Whose still digging the tempting Temptations in 2022!?! It’s Motown baby❤️
2024, Temptations Forever!!
I love what Shelly said at the end...
Love, loyality, and honor.
No contracts needed.
It truly was a different time back then but this, _this_ what Shelly said, was real actual love, loyalty and honor in the purest of humanity.
The world needs WAAYY more of!
These guys are in their 80's + and they had decades and decades of success and now just get to enjoy doing what they love.
I remember the first time I heard The Temptations. It was 1965 and I was 17 years old. I lived in Johnstown PA, a little factory town 65 miles east of Pittsburg. To help me sleep I used to listen to a cheap, terrible sounding transistor radio and late at night that radio could sometimes pick up stations from far away. I don't know if the station I was listening to that night was from Pittsburg, or Detroit, but a song came on that gave me chills, and started my lifelong love of a very special singing group. Over the static filled airwaves I could hear a group singing in beautiful harmony what I thought was "Magic, magic, talking about magic". Needless to say I would soon learn that what they were actually singing was "My girl, my girl, talking about my girl".
Classic post!
>lqq
Lol yeah 🤣 exactly MAGIC 💯 MY GIRL GREATEST LEAD AND HARMONY BACKGROUND EVER, MAGIC!!!
First time was on Shindig they sang MY GIRL! The next day they were the talk of the town!
What a nice story. Thanks for sharing it. My dad passed a few years back. I recall my dad telling me that the temptations couldn’t be touched. That they were baddddd. Music had feeling back then. I’m just grateful my father and grandmother passed it down to me. Every other weekend we’d go to grandmas. She’d play all the 60’s music. But during Christmas the temptation album stayed on repeat.
I'm 69 , and I am still a fan of the temptations.life was great , with them in the world.may they all R.I.P.🥂
With Otis and Smokey together there ain't none better love you guys and God bless you
@ Laura Albritton
AMEN!!!!!!!
As a teenager in high school in 1966, the Motown Sound is what kept me alive!!! It still seems like yesterday and keeps me feeling young!!
The best R&B group EVER!
Featuring EDDIE KENDRICKS
David has a GOD sent voice. I’m so sad he let fame and drugs control him. He’s such an icon.
yes he was! so sad! he had so much talent he was very underrated too rip Ruff 💕
Cocaine is a hell of drug David Ruffin I am rich devil is dope dramatics another story devil is dope 😢
Idk about fame ruining him but there’s no “let” in drug addiction. That’s why we call it hooked. Ever see a fish on a hook⁉️ Addiction destroys. Fame won’t stop it. Feeds it if anything. It kills. He wasn’t the first, he made the biggest smash 💥 but he won’t be the last. PERIOT.
Fantastic first chapter, I'm 50 living in London, England and love Motown with all my heart, it touches me in a way no other genre of music has, and all these years later I'm still trying to put my finger on the exact reason why I love it so much, the only reason I could come up with was....well it's Motown,
Thank you all, each and every single person who worked, and continues to work on this beautiful music.
Peace and Love xx ❤️🙏❤️
What a great start of 2022!! I love taking woodward south to downtown it’s one of the greatest feelings, I love passing Hitsville as well and I just love living 20 minutes from downtown i wouldn’t ask for nowhere else to live.
I Love it
This is great
Fantastic writers and musicians at Motown. The Temps had the look and the sound.
David Ruffin died today 1/6/1991. Rest in eternal peace, David 🙏

Wow I enjoy all these amazing singers! Going to Smoky's Robinson concert soon, here in Hawaii! I started listening to his music when I was 12yrs. Old,now iam 67! Love me some Motown music forever! 🙆♀️🤙🎼🎶🎹
David uplifted this group to its max potential. If he never would have joined; they wouldn’t have been who they were. Smokey seen it which is why he stepped in. Things changed when the 70’s got closer.
I’m about to be 35 years old and seeing old school footage like this from the 60s makes my day !! Glad they recorded and documented all this stuff to share 60 years later
Rest In Peace David Ruffin
💕💖💕
And Eddie Kendricks,Paul Williams,
and Melvin Franklin.
So glad Otis is still with us. ❤
"Greatest guitar lick in history " from MY GIRL.
My favorite group even today ❤ I’ve loved The Temptations since I first heard them back in 1960 when I was 6 yrs old. Temptations Forever 😊❤❤
The Temptations- known for their smooth choreography and distinct
harmony- Happy Detriot is my roots!❤❤❤

