@@fredicagoillanoise1309 yes Lord 🤦🏾🥺💔
He was Great ❤
Why talk about this looking back.its a grieving moment we do. Not need this info. It makes you sad very sad.really do.not any thing about this situation.😮
Yes he was a Hidden Gem and his voice on Don't Look Back🔥💓 may he R.I.P 🙏🏽
@@doriswashington7477then move on. Just GO. You people preach about this crap and hurt yourself trying to get as much scoop as you can. 😂😁🤣
My favorite song by Paul Williams is " I want a love I can see" rest in peace Paul, your fans still love you!❤
Yes, he really sings that!
@@DianaLafleur-wp8lg Like you said dear Diana God in heaven knows what truly went down concerning Paul Williams and He as Romans chapter 12 I believe verses 17-18 says Avenge not yourselves for give place unto wrath.For it is written,Vengeance is Mine I will repay saith the Lord!We all give an account for our deeds and those responsible for his death shall before him and the Lord Jesus Christ will give the same.
@@DianaLafleur-wp8lg mine too.
YES!!!! I was SO happy to hear it on a Walmart commercial during the 2024 holidays!!!!
Mine too always have been. I am 70 now and it's on my playlist.👍🏾♥️🙏🏾💯
His brother lived upstairs from us on Cardoni in Detroit . I saw him the same week he died. He looked fine to me. I was 13♊️
😢
He wasn’t well, he had sickle cell so took alcohol to help the pain. His family were devastated that his death certificate shows alcoholism no mention of sickle cell
Plus his funeral was at my church on Taylor and Claremont , my grandmother lived on Lee Place and Claremont 😀
I go through an economy size box of kleenex when ever I hear paul sing FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE . God bless and keep this wonderful human being embraced in your love . I'll miss you till I die paul. You were so underrated it sickens me. Thank you for giving us something all the gold in the world can't buy your beautiful voice .
I love that song too.
Paul was a fantastic singer and dancer.
My favorite Temptations member. Rest up Paul 🙏🏾
Mine too. Even when Christian Payton depicted him in The Temptations Movie...so much swag, charisma, uniqueness, & talent. Definitely my favorite.
Sad story. Proof that fame often comes with struggles. So much respect for Paul and the awesome Temptations. RIP Paul Williams. 🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾
Right it seems like most people from those days either was on drugs really bad or died from drugs or gif killed and got scammed out of money or got beat by men. I mean the industry has always been a mess.🙏🏾💔😢
Side note. I see why Ashanti chose her mom to be her manager and her dad is always with her and even Nelly also. Keep our precious Gems that God created with so much talent safe at all cost🙏🏾💯🤞🏾😘🤎💪🏾❤️
I am a big Temptations fan. My due date with my 1st child Sept 3rd. I was so happy. My son come early and was born Aug 18th. RIP Paul Williams. Great talent.
Paul is my favorite Temptation his charisma, style, vocals, and choreography were all unique in its own right and unmatched. He was an absolute brilliant and beautiful man who got caught up in the bs of limelight. I don’t believe he took his own life but only God knows. RIP Mr Williams 🙏🏽✝️❤️🌹
Nor do I
@@Sophisticated_Lady444 Someone else knows if he was murdered
@@DorisKeith-v5j there’s a long rabbit hole about it…
The movie was AWSOME 🔥 🌟 🤩 👍
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
In 1973 I was only 13 going on 14 years old. I always remember the Motown music because my parents were always play music in the house even though we went to church. My sister was 12 years old but when our parents went out we used to run and sneak and play our parents music 🎶🎵. Quite naturally it was The Supremes, temptations, Marvin Gaye and many more of the Motown sound. Long story short by the time I became a young adult about 2021 years old I remember hearing the story about Paul Williams. Deep down in my heart I do not believe Paul Williams took his own life. Very handsome man blessed with a God sent talent can sing his butt off.... I believe someone set him up. Lost his life is such an early age and still write the day I still believe someone took his life I do not believe he took his own life. It's just a sad situation so I I feel like this whoever done it if there is still alive today I wish you'd just come forward it just breaks my heart. I can only imagine his wife and his children how they feel. Play Paul Williams rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️. And I pray that one day the truth will be revealed. Going too soon but never forgotten. As long as we listen to their music and watch the videos he will always remain in our hearts.
