From "aint nobody coming to see you Otis" to all you gon see is Otis
@eazy1eric26 We'll Said💯
This is an underrated Comment😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Temptations is and was my dad’s favorite group back in the day. Right before he passed away in a nursing home, I’d bring my tablet on certain days and we’d TH-cam the Temptations for hours. I just loved seeing his face light up when I turned on these dudes !!! RIP Pops 🙏🏽
That was Beautiful‼️ You reminded me of a memory I had with my Dad who had dementia. He loved Gospel Quartet music. His all time favorites were the Canton Spirituals! When he spent time at my house. He watched them on TH-cam nearly everyday. For Christmas I got him Harvey Watkins Jr 📀 DVD. He loved it! He was a bit of a singer himself. Mostly in church. 💐🕊️ Time is precious. We have to stop and appreciate every moment.
@@rrmosley1 Spoken so beautifully !!! Although our dads are gone , the memories will live on forever !!! ❤️
I Loved the movie and Blu's deep voice and Paul 's dancing. Long Live the Temptations !!!
Yes Otis, was the Organizer and Paul. Eddie and David was the Voices 🕴🕴🕴🕴🕴🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤❤
Ain't nobody coming to see you Otis 🤣
@@kenrickeason That statement is funny but I do think everyone was coming to hear "the group" and then drool over the lead singer. Temptations forever.
So true.
Actually anyone going to see the Temptations are going to see Otis and that wasn't even in the Script, but Leon said it fit in and the Producers left it
Melvin was "a voice" as well. Maybe not an entire song, but definitely "trademark voice" for Temps!!!
The Temptations are the greatest male group of all time. They will always be my favorite group. Has been already for over 40 years. ❤❤❤❤❤#LEGENDS
Otis williams is a legend... I'm
Glad he's still doing it. This could been a little longer, but other than that, good content
Keep up the Good Work Otis, Love to see the Temptations in Concert🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤❤🙌🙏🏼
The man is a legend and shall remain so! Thank the Lord for him and thank you for posting this.
...yeah Otis is the glue of the Group
Otis Williams also dated my aunt Kitty Parham she was a gospel singer back in the day. Me and my cousin read his letter he wrote to her
Hold on to that letter 😉. That’s classic. Share if you can. Please 🙏🏾.
Prove it
@@NeneDeBeauty Why??????
Woooow!! Yeah Kitty was fine as hell back in her day, sanctified and all. I can see that. She sang with Clara Ward then the Stars of Faith. Dope history
@@NeneDeBeautyWhy he have to prove it?
A great video. Otis is still around. 🔥
Thanks Mr.Otis Williams for the success of the one and only group the Temptation. I grew up on Motown my mother played all the Motown sounds through out my childhood until adulthood now l still listen to the motown sounds great music still to this day rest on to the ones who have passed on David, Eddie,Paul,and Melvin sleep on Temptations
👍💯%👏👏👏.Otis William's has managed to remain in top position. He probally know his strength as well as his weakness. Like him or not. He knew what voices he needed. He might be the best singer in the group, but he knows how to hire the right voices. It was his group, and still is. There's been some Amazing Singers in the Temptations. Fact is there was no lead singer, but knowing who has the right voice to make a song a hit, is the thing Otis had control of .I guess we see Otis was not going to let anyone take his group down. If you got too cocky, your ego cast a negative spot on the group, they had to go. I get it. He created that group, chose the singers, nobody was going to destroy his dream, his baby.it seems he had that right. He didn't have to prove whether he could be lead singer. Knowing which voice could make the song a hit, would make the whole group look good. He's lost a lot of talented guys, but has managed to hire the right guys for that tine.Otis William's has proved he's no push over. He was in charge. He's managed to keep his Dream Alive. Those who made the songs a hit, will always be Legendary. We know whose voice stood out.whose Voice made the song a hit, the rest of the Guys Blended in. The moves, the outfits, it worked. I'm Thankful for what Otis William's Created. Making hard decision that could make or break a group the songwriters who created songs for the right guy to make the song a hit. God Bless Otis William's. I wish him continued Good Health and Staying Strong. I wish him Longgevity. Love,respect and positivity always. None of the Guys will ever be Forgotten.Thanks for this Video. 👍👌. Neita james. ✌🖖🕯💕🙂👋.
Otis was the lead singer in "Don't send me away ". Try to find it and listen to it.
