It always bugged me that people watch the TV movie, then see videos of the Temptations and say "Oh damn Otis can sing!" Well if he couldn't sing, Berry Gordy would've never signed him in the first place. You needed true singing talent back then. And the movie completely leaves out how Paul was in constant excruciating pain from sickle cell anemia hence why he didn't look his greatest towards the end of his tenure with the group and focused solely on his alcoholism.
This particular video made me wonder how tall these guys were -- they sure look tall! Eddie was the shortest at just over 6' and Dennis was 6'5". Found one rumor they had a height requirement, as a short guy would throw off the choreography! Not sure if it's true but they sure fit their nickname of the "Tall", Tan, Tempting Temptations!
Ima be honest their ability to blend in 5 part harmony, Otis, Blue, Paul, Eddie then Dennis and David sans the leads like each one could lead a song if they chose to but for one I hate how the game and egos kind of made the original 5 for their separate ways
the music business makes everyone crazy- the way the Temps could blend their 5 unique voices together added up to a perfection that I do not think anyone else has quite equaled. It is a shame because they created a little heaven on earth with their performing.
Rest In Peace Mr Dennis Edwards, Mr Melvin Franklin, Mr Eddie Kendricks, and Mr Paul Williams.
Forgot david even though he aint in the video
@@ariesking6266 he forgot Al too
Dennis's voice had such authority.
Is Dennis the one singing lead on the far right?
@@mikestevenson576 yes..
Eddie Kendricks had a killer voice...
Eddie Kendricks voice was from another beautiful ozone!!! Matter of fact all them I must say this about! Greatest group to ever do it!!!!!
This is priceless!!! I don't think we'll ever come across such voices in out lifetime. These guys were golden!!!
I miss David Ruffin, but the Temps still had it after he left.
I never missed him. I loved this version of the Temptations far more than the classic 5 version
I love the classic 5 but this 5 was unmatched to but at this time the band was going thru serious trouble nobody knew at the time
THESE WERE SOME HANDSOME, FINE MEN…I’m in love with Paul and Dennis!
They were the original Tall, Dark and Handsome...
Dennis fits right in like hand to glove!! What a great song...
Forever PAUL ♥️

That’s why I lost all respect for the movie. The tempts that passed away would’ve thought other wise
Dennis one of the greatest singers
Gotta agree with you there, cuz.
Damn Dennis took me to church🤩🤩
WOW VOCALS ARE OFF THE PLANET FUCKING AMAZING! RIDUCULOUS!
Man, if this doesn't give you the chills and make you want to dance then you're dead. A master class in American popular music.
My favorite part was the whole song
*Covid-19 give this an entire new* *meaning*
I don't know whether to slap you for that or applaud you for it
Can't comment on that one
Eddie is hunk 😍😍😍
People just can’t seem to make really good songs like this, these days.
Raised on this. Still LOVE.
This is just too good, in every aspect

I can see Harry singing this song in his car, or when he's chilling in his flat and it's beautiful.
HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY OTIS WILLIAMS (OCTOBER 30, 2021)
😍Eddie 😘Eddie Eddie😍!💕!💋!💞
Love the Temps
THE GREAT TEMPTATIONS!!!
David Ruffin: "Aint' nobody coming to see you Otis!" Yet Otis was the only thing that kept the group together.
This is music ❤️ the lyrics have life
Oh my! Dennis was such a dashing fella ❤️
I saw him in Chicago I'm guessing 6 months before he passed and he still had it! Wish I could find the footage! 🙏🏽💙
RIP Dennis
Motown Sound with a blend of Psychedelic Rock
RIP DENNIS
If this doesn't touch your soul, nothing will.
Thanks Harry
Great song for being in quarantine!!
All of them are great!
Wow what voices amazing
Eddie aka corn was a boss
Me encanta que Harry recomiende canciones como estas 💕
I think we don’t give enough credit to Otis as a singer, leads of course but especially when he harmonizes. It’s distinct here.
Sorry...Hope Floats the movie brought me here!! Incredible!!
Sounds like The Osmonds will Perform show This song 2021 2022 after the Virvus goes away
wow great stuff i must say
Paul was LIT🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣
LEGENDS

Dennis Edwards was so good looking! No wonder Aretha was so smitten over him that he made a song about him.

Oh Harry Styles

Otis only solo?
harry is being so loud
and I love it
Has Otis ever led a song?
dwoollery I was asking myself that same question, seems like he was just there dancing lol
Don't Send Me Away, I Ain't Got Nothing
Yes he has
Great performance but who was choreographing and dressing the Tempts in the early 70s? The moves and clothes were corny
Anit nobody like'em
Who the hell is Harry styles
Paul Williams is drunk
Damn, sounds like some desperate dudes
not really, these guys were in their prime and I'm sure they could pull any of their fans if they really wanted to.
Wow