I was born 6 years later but I've heard various stories of Paul Williams death.
🫡"15yr Olds in the🏚house"NYC"✌🏾
I Was 2 Year's Old Then But If he was murdered and I believe for sure he was that person is Dead already and is in Hell because I believe they never asked for forgiveness for that sin
Gun in the right hand but inflicted wound to the left temple. Definitely not suicide.
Hell no if you right handed the wound would be on that side so no he didn't shoot himself 😂dirty world we live in.
I have always felt that Paul was a sacrifice
Me too
Hell All of them!! Otis the only mf still standing
@@DAS412_ So so true....wit his controlling a$%
That's ridiculous!!
@@DAS412_ it's always the ones that can't sing live the longest
Loved the tribute for Paul Williams. He put the T in the Temptations. RIP Paul. You are truly loved by your fans.❤
My mom was good friends with Esther Gordy Edwards. Nobody in the city of Detroit believed the suicide story. There was talk of the Detroit Police being involved. I remember the night he was found dead. Rest in peace, kind brother Paul!! 🙏🙏🙏
@@chrisclermont456 ikr envy
I heard it had to do with Motown, his death
I heard the same thing. After he was let go by the group, he was recording as a solo act for Motown. His drinking got the better of him and I heard B. Gordy had Paul ‘eliminated’.
On my Humble Opinion I Truly believe that he was the TEMPS BEST Dancer !!!!
Yes, he taught them all the steps
@@stanleygay7579 Yes he was!!
🎼Please don't leave out his vocals🎵😍🎶!
Soar high Paul ✨
Even when you watch the Movie, Christian Payton depicts him so well, & your eyes always go to him when he dances. Such a tribute.
He was their choreographer ❤
I hear he was murdered by his girlfriends husband. I believe it. They need to reopen this case. Rest easy Paul , my favorite Temptation
I agree. They once said it was a robbery/ mugging but that was ruled out since Paul had his money & jewelry still on his person. Not to mention like David Ruffin even said how can a person be right handed but the bullet entered the left side of the temple and rule it a suicide
I remember the death of Paul Williams, the news stated that he committed suicide in his park car. The news didn't say anything about a girlfriend,s husband. Back in the day we had Right On magazine for the stars, it kept us updated on the stars.
My favorite Temptation, too
@@RobbinHobdy If he'd offed himself in his parked car, then how'd he end up OUTSIDE of the car, half-naked?
What'd he do, made sure the car door was open, shoot himself, MISSED the first time, then hit himself the second round, rolled out the car with a liquor bottle in his hand, DROPPED the gun FROM THE WRONG HAND when he hit the pavement and just lay there, DEAD??? 🤣🤣🤣
Nice try, HOOLIGANS that committed this crime!
Whomever killed him, left too many loose ends to say this was a suicide. They REALLY thought they had it in the bag with this one, but failed MISERABLY! Now, there are TONS of misgivings, questions and doubts. 🤷♀️
Probably Otis
Look at these handsome men🥰
They were all over 6 feet tall. What a sight to see them in their prime.
My hometown is the home of 3 of the Temps...... Dennis... Paul... Eddie!!!! Birmingham Baby!!!#205
Actually Eddie is originally from Union springs Alabama but came up in Birmingham
@@LarryJohnson-wk2nqwell the world is such a better place with Mr. "Actually" standing by!! Smh
@@robinnewmanburtona fact is a fact.
You right Bham blessed from God I love Bham!! the Sheraton hotel is one of the finest I'd come to CITY STAGE street with Mrs Lee Bell Kendrick Eddie's Mother and we had a wonderful time together we were very close I'd stay at Eddie's home w his parents and go to church at 1st Bapt Church of Insley on Sundays Eddie was so beautiful and treated me like a Queen He did I still cry sometimes y God brought us together is a Miracle!!! Nothing was ever going to stop me it happened and I thank God in Jesus Name Bham Ala oh I knew dearest Dennis Edwards too He was a singer to be reckoned with for sure beautiful to remember that time in Dec I met Eddie and became one another's Spiritually connected I'm Not An Ordinary Girl I was favored by God He alone gets The GLORY GLORY GLORY HALLEUJAH HALLEUJAH HALLEUJAH AMEN AMEN AMEN
He was married and had a girlfriend. Clearly the state of his body is not suicide.
