Otis has kept the Temptations' "sound" consistent for over 60 years and through dozens of lineups. He is a very masterful group leader even if he isn't a lead singer. Mad respect for Otis.
Otis sang lead on: I ain't got nothing th-cam.com/video/l0M3qXxZjS0/w-d-xo.html Don't send me away, The Christmas song th-cam.com/video/CIfxspco5pA/w-d-xo.html and many others I can't think of right now. He also co-led numerous songs with other members.
Our beloved Classic Four have departed and we love them still. With that said, Dr. Otis Williams and all the TEMPTS that came on board the TEMPTING TEMPTATIONS TEAM...are beloved treasures as well. Read their stories, hear Their voices and give them their due and their flowers while they live. Otherwise, when they are gone; we'll be moaning like we are over David, Melvin, Paul, Eddie, Ali, Richard, Dennis and all the rest that's gone. GOD doesn't make mistakes and GOD doesn't make duplicates. TEMPTATIONS' FANS 🌹FOREVER LOVE.
i read through the comments and shook my head a dozen times. First, thank you for posting. I have seen the Tempts over 25 times and in all different variations of the group. They all were talented and entertaining. We can't return to the past, folks! What is important to me is that we keep the legacy of the TEMPTATIONS alive. We (and you know who I mean) seem to mis-understand what respect and reverence is. The name of the group is THE TEMPTATIONS. They represents an era, musical movement that did not exist before and may never come again...give the name the PROPS and save the excess criticism for those who are trying to put their mark on musical history and can't reach the heights that this group (and Smokey, and the Tops and the Supremes and Motown) reached.
Its amazing that you have people who COMPLAIN about the current lineup but will go out of their way to not only "watch" the video but take time out to type a goofy comment on how its fake Tempts and the sound blah blah blah. But they are here....with no profile picture, no subscribers, no videos, no content and most of all no damn sense! Temptations Forever!! lol
I love them I loved to see them again and I bedridden I love Otis williams I saw them 5 6years ago in Oxford Alabama there was a woman stood up whole time I was there I should had moved but I didn't I got free tickets in bham Alabama but I had know way to go I told my mother I would love to c them one day she said that would never happen well it did
Man Otis really seriously was the glue bc out of all these years hes been doin what he was called to do seen so many amazing highs & super low lows but thru it all he still out here doin his thing 🫡 Mr Otis Williams give him his 🌺's while he can still smell em!!! & I recently 3wks ago got to see the Temptations' play Ain't Too Proud To Beg & it was amazing 🤩
Tony Grant can't absolutely sing, but I just don't like him in the temps he sings too modern and 90s R&B style . Just sing the song straight . Don't need all those extra runs . It takes away from the temps sound because they never did that. No hate just observing
Who is singing David’s part on “Ain’t too proud”? Good singer BUT he completely over sang it. The only Temp lead singer who could sing David’s songs was Ali Ollie Woodson. I know I’m living in the past but I can’t help but hear David, Dennis and Ali on these songs……they’re gone and they can never be replaced. RIP original Temps David, Eddie, Melvin, Paul and later Dennis and Ali. Gone but never forgotten. These are fake Temps…..good singers but they’re not the Temps.
They sound very good and I’m a long time fan however the lead singer smothers the performance by over singing… It reduces an otherwise professional performance to a ‘local favorite cover band’ sort of sound….
Dude, First learn proper pronunciation. When you ask a question follow it with a Question mark. Then you start off with Capitilation and you end with more punctuation. Use a period at the end of your sentence. Second, grow up and work your channel. You must don't have a phone at all because you have no subscribers, no videos, and no content. If you want to impress us...get in the game first. You are in the comments. You trying to call shots but you have a blue circle with a letter in the middle of it as your profile picture. You are such a lazy ass you didn't even take the time to put a proper photo as a profile picture. You aren't even a good troll. Sit down. You are dismissed. You make your race look bad.
@@kissradio7575 Ha Ha Ha ! Well said Kissradio! We love the video!! Thank you! Just ignore this numbnut knee- grows that talk about use a better phone but have no content on their own channel! lol lol !
Otis Williams and the Temptations Revue, a tribute group doing an oldies act of the Temptations repertoire, and show. The impersonators should do the right thing and call it what it is. A name does not The Temptations make!
Each generation of the temps added something, someone left, new songs, different styles and routines. I personally would not see them live as they just sing the old hits. Develop a few new songs in your own style, you have good voices, your artist not clones.
Have you heard dude? The "old" ones have passed on. Where have you been? You must gonna dig up David Eddie, Melvin, Paul, and Dennis. Heres the deal. They pay respect and have a new song praising the original Temptations.
Niccas ain't always shaming and complaining If the original ones were there you would be complaining that they are "alright" but they move to slowly. They don't "sound" like they use to. You would be complaining and whining then. If they were young you would be saying "They alright" but they are still wet behind the ears..they need to work on their craft. Niccas love to complain.....
But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.....there are selling out concert after concert....Got a musical going on. Still making GOOD songs and you do know the original Tempts have passed on right? You do know that even the current lineup says they could never be like the original Tempts right? You do know this SHOW business right? It's amazing to me that the original band and managers like Cornelius Crant are no longer there but you have no problem with him not being there. Nor the Funk brothers who mostly have gone on to glory like Benny Benjamin or James Jamerson, and Robert White or the writers of those great songs like Norman Whitfield but you don't know WHO they are and the fact that they were replaced. But you have no problem with them not being there. Come on cheeka.....You are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. You ....don't have to listen to them. It's amazing to me the "critics" will listen and take time to criticize... But when this version of the Temptations sell out concert after concert and put asses into seats....your opinion doesn't really matter.
WOW, I saw the current line-up and was tremendously impressed as a life-time fan since the early sixties. Each members are "Mainstays" Ron and Terry have been with Otis for years and I believe the same will the case with Tony and Jawan. They may not be the classic 5, but they are definitely "STILL" the TEMPTING Temptations (BY FAR).
Thats not true. This group keeps selling out shows after shows and still touring overseas. You are entitled to make up your own opinion but you are not entitled to make up your own facts. There is a "lot" of somebodys coming to see Otis.

