- 'The Temptations’ LAST Surviving Member Reveals DISTURBING Details About the Group.
The Temptations' legacy, as seen through his eyes, is a statement of enduring impact, a story that continues to resonate with fans and artists alike. But it wasn’t easy for the group to become the legend that they became. and Otis even reminisce about the time where their audience was divided by a mere piece of rope. The Temptations began their ascent to stardom at a time when music was more than mere entertainment; it was a voice for the voiceless, a beacon of hope in turbulent times.

These guys were groundbreaking. The Temptations will live on forever.
They most certainly were groundbreaking. Their music is timeless and no other group can compare to them
LOVE OTIS HE HELD THE GROUP TOGETHER. R.I.P to ALL TEMPTATIONS FOREVER 😢❤❤🥰🥰🥰PAUL ❤❤❤❤
You don't know your history oldest destroyed the group he wanted it to be Otis and the temptation just like he wanted to be Otis Williams and the distance all this was very very jealous of David ruffin Dennis Edwards Eddie Kendricks anybody that can really sing
@@levident7135😂🎉😂😂😂😂😂
He did not keep the group together he separated the group because he wanted it to be Otis Williams and the temptation if you know your history he wanted it to be Otis Williams and the distance because he claims he found the group and I sit down and I talked with Dennis Edwards we at breakfast he told me and I repeat he did not want to leave the temptation nor did David but it was hard to work with Otis because he has such a jealous Spirit I'm talking when I got from the horse's mouth I'm not making this up I tell Otis in front of his face take him to the place where Dennis and I had had breakfast as a matter of fact I got a picture of me and Dennis sitting in my Maserati going to breakfast to eat
PAUL! And yes MELVIN DAVID EDDIE AND DENNIS ...
@@judygedmistergaines7578 that was good music back then Paul really could sing I really enjoyed him we used to listen to him in prison I know one thing that music back then made our black asses pay a lot of child support we didn't want to kill nobody it made us want to make love to
Otis wasn't jealous he just spoke the truth
The narrator stretched out this video by saying the same thing over and over.
That’s because the narrator is AI.
I thought it was just me thinking that….
I got half way through the video and started thinking the same thing 😂
Facts
Stop looking for errors
Otis is so blessed to have been alive to see it all. His rise to fame his mark in music and within black culture( literally cookouts or every old movie plays the temptations that’s how I know the song watching movies from back in the day or just black movies in general) as well as the overall change that music has had over the past few decades!
Eddie was so fine
I loved Eddie Kendricks. His voice was wonderful.
He had a record shop in my neighborhood Kendricks records wow what a time to be alive
This the best group ever. The classic 5 is the best
Man I. Feel there music. Just like the. 4. Tops. Every one. Makes. Mistakes. God bless. Odis. N. The. Family of. Motown.
My Uncle Duke Jethro is the last member of BBKing band hes told me a bunch of stories of the Temptations maybe he should get interviewed.
This was the longest video that didn’t really go beyond the surface of the group at all…
Wishing you all the best otis.
Take care.
Ron
Funny how otis is the only original member alive...
Well Melvin, and Paul weren't well. Melvin had Reumatoid Arthritis and ended up getting diabetes because of the cortisone injections he was getting. And Paul had Sickle Cell Anemia. And back then there was no treatment, so he drank to ease the pain he was dealing with. He wasn't really a drinker and the strongest thing he drank was milk before dealing with so much pain. And well David was a drug addict sad to say, and Eddie dabbled in Coke because of David offering it to him. But, don't know if he kept doing it. I believe cancer took him. And as for Otis he never got into to those things and neither did Melvin "Blue" sad 😥 he pushed through a lot of pain to be with the others at their concerts and performances and getting all the cortisone injections to help with his mobility was a big issue. Because you can't live your life getting all those injections of cortisone. I have had those and I won't take them anymore. They cause other problems and diabetes is one of those problems. It's really sad 😢😢😢😢😢
The narrator said the same shit through this whole video. I had to check to make sure it wasn’t a looped video
😂😅😂
😅 Yeah….wtf is the ‘disturbing new detail’ as stated in the title! 😂😂😂
I thought they were supposed to be interviewing Otis the last original member
Clickbate, that's what i thought, that was the reason why i wanted too watch the video.
Thank you so much Ms Gayle for this interview with Mr. Otis Williams.
Like the narrator said there was a lot of competition and I do mean a lot of competition back in those days! So many groups to contend with, Black and White and they were all very good, NO exceptional!!!
Just a heads up. Someone may want to loop back thru this content.
There are a couple of different frames featuring "Gerald Alston" of The Manhattans.
