@@Debrabuckwill It was actually Paul Wiiliams-I was also impressed and a bit surprised because Dennis Edwards didn't to that Lead to my Girl. Paul's voice had a serious tone and raspy texture that grabbed you as you listened. Dennis did most of David Ruffin's Lead vocals after he left the group, and their voices were both so amazing with a similar range.
The Dramàtics run for there money, my mom dated Otis and they sanged at her 16 birthday party, her and eddie was like brother and sister. Detroit in the house motown forever.
But, people. Listen up, listen and see the GREAT "PAUL WILLIAMS" VOCAL, ALONE! COME ON NOW GIVE THIS "MAN",HIS RIGHTEOUS PROPT'S!!!! CASE IS "CLOSE"!!!!
I have heard Dennis Edwards say that Paul Williams was the heart and Soul of the Temptations. Also he mention how much Paul helped him when he joined the group.
I've missed you since the day you died paul, Eddie, Dennis, Melvin, you all left us way too soon. My God the stunning good looks and impeccable harmony takes my breath away. I cry as I write this. You guys brought happiness to all of us in the hell of veitnam. It made us smile and forget. Back round music at home. You were the only thing I had at times. It's a lesser world with out you. Rest easy fellas. And. Thanks again.
It's too bad that they don't make variety shows like this anymore. I'm a Gen-Xer and 70s Baby who caught the tail end of such a classic era in both music and television that, for whatever reason, can not and will not be matched or topped. Not even from today's era. Thank you Paul, Eddie, Dennis, Melvin Kaye and George for such a legacy creating performance. Rest in heavenly peace. Thank you Otis Williams, the Temptations' Soul Surviving member, for continuing the legacy of this monumental musical fraternity. Salute.
Please don't forget Otis. He started the group. He managed them and kept them in line. And he's the only original member still here with us and still keeping the Temptations going strong.
Thank You Paul Williams For Your Help And Dedication As An Honourable Member Of The Greatest Soulful R&B Group In The History Of 20th Century Pop Culture!
Can someone please put this on dvd! Paul Williams singing "I Gotta Be Me" was the best part of the program in my opinion! The Temptations are the GOAT!!!!!
Paul absolutely stole the show on this. Every time he took the mic he took that special to another level and so on point with the dancing. He truly was the unsung hero of the group. Pure class. The whole show was very entertaining
If there's any more shows out there featuring the Temptations like this, please share them... I truly enjoyed this show, and the fact that I could run it back to my favorite parts as much as I liked, was amazing.. the skit with George Kirby was a hoot, and Paul is my man on that solo, and the ending song was befitting the show.. Loved, Loved, Loved, this show ❤
To think that none of these talented TEMPTATIONS guys are still with us; except for Otis. The last to pass was Dennis, on February 1, 2018. Dennis was from Fairfield, Alabama.
I'm glad I can experience the music of the 60's through UA-cam! The Temptations will forever be one of the greatest male groups to ever grace the stage. They were built on the right things I love the interplay w the Temps and George Kirby
Money and the seeking of fortunate and fame has destroyed and taken so many of our great people to the extent of distinction. My my my if only we could learn to put the Lord first and ask His blessing in all we do and keep us clean and whole in the process our lives and conditions would be so much better. We the people need to get back to basis. D. Pitts
Thanks for sharing. As big a Temptation fan that I am, I never saw this show. I am a vinyl collector and have 23 Temptation albums from 1964 into the 80's. But this was a special event. Especially hearing Paul for the first time singing My Girl! What a great vocalist! I have shared this with my daughters and son-in-laws! Temptation fan forever.
