They were all amazing and each one had a style that could not be copied they all stood out from tenor to the Bass them guys were spectacular music you could listen to all day i really miss those days Sugar Self Durham North Carolina True Devotion
The group was and still is the best Group ever .It hurts to know how each passed away .The only one still keeping the group alive is the one starting the group Williams I feel this was his purpose .I had no idea there were so many Temptations. The only ones I claim is this group and after seeing them and finally at their reunion I got my 💋 from Eddie. (David Ruffin)also in original they had so much going for them ❤❤
Paul, the original showman in The Classic Five. His singing and dancing made him the first black male soul group front man. His voice distinctive, his moves seamless to the beat, and well blended with the lyrics. Rest in peace. You left us way too soon, but your voice, style, and choreography will last forever. 🎤🎩👞
Yeah I can see he is in pain… same with T-Boz from TLC. I was watching her performance and I told my family she looks like she is in pain and sure enough after that performance she went to the ER with complications of sickle cell
The BEST TEMPTATION LINE UP! Often imitated but NEVER DUPLICATED. Tall,Tempting, TALENTED and easy on the eyes. LEGENDS and the yardstick which future groups would be measured by.
No problem the writers wrote for certain artists. In the beginning it was Paul and Eddie the later Eddie and Melvin. Later David. Then Richard and Dennis.
@@bernadettehudson3346 He was The Temptations early lead; he and Eddie Kendricks hailed from Birmingham, Alabama. "Meet The Temptations" (1963) features Paul Williams on lead. He also was the group's first choreographer. When they acquired David Ruffin in 1964, he and Eddie Kendricks were doing leads and co-leads. Paul got lucky with the "B" side of "My Baby" . "Don't Look Back" became a hit. However, David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks voices were more marketable, in the end.
@@StunningShay you got good taste in music . That last performance is something that you no longer hear from artists today . Todays musicians use electronics, computers, and auto tunes, not enough attitudes, attitude reflects on passion
I think it is unhelpful to debate which Temptations member had the best voice. Each singer had a different style and range: Paul's voice was rich and solid; Eddie's was light, airy, and angelic; David's was raw and commanding; Otis' is fluid; Melvin's was a deep barritone: Dennis' was powerful and diverse and the other members all had distinctive styles. Each man sang well and contributed to the group's towering legacy. I personally do not have a favorite; I enjoy their music and feel grateful that they blessed us with their impressive talents.
Paul is soo underrated man and dude had such a beautiful voice that rich baritone and smooth dance moves he's my favorite member of The Temptations Rip Paul Williams
Had the pleasure of meeting Otis William,last surviving Temps,at the “Ain’t To Proud” broadway stage play.Extremely gracious and humble man..He’s 82 years old,doesn’t look it at all.As I look at this video all the temps singing on stage have passed away except for Otis.According to the play based on his book,he didn’t indulge in drugs and alcohol as the others did..Maybe that’s why he’s still alive..The play was awesome btw.
I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't know Paul sang lead to some of the Temps songs, but what a wonderful discovery to find such a hidden gem.(I assumed it was David Ruffin singing lead on "don't look back" ).😂
Thank you. He could have gone down in history with a long career of greatness. His strong voice and passion would have gone into the 70s & 80s just like Teddy Pendergast
This making me cry happy tears watching them bring back memories im from Detroit and all the motor city songs that came from there im not in Detroit anymore in in Arizona 😢I left when my mommy died just allll the memories it's not the same anymore
The miniseries was from Otis Williams book. You can't take him for his word. Paul suffered from Sickle Cell. They didn't even mention that in the movie. Blue didn't die in his Mama kitchen. His immune system was messed up from taking all those cortisone shots. He died in the hospital. Ruffin & his death was fabricated as well
He was out of control when I met him in 1971 at the Civic Arena Pittsburgh PA. I was security up front an back stage. They were trying to manage him but not very effective I was amazed and shocked as a yout.
He also had the song: I want a love I can see. It didn't chart well, was featured in the movie thought Unfortunately alot of the commercially popular songs won out in Motown over songs like this.The I mentioned above is popular with my children so that tells you that music transcends generations.I wish Paul would have had the opportunity to showcase his talent more and he may not have resorted to things that caused his downfall.What a great talent!
paul william in my opinion is the only singer that emotion is always shown no matter what song many have one or two but paul always brought soul n emotion told the story he is totally underrated
Paul Williams was so smoith and could sing his A off . I love watching all those stars videos . Grew up listening to them with my parents, grandparents , aunts , cousins , and neighbors . Their music will live on forever . ❤
@@landrewilkinson7993Paul Williams was killed. Don't let that jive ass movie fool you. It was impossible for him to shoot himself. The evidence in 1973 proved that even without the CSI technology. He didn't kill himself
Profiles in Pittsburgh I love this song by Paul Williams. It now is reminds me of Otis Williams. Because he looks back and he knows for once in his life that someone in The Temptations bands needs him. Because he kept the group together and we are so very proud of him. Because he loves Paul Williams Junior so much. Nora Parker forever❤
I have watched that last performance countless times and each time, cry a lot of tears. Paul had a unique ability to connect with every song he sang and in turn, connect with his listeners. May he rest in power. I'm so grateful for his gift.
The Temptations are way before my time but I ❤ LOVE THE GROUP! Paul Williams is my favorite Temptation! He had a BEAUTIFUL VOICE and he was the BEST DANCER 🕺🏾 in the group! REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE Paul!!
Of all the Temptations, Paul was the one singer who inspired me to sing. What a great soul - this group is sorely missed. I am blessed to have seen them (Motown Review) at the original Regal Theater in Chicago on South Park in the 60s when I was fourteen. Man I loved this music - thanks for sharing this
And they act like David was the only one that could sing. Paul was an amazing singer also and so much more.
Paul also did some of the choreography. As a bass/baritone myself Melvin Franklin was one of my heroes!
Paul was always my favorite💜
They were all amazing and each one had a style that could not be copied they all stood out from tenor to the Bass them guys were spectacular music you could listen to all day i really miss those days Sugar Self Durham North Carolina True Devotion
They were top original stars .. All could sing

