Imagine what the audition to sing for the Temptations is like. Their voices are so pure. They are the Number One group ever. Otis and Ron Tyson are still alive.
Profiles in Pittsburgh Happy that Temptation sang My Girl to Whoopi Goldberg. Brother dr. Otis Williams is truly a fine vocalist and gentlemen. I'm so glad Whoopi has been with him always showing The Temptations and now I Ain't Too Proud to Beg Musical on Broadway. Love you will be and love you brother Otis. Hallelujah
This is the 2nd best Temptation lineup,right behind the OG's ! Ollie is an AWESOME lead singer ! He has soul and church wrapped up into one AWESOME voice. POWERFUL and CHILLING ! R.I.P. OLLIE !
I put this iteration behind the Dennis led group. Both of which are eclipsed, in my opinion, by the classic Ruffin-led lineup of Eddie, Paul, Melvin, and Otis. They did a good job of replacing the original greats. But as it always happens in music, and particularly in this case, at some point the composition takes on a life of its own, and is no longer the Temptations, as we knew them, but transitions into an Oldies act covering the Temps. They passed that point with Woodson's departure. 👑🎸🎵
Damn…. I left it alone for a while, however every time I come back to listen to this Man, it’s so inspirational. God Bless your soul Ali. “ I wish it would Rain “. What a Gifted Brother
I Wish It Would Rain, is 1 my favorites by The Temptations, l played this song so many times when it came out, l can’t really explain it, except the music, the piano intro, the voices etc- really love how they sang it here as well
These songs bring back feelings and memories that are so precious and indescribable. Reminds me of being a little kid growing up on Willoughby Ave in Bedford Stuyvesant. Born in 1969 just when some of these songs were out or coming out. It was a tough area during that time but still there was something wonderful about it at the same time. It is incredible what the sound of music can do to the mind and body.
What would we do if Motown never happened I totally think we Wouldn’t have all the memories we have because of them . Thank you for so much good times.
Profiles in Pittsburgh Great Evening with The Whoopi Goldberg Show😊 Guest The Temptations🤗 Brother Otis Williams Sings , MY GIRL right into her Charming Face. Ollie Woodson sings out Whoopi , directly to her Smiling Face. This song is now #1 (5 star) forever with the Four Temptations and Otis Williams founder of The Temptations. This could have been on Broadway back in 1992. It is a great performance of our wonderful comedian Whoopi Goldberg playing a sweet naive young lady, enchant it by The Temptations Amen🙏🏾✌️😘🙏🏾.
Normally I hate when Ruffin led Temptations songs are performed but Oli-Ali Woodson really performed "I Wish It Would Rain" with such power, grace, feeling and meaning.
maaaaan, LazyJunco, thanks for postin' this video! I'd never seen this before today, but sure glad I happened across it, now...a true treasure, a jewel, captured just so in time and beauty. Thank you so much.
JJDPRO MEDIAPRODUCTION : One and two in that order......The Tempts had several generations feeling their music. Take 6 had only one generation feeling their music. Greatness is judged by its longevity.
It's funny that Ollie & David looked a bit the similar especially Ollie in "Treat her like a lady"" . He was just an amazing singer. It's jst sad. R.I.P Ollie❤❤❤❤
Whoopi is my girl! And the Temptations were good! Old group up to the new. I believe they all are gone now. Lord I would sure love to be in that heavenly choir when my time is up.😄
Next to David, Ali was the best Temp lead singer. I’m his own way, he was just as good as Ruffin. I just wish there were more recordings of Ali. He should have been so much bigger. One of the greatest Soul singers ever.
Had the honor of seeing them at the Latin Casino in the early 70's. Unfortunately it was the first series of concert tours after Eddie left. "Just My Imagination" was hot on the charts and the crowd was wondering how they were qonna handle this situation. Dennis led and surprisingly put on a standing ovation performance. Felt real good about being there that night !!
@@061romell Trust me, we were just as surprised as you seem to be. He didn't even attempt to sing it in a falsetto range. He simply sang it in his regular range and as I mentioned he performed it so well that we all stood up and gave him/them a standing ovation when it was over.
just the way you said it, too! and it kills me to say that, 'cause David purely broke my heart on it EV-ER-REE time, made me bawl like a baby (and still does, here in y/t videos) .....but when you're right, you're right. Ali went straight to the sho' nuff stuff, here on this one. I think everybody was open at this sad time and the Spirit just showed up and, man, Ali brought it!
I feel almost blasphemous for saying this, but I think that Ollie might be my second favorite lead singer for the Temptations. I might have to put him above both Dennis and Paul, although I love them both. David Ruffin was on another level though. He had a "realness" that just can't be equaled. Seems like everybody else was "performing" except David Ruffin. But as good as it was, the Temps music with Ollie unfortunately wasn't nearly as iconic, but Ollie was absolutely incredible.
Burnell Roques agreed Ollie is my second favorite for lead. David Ruffin couldn’t be out sung by any of the leads after him. They were all doing imitations of David
you better tell it!!! i feel the SAME WAY. david was just unique for his time and he never got to showcase that voice til his solo albums. that ruffy, churchy, tenor with all the soul of a man...that was David and i cant find anyone else like him but a Ali Ollie really. such a powerful couple of men sanging !!
Ollie is the closest sounding to both David AND Dennis perfect mix between the two and on, “I Wish it Would Rain.” Ron sounds very close to Eddie. One of the only times, when Ron does solo stuff it’s different though.

