Ali "Ollie" Woodson's voice is so effortless & his range is off the charts. This man was Truly A true gift to the world 🌎 He had swagg before Swagg was thought of.. Not bad looking either by the way!
Ollie was my favorite Lead Singer w The Temptations! ❤️ He had a beautiful, sensuous, multi octive voice range. And a tantalizing, handsome look that captivated audiences. Treat Her Like A Lady and Special were 2 of the top hits 4 The Temptations when he was with them! I can't get enuf of hearing him sing those 2 songs! May he continue 2 Rest Easy n the Loving Arms of the Lord. He will aways be remembered as 1 of the most memorable leaders n the Temptations!
Brother Ali Woodson does indeed have an awesome voice! Now, David Ruffin had a fantastic voice as the original leader of the Temptations, but in my humble opinion, Brother Ali gives him a run for his money!
OLLIE WOODSON HAS A GOLDEN VOICE...NOT MAKING SINGERS LIKE THAT ANYMORE!!!!...HIS VOICE TAKES A SONG FROM ORDINARY TO EXTRAORDINARY!!!! HE WILL TRULY BE MISSED!!
The Temptations are truly a blessed group with successful lead singers. Think: David Ruffin leaves. In comes Dennis Edwards. Dennis leaves, in comes Ali-Ollie Woodson. And were successful each time. Black Excellence! 🌟
I grew up with the Temps. The Regal Theatre, Chicago IL. They, all of them, raw talent. Awesome!! Ollie Wolfson is gone, but, always remembered. Gone but, never forgotten! Loving you always.
True Ollie Woodson fan!And I agree he is truly underrated and we need more singers like this out today to teach the younger generation about REAL R n B.
Ollie Woodson was the Greatest. I love the way he sings high/low so damn good. RIP--so sad throat cancer robbed him of many years of bringing us more of his wonderful voice,
Ollie ' s voice still remains one of the rare gifts to humanity.His soul touch our hearts with such gentleness and feeling.Sing on my brother amongst the blessed ones in Paradise
Ollie was the full package( in my book) Attractive, Excellent Dancer( check out his moves, when they performed, " Treat her like a lady" " My Lady Soul" , on the Tonight Show) Seems like he added just a little something extra in his moves!! He had such an extrodinary voice!! Loved the Raspiness( in a good way) and when he would hit those high notes.The Temptations were blessed to have had him, for the time that they did .Here's a toast to David, Eddie,( my favorite Temp.along with Ollie Ali) Paul, Melvin,Damon,Richard , May they all Rest in Paradise👆👆🙏🙏
This is just another reason why the Temps had him singing lead . A truly wonderful bueatiful voice and we are blessed to be able to hear his greatness. Thanks to God Almighty Yahweh for this gift and praise him in Yahshua Ha Mashiyah's name .
Every time I see this I love it more and more. I mean I can't get over the man. He had a very distinct way of expressing himself and his music and it sure was excellent
Awesome. I would love to see Samuel L. Jackson play Ollie Woodson in a guess appearance version of the Temptations. God gave him a special gift and he did not sleep on it. RIP.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is in reply to wSaKy. I'm just reading the comment you made about Ollie being cut from the Temps twice. HE WAS NOT CUT. He had to leave twice because of having throat cancer and 2 operations. After he recovered from both operations, he came back. He is/was that good, that they held his lead spot for him.
The Temptations always had the quality leading vocalist,such as Paul,David,Olie Woodson,Dennis Edward,Franklin (leading "old man river") and others as well. It's a good team,the backing members are equally good... But there will be star players of course, like Olie etc. I love all of them.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great Singer! All of the Tempts leads were awesome in their own, very SPECIAL way! David was not better than Ollie was not better than Dennis was not better than Eddiie was not better that Paul. They were ALL....SPECIAL!
I was in a city called Pleasanton CA and the temptations were singing and I Will always remember Ollie Watson believe me he made my day!he had such a warm personality a friendly smile and I miss him so much!R.I.P
God blessed him with this beautiful voice. He was special to me. Happy birthday Ollie Woodson. RIP you gave your all and your best. Blessings to your family.
Profiles in Pittsburgh 🖤💛 Truly groovy song and a blessing to watch their slow moves to the beat of the song. Words Truly Magnificent. Thank you for this song, SPECIAL🖤 Makes My Heart Feel Good, Sister Forever Nora Rose Parker and Family
Ali Ollie woods on was a good friend of mine back in the 70s in Birmingham,ala he was my drummer before he left ala with the drifters, he sung a lot of songs but nothing like he sung with the temptations, u remember he used to practice that signature high note until he perfected it and got it the way that he wanted it, at the a.g. Gaston motel, he will be deeply missed, he was like my big brother and taught me a lot of things not to do with my voice,, like not to hold certain notes to long and how to breath to last through s show, love you Ollie king johnny
ollie woodson....richard street...otis williams...melvin frankin..ron typson...autobots...TRANSFORM!!...and im sick of tired hearing that BOYZ TO MEN are the best r&b group off all time..no they are not..its the temptations..hell BTM cant even get on the beatles level let alone the rolling stones or the who...says uzipolo king of decatur
When your a new member to a successful group, I don't think you should be looked at as a replacement. That's where the confusion starts. How can you truly experience someones greatness if your placing them in someone else's shadow?
Ollie Woodson was one of the greatest vocalists the world will ever hear. He would quickly leave the Fox theater or any major concert in Atlanta with the Temptations and make his way straight to Club 731 on Campbleton Rd and jump right on the much smaller stage from where he just did a major performance and me Ollie Tony Young blood and George Stanley from the Pure Sugar Group would finish out the night live driving the audience insane as we sang almost every hit record that was on the top ten at that time. Ollie was the best ever and he had a special affinity for Tony Young blood who Ollie called a singing fool. We had so much fun back in those days. We will always love you Ollie Woodson R.I.P. from your brothers in the power of music Pure Sugar!
No Comparison. Two Individuals each with unique gift. Talented Individuals in their own right and space. One did not outshine nor overshadow the other. KING DAVID and KING OLLIE...makes me cry😢. RIH🌹
YES ALI WOODSONS' VOCAL RANGE IS THE CLOSEST TO MARVIN GAYE......HE HAS A WIDE RANGE OF VOCALS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM!!!........AND THIS WAS HIS FROM HIS LAST ALBUM......SIMPLY HE WAS THE LAST GREATEST REAL SOUL SINGER!....THAT COULD STILL SING TIL HIS END...
Young folk, ask youseff if you've EVER heard a modern-day vocalist get down like Mr. Woodson. Not to say your art and favorites aren't righteous; just saying that I know for a fact that vocal talent like this is like a diamond found only once a century from deep in the soil of Earth.
I know he was born in "DETROIT". His singing vocals was from down "SOUTH". That "SOUTHERN" voice. That,...make you "FEEL" it "SOUTHERN" voice. Yeh,... that "MOTOWN",..."SOURHERN" voice. I personally miss you "SIR" Oliie Woodson. Dang!!!!! 😐👌😉
I will never forget seeing the Temptations at Radio City Hall in NYC and Mr. Ollie Woodson blew me away with his powerful voice. Motown professionalism was staring me directly in my face. Berry Gordy leadership created amazing,, classy and talented groups. ❤
I came late in appreciation of Mr. Woodson's voice this year. I noticed that all of the songs with him singing lead particularly touched my heart. His voice so enhanced the Temptation's music it was so rich, soulful and unforgrtable.. I hate I missed his live performances. A voice like no other. God bless him.
Yes especial they are and only the greatest ever made I’m just hook on there music wow the temptations music will live on and on my condolences to the families may all rips💜
You can never go wrong with the tall, talented Temptations!!!👍👍👍
Ollie Ollie was special. One of my favorites his voice was so special...RIP