I'm 81 and I got to see the originals and let me say....there is no better. I play them to this very day. I'm a white boy and still love them to this day.
This brings back memories growing up there they were just neighborhood people im very proud to have grown up there during that time...long live Motown ❤
Fame and fortune is just an illusion! Lord Jesus Christ is our true Savior🙏🏼❤️🕊REPENT, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again
🤣
So Otis blood sacrifice da temptation members
We know that Jesus is the only answer but we are talking about the temptations don't be so spiritual that you can't deal with earthly situations
Amen❤
They were expressing the talent that God gave them!
The movie was awesome
Yep
I love them esp David Ruffin ❤
Best group in the world best dancers in the world
U never know what people go through have been through especially at that time
The Name of group Temptations they went through alot of Temptations 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 made hits went through hard ships Love love there beautiful music❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤God bless the Group and the Group member....😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
THANK YOU THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES.. THE PHAROAHS OF EGYPT AND THE WORLD.
Ain't nobody here to see you, Otis
Ain't nobody seen David since 91😮, Otis still raking in the loot.😊
@@MrZinnerman😂😅😂 Yep! Ol’ Otis is 82 years old (Oct. 30, 1941) and still touring with his group! 🙏🏾
AND has a award winning Broadway show. So everyone is coming to see Otis.@@DVPerry220
Otis got the last laugh.
The Temptations reminds me of New Edition. Both groups are ICONIC 👑💎👑💎👑💎👑💎👑💎👑💎👑💎👑💎👑💎👑
I love NE but they cannot be compared to the Temptations. As a matter of fact, this is an insult to the Temptations who were a part of Motown. Comparing the Temptations to a group like The Four Tops would be more accurate.
I think they meant to say New Edition reminds them of The Temp's that makes more sense 😊
@@jAITtROtULLy'all really need to fall the fuck back correcting people on their opinions! Don't agree, oh fucking well!
Being from Motown that's an insult
Love this. But I couldn't help noticing how the narrator is just somehow repeating himself.
God bless Otis Williams and all Temptations members....
Thank you...❤❤❤
"Ain't nobody here to see you, Otis" - David Ruffin
Click bait…… I was expecting to hear more from Otis than the narrator. Disappointing.
Thank for this.. Otis Williams & the rest of Temptations are irreplaceable in Pop Music History.. Can you do one of these stories of Mary Wilson & The Supremes..
Unquestionably, No.
Unquestionably, No.
Unquestionably, No.
Unquestionably, No.
Unquestionably, No.
Where are these jealousy stories coming from. Otis is the one that put the group together and held it together until the end. If you read his book its a lot of things there that werent in the movie. 🙄😏
I’ve read the book. When I saw the miniseries I wondered why some things were not included in the miniseries. 😢
Ain’t nobody coming to see you Otis. 😂
❤❤❤❤❤
Gm edagdwg thanks for sharing this special story of what happens when God make sure people changed others to enjoy music from black people no matter who they were a forever loving fan Linda j .peace
David’s voice was amazing. Just like Eddie’s falsetto
These me went through hell.and back but they made it and went through alot of issues no one knew and got on that stage and performed like nothing was happening and they didn't make monwy like these artist do today and they didn't have any auto tunes that was their god given voices and they came through racism and so much diversity but they will always remain one of the greatest voices and groups of all time Rip ti all the temptations thats gone and Otis still keeping the legecy going god bless him
Something about, Otis, I don't Trust 🤔👈🏾
What??? When were you born??
What I want to know is what 'DISTURBING New Details'? Looks like click bait to me.
It's called 📽️
He last survivor why he wasn't a blood sacrifice
@@gotenhuggins270‘blood sacrifice’? What do you mean
? 😮
Otis held the group together...some members tried to go solo but it didnt workout for them...lack discipline
Oldest never tried to hold the group together Otis was jealous of David Ellis and Dennis anybody that could sing oldest wanted to be out front but he didn't have the voice everybody can't leave we need backups
@@levident7135 who in the hell is Oldest? 😂
The people who made the group so popular are all dead. The Temptations are now a cover band. Eddie, David, Melvin, Paul and Dennis are gone. There songs live on but that magic that only they could never be duplicated. You can sound like them and sing their songs but that magic was theirs alone. Otis was a back up singer.
Even being a background singer, he's why they existed!
@@ebonyharris5412 so you say. I say different. Don't believe that stupid movie.