Many people are in that situation without getting murdered
This was a deliberate murder. I read that The Temptations let Paul go for his drinking. The alcohol soothed his pain from Sickle Cell Syndrome but he couldn’t keep up with the group. I even read that someone at Motown Records had him murdered because of his drinking affecting the group to the point that The Temptations let him go. RIP, Paul Williams. 🙏🏾
My mom said this until she passed. Paul was killed. But of course his murder is left unsolved.
Reopen the case
Same sacrifices we have to this day, in this era. Our most meaningful people who touched the world & made impacts to our lives & culture, taken away from us too soon.
I Want a Love I Can See, I still play it all the time. I was 14 when I heard the Temptations sing . 73 now.....and they are Always In My Heart. All of them were 6 ft. tall.
I play this song so very often and think about the days when life was so much easier. Me and my sister cha cha to this song whenever I have Alexa play it👌🏼❤
Their early songs_my favorite was "I Want a Love I Can See" with Paul leading then "Paradise" Eddie led.
“Don’t Look Back” is my favorite Paul-led song. 😘
I knew Paul well and spent time with him over the years. A kind and truthful man. I'll always savor the memories ❤
Out of "THE CLASSIC 5 LINE-UP"; "PAUL WILLIAMS IS "MY FAVORITE TEMPTATION"!! "PAUL WILLIAMS.... R.I.P."!! 🙏😇✌️👌👍🙏
Wat was he like? Pls tell us the good and the bad. Just trying to get an ideal of one of my favorite temps I wasnt alive at the time
@TravionMcadory Paul was very down to earth. Great sense of humor. Funny, soul full singer and great dancer. He was very kind to fans and would sign as many autographs that he could after a show. He was very close to Eddie also. The main problem was alcohol which wasn't good for his health. I often think about him and wish he was here but honored to have known him...
@@lonniereynolds7895mine too, RIP Mr Paul Williams ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss of a good friend in Paul. I read that Paul only drank to lessen the pain from his Sickle Cell disease. RIP, Paul. 🙏🏾 Paul seems to have been a warm and loving man. 🥰
LOVE all this old footage
My favorite song by the temptations Paul Williams As'e leading vocals Peace n Paradize to all 💚💚💯!!
I want a love I can see is one my favorite temp song Paul was lead vocals
@@toddgoza3522That should have been a hit!!
Great informative look and tribute in the life of one of the music industries best and brightest entertainers who sadly is gone but who's contributions and memory will never die, thank you Mr. Williams for all the electrifying good times and unforgettable memories, Rest in Peace.🌺
Scripture say you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.
@@LindaSmith-m7y it sure does bur the problem with that is ...The scripture says many things yet people don't do them Proverbs which teaches wisdom as well yet people don't follow it apply it or live it, It's one thing to quote scripture and another to be obedient to God live it and apply it and it be a way to think and live by, quoting scripture alone and not doing anything more is like faith without works, if people had followed God's instruction noone would lack noone would be poor noone would suffer or experience or go through the countless things that plague people and the country and world overall but people didn't want to accept God or his commandments his teachings and instructions. People wanted to go their own way make their own laws live their own way on their terms and mock God, took him out of schools, found fault or tried to discredit his word complained and gave their man-made logic and advice and through it all it all failed as people look across this country and world can see, it's wall to wall chaos and destruction, all morality respect regard love righteousness ALL gone or leaving the earth, people created curses by their disobedience and the monster is out of hand now
My favorite Temptation 💔❤️
I always wondered why he and David Ruffin's death was mysterious
What's mysterious about David being so strung out on drugs that his death was inevitable? David was my favorite Temptation but he had his demons and they unfortunately caught up with him. Paul, on the other hand, was having an extra marital affair.
It looks like he was murdered somewhere and his body dumped in the location it was found.
