Everybody who sang in this group was SOLID GOLD! KUDOS to Damon he sounded just like Eddie. They were all great singers, great performers and easy on the eyes.
THEY MAY BE THE BEST VOCAL BAND I'VE EVER SEEN, THE FACT THAT THEY CAN DO THOSE ROUTINES FLAWLESSY AND SING PERFECT HARMONIES IS AMAZING TO ME. I SANG IN A VOCAL GROUP FOR A FEW YEARS AND WE COULD REALLY SING BUT WHEN IT CAME TO SINGING AND DOING CHOREOGRAPHED STEPS AT THE SAME TIME......, MANNNNNNNNNN THAT WAS THE HARDEST THING I'VE EVER DONE. SO I GIVE CREDIT WERE CREDIT IS DO. THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING.
Eddie and Damon shook hands and so did David and Dennis so with that being said if they approved of them replacing them why can’t I ❤️❤️❤️I love this lineup ‼️
No one person is bigger than the Group. They group as a whole is about precision and not just in moves but harmonizing. I am a true Temptation fan and I am blessed to still have them singing today.
Yea but at least he got a LOT more shine then Paul, Paul Williams is basically the only Temp that got less lead vocals than his replacements everybody from Richard street to the current baritone they have Terry weeks got WAY more leads then Paul… is top lead are basically “I want a love I can see “ , “mother of mine” and “don’t look back” everything else was all background and one or two liners. Hell even Melvin beats out is replacements with one or two rare leads one I know for sure is “ole man river” Melvin lead that song 🤣
Richard was s great professional singer. He didn't have the unique sounding voice of Eddie, Paul, David, Dennis, or Ollie, but he was definitely a pro who deserves our respect.
Richard was an original Distant and with his group the Monitors, filled in for Paul behind the curtain. You gotta sang to be in any versiln of Temptations.
Richard Street was definitely Eye Candy and those dimples were to die for. He Sang the hell out of “Hey Girl” “ First Time I Ever Saw Your Face” and “Heavenly”. He and Damon Harris were Bad!!
The Grammy-Award winning "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" lineup of Hall of Fame Legend Dennis Edwards, Superlative first tenor of Damon Harris, the Personality Man Richard "Soul" Street , the last surviving orignal Otis Williams & the Earth -deep Melvin Franklin. Each member brings their own quality & style to The Temptations. Damon Harris previously sang lead with The Young Vandals, & Impact while in Philly, Richard Street was lead singer with Motown group The Monitors & Dennis with The Contours.
It’s hard to find a lead singer that fit the sound of the Twmps but some how Otis has found a way to do so.. But these guys here and before them will never be replaced in sound.. Richard Street had a voice that was smooth and flawless those songs just come alive.. And that background is just angelic like makes you wonder what the audience felt.. Richards didn’t get enough credit for his contribution to the group.. He’s legendary. LB February 2022
can we just talk about dennis edwards voice is mixture of david and paul so freaking incredible the temptations greatest singing group of all time dennis edwards one of the best singers of all time
This was definitely an unseen treat, just when you think you saw all the Temptations videos, another one pops up, thats what i love about the Tempts, YOU CAN'T PUT THEM IN A BOX! Temptations forever!
Dennis Edwards can play the piano, keyboards and other instruments. Also, before joining the Temptations, when he was singing solo, he wrote his own songs and played his own music. He is multi-talented.
I can't help gettn' melancholy whenever I play this groups greatest hits. I was four years old when I was introduced to The Temptations via my parents. I remember my momma singing "My Girl" as a lullaby to my younger sister...thats a long time ago but only if you count in term of years. RIP Temptations no longer with us.🥲✌️
I love this video, Downloaded the first song from Itunes after I heard it. Also love seeing closeup's of Dennis' beautiful face, even his sweat looks good! Thanks for posting.
Profiles in Pittsburgh Thanks for Sharing this Fabulous Songs, from Temptations Live in Paris. Love Their Dancing, Their Sharp Black Outfits, They made me feel Real Special. Thanks Otis Williams for loving All Us Ladies!!!😗😚🤗
Too cute when Damon says "little ole me" right after he's introduced. But how bout they murder " the first time ever I saw your face." Especially Richard Dammm!!!!!
Well guys I was born and raise in Detroit, no everything about Motown, We all have our favorites, but you can not say that David was the best lead. Before David join the tempts Paul the was Lead singer along with Eddie James Kendricks, and every member in the original group could sang lead my brothers. My favorite was Eddie greatest ever god bless.