Phenomenal! I grew up in Newark listening to these cool cats and other Motown Artists. This video was incredibly reminiscent of the sound of the times and the culture from whence it emerged. Can't wait for the next installment. It's so good for my 65 year old soul. 😎
Great story of the history of all those associated with this legendary "Motown Sound " , Keep'em coming. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

🎼love the Tempts🎼
Still love Motown and the Temptations to this day.
Raise a family, oh, yeah, with 2 children, maybe 3,maybe 4.......i.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🦊
Thank you all for this! I have been looking forward to this documentary. All of this history is just wonderful, to say the least! Truly the greatest of all time!❤️
Wow...cant wait for part two.
An AD popped up on Facebook of the Aint Too Proud to Beg Broadway tour, and here I am looking up footage of the show. lol. But I came across this video. I was born in the 90's, but grew up listening to The Temptations because of my dad and older cousins. I absolutely love Motown! This video footage is such a treasure! It just shows how successful Motown has become because of each person and the culture that they had back then. They were all trying to make it, but not compromising integrity. What a beauty.
Ich vermisse diese seelen-Musik und das feeling der 70-er Jahre als diese Musik unzählige Herzen zum erblühen brachte..
Otis and Smokey, thank you for sharing>3. I LOVE Motown interviews, testimonies, documentaries, movies, and the TIMELESS music goes without saying. I will never tire of watching. I look forwared to seeing more.
You are both absolutey right, I toally agree, with all due respect to the other labels, they know as well, Motown has a family sound/an amazing winning unduplicated, unmatched formula/magic that to this day no other has been able to measure. And supporting each other, a huge facet within itself. That's real teamship/family. A major key to success in any company/group,etc. Each artist having their own Legendary and outstanding style very beautifully knitted. The class, elegance, style polish- the excllence. Allthough the artists are greatly talented enough, sending the them to school was genius and really paid off. I wish that others had done the same. It says a lot decades later, the truth speaks for itself. Looking at most, if not all of today's amazing talents as well as all of the Legends throughout the decades -present, great example Beyonce', were greatly influenced by Motown. And that fresh stayiing power/polish shines right through. In my opinion, looking troughout the decades, Motown stands out. Period.
Sending love with lots of hugs to you all/the whole Motown family/your families>3. God bless>3.
Motown was a well oil machine love this documentary!!!

I wish the world today had this kind of unity.
so grateful I got to visit Motown in May 2021. I got to stand in the spot that David Ruffin did his vocals for I Wish It Would Rain. I love Motown music more than words can express 🖤
Thank you Motown for all the great Groups & music over the years🎶🎙💯
Growing up in Detroit during this time, then working a few blocks east of Hitsville USA are still precious memories. What a great time to be alive!

The temptating Temptations five of the most dynamic voices in the history of Hits viels.
Barry borrowed 800 dollars... and made an empire of music! Amazing!
Wow this was very good ! I just wish it was longer ! (You left me craving more ! ) And i love the way Otis Williams puts his outfits together ! Very cool ! Thank you for this !
The soul music 🎵 machine at it's very beginning
I love Smokey Robinson. ❤🎼🎸🎤 Hi is the Best of Detroit Music. 👍 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸
Nobody can touch The Temptations
It worked and has last because of 'Unity'. CONGRATULATIONS
the temps were the soundtrack of my youth
So glad these pioneers of Motown included Mr Smokey Robinson, Mr Otis Williams and all the rest of these treasures. The fans like me, are delighted these artists finally received money payments, not material things only. Their money is their money, but, Cadillacs belonged not to the individual artist unless they were paid and chose to buy one for themselves; how wonderful it was for the truth to come out, that drugs were also given to artist, that can be named to pay that individual rather than cash money or traveler's checks. We all, Motown artist fans, their families and especially themselves as a group or solo artist got tired of the playing games, these valuable gems and jewels were not s-l-a-v-e-s nor working for the enjoyment only for others, the fight and struggles continued longer for some than for others. Know this, enough is enough!