He is the harmony man or swing man, without Otis they wouldn't have been able to have 3 lead singers and would have been like any of the other groups of that time. Like Smokey and the miracles, 4 tops. Walter Williams of the Ojays is there swingman as well as Henry Fambrough of the spinners. Being able to sing in baritone and second tenor meant that he could backup whoever was singing lead etc David, Paul and Eddie @@Babygirl61868
Bro you scared me for a second I thought something HORRIBLE happened to them
Gm edagdwg God blessed them all God blessed them all to people in the same place's love them all a forever loving fan Linda j. Peace
Who he pledging to cause how he just outlive all the other original members
The last original member of The Temptations other than Otis died nearly 30 years ago.
Why are clips of the Manhattans near the end.
For any of us that knew lived and loved them al... WE WILL ALWAYS KNOW THE TRUTH & REALITY,, ( I don't care about comments DARLINS)
JUST KNOW IF YOU LOVED THEM , THATS FOREVER....
They, it seamz, were much bigger than we thought or may know or ever.
Redundant video. No discernable information given here.
This was click bait , I thought it was gonna be this great interview, instead this cat just saying the same thing over & over again, each time a bit differently .
This mf repeat the same fact 16 different ways before getting to the next fact
This was click bait. Where is the disturbing new details? I already knew all of these things. There was nothing new. Someone literally just asked chatgpt to write them a story about the temptations, and this is what was put together? A highly boring and repetitive story of things we already knew. This AI stuff is getting out of hand yall gotta be more creative than this. It was very annoying.
Otis is sleazy His version of the truth slanted by jealousy and greed instrumental in the demise of the group
The title is deceiving. Not disturbing about this video. Nothing we fans of theirs do not know.
What is booty bangin? I was scared to look it up😂
I never met The Tempts and I know more than this narration tells. #clickbait No new details here.
All these years and even as the last man standing, still anit NOBODY coming to see YOU Otis.
Man!!! I didn't want to make the joke.....but I was thinking it.
@kingyah4611: That phrase was placed there for great effect, or shock value. The director wanted to display the personality of David Ruffin. However, don't let that phrase fool you. Those like yourself, not born in the era, only focus on a movie. Otis Williams was, like Berry Gordy, a visionary. He, like Berry, had an ear for talent. Otis' group, "The Distants," he knew, needed something else to take the next step. The Distants merged with The Primes (Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams). The rest is history. If not for Otis, there would be no "Temptations." And, don't think Otis cannot sing. He can. Look up "Don't Send Me Away" (1967) by The Temptations, and "I Ain't Got Nothin'" (1972) by The Temptations.
Don't let an improv from a movie get you F@#$ED UP
@@luvbig41 Because you DON'T KNOW OTIS, it was a wonderful phrase put in the movie to show the personality of David Ruffin. Matter of fact, you DON'T KNOW THE GROUP. And, you don't know screenplay impact. Enough said.
@@michellekirkendall818 don’t be a buzz killington. It’s a joke. Don’t take life so serious.
This told us nothing new. C'mon man!!! Thought you had something to say!@
Too repeative, and I'd like to hear about the 4 Tops and other groups of that time. What I heard is what I already knew. Alert me when you learn new information.
Otis book different from deliver us from temptations
🎉The people must remember that the body needs rest great meals family connections and peace of mind but denial of these things constitutes early and tragic deaths. My my stop the body abuses do the right thing live healthy and not in competation nor neglect and stay prayed up regardless to your style of work. Dorothy Pitts 😂
This story pictures what happened.
Man all you have to say is David ruffin😅.😮😮😮😮😮
Addition = Poisoned
You didnot have anything to say about OTIS!! every thing you showed is not new old information 👎🏾😡👎🏾
All this vid does is to repeat the temptations story in several similar ways, I mean how. Manny ways are you gonna tel us how triumphant they were amend how they were innovators of the genre, there's so much more of their story you could have told but nope you've jus kept it pure repetition, well done you!
If u r a baby boomer u already know there story
If they had not accepted such artificial simulation, they may have been healthier.
Gm edagdwg No other group could take there place a forever loving fan Linda j. Peace
This is filled with error
Didnt like this doc. Too broad didnt get too the heart of the issues just broadly mentioned them.the title is misleading to much inteo by the nareator who loves to hear hs voice. Where does the last memebr speak and reveal the disturbing details? I thought i was watching a totally different vid. Half way through.
Edit* over 20.kins in and the narrator keeps repaeting the same thing .They're artistic Their music is resonating over years and audiences .they sang about social issues. Numerous challenges etc.
Ain’t nobody to come to see you, Otis😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can’t begin to tell you how sick and tired I am of hearing this AI voice on the voiceover. It is ubiquitous. You’d think that producers of a documentary about soul music would want their script to be read by a real human being, you know, someone with an actual soul, not by soulless artificial intelligence software. Very disappointing.
