When I listen to The Temptations singing Christmas songs it brings back so many memories. The tears flow. I truly miss those days, so many great memories.
All Falsettos of the Temptations are Eddie Kendricks, Ricky Owens, Damon Harris, Glen Leonard, and last Ron Tyson who in 2018 holds on as the longest reign... 29 to 30 years.
Yeeeeeaaah! Even when he sings ballads...he still commands. This is the Ali Woodson era and they had that resurgence in the career. But I looove Dennis!
So many lasting memories of the Temptations working their magic thru the songs that they performed on stage and recordings that they created God knew what he was doing when this group was discovered God bless the Temptations and their families where ever you are
Profiles in Pittsburgh Allegheny County This song Silent Night brings back memories of my grandparents my parents and my brother Joe Parker who took the place of them and let me to hear all of this beautiful music from The Temptations. Everyone needs a father especially the one in the heavens which is our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ Our Lord. Thank you for this video. Your sister forever Nora Parker
I was born in 1954. Yes, it WAS a charmed time! I liked this guy in my school in 1970. I used to walk to his house after school with his sister. One day Michael, he LOVED the Temptations, so he got home and sat down at his drum kit and sang Aint Too Proud To Beg in his basement, I was over the moon in teenage love!
I know I’m hella late but just came cross this video and comment and i swear I was wishing the same thing. This is when music really meant something. Spoke to the soul. Never again💔
Just love the Temps in the striped sleeping gowns and those slippers!!☺ Have watched it countless times for the laughter and joy it gives. Melvin Franklin was the bomb (RIP).
Beautiful. The Temptations were what music is all about. Check out the Showtime documentary with Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson, Hitsville: The Making of Motown. You will see the original recording of "My Girl" and much more. Excellent show.
Uh no it isn't, people love to hate on Otis but he has had leads before and came in on several Tempts songs with verses as well as locked down harmony til this day
@@PearsonJd2 I agree, but sparingly used. He did, no DOUBT have a voice.I do remember him singing lead on Darling Stand By Me from their album House Party.
Here we go again doggin' Otis. Might not have the most earth shattering vocalbatics to come out of Motown, but he sure has done a great job keeping the legacy alive. I think the Temptations are in the studio working on new music right now. "Thinking out loud" and "Earned it" from their last CD works for me.
I think Richard and Otis had an inside joke or bet about Dennis going off script with the lyrics. Dennis, like many great lead singers, was known for changing lyrics as he saw fit and ad libbing a lot. I loved it when Dennis would do this. Dennis had been in and out of the group. When this was taped in 1987, Dennis had just come back into the group for the third time. Otis probably had him on a tight leash because of all the prior issues, and I'm guessing Otis and Richard had talked about Dennis doing this.
@@charlesgray8462 And if that is what was going on, Dennis was probably thinking, "Nobody came to see you Otis...you either Richard. Both of you WISH you could work it like me."🤣
Well guess this song had been recorded in 1980 this is 7 years later Dennis had been in and out the group so I can believe he forgot the lines 😬most of us still don't know what he said when he was talking in the song but it's still the greatest recording of silent night ever 😬
I know a lot of folks like Ron, he's not even close to the one and only! EDDIE KEDRICKS..ALWAYS IMITATED, BUT CLEARLY~! NEVER DUPLICATED~~and when the tempts recorded this awesome rendition ,it was Glenn Leonard who blew the hell out of the tenor lead, not Ron.
You're right but Ryan went into he wanted to be a minister I have a question for you why do Ricky Osborne never perform with the Temptations well he did but not on stage
Ron did a EXCELLENT job on this song and not to sound mean but by this time Eddie couldn't hit a high note as Ron could. I love Eddie K and the Classic 5 but gotta gove the other temptations their just due as well
@@garymayfield5995 That's your opinion I guess, but I think Ron Tyson is a much better singer than Eddie Kendrick was. In fact, I think that Damon Harris was a better singer than Eddie also.
