The Temptations interview w/Lloyd Thaxton (1966) | Live on The Lloyd Thaxton Show | RARE FOOTAGE

For today my Temptations Community, I would like to share something very special with you all! Here we have a very rare footage of the Temptations being interviewed by television host Lloyd Thaxton on his show titled "The Lloyd Thaxton Show" in early 1966. On the show, they performed "Get Ready," "The Way You Do Things You Do," and "My Girl." Later in the video, The Tempts get a laugh out of Lloyd when he tries to make a tune for them to do their smooth routine but everything goes wrong lol.
Enjoy and as always, Temptations Forever.

Hopefully someday the entirety of The Tempts’ appearance on this show will resurface!!

Fr tho, I'm still trying to find it!

[@Buddybelly08]

I love how they conduct themselves. Motown tried to train their artist how to be professional on camera. They stopped doing artist development in the 70s which was a big loss.

[@bustabass9025]

...even when the host tries to clown up the act with stupid questions and other dumshit.

[@xkanyewestfanx2009]

Wish we could have heard them speak more.

[@lydiaraymond2700]

Witnessing legends in the making.

@@antoniatilley2589 amen!!

[@juliemcleod9869]

I don't like the way he is talking to them either. Very cringe worthy!

[@aadddtedhxh]

Dang that "interviewer" loved the sound of his own voice....he didn't even let them speak smh

[@littledrumminboy5779]

As a caucasian, please allow me to say - "Ugghh...white people 🤦‍♂️"
😂 These early interviews were the worst, but The Temps were always pure class.

[@temptin_temptations]

60s Comedy what can you say man lol but the Tempts stayed classy

[@antoniatilley2589]

I wonder what Paul said to him?

[@temptin_temptations]

I think he said "that wasn't even the chorus" lol

[@neilprtr]

Holy annoying host. This could have been a great interview if this guy would have shut up and let them do the talking

[@Branner]

Lloyd Thaxton is a complete ass here. A totally unprofessional interview. Still, the Tempts kept their cool.
