      The very worst part of that era was that drug & alcohol treatment/ counseling was not a prevalent thing, if you had a problem like David Ruffin & Paul Williams did the fix was to kick them out and that's what Otis Williams did (I believe) I don't think David Ruffin or Paul Williams would've died at such young ages if they would've had more support from Otis Williams when they lost both those guys as far as I'm concerned THAT was the end of the Temptations those guys were irreplaceable whoever came along afterwards it just wasn't the same.

      I was just a little girl when they were at their peak. My dad helped me buy my first transistor radio in 1965 (space age technology). I was 9. Dad tuned it into the local radio station. And I was hooked. R and B, soul, rock. Still rocking in the free world, at 63.

    How anyone cannot get up and dance when they hear these guys is beyond me. Their greatest hits are always a favorite to listen to. An exceptional group with beautiful vocal instruments to share with the world. Best music era ever. We were indeed fortunate to have grown up with Motown, us 60s kids. Blessings to you all!

    Epitome of smooth; I love the choreography: the way they isolated Melvin and Eddie during the “fee-fi, fo-fum” part; the way that the Tempts don’t just form a static, line straight across at all, they form up two and two, one plus one plus three, etc., to keep it visually exciting; plus all of the classic stage craft/ etiquette that’s missing from most “drop the mic” acts of today.

      Most shows of this type required lip-synching back then.
      If you want to *really* hear them blow, and blend, (while dancing, btw) catch any of the YT clips here of them performing live on the Ed Sullivan Show.

    They were a staple piece in my home as a child. My father had EVERY album they made. And in his heyday, he too sang with a small group in some of the small clubs in NYCs Time Square, Harlem, Queens and Brooklyn.... And I watched as he and his members practiced their harmonies and steps.... The Temptations were the group they aspired to come closest to. Great memories!!! Thank you for sharing this 👏😊💙
