism in 5 Heart Beats. They didn’t have a single black woman on there aside from Diahann Carroll. The rest were light skinned multi-racials, particularly the love interests
@@kaylao.3326 The only dark skinned love interests were JT’s & Dresser’s wife. JT abandoned her for Tanya who was light skinned. Here’s a fun fact: The late Whitney Houston was supposed to play Babydoll & Vanessa L. Williams was supposed to play Dresser’s girlfriend.
@ShaeNik ua-cam.com/video/dqxlLifRZOg/v-deo.htmlsi=pIt2P28FbMekTdWI
That Jacksons biopic went PLATINUM in my house 😂 I still say “I don’t want you” like Angela Bassett
You better ease up, and that car better be outside lol
that pusher man wasn’t playing with David🤣
@@bhadkittysholl wasn’t lmaooo
🤣🤣🤣
Temptations is not my favorite movie but it DOES have my #1 favorite movie SCENE of all-time. And it's that ENTIRE part where David sneaks onto the stage and takes the microphone from Dennis in order to perform "Ain't Too Proud To Beg".
Everything about the scene is great to me, the slow walk to David approaching stage plotting his whole plan 😂.
During the performance how Blue and Otis were pissed at David but they had to hold their tongue to keep the performance going
The run-off David did off the stage, the confrontation afterwards "WITHOUT DAVID RUFFIN, Y'ALL AIN'T NOTHIN' 🗣"
and then of course, the song itself is amazing. I love everything about that scene 🙏🏿🙏🏿.
A special shout out is needed for Mama Rose's (Jennifer Lewis) cornbread and everything else she cooked. The food was giving looks, quality, quantity, and high blood!!!
Strong on the high blood pressure! 😂😂😂
The dedication to make it authentic was commendable. They sang the actual songs
“My office hours are from 9 to 5.” 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
That’s the five heart beats
I love this movie! This and the Jacksons were iconic in mini-series. Miniseries were really hitting back then. I now get how Paul and Al are alike- they were outspoken alcoholics as well. And Leon will always be fine! Fun fact: Rumor has it that Otis was engaged to Patti LaBelle. It was called off because he wanted her to be a housewife. I knew you were gonna do The 5 Heartbeats! Another iconic and meme worthy movie!
That was true. Patti herself said it.
Leon said he ad libbed the line, “Ain’t nobody coming to see YOU, Otis.” Thank goodness he did!😂😂😂
BTW this also won a primetime emmy as well as an NAACP Image award … but nobody remembers it for that
I knew my guess was right yesterday that car and cornbread is to iconic 😂😂
“Ain’t nobody coming to see you Otis” 😂😂 classic
Jennifer Lewis is an All Star ✨✨✨✨
@@cadillacdeville5828 I honestly wanna know how she sounded as a child. Like her tone, volume and diction. Was she super quiet or just as boisterous as now 💐🥰
' hi Jo.. Im Flo ' 😂😂😂😂 I dont know why but that part always kills me LOL much love to the Temps ❤ one of the best groups in music history 🙏🏾
There must be a heart in the house tonight because we getting The Five Heartbeats after this! ❤❤❤❤❤
Had this movie on repeat. All these years I’m still crushing on the actor that played Eddie. 😍 Great review as always.
I just read recently the reason paul started drinking was because he was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia which was not talked about in those days
The new edition movie was really good too
I used to think Leon was a real singer cause he was in “The Temptations” & “The Five Heartbeats” 👏🏾👏🏾my ex boyfriend knew every damn word of this movie lol ITS A CLASSIC WE STILL WATCH IT EVERY YEAR ON TUBI
LOVE YOUR REVIEW & FINAL THOUGHTS!
Love the video. I'm currently working on an assignment for my class, and I chose the song by The Temptations, "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" to analyze. This is one of my favorite movies ever, because I grew up listening to the Temptations as well, and Blue reminded me of my Uncle.
I pray you get a on that paper
A
@@lekeciagarland6148Thank you! I hope I get an A, too.
This was my Sunday movie when I was a little kid every Sunday. I would watch it after church on VH1 rock
When this min-series dropped i was 15 and my whole watched this for the whole week. I dont know why but i started crying at the end of this video. I can’t wait for the Five Heartbeats next week
"David and his slow stroll..." 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
They all fit their roles so well, shout out to the casting agent which is often times underrated!!