have you always had your vinyl records? over the years i lost mine and this new way of doing music i hate. it is like they don't want us to own anything. i miss holding the record in my hand
Many I have owned since back in the 60's. However, many have been purchased from vinyl stores around the country as I travel for work. Granted, they are more expensive these days to purchase due to demand. But I enjoy the search! It is the only thing that I truly enjoy shopping for these days. I can spend hours in a vinyl store trying to find that golden nugget album.
All the temptations are good in their own ❤ I love all of the temptations equally not just one. Eddie Paul Dennis Otis Melvin all put their own flavor into the group. And same when it was Eddie David Paul Melvin Otis everyone added their own flavor .
Paul Williams was so special and over looked to David and Eddie.... Paul Williams sing that song "Got to be me" Dayum Dayum.... Smokey should wrote Paul more songs.....he is my favorite temp.
Paul , I adored Him Sooo Much! What a VOICE,,, WOW, He was AWESOME, SEXY and I Truly ENJOY HIM, I can watch My Favorite Temptation EVERYDAY! ❤️ Love You Paul! Wanted To See HIM!
Eddie was from my hometown, Birmingham (Ensley) Alabama. As was Paul Williams and Dennis Edwards from Fairfield. When Eddie died, my mom, sister and I went to the funeral home to view him. We saw so many stars from Motown.
Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this. I thought that I would never get lucky enough to see this in my lifetime. Amazing! Greatest group ever!
Great video. This reminded me of the scene in The Temptations biopic. "It ain't about the money. Our music, that's who WE ARE. You think the jacks are going to get behind a bunch of sellouts?" ~ Christian Payton as Paul Williams
Wow! remember this when I was a child. We had this album; my siblings and I used spend all day playing our part in being one or the other Temptations. Just funeralized my Mom two days ago, and this is really bring back memories of her when we were little ones. Wonders of youtube!!
Revin ,Dennis is good, yet Dennis would tell you himself ,we ,were missing something and thats not to put your observation down but Ruffin was an entertainer and I was just thinking while watching this "Wow if only Ruffin was here,cause we only have him doing spot performances not a full hour show like this one.Man I saw David Ruffin at the Apollo and THAT was both a singer and entertainer,that man was superbad , also dont be lieve all that crap you hear and read, now some is true but not to the degree the media would have us believe.
Tunes342 you don't have a clue what you are talking about. when David wss there he led most of those iconic somgs,butt when they fired him they tried to spread the lead around more. You can't replace David Ruffin
Stop fishing for an argument. What I said is fact. The Temptations didn't miss a beat when Dennis Edwards joined, they continued to drop classic after classic. I gave David his props by saying he was great which he was. First song with Dennis was Cloud Nine and it won Motown's first grammy, a classic hit song and many classics followed after. Facts.
We all were super slim back in those times because food wasn't as big a deal as it is in these present times. Fast food chains didn't exist yet either.
God bless you for posting this....have owned the 1969 record for 17 years and it's great to actually SEE it....btw so far I noticed the Kaye Stevens song at 15:18 is not on the record album....Interesting surprise...
Paul was soulful big time.
Melvin Franklin had the deepest, purest bass voice I've ever heard.
Paul's powerful, beautiful, soulful baritone voice could always be heard above the others and his steps were unmatched. Paul is The G.O.A T. 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
duuuude can’t believe i just heard paul sing my girl. awesome.
THATS EDDIE KENDRICKS