In My Opinion The Late Otis "Damon" Harris Was The Closest You Could Get To The Original Voice The Late Eddie Kendricks Extraordinary Voices!!! #1 Eddie Kendricks #1A Damon Harris!!!
He was not the best, just the only one chosen. Stylistics, Chi-Lites and groups like that had better falsettos than that. Larry Graham has a better Falsetto.
EDDIE KENRICKS SPENT THE WEEKEND AT MY HOUSE IN 1980 WITH A MAN BY THE NAME OF LEE HOLMES HE WORKED FOR MUHAMMAD ALI. EDDIE WAS SO GORGEOUS. BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS. FABULOUS
@gunsmoke2015 The Tempts did write a few of their early songs before Smokey became their producer. They also wrote and produced their 1975 album The Temptations Do The Temptations. In 1984 Otis Williams and Ali-Ollie Woodson who was lead singer at the time co-wrote their classic Treat Her Like A Lady which hit # 2 R&B and # 48 Pop
Please post the other 2 parts to The Temptations Live Paris 1973. I can not get enough of looking at the face of one the finest men I have ever seen--Dennis Edwards.
I love this song No More cloudy days. But most of all how The Temptations can stand and one space and strut themselves to the song. That what makes them so amazing dancing singing and their outfits are just special for all of us ladies to look at. Thank you Dr Otis Williams again for such amazing men beside you in this video. Merry Christmas 2022. Love you forever sister Nora Parker
After Vietnam 70-71 I resumed my career as a professional drummer touring with many older groups.I. had the honor of backing up this exact lineup at the jazz festival in Cincinnati in 72. Their road drummer is mel brown, why he had to fly home escapes me now. They were God given sweethearts to work with
The great Dennis Edwards, David Ruffin, and Ollie Ali Woodson as lead singers (and Damon you’re sounding great bro RIP). Nobody like them! And Otis lived through them all? Wow!
A beautiful voice is indeed a musical instrument. And these guys have that! People who claim they are not true singers because they don't write or play instruments must feel the same way about Pavorotti, Ella, Leontyne Price, Sinatra, just to name a few.
The best one (replacement for Eddie was Damon) in my opinion. And OMG Glenn Carl Leonard was a strong second......who can beat his redention of Silent Night-----superb my man-----nobody else comes close....Glenn you put your stamp on that brother.......and Damon you did on Love Woke Me Up ......and also Papa Was A Rolling Stone and so many others!
David Ruffins basically was a ladies man with his voice, Dennis was a Man's Man, you're all comparing Apples to Oranges can we just say that the Temps were one of THE greatest acts EVER to come from Motown. Ali was in his own class wonderful voice what better compliment you can give a vocalist I don't know.
Otis Williams, can't escape the contribution of Otis"Damon" Harris. It cemented in the group history although Williams gives flipping excuses as to why he was released.
I love Dennis singing not too loud but in harmony with the group which makes this a truly magnificent video. All of them in sync with one another. Thanks again for this video and all of them singing at this special for Mike. Wow what amazing performance for us Temptation and fans around the world. Sister forever Nora Parker
Damon had one of the smoothest and strongest(falsetto) tenor voices i've ever heard.Richard Street brought his own great style to the" Temptations".Otis need to sit his ass down!!! Otis was the reason for the departure of some of the greatest talent from the" Temptations"Eddie Levert of the" Ojays"once said Why is it that the one who can't sing(no talent) in the group always want to be the leader of the group? .
Richard was Traveling and singing back stage with the Temptations while Paul was going through his struggles when he passed Richard became his replacement.
Just as good as their rare 'Temptations in Japan" album, featuring the same line-up, which was just as good as "The Temptations Live!" (featuring the classic line-up) and "Live at London's Talk Of The Town" (featuring Dennis, Eddie, Paul, Otis & Melvin) - the best recording live albums the Temptations did (along with "The Temptations Live in Concert" (at Harrah's) DVD with Dennis Edwards, Richard Street, Ron Tyson, Melvin Franklin and Otis Williams.) There is a post of this entire concert on CZcams as well.
Truly the Granddaddy of all soul vocal groups. Nothing in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and Loving the people he made-Francis Chan.