No one can top Paul Williams in my book. He was the total package 😍
My favorite temptation
OnePACKAGE...I LOVE HIM
Same. What a voice!
No sir David then paul
You ain’t never lied
I just want to like this double times!!
❤ **The Dynamic Paul Williams..untouchable vocals (gosh I love his singing Priceless Range)** 🎼 🎶 🎤 'Paul' 🎤 🎶 💋
I will Post this Comment for the Last time...The Temptations were The Best Male group of All Time 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
AMEN.
You’re right.

His moves were slik and smooth
Real,pure, beautiful singing with talent; character is everything.
PREACH
You can hear the richness in his voice and a deep sadness...... Beautiful, bold and hella handsome!!!
I’m so glad I grew up during this wonderful era of music 👩🏻🏫👵🏻👏🏻🥰❣️
I am too🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
He sang this beautifully while suffering from Sickle Cell Anemia. Wow! Happy Birthday Paul! 7-2-2022! Rest in heaven!🙏
Yeah I can see he is in pain… same with T-Boz from TLC. I was watching her performance and I told my family she looks like she is in pain and sure enough after that performance she went to the ER with complications of sickle cell
@@AGrace-ff3cu I always thought T-Boz had Sickle Cell Anemia and Left Eye was the one that had Lupus
@@NesaJ1973 you are correct.
I READ HE HAD KIDNEY DISEASE.
Exactly sad but so true. Too bad they suffered from the demons of the lights and fame

love the tone of Paul Williams voice...The Temps should have let him sing more lead vocals.........
Great singing by The Greatest Group of All Time
No problem the writers wrote for certain artists. In the beginning it was Paul and Eddie the later Eddie and Melvin. Later David. Then Richard and Dennis.
Yes exactly💯..He was THE GREATEST..Vocal, Choreography..Best Dancer..He Was My ❤️LOVE
Paul was one that showed his soul...in his movements, his expression, and his love for his craft ❤😢
Paul was TOO SMOOTH...
I always thought Paul had the best voice out of all the Temps!!
He did have the best voice. He was a real show man.