I'll say it for you. He's better than David! Far better range
This is true. He can almost make you forget about David...but since
David left his imprint...you can't forget about David!❤

He was the absolute best!! I miss him dearly.
The Temtations songs bring me back to age 2o and up to now and I still dance to their music.
Have to agree with you on that!
The Temptations are truly a blessed group with successful lead singers. Think: David Ruffin leaves. In comes Dennis Edwards. Dennis leaves, in comes Ali-Ollie Woodson. And were successful each time. Black Excellence! 🌟

You can just feel the soul in that brother's voice!!! Beautiful...
One of The Temptation's best songs. I love the execution and the sentiment. Ali was a special talent and his passing still makes me sad.
True Ollie Woodson fan!And I agree he is truly underrated and we need more singers like this out today to teach the younger generation about REAL R n B.
Ollie Woodson was the Greatest. I love the way he sings high/low so damn good. RIP--so sad throat cancer robbed him of many years of bringing us more of his wonderful voice,
lukeloveslauraalways Throat cancer is not what killed him.
He died from leukemia.
So sad.
One thing for sure, the 80's Temps kept the party going
David and Ali- Ollie Will always be my favorite lead singers of the Temptations, because their voices is like fine velvet.
His voice is very similar to David Ruffin.
Not gonna forget about Dennis Edward's in no form or fashion!
@standaman1963 No it's Not!
Ollie ' s voice still remains one of the rare gifts to humanity.His soul touch our hearts with such gentleness and feeling.Sing on my brother amongst the blessed ones in Paradise
Ollie Woodson was a great addition to the Temptations. Excellent vocals.