@@henrilouisecarter2777David had scratch marks all over him and looked like he was drowned. They burnt his clothes at the hospital and he also had blood on him as well. It was more than an overdose he had over 50,000 on him
It's not so "mysterious" when you consider the lives these two were leading. David's involvement in drugs, which he could've EASILY owed drug money and THAT'S what I think was the source of HIS demise.
Paul, who had MULTIPLE affairs, kids and alcohol addiction and, quite possibly, depression from having Sickle cell disease, all while trying to maintain his standing in the music business, WHILST coming at Berry Gordy with "an accounting of monies owed to him" (which back then, YOU DIDN'T DO!) and threatening to expose folks.
Nope, no surprises here!
Facts
@@DallasChesterville40thanks for the information. That certainly sheds a different light on the circumstances surrounding David Ruffin's death.
God don't sleep nor slumber. Karma is real. Vengeance is mine said the Lord. Rest in the arms of love ❤️ Paul.
Amen!!
Amen🙏🏾
@@bridgetwhite9738 guess it'll be in afterlife because those old bastards have sure prospered in this one
the Temptations movie was good , but definitely told from Otis Williams point of view , made Paul Williams death look like a suicide when this could have been murder . and I read when Paul got kicked out of the group he WASNT sitting around being depressed , drinking , and begging to be let back in. he still continued to write and record music and almost formed his OWN band . the movie got that wrong
I turned 19 in 1973. But I remember this just like it was yesterday. So sad 😥💔
God knows who took his life and God will fix it on Judgement day 🌹⚜️🐊
He my favorite Temptation singer love whe he sing on my favorite slow jam."Heavenly " kids nowadays don't know nothing about REAL MUSIC l miss those party and Blue light in the basement party in NYC
I love all the Temptation ❤❤❤❤2024
"The Elgeons, like the watch?" The Temptations Movie
😂🤣🤣 I know right? Which I'd never heard of !!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@cher_sh Elgin was a popular brand of watch like Bulova or Rolex
Paul is my favorite Temptations. I didn't know he had a girlfriend, and the mystery surrounding his death. Rest in peace, Paul 🕊 💙
This was quite an informative video and great tribute to the late Paul Williams who contributed so much to the music industry. He obviously dedicated himself to music and went through so much. Because the cause of his death remains a mystery, it's sad to think that it's possible that Paul died not knowing how appreciated he truly was. Rest in peace, Paul Williams...thanks for all you gave to us!
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️

❤ Temperature the
Definitely not suicide. May Paul rest and the truth come out.🙏🏽
Music business is dirty! RIP Paul
Heart heavy by his loss. Only The Father Omniscient knows what happened. So sad, he could have lived a long life. Rest in Yah 🕊
Conspiracy theories abound. No way to ever know what really happened. Rest in peace Paul.
Well, if you listen to all that's been said, between individuals, news reports back then, this video AND scenes from the 'Temptations' mini series, COUPLED WITH his lifestyle, a foregone conclusion can be had. You just have to read between the lines.
@marciawade9101
Reading between the lines and knowing what happened based upon the facts are two very different things. Innuendo, gossip, rumors, speculation, and even circumstantial evidence are woefully lacking when it comes to saying what really happened without any actual proof.
If I follow your logic, President Kennedy was assassinated by Castro, Lyndon Johnson, the Mafia, and Oswald. Take your pick. All have been named in the myriad "Read between the lines" theoretical analyses put forth over the last sixty years or so.
Oh yes there is.... 70s wasn't long ago in the term of history....
@darkmanxxx8810
Fifty-plus years later, and it's still nothing but gossip, rumor, innuendo, and dramatization. Facts are the only thing that will quell all the speculation about what actually happened.
With each year, they get harder and harder to discover. Unless someone comes forward with a valid confession, I'm not sure what makes you think the truth will ever be known for sure, beyond that.
@bustabass9025 there's ways.... trust me... but long as barry living it ain't happening he was friends with one of the president's sons..... he is well protected and was very protected back in the day.... ppl don't know how dark barry really is because he never seemed like a evil guy but the guy has a mean streak
A Sacrifice
Paul's death never sat quite right with me. He appeared to have a sadness, but given all he was going through, its understandable. But the method and location seems highly suspicious. After all the recent news of industry corruption, having him silenced is something that should be explored.