Didn't he do a phenomenal job?!?!
bing crosby
A lot of their songs were written and inspired by Paul's voice alone
Never can get my eyes off Paul
Me too. I can’t explain why.
The Temptations...the GREATEST vocal group in not only Motown but the HISTORY of popular music!
Hands Down
Yes the ABSOLUTE BEST group!
The Dramàtics run for there money, my mom dated Otis and they sanged at her 16 birthday party, her and eddie was like brother and sister. Detroit in the house motown forever.
Say it "AGAIN", VERY LOUD AND SO VERY "RIGHT & SO TRUE"!!!
THE "BEST AND THE GREATEST, VOCAL GROUP IN R & B!!!!
But, people. Listen up, listen and see the GREAT "PAUL WILLIAMS" VOCAL, ALONE!
COME ON NOW GIVE THIS "MAN",HIS RIGHTEOUS PROPT'S!!!!
CASE IS "CLOSE"!!!!
Dennis Edwards is a handsome man with a good stage presence and a very strong voice RIP
Dennis was downright gorgeous.

Paul Williams his voice is haunting, a deep sadness....... I love him....💗
I have heard Dennis Edwards say that Paul Williams was the heart and Soul of the Temptations. Also he mention how much Paul helped him when he joined the group.
Paul's voice was the greatest temptation.

Paul should have sung for once in my life
I luv me some PAUL❤
I’m glad they let Paul show off his talent! Way to go guys👏👏👏👏
Can someone please put this on dvd! Paul Williams singing "I Gotta Be Me" was the best part of the program in my opinion! The Temptations are the GOAT!!!!!
Oh YES! Paul was singing that Song! Realistic Voice in ALL HIS SONGS
yes i know someone that can
I love Paul and his voice. But listening him singing that song makes me sad.
Well you might be just right
For once in my life Paul Williams sing the hell out of this song
The Tempts harmonies sound even better live
Melvin Franklin spoke of the loss of Paul with tears many years later.
was it on an interview?
The movie?
Paul and eddy voice is out of this world!!
I never knew they had their own show. That was entertaining.
Paul absolutely stole the show on this. Every time he took the mic he took that special to another level and so on point with the dancing. He truly was the unsung hero of the group. Pure class. The whole show was very entertaining
Paul was the best dancer, followed by Melvin.
@@jamiegumm4398True. That's why they were usually the 2 in front. The others were not great dancers
So much Paul Williams... I'm in heaven!!!
Incredible 5 part harmony. 5 God given incredible voices.
Their stage presence was smooth , almost like slight of hand . These songs are the story of a generation , my generation.
With the addition of David Ruffin, I love these guys. Thank you all for showing me how to perform on stage as a group.
Paul singing My Girl should have been longer. What a revelation!
If there's any more shows out there featuring the Temptations like this, please share them... I truly enjoyed this show, and the fact that I could run it back to my favorite parts as much as I liked, was amazing.. the skit with George Kirby was a hoot, and Paul is my man on that solo, and the ending song was befitting the show.. Loved, Loved, Loved, this show ❤
@robina pittman why don’t you dammmmm share for once in your life instead of being a freeloader!!!!
I have a playlist if you’re still a fan

Hi beautiful world of music lovers, I'm MOE 22, SIMPLY Paul, Paul, PAUL, I love GREAT SINGING!!!!
David Ruffin was great, but the Temptations never missed a beat once Dennis Edwards joined. Temptations Forever
Tunes342 No they didn't. His voice has that UMPH!
Yep. Dennis was incredible. His voice sends shivers down my spine. Soulful like crazy!

1964 - 2024 and they are still My Fav❤ Blessings TTTT
I remember when I first heard those beautiful Black Men singing I never heard a mans voice that high
since then I am hooked on Soul Music 🖤💚❤
Eddie Kendricks was super slim and The Temptations had to have the best tailors to fit these legends clothing.
We all were super slim back in those times because food wasn't as big a deal as it is in these present times. Fast food chains didn't exist yet either.
@@Our_UnStoppableKing I wasn't super slim back in those I was more like a super duper 😊now in 2023 I cam say that I'm a Slim Jim / Jane Take Care
There is just something about a slim fella…. Can’t explain it
Yesssss, I've been looking for this for the longest
Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed this video.
Never knew this existed!!!
George Kirby what a great talent!.
The first person to ever do an impression of Bill Cosby

She must have had a fantastic time with those beautiful handsome men.
Thanks for running this...I was in Kindergarten or 1st grade when this was out...I don't remember seeing my favorite all-time group's special.
We love The Temptations
George was so talented, loved him.
Check out the segment of Kay Stevens with The Temptations. She matched them step by step with the choreography!
Awesome! !!
I wish they would make a box set of this series.
It wasn’t a series..,just a Temptations “special “
Watching was absolutely wonderful❤ Thank you for post it on youtube❤
Thank you DiscoNights. I will enjoy!
Remember watching George Kirby long ago..Loved his singing of this song...Funny and clean comedy without the junk they add today...