I love the song otis sing called" I ain't got nothing" . he's done a great job in keeping the group together. Long live the founder of the temptations.
Well said; I agree. It probably was harder for him being the backbone (AND not getting that kind of credit from the masses) vs. being out front getting all the praise & accolades from the fans... but that's the life of the "chosen one' right?
Otis doesn't get the credit for selecting voices for songs. The writers did that. They knew who they had in mind for the songs they wrote
Oh, yes, The Temptations music is so lasting that even when we are no longer here, it will still be loved. Thanks be to the Otis
I know Otis gets joked on a lot, but a musician understands one thing. Otis was the harmony glue. When Eddie sang lead, Otis sang the high falsetto just like Eddie. When David sang lead, Otis was the tenor hitting the 7th harmonies, or for the regular folk, the pretty colorful harmony.
You also need someone that keeps the eyes on the prize. David wasn’t going to do it. Otis knew his voice wasn’t strong, but he knew harmonies. In a five man group, harmony is just as important as lead. Everyone has their part except Davis. Eddie was the dresser for the group. Paul the choreographer. Otis the business. Blue the mediator. David was the only one messing it up, so he had to get gone!!!
No he wasn't half of you think you know everything about David his time with the group and his solo career let me guess it's the David had a ego? Some of you speak negatively on this man because y'all only think David was the bad guy in the group. Learn David's story before you judge him because at the end of the day David was a human being.
@@aintnothingliketheoldskool my comment didn’t talk bad about David. My comment strictly said everyone has a role in a group. Regardless of his background, which I do know what it is, David was about David. I’ve never heard anyone talk bad about David. I’ve sat and played with The Funk Brothers in the mid 90’s. They all said David was cool. Actually, they said Otis was the one out of the group was an @sshole. My point being is Otis knew his role, and he was needed to keep the group moving forward.
@@Keepdapocketyeah I heard stories about Otis being an ass from many other people and especially past members. Although Otis based on what I heard pretty much took it too far. I'm not sure which Temptation This was but he said that his health started to decline and he had to have surgery and Otis didn't care and was angry at him for something he couldn't control. It was done at that point he decided to quit The Temptations for good because I know he was on and off with them and that Otis started caring about the money versus the health of his fellow members. I believe that the only one he genuinely cared about the most was Melvin/Blue. They both were loyal to each other and as well as Motown but then blue passed away. If I'm not correct, I think this temptation member that had the surgery is probably deceased as well. I don't want to be incorrect but I think it was Richard Street. Otis may have been the glue to the group but at times he would take it way too far! 🤔
@@Faithandseekerofchrist yeah. I’ve heard those stories, too. I had the liberty of my musician Carter to play with some of the funks brothers in the early 90’s. Met a lot of Motown people. Crazy stories, man.
But, yes, I’ve heard (personally) Otis was not the nicest dude. However, I have to give him a pass for MOST of it. Excluding health reasons, you can’t have side missing shows, high and drunk for the performances, missing meetings, etc. messing up the money. Someone has to be that “bad guy”, so to speak. Usually, people don’t like that.
I'm glad you wrote this because people sleep on otis talent. You hear otis on lead in, don't send me away, and read between the lines. He's a great singer and leader
They had dance moves that was so entertaining to watch, the movie was awesome.
Yes. I did the Temptation Walk in my High School Talent Show to "Come See About Me" Suprems, came in 2nd Place Leilehua High School , Ohua Hawaii
I want a Love I can see, I like that song, it should have charted. This was a great video!
Yes. For Sure ❤
I agree. Paul should have gotten a lot more notoriety in the group.
That’s one of my favorites! I wore that 💿 out to the point where I had to buy a new one. Of course the new vehicles don’t have CD accommodations. Thank goodness for Apple Music.
I really like your commentary. It's truthful, clear, and straight to the point! If they could see how you're portraying them they would definitely appreciate it 💯
Just think if you told Bible stories in the KJV (King James Version) accurately, the good Lord will give you such an platform it would be absolutely incredible. Blessings to you 💜 🙏 ✨️
Awesome 🥰 I saw the Temptations at Biltmore Estate a good while ago. They were Great.
WOW Was that a great vivdeo....Thank you
The truth regards the Temptations ,depends on who’s version of the many stories told & who is telling them .
