      I'm 75 and I listen to the early Motown sounds at least 6days out of 7. Because I have so many Good & Happy memories from this period. I sent Berry Gordy a note a few years ago and Thanked him for being the one that saw a vision and brought that vision to us. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

      Funny you should be 76 years old and so am I. Have been following the Temptations when they hit the market with 'Beauty's only skin déep'. Dennis Edwards moved into the apartment complex my brother stayed in and I used to run his clothes to the cleaners when Dennis was singing with the Contours at the Congo Lounge on Gratiot at Chene street. (Prior to the Temptations.

      Dealing with chronic pain because of his arthritis. I know that pain all to well myself. But, I won't allow them to give me cortisone injections anymore. I had a couple long ago. And stopped doing that because it's worse in the long run and those caused him to develop diabetes. And poor Paul he was suffering from Sickle Cell Anemia and in those days there was no treatment for that, which is why he started drinking to numb the pain. He was never a drinker of alcohol. He carried a thermos of milk with him. He had always loved drinking his milk before. But, it got so difficult dealing with the pain of Sickle Cell Anemia. I had the honor/pleasure of meeting Paul Williams Jr as well as Dennis Edwards back in February 2016 for a Valentines Day concert they did I met all those from The Temptations Revue. And had my picture taken with them as well. They were all very kind and funny too. I told Paul Williams Jr that he looks and sounds a lot like his dad and I think that his dad would be very proud of him. He sings his dads part in the songs. But, now that Dennis passed away in 2018. I don't know if the Temptations Revue is still together performing. Back in 2003/04 I had the pleasure of seeing The Temptations in concert. Unfortunately, there was not meet and greet after the show. They were there with other groups, The Four Tops, The O'Jays and The Whispers. Easily the best concert it was a great show and even the comedian between each act was really funny. Would really love to see them all again. And then meet them too.

    • @diamondblack19
      @diamondblack19 Před 6 měsíci +8

      As I was listening to him on lead, my thoughts were that he probably could of had a great solo career at some point. His voice would only get drowned out by all the lead singers of the group based on the type songs they sang. He had a bluesy type voice and could of been like a Johnnie Taylor, Marvin Sease, or one of the other contemporary blues singers

    Amazing music from an epic group. They were a part of my musical life in the 70's and they still stand out as one of the premier musical groups of all time. The Motown sound of the 60's and 70's will just never be duplicated. A great period for fantastic music. Never, ever tire or listening to it. Not enough superlatives in my vocabulary to cover it.

    Man, o, man. Those cats had the genuine stage magic and shine. Whatever the "IT" factor is, you know it when you see it, or when it hits you. They definitely had tons of "IT". Kings of 5 part harmony. Back when they could truly boast having 5 lead singers. The best nuanced and coordinated dancing to be found to match those world-class harmonies. Powerful when they all were 20 - 25 years old.

He had a good voice as well and he sung lead at one point. Point being, they all contributed in one way or another. When they signed it was Paul Williams that started the craze, not David. They all were amazing performers. They all had a hand in making the Temptations the supergroup that is was. Another White guys opinion from Baltimore who loves Motown, Blues, Jazz, and Soul.

I grew up a jazz lover and l am proud to say the only LPs and CDs that l bought other than jazz are the Temptations. Even though Eddie is my favorite, l must say that the glue to the sound of the group is really Otis. He was the most versatile singer or the group

    I agree with krame99. Without David the group would have never taken off. It was this particular combination of voices, attitudes and personalities that made this group. The majority of the hits by the Temptations were made by these 5 men. They had a few with Dennis Edwards. But they could never replace or duplicate David, Paul or Eddie. The replacements never come close to duplicating the magic that these 5 made. They were the greatest group in my life time.

    • @krame99
      @krame99 Před 9 lety +4

      I also agree with you there was a magic with the group but there were 4 very good singers David,Eddie,Paul and Melvin Otis was a backup at best he never sang lead on any of the groups songs. People just watched the movie and are going by false facts the real facts are that in 1965 the temps had three number one hits one Eddie sang lead on the other two David sang lead on. Now on to 1966 they had 5 number one hits Eddie sang lead on two of them and David sang lead on three of them. Right there are facts look them up do whatever you want David Ruffin is in a class with very few i can't seem to find one guy that can sing like him there was David Ruffin and Little Sonny Brown of The intruders I'm still waiting for two guys to step up and sing like them two. I would have put Levi Stubbs in there but the four tops found a great replacement for him so these are just facts not false to make a movie good when your own boss Barry Gordy says your the best to ever sing for Motown taking about David Ruffin that means something.