Ollie was after the originals but him in David would have bumped heads if they started together. Ain't nobody like them both.its hard to pick between the two ✌
While all leads for the Tempts were unique and brought something, After David I think Ollie was it..don't get it twisted, Dennis was right there.....they are just the best ever..through all times

Para mi Four Top porque mantuvo a los mismos interpretes por mas de 3 decadas

Ollie Voice ! Awesome . I Love The Temptation , Treat Like A Lady!

Ollie Woods was indeed THE man! He kills everything he sings! My favorite lead singer among them all!!!
I started crying when they did the tribute to Paul, Eddie (both from my home State Alabama) and David 💔RIP to all of them 😞
Same Eddie and my Grandmother were together from Birmingham all the way to Michigan
Literally got goosebumps all over my body
Ali Ollie voice just touches you ❤️
Rest In Peace to Ali Ollie Woodson to it’s really sad man it really is y’all!!
The Temps has great leaders All of them were great!
We will never ever see such talent again. GOD knew exactly where he wanted them to be placed.
He was so incredible

Happy that Temptation sang My Girl to Whoopi Goldberg. Brother dr. Otis Williams is truly a fine vocalist and gentlemen. I'm so glad Whoopi has been with him always showing The Temptations and now I Ain't Too Proud to Beg Musical on Broadway. Love you will be and love you brother Otis. Hallelujah
Sing Ali!!!! He kills I wish it would rain!!!
This is a masterpiece
Ali Ollie, Ali Ollie!!!! I just love his voice!!! RIP but will NEVER be forgotten! Richard Street, Melvin Franklin..all greats!!
Young bloods can't hold a candle to these guys I love em
Co-sign! I think Ollie had the most versatile voice out of any Temps.
No shades at Dennis, David, and Eddie, but he is as a swing man.
soupp187 I totally agree with you. Ali Woodson was my favorite Temptation.
This is the 2nd best Temptation lineup,right behind the OG's ! Ollie is an AWESOME lead singer ! He has soul and church wrapped up into one AWESOME voice. POWERFUL and CHILLING ! R.I.P. OLLIE !
I second that my man.

The Tempts didn't just sing....they sang!!!
Mayme Clayton
The Temptations are just great, I don't have words to describe how much they have given us in their songs.
@@bettywilliams9633 Ali Ollie Woodson
❤
Olí was fierce Love his voice❤❤❤
Masterpiece this is !!!
Damn…. I left it alone for a while, however every time I come back to listen to this Man, it’s so inspirational.
God Bless your soul Ali. “ I wish it would Rain “. What a Gifted Brother
Ollie just wore me out! Thank you Mr Woodson, thank you!
I Wish It Would Rain, is 1 my favorites by The Temptations, l played this song so many times when it came out, l can’t really explain it, except the music, the piano intro, the voices etc- really love how they sang it here as well
I love all the temptation and their songs
Ali was just amazing lead singer with the Temptations. He will always be my favorite.

David had pure showmanship! I'll keep saying this MY GIRL the greatest song ever written!
Ollie Woodson was a "bad man". That brother was hell of a lead singer.
Iktr
yes the Brother was Rest well Brother Ollie 🙏
The Temps' were so good, they sounded the same whether live or recorded. Ooth and so much more.
What would we do if Motown never happened I totally think we
Wouldn’t have all the memories we have because of them . Thank you for so much good times.
The temps had great lead singers. Alli, Paul, Dennis, and David were my favourites, but all of the temps were fantastic vocal artists.
They went to church on these songs ...yes they did I LOVE IT
Richard Street is soooo handsome...
Love me some him...❤❤❤❤
He most certainly was fine.
Lawd hammurcy! They killed. Pure magic!
I heard him singing a peabo song in an Atlanta night club on campbelton rd. back in the day just before joining the temps. What a talent!!!
I one of greatest Voices. Love his voice from Treat Her Like A Lady. Touch Me . Truly Missed 😢
Oh I miss this. I love it