Hi edagdwg god bless this man as a child of God he's soooooooo blessed to enjoy his life as a real singer he loved being real I'm going to sing with this special young man I love my the respect he had for all of them hearing him god bless them all linda j. Peace
Love this ! My favorite group ❤
great video WBPTV
Otis yes he was the glue of the group and he is still supporting the temptations legacy but to be honest I feel like he didn't really care about Eddie David or Paul only himself shelly berger and berry gordy. You might not like it but it's my opinion and the fact that he fired eddie because his voice wasn't strong and it was weakening was just crazy to me. And please stop saying who and who was the voice it was all of them even Otis
Yes! The whole is greater than the sum of its parts!
eddie left the group before his voice got jacked up!
I have to agree with you there. When reading his book he seemed very dismissive of, especially Paul. He would say they were like brothers but in the book it was almost like ships passing in the night, except for Melvin, who I really liked as well.
I agree with that, especially after reading his book and the way he threw his bandmates under the bus. He walked on the back of great singers at a time when everybody and I mean everybody had to know how to sing. He slid by and profited. I don't have a whole lot of respect for him is a person or a performer.
@@lindahines9380 you could have said something other than jacked up thank you very much
This is a great video you did awesome
great video
14:00 - Doctorette? Is that because it was at Spellman, a woman's college? Ha Ha!
I am glad you referenced his autobiography and the movie The Temptations! Great acting by some great unsung actors and actresses!
You're storytelling is top notch. Thank you for your work.
Johnnie Mae Matthews would have been 100 today!
Yes, and she showed Berry Gordy, All the Ropes to being a Great Legion himself with Motown🎶🔥❤
I don’t know what to believe. According to the movie Johnnie Mae Matthews regretted letting the Tempts go. Otis states that in the book that it was a mutual parting because she couldn’t take them any further.
@@alexandradillard2077 The Temptations movie was factually incorrect/exaggerated on a number of levels. So I would believe what Otis says since he himself was actually there.
Otiswillalwaysbealegendandfamousleaderofthetempationsgotemps❤
this should be interesting! 😳
Looking back at the Interview with Eddie, He said he Left the Temptations because he wasn't a Brown noiser and if He Didn't Feel something wasn't Right he wasn't going to do it. Interview from Unsung Eddie Kendrick
@@felingpatricio8755 I know I love ❤️ that
video of eddie I be laughing when I see it!
Eddie also said that Berry Gordy never liked him. Probably because he didn’t brown nose. In addition Eddie said that he thought about leaving the group in1966 because he saw things that weren’t right. He was asked if he would write a book. Eddie said that if he couldn’t tell the gospel he didn’t want to say anything.
A true legend.
Eddie QUIT. He was not fired. His last solo Album was Vintage '78 and his voice was still in tact.
If anything it was a mutual agreement between Otis and Eddie. So technically he wasn't fired.
Listening to the Dixie Hummingbirds Swan Silverstones and Soul Stirrers he learned from the best and their were members in all those groups that rarely sang lead but they were very important such as James Davis with the Dixie Hummingbirds.
Otis! Couldn't sing. And I fill that you shouldn't speak ill of the dead. It was about making money. Seem like it was more focus on David, than any of them. Paul committed suicide, and was an alcoholic, but he wasn't bashed. He also acted as if he owned the group. Buy I guess the positive comments ,of David. Or the movie wouldn't been exciting enough, or brought in enough money. But let's be clear, the voices in the group were ,David, Eddie, Paul.
Duh! Um Otis could sing and he was key to the group’s harmonizing
You're wrong Paul wasn't a acholic he had sickle cell anemia he only drinked to numb the pain and Paul didn't act like he owned the group he came with the group name just like Florence came up with the name the supremes.
@@aintnothingliketheoldskool you’re wrong on 2 accounts Paul did drink to ease his sickle cell pain which led to alcoholism and an employee for Motown step outside the bldg saw the fellas struggling to come up with a name and suggested they call themselves the Temptations per the book by Otis Williams
@@russdee8331 well you're wrong for what you said as well it's my opinion you don't agree with I don't care
Well you also have to mention Dennis Edwards if you're going to single out and mentioned names Especially if you're talking about the voices David Eddie and Dennis
I'm so crazy about this man, that my husband looks just like him, no joke, my son could pass as his son. I would love to have for my birthday a picture of him, saying to Renaee' from Otis with love. My birthday would be out of this world Dec. 31st turning 69 this year.