ALL OF THEM WAS CLASSICAL MEN AND ALL BROTHERS FROM DIFFERENT MOTHERS AND THEY LOVED EDDIE AND DAVID THEY NOT GONNA GET ANY BODY TO JUST SING DAVID AN EDDIE'S SONGS NONE OF THEM ARE UNSUNG TO ME. 1973 I WAS 12 SHIT IT WAS WORTH GETTIN IN TROUBLE SNEAKING MY BROTHERS TEMPTATION ALBUMS BROOKLYN NYC
To me Damon is to Eddie like Kobe is To Jordan! Just as much talent but because Eddie did it first it know way he can be in front of Eddie! If Damon was in the group and Eddie was the replacement I think peoples opinions was sway a little! Just my opinion! @Lawplanet12 you make a great point!
Great video. Is this available on DVD? Damon was awesome. IMO he is the only falsetto/first tenor of all the Temps, past and present, who sounded like Eddie Kendricks.
Could you please post the rest of the concert, of the Temptations live in Paris 1973 pt 2 is missing..and I was just about to go and pop some popcorn!! and listen to the world's best male singing group Darn...what a tease!!! lol
@penmastertoch The Temptations were perfectionists: They looked better than any group out there; they sang and danced better; their stage presence was unrivaled; their harmonies were unrivaled and no group has as many hit records. Berry Gordy had a formula for his artists, which explains why the Tempts never wrote songs for themselves, however, it proved to be a winning formula because it allowed the artists to focus on the vocals and stage presentation. No group will ever compare 2 the Tempts
malik long Damon and Dennis were my favorites. I love their voices was extraordinary!! Melvin was my all time favorite bass vocal. And that man enjoyed himself when he danced. Sad to think that all if my favorite Temps are now passed on RIP Melvin, Damon, and just today, Dennis. Legacy lives 4ever.
2024 who's still here thank God for his love because God woke me up this morning 🌄 🙏 🙌 ❤️ 💕
Everybody who sang in this group was SOLID GOLD! KUDOS to Damon he sounded just like Eddie. They were all great singers, great performers and easy on the eyes.
No he doesn't sound like him I can tell the difference in their voices by a mile apart 😅😅
Temptations sounding so good. Never be another group like the Tempts. RIP Richard, Melvin, Dennis and Damon. Only one original left. Long live Otis.
Live in London the temptatio
ns
R.I.P to all the Great Temps we have lost over the years. Long Live The Temps.👑👑👑👑👑👑.
Damon's voice is so nice...I love that little,"Hi!".
These guys are and was fabulous entertainers ❤.
THEY MAY BE THE BEST VOCAL BAND I'VE EVER SEEN, THE FACT THAT THEY CAN DO THOSE ROUTINES FLAWLESSY AND SING PERFECT HARMONIES IS AMAZING TO ME. I SANG IN A VOCAL GROUP FOR A FEW YEARS AND WE COULD REALLY SING BUT WHEN IT CAME TO SINGING AND DOING CHOREOGRAPHED STEPS AT THE SAME TIME......, MANNNNNNNNNN THAT WAS THE HARDEST THING I'VE EVER DONE. SO I GIVE CREDIT WERE CREDIT IS DO. THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING.
The guys in your group were probably just not good dancers or didn't want to. I wish to be in a Vocal Group.
Eddie and Damon shook hands and so did David and Dennis so with that being said if they approved of them replacing them why can’t I ❤️❤️❤️I love this lineup ‼️
This is the best Post Paul and Eddie lineup hands down. Glenn Louis and Ron couldn't hold a candle to who they replaced
Bang on!! wish more people would see it like that, Every single person who sang as a Temp was Top of the Tree!!!!
Not everyone but most🤣
No one person is bigger than the Group. They group as a whole is about precision and not just in moves but harmonizing. I am a true Temptation fan and I am blessed to still have them singing today.
I wish some of the members knew that
Dennis had one of the GREATEST, most powerful, commanding, SANGINGEST voices in music history folks!
Yessir!!
That was David!🤩
@@TB-ct2xwDennis sings like a preacher meanwhile David has that raspy Gritty sound. You can't go wrong with either.
The greatest voice
Richard Street was so underrated. He had such a nice voice. He was slept on.
Not really. He wasn't slept on. His voice was amazing...he sings THE fav Xmas song they have that I absolutely adore!
@@robinlight Ummm no, Robin, not if you're talking about "Silent Night." Dennis Edwards, Glenn Leonard, and Melvin are the leads on that song.