Although the movie's historical inaccuracies somewhat dulled its appeal for me, certain scenes, like the side-splitting 'ain't nobody coming to see you Otis' line, remained hilariously unaffected.
Eddie and Paul was real close that’s why he went so hard for him and even quit right after they let Paul go from the group
Whenever I think of the Temptations,I think of my grandfather who was a huge fan f theirs and hes the reason of how i know about them.He would play their music along with other artists.When my grandfathers funeral happened,they would play my girl and my whole family broke down in tears.I saw the the tv movie two tmes but wasn't born yet when it came out(I was born in 1999).Whenver I see this movie or hear their music, I always think of my grandfather.
This upload was brilliant, The Temptations biopic was the talk of the town watching it growing up! Can't wait for The Five Heartbeats 🔥!
Aaaaaaaah! The Temptations!!!! Great choice!😁I literally, just watched on DVD, this for the umpteenth on Monday. Been a minute, since the last time seeing it, before. I remember watching in, when it was first shown on NBC, when I was 19.
I'm happy you're doing the 5 heartbeats next...these 2 movies are spiritual brothers! Great review!
Paul started drinks after he found out he had leukemia. Poor guy, he had health issues and using alcohol to help him cope. If you look up their performances on Ed Sullivan show, you’ll see where he’s stiff, and can’t really move like the other guys 😢 he may have a had a flare up.
I loved Eddie but he was getting on my damn nerves thinking Paul could do no wrong!
Yes! He was like a little annoying child.. completely naive
@@GiftedKG exactly!
Okay you can’t be wrong when you’re right, but also the way it plays out with him singing “Just My Imagination” and leaving is actually one of my favorite scenes in cinema. Like the song is obviously about a woman, but everything in actual the scene is giving Eddie having hope that Paul would get better but he doesn’t and it was just his imagination 😔 I love this movie
Well actually if u go back and listen to Eddie earlier in the movie he said Paul would never drank plus it showed him telling David no on the bus that’s why Otis said it came out of nowhere Great review by the way
Red’s office hours are from NINE TO FIVE!!!! Yesss when I tell you have been waiting for a review of The Five Heartbeats for soooo long 😭 I can’t wait.
I remember we didn't have cable and only had this on vcr. My brother and I watched it so much, we reenacted the whole movie 😂
As a kid, I used to think this was the longest movie ever😂
The Temptations are one of my Dad’s favorite groups, the other is Earth Wind & Fire. I love the Temptations!! Their B sides are top tier. Excellent review 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Jennifer Lewis and Loretta Devine are the official mom's of black Hollywood lol. They have played everybody's mama at some point.
I can't believe this tells the story up to 3 years before the miniseries airs. It feels like nearly a century ago!
The 'Boom Kat' counter tho ❤
'The Washington's go to Birmingham' was one of my favorite books growing up! I've read it countless times ❤
17:00 Girl please the way you said, "Maybe both!" had me doubled over 🤣🤣🤣. Man was ALWAYS a menace.
I actually met the REAL OTIS WILLIAMS. He’s a really cool guy. And BLUE DIDNT NEED THEM SHORT RIBS!
My 12th Grade English teacher introduced me to the Temptations when she showed this movie in class
I REMEMBER SEEING THIS WHEN I WAS LITTLE BUT DIDN’T REMEMBER UNTIL I SAW THE NOTIFICATION!!! OMG! 😂 thank you
Welcome back girl!!
This movie brought back a lot of memories. I think I was in the 3rd grade when I saw this for the first time and cried at the end. Shout out to Birmingham, AL (especially Ensley) which is home of Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams! Ok for the Boom Kay counter. And yes, the fellas were Fashion Killas! It’s sad how the powda was the driving force behind the talent 😬. David taking the mic from Dennis was wild!! Like where was security??!?? Goes to show how professional most of them were. Am I the only one who thought Richard (dude who was in the group before the fame) was fine??! Funny enough how the 3rd of September is almost here. Did you do this review to sync up with the date?? Just playing. Although Motown pushed out such great acts, it was a lot of mess behind the scenes. Do you or anyone else remember the scene where Melvin was seen rolling to get the short ribs and it shows him having difficulty breathing? I felt like it was a deleted scene or Mandela effect. Loved your review!!