He had sickle cell disease, he drank for the pain, no meds back then
Paul was a great dancer . Rip
My sister Edie loved ❤️. The Temptations she played the records all the time may she rest in peace 💔. That's how I began to love the music. As you look at the movie Paul was a smooth dancer who stood out more than thee other members. His life was cut short. There seems to be something that doesn't fit right with his death. God will reveal what took place keep praying for Paul's killer his family and most of all his children. May he rest in God's arms.Gonr but not never forgotten.💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏
His strength is admirable. Should Hollywood provide more support for actors dealing with serious health issues like Kilmer faced?
I never believed that, Paul Williams killed himself. I always thought he was murder.
I’m starting to think
that.
He was murdered
Yes, Paul was murdered. No right handed person can shoot himself in the LEFT side of his head. And,….. Paul was found lying dead in the street, too? And wearing only swimming trunks? 😣
I believe that Paul Williams just got so caught up into the mess he had made of his life. Depression is a horrible feeling to deal with. He didn’t shoot himself. The evidence says otherwise. I worked as a crime scene investigator and suicide’s after shooting themself in the head, temple, CAN’T, shoot themselves twice.
Facts 😂so make it make sense really.
@@newnana9070 a good investigative reporter could make a mint just from us temptation fans if they went after the truth about Paul and David With the passage of time people might talk now who were afraid to then and police information might be easier obtained and questioned with exposure
I believe Paul Williams was murdered possibly sacrificed. That is what they do to any singers or rappers that don't want to conform to the demands of what the "Industry" wants from them!
@@newnana9070 don't think they found two bullets in his body or even two spent shells so couldn't one shot have been made earlier or somewhere unrelated to the alleged suicide
He had sickle cell disease, he drank for the pain. Don't think the group knew about the disease, that is why it didn't come out in the movie.
My brother 's were working with Paul during the time of his death 🙏
Wow! Do you know the real story?
They met Otis, Melvin, and Richard Street during a practice at Paul's house. We also knew Paul's brother Marvin Williams.
Okay???
Yo brother ass a suspect then
Paul was and always will be the best of the Tempting Temptations. There was no one else that could dance like Paul. And as suicides go: who would take a gun, you being right handed, and pulling the trigger firing it, and it conviently, discharge, striking Paul on his left side of his temple, killing him. Has anyone tried this, just using your finger instead of a gun😢? It is impossible, and rather uncomfortable to do? Are we the people, so dumb, that we will believe anything. And as for Paul, it really doesn't matter. Nothing will bring him back. However his family deserves to know the truth!
Your voice beautiful and you were a Temptation s General especially dance steps. Love you
His death left a lot of questions 🤔
Yeah, because whoever killed him, thought they'd done a good "cover job", but didn't.
It seemed amateurish and from all accounts the authorities either weren't interested or had incentives not to pursue it
The investigation seems to have been very poorly handled similar to that of David Ruffins death Someone should reopen these cases before the probable perpetrator is gone
Do you think Eddie and David had a good idea or knew what really happened to Paul? I'll bet Otis knows That's how he has prospered
That would explain all the things Motown did to hold back David Ruffins career and destroy his reputation and ultimately stop his comeback
If Paul was right handed, how in the hell, did he shoot himself in the lwft side of his head.😮
Exactly!
@@Stacey-ki4qcThe same thing David said it don't make sense
We know good and hell well that he didn’t kill himself.
The unknown quartet of Paul, Eddie, Kel Osborne and Willie Waller were the Cavaliers.
When Willie left, the trio of Paul, Kel and Eddie became The Primes.
The high profile persona of the late Paul Williams existed because he interacted with many oeople from different backgrounds. His sound revoluntionized the genre.
I heard the two joints Paul did solo and I don't understand why Motown didn't put them out. They were great.
@@fredicagoillanoise1309 because Barry Gordy is a hater
@@fredicagoillanoise1309 Because Berry didn't want competition for Otis's group He knew David and Eddie and Paul would put them out of business Which group would you go see?
@@DorisKeith-v5jAint nobody comin to see you Otis😅
Paul was my favorite
Suicide is a very hard thing to deal with for family and friends, looking for blame,etc.