Ahh Youth! 6:25 Jawan has completed his turn while poor old Otis is just getting started

Always # 1

Oh how I agree! He does not fit with the Temptation sound! Loosen up, sing with some soulful soul!
Can someone please tell me the dress code for attending this concert? I'm planning to attend their next show.
Pretty much semi-casual. You can wear what you want. But casual nice is the way to go
Who is singing David’s part on “Ain’t too proud”? Good singer BUT he completely over sang it. The only Temp lead singer who could sing David’s songs was Ali Ollie Woodson.

GC Cameron can sing David Ruffin 's ,Dennis Edwards and Ollie Woodson 's lead parts in Every Temptations songs
THE ORIGINAL TEMPTATIONS WERE OTIS WILLIAMS ,MELVIN FRANKLIN , ELDRIDGE BRYANT PAUL WILLIAMS AND EDDIE KENDRICKS.
They sound very good and I’m a long time fan however the lead singer smothers the performance by over singing… It reduces an otherwise professional performance to a ‘local favorite cover band’ sort of sound….
Great group lasted for years Great singers..but I think it's time they hung up their boots.theyve had a great innings.

As long as Otis Williams is alive. THESE ARE THE TEMPTATIONS

Fake ass temptations not like the old ones even though they all dead but I still like the old temptations and their music too but not their new one.
Well… duh.

@@sexyluxury3901 because the new temptations sucked they don't have the sound like the old ones did.
Not true. They sound amazing for a group 60 years in...every lineup has had its own strengths and weaknesses and all of them gave been awesome.
They're horrible!!! They don't sound good at all. No harmony like the Classic Five Temptations. It's time for them to give it up.
But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.....there are selling out concert after concert....Got a musical going on. Still making GOOD songs and you do know the original Tempts have passed on right?

@@supremefreedom5645Absolutely correct
How long did the concert last?
Between the Tops and The Temptations maybe about 3 hours not counting intermission..
Aint nobody coming to see Otis.
Their is a reason every temp has hated him.

@bryantroom you are seriously stupid. Its from the movie moron