As for next week’s review, all I’m going to say is TFH!!! From 9 to 5!
Didn’t the actress who played Johnny Mae also played in the movie “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” 🤔
Yes
This movie 🍿🎥 was straight 💯🔥. Ain't nobody coming to see you OTIS!
My favorite group thanks to my parents and one of my favorite movies! I saw the Temptations last year at MGM and I cried as soon as I saw Otis because I wasn't sure if ever see the group with him still in it. I think all the rest of them were dead before I was even born except Dennis. And Dennis is one of my favorite vocalists ever. That man could BLOW!!! Their individual stories are so saddening. That scene where Paul was singing and he was so drunk I cired watching that scene. They acted DOWN in this movie. I will cry big fat tears when Otis passes smh.
Ayyyyyyy!!!! So glad u did this one…this was me and my mama movie 😢may she rest in peace 🙏🏽 miss her so much
I watched this religiously with my grandma ❤
Silent Night is always on repeat during the holidays. No matter which family member house I’m in lol.
I still watch this movies at least once a year. It still hold up soo well that why it is a classic !!
Leon was also fantastic as Little Richard in the Little Richard movie that came out in 2000
“It’s gone be some mess or the show is getting canceled !” 🤣🤣🤣 I’m crying !
This movie doesn't portray how Paul had sickle cell and was in tons of pain by the end. Paul didn't become an alcoholic until after the second tour and when his condition got worse.
Otis said that in an interview. That it was hard to sing so many love songs and their lives were in shambles a lot of the time.
Five Heartbeats, another Leon film
I grew uuuup watching the Temptations!😆 Definitely one of my favorite movies as a little girl. P.S, (Phat Girlz( and (Hair Show) staring Monique are some pretty good Y2k movies to review❤ I just love your breakdowns🔥
“Why you always on the ‘raod’?” “Then ‘dew’ it! Be my ‘fawther’!” 😄😄😄😄
Lmao
Lmao that always takes me out!
😂😂😂😂
Omg you should watch @Im_2good’s parody of that scene 😂
Takes me out every time 💀💀💀
Now you gotta do The Five Heartbeats 💗
Absolutely
Paul turned to alcohol due to the illness he suffered from. He wasn’t drinking just to drink, that was his way to cope with his illness & I don’t think he told the group about it but I do know that he was battling with serious health y
I always enjoy watching The Temptations. It's of the best black biopics. You need to do a recap of Romeo Must Die.
I wish this video was longer but I still love it
This was a movie I watched all the time on VHS and DVD. Also the music in this movie played every Saturday or Sunday morning when we were cleaning up lol.
Your next review is going to be The Five Heartbeats. The Temptations was a tear jerker especially when the members started to pass away.
I'm surprised no one faded with David because 😮💨, he was trying my patience like a son of a bitch 😂
That crazy thing is that Otis line was improvised and it makes Otis made 😂he said it playfully of course he said it used to
At 15:37 you called him Randy but his name is Eddie. 😂
Great show. Great times. My kids loved this movie and knew all the words & moves back then. They in their late 20s now.
When Melvin passes….a puddle of tears always 😭😖
Fun fact The lady who played Jo( Otis girl) was cousin faith in Soulfood😂😂😂😂😂😂
10:34 Apparently after this scene, David beat up Tammy in the car but it was cut off because Otis didn't want to relieve it.
Hey girl 👋🏾 I know it’s been a minute since I’ve been on here and commenting on your videos but I’m here now. The Temptations was & still is one of my fav biopics of all time 👏🏾 from the acting, fashion, music and everything was most definitely a moment. I would do anything to be there if there was a time machine to experience what it would be like. Love the commentary as always. Love you ❤
No lie, "The Temptations in a Mellow Mood" is a phenomenal album.
It's the only Temptations album that i listen to constantly.
In an interview, Leon stated that the line "Aint nobody comin to see you Otis" was totally ad-libbed and that he felt bad about it because people would approach the real Otis Williams and that wasn't his intention. But in all actuality - Otis really was the backbone of the group.💁🏾♀️
18:04 Fun fact: Eddie Kendricks and Diana messed around the same time Diana messed with Berry
I love this movie. It got me really into the temps catalog. Great music. I always feel bad for Paul and Melvin when I watch it