@@richbumdrop2881 sometimes you have to look at the evidence and face the cold hard facts that it was not suicide
He was the HEART of The Temptations
Paul is my favorite temptation vocally. His voice was rich and soulful. Sadly, he didn't get the attention he deserved much like Florence Ballard in the supremes. I'm from Detroit, and I grew up with his grandchildren through his son Paul Williams Lucas. They are like family, and their grandmother Eva Lucas (Paul's baby's mother) was one of the kindest women I've ever met.
My Moma had the Temptations & I had New Edition The Temptations had David and New Edition had Bobby And we loved them the most !!!
I LOVE THIS PARTICULAR SONG, THAT PAUL WILLIAMS SANG, AND I STILL LISTEN TO IT. PAUL SANG THIS SONG WITH SO
MUCH HEART FELT DESIRE. THAT HE MAKE ME CRY. THE SONG IS "FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE" NO ONE HAS OR WILL EVER
SING THE SONG "FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE" THE WAY THAT PAUL DID. NO ONE!!
"PEACE"
@@iriswilliams2266 Amen Amen🙏
Paul's death smells like a "Berry Gordy Production".
Stop watching Dateline!! Many believe it was a homicide, but those Hollywood stories don't apply in a town like Detroit!!
Many say it was Motown, I believe it
@@angelajohnson1487 Yep.
Are we talking masters, copyrights, etc🤔 @@marciawade9101
I always felt that Paul was murdered! He was right handed but the bullet hold was on the left side of his head, but its ok, the Bible says we reap what we sow! I loved Paul and all the Temptations!
Otis got them all…
I was just about to turn 2 years old the day after his Funeral my Birthday is August 25th 1972 no wonder me and him is Kendrick spirits
Kindred spirits
He died in 73, that means you would have turned one year old.🙄🙄🙄
God, let the true be revealed. Wide open 🙏. Rest in peace Paul. GBNF.
OiloveAlltheoldtempttationsgonetosoon❤❤❤❤
Otis is still alive.
Crazy how in the movie & stories they say the alcohol took over & he killed himself 🤦🏿♂️ RIP 🪦 Temptations legend
They never mentioned that he had sickle cell in the movie. They just made him look like a drunk
Youwillalwaysberememberedasoneofthegreastesgroupthetempationrip❤
I was Only 14 at the time.But his Death is Suspicious to Me. Sloppy police work and back then NO DNA. So the girlfriend had a husband ? I have a Lot of questions ⁉️
Rest up Paul😢❤😢❤😢❤
So young 😢
I have no idea what transpired with Paul Williams during his life lived on this planet. But, I will say that in the 90’s I took care of his mom and although I grew up listening to and loving the music of the magnificent Temptations, I did not know of Paul (he transitioned early in my life) His mom, displayed and shared how much she loved her son & was VERY proud of his accomplishments (as evidenced by the awards displayed in her home).
I’m sorry Paul had so many negative vibes that were used to ensure that he would no longer have the ability to grace those of us that were to come after him. Rest in power Paul ❤
Wow!!
Thank you for Sharing this!
As Paul Williams' Fans, we appreciate that you had the rare opportunity to tend to his mom and you did it with a clean heart.
Be Blessed!
Wow.. that is so special to have been in the graces of Paul Williams mother. Do u have any more stories? Pls share
Wow this was informative of knowing about the original Temptations
Rest In Eternal Peace “Paul Williams” 🙏🏾🌹
In the temptations movie Paul's wife name is Maxine
Paul's wife's name is Mary. She didn't give her permission for her name or their kid's names and likeness to be used in the film, so they changed her name to Maxine.
Wow. Never knew that because of the movie. He was murdered
I love anything about the Temptations. How sad Paul Williams went from the heart and soul of the group to a reduced role.
He was a very talented man. Godspeed 🕊️ 🙏 Paul
It seems that it was a robbery gone wrong or the girlfriend's husband got mad in a jealous rage. No one shoots themselves in the head with their less dominate hand.
WOW. It’s a lot we don’t know behind the scenes. I guess to save the Embarrassment to his family. They blamed it on suicide. SMH
I'm SURE his family knows it wasn't a suicide.
