@@lindataylor5704 it was actually from the temptations movie. That Paul left his girlfriend's house and killed himself afterwards. But others have been saying he was murdered.
I'm a 61 year old man going on 62 The Temptations were a big part of my life that's when music was music fresh crisp clean real passion these men give their heart and soul into the business Temptations made Motown
Melvin’s voice still gives me goosebumps !! His sweet, gentle, caring disposition did not match his strong majestic voice. I wish I had known this talented gentle soul.
who did the group ever stand up for? otis wants to throw paul away like alabama trash and i wont let him, what happened to you blue? you used to have a soul.
Correction: David did not die before being fired from the band as quoted in this video. He died well after he was out of the band and after a few fairly successful solo releases.
All of The Temptations were amazing. But my favorite Temptation will always be David Ruffin. Ruff"s voice was just amazing and it touches your heart in a big way. Anything David sung came from his heart and soul. ❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙
All of them were great legends and their music and voices will forever live in our hearts. Thank you Otis for your dedication with the music industry! We love the Temps….Temptations Forever! RIP fellows…gone but not forgotten! ❤️🙏🏽
The Temptations are, were, & WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY OPINION THE GREATEST ARTISTS IN THE HISTORY OF POPULAR MUSIC! Not just Soul artists like those with limited / no knowledge of popular music tend to classify them as! My Oldest Child / I were lucky enough to have the chance to not only meet , but to also eat with them backstage prior to their concert in my old hometown of Greeneville Tennessee in 2015.AN EXPERIENCE I WILL NEVER FORGET!
The Temptation will long live on in the hearts 💕 of all their fans the 60s 70s 80s 90s they gave so much love with there vocals that blended together that made the sounds that we listen to this day live on my bothers you will never be forgotten
I went to see Dave Ruffin, Dennis Edwards and Eddie Kendricks when they did a tour together in the UK. Sitting there looking at my idols all together singing was an incredible thing to happen in my life. It was a massive WOW!!!!!! moment. 😁
David ruffin was one of the (if not best lead vocalist) of the band at the time . He could definitely belt out the lyrics. It’s a shame his big ego and his drug addiction took him down. I believe if he didn’t have both of those vices he would have taken this band further than they went. Rip David ruffin and all the members that passed most so young.
I TOTALLY AGREE DAVID RUFFIN & THE TEMPTATIONS SOUND'S GREAT TOO ME ( ALL THE TEMP'S WERE THE BEST) MY FAVORITE WAS DAVID RUFFIN I'M SPEAKING FOR MYSELF!! R.I.P.
@@jolenecoleman7461 me too . I loved Ruffin. My dad told me stories growing up when he was a bus boy at the ‘twin coaches’ in Pennsylvania back in the 60’s when the Temptations were touring with the Supremes and all the other Motown groups that one of the temptations (I can’t remember which one) gave my dad $20 to take my mom out and gave them front row seats to the show. Dad passed 2 years ago and mom 21 years ago. He also said he had to go back into the dressing rooms one time and seen Diana Ross with a bra on, she was rushing to get dressed and didn’t even care. There was more stories but I forgot them and can’t ask him now but he said it was a great time for Motown and all those groups
I remember Eddie had 1 lung removed and like a month later went to the middle east to tour with David and Dennis..He never should have done that. Eddie smoked 2 packs a day and hid it well from others..Also Melvin was Rick James uncle and why on Super Freak there is a quick clip of the temps..and Dennis was engaged to the Queen of Soul Aretha but was intimidated of her, well success..lol I never liked on the TV movie the Temps that they were not clear that Paul had sickle cell and why he was always drinking rather making him look more like a drunk.. :-(
This information is not 100% correct,,, Otis is still alive,,,,Temptations and Manhattans were in South Africa in 1996 on Felicia Mabuza Suttle Show and Dennis Edwards and Ali Woodson were there.
I am going to stop looking at these sights that do not have enough Respect for our culture that they can not spend time to go to our sources to find out the truth. The pictures are wrong, they leave out singers, and they don’t even know whether a singer is a tenor or a bass which means to me they are not really a true fan. They are just wasting our time and doing this for likes. If so much is wrong in one video why would I look at any other video.
David,Eddie, Melvin, Paul and Otis all started singing in the church. They left the church for Satan's fame and fortune. What is it to gain the whole world and to lose your soul? Satan's fame and fortune are fool's gold. I rather have Jesus than fame, silver or gold. Almost all of them died tragically and are in eternal hell and regretting the very day that they were born. IT'S JESUS OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE

*_Who was your favorite member of the Temptations that have sadly died? Like the video_*
My favorite was Paul Williams. Didn't know he had left his girlfriend house after an argument. Who verified that information?
@@lindataylor5704 it was actually from the temptations movie. That Paul left his girlfriend's house and killed himself afterwards. But others have been saying he was murdered.
DAVID RUFFIN R.I.P.
If you find out please share they're one of my favorite group's lol.
Eddie Kendricks
I'm a 61 year old man going on 62 The Temptations were a big part of my life that's when music was music fresh crisp clean real passion these men give their heart and soul into the business Temptations made Motown
I truly miss All of the original members ❤
They were the best. My fave was Ruffin.
And Dennis Edwards, too. He made the transition from David Ruffin a smooth and successful one. The hits kept on coming.
Crushing on Eddie
Melvin was a BASS, not a baritone. I only mention this because he is arguably the GREATEST bass singer of all time.
Say it again for EVERYONE! Exactly!
where's the arguement?
Video said he was a baritone. I'm arguing that he was a BASS not a baritone.
Melvin’s voice still gives me goosebumps !! His sweet, gentle, caring disposition did not match his strong majestic voice. I wish I had known this talented gentle soul.
Barry White
"No one man is better nor more important than the group"❣🎵🎶🎵 RIP Their music lives on and blessings to Mr.Willians 👍🏽🙏🏽👍🏽
Did you get that from the movie? lol

Im glad someone said it. These guys make these generic basic videos and don't check everything

I love all of them they were a wonderful group !!
Paul was my favorite because as I learn more about him he was so passionate and you can feel he's pain every time he sings
All of them were great legends and their music and voices will forever live in our hearts. Thank you Otis for your dedication with the music industry! We love the Temps….Temptations Forever! RIP fellows…gone but not forgotten! ❤️🙏🏽

Ali Ollie Woodson was Awesome, everyone of Temptations was Awesome!
Damn yesterday marks 28 years since we lost Melvin. RIP Blue :(
Much love to all of the Temptations. They were awesome. Their music still lives on in our hearts. Loved me some Paul Williams….For Once In My life.
The loves of my very life still today 2023 The Classic Five... and Dennis
TEMPTATIONS FOREVER
The temptations were definitely one-of-a-kind!
Thanks so much for wonderful music 🎶 to all rest in peace

For me it's hard to pick a favorite because Paul and Melvin could sing lead as well as David and Eddie. If I had to pick a favorite it would be Eddie
Now Dennis Edwards was great as well...
@@jamellfoster6029 yes he was
Eddie was and will always be my favorite member! But I also really like Paul as well, he is really slept on.
What a beautiful photo at the start of this video …. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 my guys!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏🏴🇺🇸
So proud..you now rest in peace.🙏🌹
Melvin sang Bass
And was one of the best bass singers in music!
Ali Ollie Woodson was my favorite Temptation.
❤they were the best.i grew up on motown music..😢sad over thier loss
They had the voices of angels
@bethtyree6346
They had the voices of angels, but they lived like devils.😈👹🔥🔥
Eddie Kendrick was replaced by Ricky Owen who was replaced by Damon Harris .
Ricky Owen lasted about 2 days before Otis told him to sling his hook & do one ,that’s how good he wasn’t 😎
They were all good. I'm from MI and put their music 🎵💯😎👍😂🎶😃🙂😉on a lot.
Love there music 🎶😘💕🎵🎼 rest in peace to the members who went home
Mr.Otis Williams hasn't passed away.
Otis Williams the Last Original member.
Otis would still be standing after all the planet was nuked in WW3 .
aint no one coming to see you otis
Why was Otis Williams picture up there? He's still alive.
It's not the Temptations anymore the original ones are gone put new singers in there doesn't make them The Temptations
The real Tempts went into the Hall of fame! Only six!
I remember Eddie had 1 lung removed and like a month later went to the middle east to tour with David and Dennis..He never should have done that.