@@bklee2720 You probably think yourself is better singer than him that's your opinion which is probably one out of 5 million,just keep enjoying yourself on your lonely island
I still believe EDDIE KENDRICKS DAID RUFFIN PAUL WILLIAMS RICHARD STREET ARE THE ORIGINAL TEMPTATIONS THAT HAD THE FINESSE STYLE GOID LOOKS ARE HEAVENLY HARMONY UNMATCHED BY ANY OTHER QUINTET EVER RON TYSON I GIVE HIM A 6 COMPARED TO EDDIE EDDIE WAS THE TEMPTS LEAD SINGER BAR NONE IA GIFTED EXTRAORDINARY SINGER MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

Best rendition of 'Silent Night' I've ever heard.
When I listen to The Temptations singing Christmas songs it brings back so many memories. The tears flow. I truly miss those days, so many great memories.
Melvin “Blue” Franklin had a story-time voice
My favorite Christmas of the great Temptations ❤♥️💚
Rons voice was so magical and powerful and Melvins bass and personality was extraordinary. Dennis did his thing as well
I remember Christmas fell on a Friday, December 25, 1987. When this sentimental clip aired!
When all of the Temptations get a chance to shine, it's a beautiful thang.
All Falsettos of the Temptations are Eddie Kendricks, Ricky Owens, Damon Harris, Glen Leonard, and last Ron Tyson who in 2018 holds on as the longest reign... 29 to 30 years.
Your right is now currently 39 years
Ricky Owens came from another group you let on the song called Misty currently with a previously by Johnny Mathis
Ron Tyson’s falsetto was fire back then!
It was the Glenn Leonard was better
Every Black family had these Christmas songs in their home.
The best of times...childhood memories of a house filled with family and the music of Motown greats.
Yes.
watch this.... lol Melvin-Blue's voice 🤗🤗🤗
Dennis Edwards was a LION! What a boss, commanding voice!❤️👍🙏
Exactly !! He was a beast !! That voice is powerful !! His Hummmm is powerful.. lol 😂🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@sugarbowl3 Yes! He had that strong, churchy, deep unnhuummhuumm... That man could straight sing/SANG!
Yeeeeeaaah! Even when he sings ballads...he still commands. This is the Ali Woodson era and they had that resurgence in the career. But I looove Dennis!
I love the Temptations forever
Rest in peace and paradise mr Dennis Edwards. God bless you my friend. 2/02/2018🙏
Next man up but The Thrill is Gone
Back in them days .; we were happy teenagers : life was very magical 😊
I gotta show my gma this. I remember we had it on video cassette when I was little. Silent Night by the Temptations is her fave Xmas song.
tee lovee mine too lol

And you know it
I grew up listening to them! I love them.
Pure fabulousness. Silent night is the best ever.
I think so also
THE WONDERFUL TEMPTATIONS !!!!!!! FOREVER.........
2021 December still enjoying 🍷🍾
We lost some gifted voices are some great talent and wonderful dancers
Beautifully sung by my Temps.
Beautiful. The Temptations were what music is all about. Check out the Showtime documentary with Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson, Hitsville: The Making of Motown. You will see the original recording of "My Girl" and much more. Excellent show.
Assistindo em Dezembro de 2023 e admirando o talento destes homens. Época boa ❤
Smokey gave the Tempts their first hit record.the way you do..Smokey one awesome song writer, you know what!!! LOL!
Silent Night was written by Joseph Mohr and Franz Gruber in 1818.
These dudes could sang!!!!
Show you right when did you first notice
I would have love to hear Dennis sing “White Christmas”
MontanaR1 he sung it on Temps first Christmas album 1970. Temptations Christmas Card. It is great
I remember when this first came on television
That stage was literally on fire when they walked off.
This video is so cute from start to finish. Richard was having so much fun. Those fuzzy slippers just made me laugh so hard.
From 3.49 on the Christmas Song. They should have made this a single. Very nice rendition!
Can someone explain why tv doesn't provide us with entertainment like this anymore?!?!
I remember watching this Christmas special. I have been trying to find it on DVD to purchase?
If I remember correctly someone said they had it on headed on the tape VHS I don't know check with him
LOVE THEM THEY ARE AWESOME WONDERFUL I JUST LOVE THEIR MUSIC
listening to this in may!