OMG I truly enjoyed this had to share
Now these are The Temptations that I grew up with. I didn't know about the originals until much later...lol
You can't beat The Temptations. Many groups have tried to top them, but everybody has failed.
The Four Tops will give them a run for their money. No debate. Just my opinion. Have a bless day.
@@lindataylor5704 Same to you. Of course, The Four Tops and The Temptations will always be Motown's greatest groups.
Normally I hate when Ruffin led Temptations songs are performed but Oli-Ali Woodson really performed "I Wish It Would Rain" with such power, grace, feeling and meaning.
Man O man, I feel the exact same way... And those few high notes, was simply heavenly!!
True
You must be a young buck: AM old school Mr. Ruffin threw down
Wait, am I the only one that thinks Woodson is actually lowkey the best lead singer they had?
@@dougie3829David Rufin una de las mejores voces junto con Melvin
Ilove this jam
beautiful!
My favorite of all
You better sing Ali. Love me Ollie Woodson! Rest Well Love💔
Ali was the one. Damn that voice was heaven sent.
What nice dedicated concert :-)
killed it!!
Thank you for the memories
OH! For the good ole days...These wonderful gentlemen sang baby the sang...What gets better than them, than they...oh my lawd!
There's never been another group whose Harmony was so soulfull rich and toneful as The temptations
He was extraordinary
I remember when they first appeared at the Apollo theater. They were top notch. At that time you saw about 7 acts in a show.
He was a icon
Angels singing
ELA CONTINUA GLORIOSA .ELES MAIS AFINADOS E ENCANTADORES . LINDOS!
He killed this jam
maaaaan, LazyJunco, thanks for postin' this video! I'd never seen this before today, but sure glad I happened across it, now...a true treasure, a jewel, captured just so in time and beauty. Thank you so much.
me too
Ollie was the man.
YESSSSSS, that man didn’t play !!!!
He was so smooth
THE GOATS!!!!!!
amazing..
Ollie put S in soul!
Damn Ollie sound so good!
Rest in Peace Ollie !!!!
This was the best line-up of Temptations.
Huh!? Second best
Amazing
It's official The Tempts and Take 6 are baddest vocal groups ever!!!
JJDPRO MEDIAPRODUCTION : One and two in that order......The Tempts had several generations feeling their music. Take 6 had only one generation feeling their music. Greatness is judged by its longevity.
THE DRAMATICS AND TEMPTS ARE 1A 1B
Don’t forget boys to men the Manhattans and the stylistics
As long as there's Christmas you'll here Ron Tyson voice he killed silent night timeless record 👍
Glenn Leonard sang first tenor on "Silent Night" and not Ron Tyson
That's Glenn Leonard he was with the Temp's before Ron
This was my 2nd favorite Temptations lineup, Otis, Melvin, Ali Ollie, Richard Street, and Ron Tyson
He was the man
He was the empress of soul
It's funny that Ollie & David looked a bit the similar especially Ollie in "Treat her like a lady"" . He was just an amazing singer. It's jst sad. R.I.P Ollie❤❤❤❤
He was so fierce
Wow whoppi was getting that money I didn't know she had a show
Being famous has taxes. If she ess getting g paid she would have ownership and not what master allows
Ali was a bad man!!! That man could sing.
Whoopi is my girl! And the Temptations were good! Old group up to the new. I believe they all are gone now. Lord I would sure love to be in that heavenly choir when my time is up.😄
Otis is still alive
How old was Richard Street when he passed away and what. Of??
Really sad looking at this Temptations line up and knowing that only two of them are still alive
I had the pleasure of meeting them when they came in a restaurant I work
Next to David, Ali was the best Temp lead singer. I’m his own way, he was just as good as Ruffin. I just wish there were more recordings of Ali. He should have been so much bigger. One of the greatest Soul singers ever.

"Just My Imagination" was hot on the charts and the crowd was wondering how they were qonna handle this situation. Dennis led and surprisingly put on a standing ovation performance.

You live in NJ? I used to go to the Latin also.
Dennis sung just my imagination?
@@061romell Trust me, we were just as surprised as you seem to be. He didn't even attempt to sing it in a falsetto range. He simply sang it in his regular range and as I mentioned he performed it so well that we all stood up and gave him/them a standing ovation when it was over.
Ollie was a beast!!
I wonder if this was Richard's last or one of his last performances with them.
Ali Ollie Woodson had soul and voice ...my favourite singer after David Ruffin. God bless his soul.
Ali a perfect replacement for David and Dennis
just the way you said it, too! and it kills me to say that, 'cause David purely broke my heart on it EV-ER-REE time, made me bawl like a baby (and still does, here in y/t videos) .....but when you're right, you're right.

the best of the best,
Greatness
Ollie is dat dude.
They are nothing but a tribute group. They should be called: The Imitations!!!!!
Ollie was the 2nd best lead singer after David! Underrated singer!
My personal best temp lineup.

I might have to put him above both Dennis and Paul, although I love them both. David Ruffin was on another level though. He had a "realness" that just can't be equaled.

Roq Ollie captured the vocal essence of David Ruffin more than Dennis Edwards, but all three were talented elements of the Temptations.
you better tell it!!! i feel the SAME WAY. david was just unique for his time and he never got to showcase that voice til his solo albums. that ruffy, churchy, tenor with all the soul of a man...that was David and i cant find anyone else like him but a Ali Ollie really. such a powerful couple of men sanging !!