Ain’t no one turning up to see you Otis!
You're My Everything Eddie Kendrick
EDDIE KENDRICKS
After Dennis Edward left , this group was just the Temptations by name only. I couldn't tell you one song after that.
IT IS APPOINTED MAN ONCE TO DIE, AND THEN THE JUDGEMENT!
They died way too young!!! If only we could go back and give them all the love and support that they needed to get through such a grueling schedule.
All of them had great voices but i really like Otis Williams
RIP Yall 🎈🌹🙏Amen
Eddie looks like Marvin Gaye
Eddie Kendrick born in Union Springs Al my home town
How DARE U DISRESPECT MELVIN FRANKLIN..HE was one of the GREATEST BASSSSS SINGERS THAT HAS EVER LIVED....
The greatest
*Melvin was a bass not a baritone...
AINT NOBODY COMN TO SEE YOU OTIS
This information is not 100% correct,,, Otis is still alive,,,,Temptations and Manhattans were in South Africa in 1996 on Felicia Mabuza Suttle Show and Dennis Edwards and Ali Woodson were there.
Al oh that's the one that bust Paul head 😂😂😂
I know all the members had died, but what about Ricky Owens, Harry McGilberry, and Ray Davis?
Me too❤
David was never lead singer of the Tempts! No one was!
I totally concur
(3:53) FYI That photo is not Elbridge "AL Bryant" but that is *"Ben E King"* the guy who made *Stand by me.* 😁
Kleyon that is definitely not BEN E. KING but Elbridge as stated!!!
@billieramsey5794 Just google Ben E. King and select "Images." You will see the same picture for Ben E. King.
@billieramsey5794 Just Google "Ben E. King" and you will see that photo.
Ricky Owens Born April 24, 1939 , Died December 6, 1996.
Ricky Owens replaced Eddie Kendricks and soon would be replaced by Damon Harris.
"Aint nobody coming to see you Otis: 😂
How did he get Chirossis?
By being a alcoholic
All died young
Thank U, Infinite Intelligence 😇
TEMPTATIONS FOREVER! They were not playing…
OH YES WE DO
Idk why they replaced them it’s just not the same. Eddie is my favorite

The Temptations dead? Not really.
Like my Grandparents I carry them in my heart. So does everyone else.
They will never be gone until we are.
Doesn't Otis look like the black version of Captain Spaulding from house of 1,000 corpses?😂😂

IT'S JESUS OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE
May they all R. I.P brilliant group 🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧
22 that's a lot
You left Harry McGilberry off.
Allegedly DIED OF DRUGS 0D
ALI OLLIE WOODSON????
Paul williams, david ruffin, dennis edwards and ali oille woodson were the truth
Damn they all died young
@PastorTeddyMcLeod-iw2dh
The all die tragically.

foolishly left the church.

They were eternally lost. There is no repentance in eternal hell.

Most of the Motown artists started in the church.
Aretha Franklin also started singing in the church, and even married an unsaved man.
They are not resting in peace, which is the biggest lie said about unrepented sinners.
Industry sacrifices.
There is no drug test in the world that can tell how you induced cocaine
What a waste of talent for those great great entertainers my my may they all rest in heavenly peace. Dorothy Pitts
A lot of short lives. Must be indicative of the occupation.
Npo not sure no other gro6like them
I do not think David was treated fairly by Barry whom was a hard choosing leader whom beat stars out of a lot of money. Pitts
This is bull crap on David
So what.. theres nothing i can do about
Jesus Christ. Died on the. Cross ❌
For. Your sinns. And. U. Can. Be forgiven. Of. All your sinns. And. Be spared HeLL

They can keep them fake temptations 😭😭😭