Thank you for giving Paul his due. He had a beautiful voice.😊
You're welcome - he was overdue for a tribute.
Rest in Peace to all the deceased members of the Temptations! 👍🏾👌🏾🙏🏾
May the ALL REST EASY
My first time seeing Paul Williams singing. He sung with gut wrenching passion. You felt his pain😢. God bless him R.I.P ❤
Paul, though, was great. And he had pure warmth. There was a heartfelt soulfulness. He had that gospel quality. He must have been amazing in church.
AMEN
Paul is soo underrated man and dude had such a beautiful voice that rich baritone and smooth dance moves he's my favorite member of The Temptations

The last song surpassed all the rest that Paul sang God Bless his soul.

Paul was the original lead singer. Eldridge Bryant was fired and David Ruffin was hired.
Paul led a few songs before David Ruffin even JOINED the group!!....
@@gregorybush3224 -CORRECT!....
I absolutely LOVE him and David Ruffins voice so much, that raspy, strong, voice with So much emotion in it 😩🔥🔥🔥
Amen.
I bet he would've love meeting a beautiful girl👈🎉🌹💐🥀
He had a beautiful WIFE and Children, if you saw the true-to-life MOVIE!....@@OnYourMark0831
Sing Paul,He had a unique voice,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’s Music right there.
Paul was the most soulful in my opinion.
Yes but he could be broadway too.
He’s standing on a cupcake. I love this.
PAUL IS MY FAVORITE SINGER AND THE SONGS HE LED ARE ICONIC. WISH HE LIVED LONGER WITH GREATER SUCCESS
The late great Temp. Love always
Paul could do it all. Love the Temptations . No group can touch them.❤❤❤❤
"NO GROUP. " 🙌🏾
I loved Paul William's with that Baritone Voice. The group was brilliant. Paul put the steps together.
This "for once in my life" rendition is the best...Done by a talented Paul Williams.Rest easy Paul!!
The best ever, I watch it over and over. One of my mother’s favorites
Gave me chills, man.
Paul was also great on
2 songs called Then and Just Another Lonely Night .He was truly gifted.
Wow! Paul is awesome on “My Girl”
Thank you. He could have gone down in history with a long career of greatness. His strong voice and passion would have gone into the 70s & 80s just like Teddy Pendergast
he was the best im a long time motown girl. MOTOWN FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hard to sing a ruffin song but Paul made my girl his with that Paul Williams style 💯💪🏾👑
Paul was a master of singing in the right key. Never imitating always creating and interpretating. David sang My Girl in a higher key.
He ain’t no David Ruffin
@@rcthomas6925nah man it was the same key, both C major. Paul is that good

This is priceless Kudos to the late great Paul Williams 👏

Paul as the lead singer in "Dont Look Back", Wow and the harmony puts a smile on your face.
Yes,a smile in your heart that shows up on your face.
Paul was the reason why we have the temptations, his voice and Eddie and Melvin. According to the movie Paul and Eddie did the lead singing
Yes the group got the contract with Motown because of Paul & Eddie's audition WITH The TEMPTATIONS!-
So sincere and tormented. May his soul continue to rest.
Sickle Cell Disease torments a body.

Absolutely Beautiful Paul Williams
4 Alabama boys. This was the baddest male group ever assembled.
"I Want A Love" was also sung by Paul Williams. RIP sir.
Mr. Magic Voice. I love Paul to this day.
Master Baritone, Choreographer, and such a kind hearted and humble man. The G.O.A.T.!!!🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️

@anthonykearney7320
You said something right there-
A Love I Can See is probably one of the MOST UNDERRATED SONGS EVER.
Good point. Since I Lost My Baby is my favorite Temptations song. It charted high but wasn't even played in the movie
That was an Incredible performance by Paul Williams!👏🏽👏🏽🥰
paul william in my opinion is the only singer that emotion is always shown no matter what song many have one or two but paul always brought soul n emotion told the story he is totally underrated

For once in my lthere is no one like Paul Williams.❤❤❤❤
Paul seems to be going through a lot of pain and hurt and it shows on his face, he seems to be crying at the end
TRUE FACT: Mr. Paul Williams was suffering from Sickle Cell Anemia.
"I want a love I can see" is my favorite song lead by Paul Williams.
The greatest group ever assembled. Rip to you greats ❤
Paul Williams and Fred Astaire singing "My Girl" is absolutely priceless
That was Bing Crosby
Fred Astaire was the great dancer. He couldn't sing. He was lip syncing in his movies
Bing Crosby..ba ba boom. Bing and Paul were Baritone singers.
LOVE THE
TEMPTATIONS 🌹
