The Temptations are an American vocal group known for their success with Motown Records during the 1960s and 1970s. Known for their choreography, distinct harmonies, and flashy wardrobe, the group was highly influential to the evolution of R&B and soul music. Having sold tens of millions of albums, the Temptations are one of the most successful groups in music history.As of 2015, the Temptations continue to perform with one living original member, Otis Williams, still in the lineup.
Featuring five male vocalists and dancers (save for brief periods with less or more members), the group formed in 1960 in Detroit, Michigan under the name "The Elgins". The original founding members were originally members of two rival Detroit vocal groups: Otis Williams, Elbridge "Al" Bryant, and Melvin Franklin of Otis Williams & the Distants, and Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams of the Primes. In 1964, Bryant was replaced by David Ruffin, who was the lead vocalist on a number of the group's biggest hits, including "My Girl" (1964), "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" (1966), and "I Wish It Would Rain" (1967). Ruffin was replaced in 1968 by Dennis Edwards, with whom the group continued to record hit records such as "Cloud Nine" (1969) and "Ball of Confusion (That's What the World is Today)" (1970). The group's lineup has changed frequently since the departures of Kendricks and Paul Williams from the act in 1971. Later members of the group have included singers such as Richard Street, Damon Harris, Ron Tyson, and Ali-Ollie Woodson, with whom the group scored a late-period hit in 1984 with "Treat Her Like a Lady".

The Temptations- "I Wish It Would Rain"
Thanks to their fine-tuned choreography, and even finer harmonies, the Temptations became the definitive male vocal group of the 1960s; one of Motown's most elastic acts, they tackled both lush pop and politically charged funk with equal flair, and weathered a steady stream of changes in personnel and consumer tastes with rare dignity and grace. The Temptations' initial five-man lineup formed in Detroit in 1961 as a merger of two local vocal groups, the Primes and the Distants. Baritone Otis Williams, Elbridge Bryant, and bass vocalist Melvin Franklin were longtime veterans of the Detroit music scene when they joined together in the Distants, who in 1959 recorded the single "Come On" for the local Northern label. Around the same time, the Primes, a trio comprised of tenor Eddie Kendricks, ...

The Temptations and Four Tops competed in a "Battle of the Bands" style Motown 25 soul event, Pasadena Civic Auditorium, California in 1983. The only original or "Classic Five" Temptations performing were Melvin Franklin and Otis Williams, as Eddie Kendricks (who left the group in 1971) and David Ruffin (who left the group in 1968, and was replaced by Dennis Edwards) had a falling out with the group. Paul Williams (who also left the group in 1971) had died in 1973, and Al Bryant (who left the group and was replaced by Ruffin in 1964) had died in 1975. Joining Williams and Franklin were then-Temptations Dennis Edwards, Richard Street, and Ron Tyson. All of the original members of the Four Tops performed: Renaldo "Obie" Benson, Abdul "Duke" Fakir, and Lawrence Payton, with Levi Stubbs provi...

The songs included in this set were all recorded in an era where the single preceded the LP. Do you remember 45's? The songs are ALL hits and recorded between 1964 and 1968 in what has become known as "The Classic Five Era". The Temptations at that time featured Paul Williams, David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin and Otis Williams. With Otis being the only surviving member. The album art shown is of the LP that the song appeared on and the scrolling captions describe the year the song was released as a single. I hope you enjoy this collection of Temptation hits. Indeed they were often imitated but never duplicated.

Tucked away in a quiet, non descript St. Louis suburb lives a music legend, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and a five time Grammy award winner. Say hello to St. Louisan Dennis Edwards. Edwards was the lead singer of the Temptations. Yes, those Temptations. His gritty, soulful, gospel voice was the sound of the Motown group in the late 60s and 70s.
Eddie:
I'm gonna do all the things for you, a girl wants a man to do.
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
I'll sacrifice for you, I'll even do wrong for you.
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
Every minute, every hour.
I'm gonna shower you with love and affection.
Look out it's coming in your direction.
And I'm... I'm gonna make you love me.
Oh, yes I will.
Yes I will.
I'm gonna make you love me.
Oh, yes I will.
Yes I will.
Diana:
Look it here.
My love is strong, you see.
I know you'll never get tired of me.
Oh, baby (Sho' won't) (Oh baby)
And I'm gonna use every trick in the book.
I'll try my best to get you hooked.
Hey, baby (Take me I'm yours) (Hey, baby)
And every night, every day.
I'm gonna say.
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you.
Look out boy, 'cause I'm gonna get you.
I'm gonna make you love me.
Ooo, yes I will.
Yes I will.
And I'm gonna make you love me.
Ooo, yes I will
You know I will.
Every breathe I take.
And each and every step I make.
Brings me closer, baby.
Closer to you.
Otis:
And with each beat of my heart.
For every day we are apart.
I'll hunger for every wasted hour.
Eddie:
And every night and every day.
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you.
Look out 'cause I'm gonna get you.
And I'm gonna make...
I'm gonna make you love me.
Oh, oh. (Yes I will)
I'm gonna make you love me.
Ooo, yes I will. Yes I will.