Fred Bennett yes was Awesome too . The best dancer. Unsung hero Dennis he did Awesome on him own. Video are awesome 😎
@@fredbennett3549 I agree. You forgot about Power, I wonder who she's Seeing now. DENNIS EDWARDS SHINES ON LEAD ON THOSE SONGS.
@@williebowen1043 oh yeah u rite 👍
This is just another reason why the Temps had him singing lead . A truly wonderful bueatiful voice and we are blessed to be able to hear his greatness.
Thanks to God Almighty Yahweh for this gift and praise him in Yahshua Ha Mashiyah's name .
Brotha Ollie had a great voice with great range💯
When I look up the definition of Soul,I see a picture of Ollie Woodson. He was SPECIAL. Thanks for the musical memories brother.
Wow. His voice was so unique.
The range in A.O.'s SMOOOOOOOOTHNESS was never ending. May you rest in peace. Temptations Forever !!!
Ollie and Bobby Womack sound so much alike!! 💯🙏🏽.....LIVE IN ETERNAL SPIRIT ALWAYS ANGEL ANCESTORS 👊🏽 🙏🏽
Ali , what a voice, easy listening and was a special fit with Otis and the Temps.
Every time I see this I love it more and more. I mean I can't get over the man. He had a very distinct way of expressing himself and his music and it sure was excellent
Awesome. I would love to see Samuel L. Jackson play Ollie Woodson in a guess appearance version of the Temptations. God gave him a special gift and he did not sleep on it. RIP.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Ollie Ali Woodson was the BEST tenor lead that The Temptations ever had!!!

Aslan Lion Yes Ollie Woodson was that Good! Listen to this Awesome Voice.
Dennis Edwards was the one getting cut
So much soul,in that voice
RIP ALI OLLIE WOODSON YOU ARE MISSED.
a good lead singer with awesome background makes for perfect music...
In my personal opinion this was the greatest line up in the history of the group.
Now this is true talent folks!!! I love this song! Rest in peace brother Ali Ollie Woodson!
The best lead Singer that the Temptations ever had..
The Temptations always had the quality leading vocalist,such as Paul,David,Olie Woodson,Dennis Edward,Franklin (leading "old man river") and others as well.
It's a good team,the backing members are equally good...
But there will be star players of course, like Olie etc.

David Ruffin is my favorite and will always be
They play off each other so well. I love songs when Eddie comes in with those high notes, adds such a good touch
David Ruffin Was The Greatest Soul Singer Ever And The Best Lead Singer Of The Temptations
Listening to this Silky, Smooth, Soulful Song Makes Me Feel " Special."

RIP lead singer Ali Ollie Woodson.
My mom absolutely loved Ollie. I then fell in love with him after hearing and seeing him in person. That man had some pipes on him.
I was in a city called Pleasanton CA and the temptations were singing and I Will always remember Ollie Watson believe me he made my day!he had such a warm personality a friendly smile and I miss him so much!R.I.P
I too loved his voice and seeing him and the other temptations in person was great.

Do you have perfect pitch like Ali did? How in the world can someone without PP compete with PP singers like him and Luther? I'd think impossible.
Johnny Alexander rest in peace!
Ollie had such a beautiful and powerful voice
Ollie was always my favorite lead for them even though David was first Ollie changed their whole sound
David Ruffin Was Vocally Better Than Ollie Woodson. Love Ollie, But He Wasn't David.
Ollie waa definitely my favorite lead for them
"So VERY Special, to me, you see".
Great I love & miss you ❤️ love you Ali Woodson
The greatest group ever of all time God bless

No Question. Woodson was clearly the best front man for the Temps
David Ruffin Was By Far The Best Thing That Ever Happened To The Temptations. I Love Ollie, But He Was Second To David.
I agree. He was truly underrated.
The best singer
Love Ollie~
This planet has just lost an unbelievable singer in ali woodson....He saved the temps thru the hard times....IN MY BOOK HE WILL BE MISSED!