Excellent..Oui.
Beautiful!
Aww, that was beautiful.
List the solid beautiful and so are you
Richard Street was having too much fun in the first song, and I like Ron Tyson's falsetto in that chorus
RON TYSON IS A 1ST TENOR
@@williebowen1043 no Ron Tyson is a falsetto
Ron is a natural tenor like eddie, but has the rare falsetto that most tenors cant hit
@@williebowen1043ron ryson was great
U can't beat Silent Night by the tempting Temptations.
You may be number one in my book
They did Wonders on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
BEAUTIFUL 🧡⚘😊
I remember this💞
It's just something totally different" between the tempts. Back then. And the tempts of today....
I Love You Guys Always! ANGELIC!!!
Otis caught me off guard at the beginning. Lmao
Gah Damn lol
What do you mean?
@@lindahines8287 I never heard the nigga sing lol!!
Ever since the movie came out Otis can't get away with nothin'. Not Nat King Cole but he can hold his own a lil bit.
Oldest mainly sang lead on the album first album song called don't send me away and he also made the song may I have this dance
where can i buy this on DVD. the whole special! this was a christmas staple for YEARS!!! We recorded this on VHS and played for years!!
I don't know for sure but check Amazon
Ron Tyson on lead followed by Dennis Edwards
Love you soooooo much Temptations
What a wonderful voice love you Temps
Richard Street
❤❤❤
Took me back yeeeesss!
I was 12 years old here I remember
Temptations 4 Ever
That's the MOST Otis ever sang on ANY song.
Uh no it isn't, people love to hate on Otis but he has had leads before and came in on several Tempts songs with verses as well as locked down harmony til this day
@@PearsonJd2 I agree, but sparingly used. He did, no DOUBT have a voice.I do remember him singing lead on Darling Stand By Me from their album House Party.
No, listen to “I ain’t got nothing” he leads that song and sounds good
Then you need to pay attention more cause he's sung plenty.... Ignorance
Here we go again doggin' Otis. Might not have the most earth shattering vocalbatics to come out of Motown, but he sure has done a great job keeping the legacy alive. I think the Temptations are in the studio working on new music right now. "Thinking out loud" and "Earned it" from their last CD works for me.
Wow I love this 🥰
Dennis easily growling at 1:38....how he do that?
Do you happen to have the whole show recorded? I’ve been trying to find this for my grandma!
Cool :)
Oh my ❤️!
Is it weird I had a dream about Dennis Edwards last night and he had long hair in dreadlocks form but in a ponytail
The cute go temptations
so cute. which elf do i want to spend the night with lol
None if david was one I would spend the night with
Him.LOL.😄
Dennis Edwards I would like a big hug and kiss from him😄
Ali Olie Wodson would always be the best voice of The Temptations.
They all have great voices. But Olie was just something
I fuck with dennis edwards hard cause of dont look any further but i can see homes was on that shit
3:09 Richard and Otis were laughing it up at Dennis expense(messed up his line)
I think Richard and Otis had an inside joke or bet about Dennis going off script with the lyrics.
Dennis, like many great lead singers, was known for changing lyrics as he saw fit and ad libbing a lot.
I loved it when Dennis would do this.
Dennis had been in and out of the group. When this was taped in 1987, Dennis had just come back into the group for the third time.
Otis probably had him on a tight leash because of all the prior issues, and I'm guessing Otis and Richard had talked about Dennis doing this.
I can agree on that and always remember them side eying him and laughing..😂😂
@@charlesgray8462 And if that is what was going on, Dennis was probably thinking, "Nobody came to see you Otis...you either Richard. Both of you WISH you could work it like me."🤣
@@bklee2720 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@christopherbryant366 Don't care he's not even close to Eddie an by this time Eddie had already made his historic mark in music

Today
almost as good as the orig ALMOST
Almost
Almost as good a Bing Crosby?, who was the original.
It's just as good as the original. It's different because of the people singing it. Just my opinion. I just DON'T want to hear it in rap
I love the Temptations forever