Amen!
I wish Otis would have made the movie when the other group members were alive im sure there would have been differences as to the conglicts they faced as a group.What is Otis giving to the former temptation members famlies or is he capitalizing for himself.Temptations fot Life according to Otis.
The temps were simply the best
He told the story from.his perspective. David Ruffin and others aren't around to defend themselves. He did the narration.
Otis sounds pretty good in those uncharted songs. Even if he didn’t sing lead and was dedicated to calling the shots.
I will always Otis Williams
Ain’t nobody come to see you otis 😂😂😂
the boss of bosses !
Long Live The Temptations
That thumbnail looks like an older Otis Jackson aka Madlib.
So as OF today 1/8/23 how many groups of temptations has there been?
I am confused. Could somebody help me out here? Is this the same Otis Williams who had all those great R&B/dowop hits on the Deluxe Label (affiliated with King Records) as Otis Williams & the Charms in the 1950's - like "One Night Only", "Save Me Save Me", "Ivory Tower", and many many others? I still have a lot of those original 45's. I guess it couldn't be. There must have been two exceptionally good singers with the same name.
Ok so Otis does have a voice. I always wondered.
That must of been before they were the Temptations I never heard him Sing Lead before, but I guess he did and he's still going Strong with the Group seen them in Santa Rosa CA , Tacoma Washington, Hardrock Sacramento Wheatland this Year they were Great 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤❤ Alway's Forever The Tempting Temptations
@@felingpatricio8755 actually he did sing lead on don't send me away with the original five.
@@arnoldfarrar Ok , never heard that, but I'm only 72 and been Listening to them since 1964, did the Temptation Walk in my High School Talent Show to "Come See About Me" Supremes.
@Feling Patricio lol okay yes that's the only song that I know of and it's actually a nice tune that you can listen to here on TH-cam..
@@arnoldfarrar I'll check it out, I just didn't hear it and I know in one of Otis, interview he said he didn't care to Lead cause they All made the same Pay $
Otis was the voice. I wish they could've all stayed together the classic five after al left & David took his spot. They was the best set of temptations
David Ruffin wasn't in the Original Temptations. Eldridge Bryant was replaced by David Ruffin.
@@williebowen1043 look at what I Said again. The classic five is considered David in not Al
@@kamscott4201 way before david even joined the group al was a original temptation
Was Otis Williams related to Tony Williams, who was the lead singer for "The Platters"?
Look how good your getting
The best voice was David and Eddie pail was good too Otis was m9re of a business mine he kept them level and decided who was out or in
Otis was important too the other guy with the deep voice was good too but his deep bass voice was only used to lift the song
He was one of the first to die
Love these guys they showed us what class was
Out of the classic five, Melvin was the last to die
@@smfnyyeah blue was technically the last Otis is still standing and after him all the Temptations especially in the original one and the ones who have joined in the past or in the future would die as well. Although we do have the current Temptations it was pretty much at its prime in the 60s and 70s!
I met Otis in 2003, very cool brother. Respect! 🥂
Its incredible how they all just happen to move to Detroit. Almost like it was fate
Didnt Chart! lmao
if you like Edmund slyvers everybody is telling me that, but what are they going to do remember all the things tennessee did elvis was calling me , that needed his help in calimazoo. Lisa maria married michael jackson , jermaine dupri was married to janet jackson.
The Temptations are my favorite group The Original group
Ain’t nobody coming to see Otis
Nobody come to c Otis
History was made in the men’s room ?
Ayo pause 😂
What does Otis voice sound like?
You can hear Otis Williams lead vocals on a song entitled " Don't Send Me Away" of the album " The Temptations A Lot Of Soul.
It's kind of a mid-tenor range. Lower than Eddie's and David's voices but higher than Paul's and Melvin's voices.
Never knew he was married to patti lebelle . Wow
Engaged not married
Engaged
Look so I guess they do come to see OTIS????
Ain't Nobody Coming To See You Otis 😆😆😆.
will you give michelle oliver a picture of my father i will pay St James Catholic church for 1,000,000 dollars the picture of my father.
This dude can't sing, an extra Temp.
Blue was the voice
You know that's a first.
He said the one and only Otis Williams?...
🤔...
I don't believe nobody was coming to see Otis I believe"
😐
Otis had a great voice
This is the most unimportant singer in history