What really happened to Paul R.I P Temptations FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!.
oh wow this is so sad with people explaining more about his death yes it sounds like someone probably silenced him smh and this calls for A reopening of his murder case to me
He lived down the street from me in Detroit
What happened?
Have any stories u can share? And wat did u think of him? Just trying to get an ideal of him I wasn't alive at the time
Wait..one theory is that his girlfriend's husband came home to the house Paul bought for her and chased Paul and shot Paul in the head?
No. They claim it was another girlfriend.
Makes no sense. 🤔🤨😑
If he bought a house for his girlfriend and she was married, doesn’t that mean he bought a house for the husband too?!
As long it's been noone every talked the real truth bout Paul.No right handed person can shoot theyself on the left it's been a cover up and noone is fighting for the truth...And how much was his wife paid to never talk about it.😢😢😢😢We need more story like this first time on here but I will be following to here more storyline 😊😊😊
One thing about it Eddie was Paul true friend ❤
In my opinion and heart, he didn't kill himself, I think he was killed!. They need to investigate everyone and who had beef with him!. Our Technology is a whole lot better now!. RIP Paul Williams!.❤
They all are probably dead now. So what is the point???
@@deloresdoyle4371closure for the family and to know the truth
The Temptations lost a cornerstone when hr was no longer in the group. Two gunshots to his head? Sounds like foul play. He was too dangerous to remain alive to those responsible for his unaliving. May You R.I.Power, Brother Paul W.
This is sad.. too bad it ended in him being unalived.. rip Paul
Eddie was always fine ❤❤❤😂
I hate walking past that 14th street, but he specifically picked that spot because Motown was on the next block
WHATEVER HAAPPNED TO PAUL WILLIAMS ONE OF THE MOST GIFTED OF THE TEMPTATIONS AND WE LOVED THEM ALL. WILL BE MISSED ALWAYS.
HE WAS SO GIFTED. WE WILL WONDER WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO HIM, BUT IF THERE WAS MURDER, THEN I AM SURE BY NOW, WHAT YOU REAP
YOU WILL SOW. ALL OF THE TEMPTATIONS HAD ALL OF THEIR DIFFERENT ISSUES IN LIFE THAT THEY HAD TO DEAL WITH. I HOPED THAT THINGS
WOULD HAD BEEN DIFFERENT FOR ALL OF THEM, SO FAR AS THE SAD TIMES THAT THEY HAD IN LIFE. BUT I AM SURE THEY HAD GOOD TIMES TOO.
I DO HOPE THAT THEY HAD MORE GOOD TIMES THAN BAD. THEIR MUSIC BOUGHT COMFORT, JOY, AND MEMORIES OF A TIME WHEN THE USA.
NEEDED SOMETHING TO MAKE US ENJOY A LITTLE IN LIFE. WHEN EVERYONE WAS CRYING OUT PEACE NOT WAR!!
I HOPE A NEW SINGERS AND ARTIST WILL LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT THE TEMPTATIONS. RATHER GOOD, SAD, OR BAD. TO REMEMBER WE NEED TO
TURN TO GOD IN TIMES OF HURT AND PAIN. IN THE LONG RUN WE WILL BE GLAD WE DID.
JOHN 3:16
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELEIVE IN HIM, SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.
IN THIS WORLD WE NEED JESUS CHRIST TO GET US THOUGH
WE SHOULD LOOK FOR THAT COMFORT
IN THE PROMISES OF GOD
IN THE HOLY BIBLE, IN JESUS CHRIST NAME AMEN
JOHN 10:10
SC WORRIOR!🖤❤️ R.I.H NOMORE PAIN.🙏🏾🕊️💐
I was just a little over 2 years old when Paul Williams passed.
Paul son can really sing I saw him pre Covid 😢
I think that man of motown put a hit on him ..I think alot deaths at motown outside of sickness had to do with him
What about the Song "Born to Love You" on the album Tempting Temptations.
@ErnieSpigmer
Eddie sang the lead on 'Born To Love You'
If he was right handed and was shot in the left temple. How was that possible for him to shoot himself.
