    Talent like this doesn't come our way often. In their time there was no hiding behind technology like we have today to enhance a performance. These guys melded together in such a unique way - from Eddie's high to Melvin's low to Paul's raspy baritone....there is no equal in American music to the Temptations.

    People can say what they want about the Tempts not being the same when Ruffin left, and how Dennis is no David, but I tell you, Dennis Edwards could definitely hold his own, and indeed the Tempts success actually went higher with Dennis. Two Grammys and three Billboard number one hits. Ruffin was Ruffin, and Edwards was Edwards, but the Tempts were the best with BOTH of them as main leads

    I read somewhere that Paul was disenchanted about not being one of the main leads after David came in as he and Eddie sang leads on the popular hits, but I see Paul in a lot of these later clips doing a lot of the singing and I hope that fulfilled his desire to lead. He is magnificent on the standards. Besides having soul, Paul could have been a lounge singer as well (perhaps a little Sam Cooke-ish). I could see him in a tux with the top shirt button undone and the bow tie hanging.

Stumbled on to this wonderful post 2nite, and still clearly remember seeing it back in '69 with a bunch of my TKE brothers when I was a junior at Rutgers. Anyone who was fortunate enough to see them live back then was fortunate enough! Funny thing, I had just texted my 20 yr old daughter to make a good memory at Kanye West's show 2nite in AC.She now is a Jr. at Rutgers.Thanks, Tempts, for a lifetime of many great listening moments.

    OMG! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, AND THANK YOU!!!! I am a FAN until Death! I had the pleasure of cowriting a song for the Late, Great, Mr. Ollie Woodson former lead of the Temptations in the 90s with BrownRice and Al Mckay of EW&F! The song is called Angel and it did well overseas. My background vocals are on the song. I feel so connected to this group and highly favored to have had the opportunity to be a part of TEMPTATION HISTORY!!!! I AM SOOOOO IN LOVE WITH THIS ORGINAL LINEUP!! THEY ARE FIYAH!

    I know it's all opinions but I think Paul was just as great as David and Eddie. He sang lead on their early songs which may not have been chart toppers but he certainly held his own.

    • @504boi8wd

      Well if it's about opinions, then I absolutely agree with yours. And in fact, I believe that it is not even open for discussion that Paul was as great as David and Eddie. I think he could have even been a leader of the group! Given Paul's talents such as his voice and it's unique qualities, his singing style, his moves, etc. unquestionably, Paul was never only a mere back-up singer for the group.

    Today is November 18, 2013 and 18 viewers found something to dislike in this marvelous Temptations Show of 1969 where Paul Williams was still alive and singing some tunes which included his former Temptations member, David Ruffin's signature tune 'My Girl' along with Eddie Kendricks' silky smooth falsetto on 'Girl ( Why You Wanna Make Me Blue'), 'You're My Everything, and Melvin's near copycat rendition of the earlier Flamingos treatment of Ol' Man River' which still shines, and talented but tragically flawed alcoholic Kaye Stevens manages to not only hold her own against the fabulous Temptations, but actually also shines in her too brief turn w/the Temptations.

    I have waited many years to see this show. Thank you very much. I love the part when Eddie had finished sing his part and was suppose to get back on stage and ended up doing his steps down on the lower platform.Priceless. Kay Stevens showed she could dance and sing with them. All these years all I had was the album. Now to see it Wow. Merry Christmas to me. Thank You God.

    As far comparisions of the individual Temptation, each gentlemen (David, Paul, or Dennis) brought their own talented
    uniqueness and contributions towards the Temptations' great musical legacy. Just continue to enjoy and support the music.

    Paul Williams had the biggest crossover potential out of all the Temps because he was the best with the live show tunes.
    He also had a natural theatrical presence. I believe he could have done well in film or theatre.

    • @VD-USA21

      Totally agree! Also other songs" that Paul sang Lead on, I think were caught between end of doo wop and Motown years of highest pop crossover years.