This ain't nothin but a recap of what I already heard from the early 2000's basically a summary of 3 documentaries and the movie. I thought this was going to be him telling a deep dark secret that nobody on this earth heard before. Or a secret that would have helped new comers to the business, or info that would put together unfinished business like his fellow members death that are questioned to be mysteries. No offense but a waste of my time.
Of course their breakthrough came with the release of their first hit singles. That begs the question, would their breakthrough had come with the release of failed singles? Nothin but a word salad. I know it sounds smart, but this report is full of empty phrases and fillers.
They were a part of the Motown machine. The songs they sang were written by songwriters. They were given dance lessons and their dances were choreographed by the Motown machine. They were taught how to speak to the press. They were coached how to behave in public. And if and when they did anything wrong, word would get back to Motown and Barry.
They are also one of my all time favorite groups. I love them, but this report lacks specifics and is filled with generic poetic phrases that can be applied to almost any successful performer or group. What a waste of time.
8:40 Not a Temptation. Put together very poorly.
The TV network put a special prime time with the Temptation n the Supremes that was something special not a black person was outside that night that had to be the highest rated network that night then we came out after that show trying to copy all those dancing moves,that when music was music,not the shit that they play now it's pure bullshit now but the Tempt's was REAL DEAL no five performers have been better then n now
Ain’t nobody coming to see you Otis🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You must be a millennial because everything you said is and has been well documented since the late 1980's. In fact, a made for TV miniseries hit the airwaves in 1998, it was produced by Otis Williams and former Temps manager Shelly Berger. It was based off Otis' book that came out ten years earlier. In short; all this information is "new" to you, but isn't fresh news to the rest of civilization. I thought I had to actually take time out of my day to pay attention because of breaking news. Instead it was just another presentation of the same old information.
"Disturbing" indeed, yes it is and their stories resembles lots of bio pics in the history of rock and roll and there are many stories that have been told. The mini series has Leon playing Ruffin and his plays it brilliantly! However, Michael Wright also does a terrific job in "The Five Heartbeats"; which was a somewhat "loose" portrayal of a few groups including The Temptations, Four Tops, Dells, and a few others. Let me tell you something, it may be a loose and/or partially fictional portrayal; but you KNEW Michael Wright was playing David Ruffin. His character's background was dangerous, while all the other members of the Five Heartbeats were mama's boys, which holds true to the Temp's backstory as you well know.
Other than that, the slides are great, your voice, wording and delivery are all fantastic. No qualms on the quality, all first rate attributes! I do not want to sound discouraging in any way because you are a creative force and should always feel the power of this artistic forum. I do not have any videos nor productions that even come close to what you are doing. I'm a radio guy and do not possess the video skills. However, I've hosted "The Motown Lunch" on WJZP since 2016 and also do another show called "The Monday Night Mini Concert Series". Unfortunately, the only live Temptations material I've been able to get my paws on is "The Temptations Live" from 1965, which lacks the quality and technological strength that would facilitate the historic live recordings we have all come to know and love. That's another conversation though. Also found a live performance from 1984 and a bootleg quality disc of the "Kendricks Ruffin Edwards" trio live in Vegas from 1991.
Didnt like this doc. Too broad didnt get too the heart of the issues just broadly mentioned them
This is any awful video. Very hard to listen too .
I'll jus rewatch the movie fam.....this dialogue is boring
She is a terrible interviewer.
Waste of time
This is the most jealous man in the world I talked to Dennis Edwards The temptations was a great group but Otis was so jealous that he couldn't be a lead singer some people are just back up I hope it is realized he messed up the world's greatest group with his jealousy they should put on his headstone the world's jealous man
@levident7135 Yes he was soo jealous of the other lead men!
No he wasn’t jealous you idiot. He made the group why would he be jealous?
@@bettyhughes654 he wanted it to be Otis Williams and The temptations look at the history he wanted only Williams and the distance but he could never sing he was a great backup singer and that's what tore the group up
How could Otis be jealous of a group he put together? A lot of what happened in the movie were made up. Read The Temptations by Otis Williams. You will see no jealousy. He explains why things were different in the movie. Nice pictures in the book. 😊
It's a lot of hearsay in these comments. Read the biography The Temptations by Otis Williams and Patricia Romanowski. 😊😊
It's unfortunate but the seeking of fortune and fame and to be seen and known at any and all. Cost my my the things people will say and do for recognition is astonishing and unfortunate we have lost far to many great people whom lost their great lives when caught up in the SEEKING at any cost trap.

Gm edagdwg thanks for sharing this special story of what happens when God make sure people changed others to enjoy music from black people no matter who they were a forever loving fan Linda j .peace