@@lecuyerdooley1084 CORRECT
czcams.com/video/ftKG0Ux2-yo/video.html
Yea but at least he got a LOT more shine then Paul, Paul Williams is basically the only Temp that got less lead vocals than his replacements everybody from Richard street to the current baritone they have Terry weeks got WAY more leads then Paul… is top lead are basically “I want a love I can see “ , “mother of mine” and “don’t look back” everything else was all background and one or two liners. Hell even Melvin beats out is replacements with one or two rare leads one I know for sure is “ole man river” Melvin lead that song 🤣
Dennis Edwards had such a commanding voice. Loved him up front..
and don't ever, ever, sleep on the great Richard Street!! Brother was and still is underrated!!!
Richard was s great professional singer. He didn't have the unique sounding voice of Eddie, Paul, David, Dennis, or Ollie, but he was definitely a pro who deserves our respect.
He brought a lot to the Temptations with his style. He didn't sound like them because he was Richard.
Great great voice sent from God 9 to spread love through his words brother Dennis cousin Edwards from the Vernon side of the family
Richard was an original Distant and with his group the Monitors, filled in for Paul behind the curtain. You gotta sang to be in any versiln of Temptations.
@@dme1016his voice definitely unique smooth yet gritty style of singing his voice is top tier
Richard Street was definitely Eye Candy and those dimples were to die for. He Sang the hell out of “Hey Girl” “ First Time I Ever Saw Your Face” and “Heavenly”. He and Damon Harris were Bad!!

Wow extra butter live sounds 🔥 😋
RIP Damon.. thanks for sharing your art with us!
can we just talk about dennis edwards voice is mixture of david and paul so freaking incredible the temptations greatest singing group of all time dennis edwards one of the best singers of all time
A most beautiful version of First Time Ever I Saw Your Face!!!!!
czcams.com/video/Cw9t1QJsPkw/video.html
They look and sound so good!😍
Dennis's background vocals were phenomenal!
He shuffles he sings 1st Tenor when Damon sings lead then sings Baritone when Richard sings lead its crazy
Damon's voice was like satin. I love this.
So close to Kendrick’s. If u didn’t see him would you know the difference.
No way I can tell their voices apart by a mile,Eddie tenor is way more thinner
This was definitely an unseen treat, just when you think you saw all the Temptations videos, another one pops up, thats what i love about the Tempts, YOU CAN'T PUT THEM IN A BOX! Temptations forever!
Richard Street I love. My favorite Temptations after the originals.
Dennis Edwards can play the piano, keyboards and other instruments. Also, before joining the Temptations, when he was singing solo, he wrote his own songs and played his own music. He is multi-talented.
You can also see videos of a young Dennis, tall & lean, dancing on stage as a new member of The Contours! Watch him now!
Aside from the classic five this was my favorite lineup of the temptations
all great singers. dennis added soul to the group...lovely harmony.
Dennis hand the perfect voice for that era no 1 could top it.
No doubt
Just went to Soul church, Thanks Temptations, this video was a Treat! Being a Detroiter, we were lucky to have them!
wow! this is rare
thanks for posting, i love the Tempts back then
great show every show they do is good i am a temps fan
So much talent in that group. The choreography. Dennis, Damon, Richard . . . amazing.
I LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE BY THE TEMPS, THERE HARMONIES ARE SO ON POINT. AND THOSE JUMPSUITS ARE A TRIP. LOLLL
These were MY Tempts! Love the originals, but these 5 were the Bomb!
Good but not that good
@@garymayfield5995i blame that more on the songwriting tho
I could care less ,not no where near the classic 5".................period
I can't help gettn' melancholy whenever I play this groups greatest hits. I was four years old when I was introduced to The Temptations via my parents. I remember my momma singing "My Girl" as a lullaby to my younger sister...thats a long time ago but only if you count in term of years. RIP Temptations no longer with us.🥲✌️
Love Woke Me Up This Morning...could have been a Gospel song. It is for me❤Terrific!
Eddie is my favorite singer... I love tenors, singers with amazing vibrato, falsetto.
I love this video, Downloaded the first song from Itunes after I heard it. Also love seeing closeup's of Dennis' beautiful face, even his sweat looks good! Thanks for posting.
R.I.P. Damon Harris Baltimore , Maryland was so proud of you for holding your own with Temptation.Yes , Eddie said you sounded so much like him 😀
I realized how great Damon Harris was. Thank you for posting this great footage. Temps are always marvelous!

Amazing collaboration body of work! These gentleman were rockin it! Kudos!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Too cute when Damon says "little ole me" right after he's introduced. But how bout they murder " the first time ever I saw your face." Especially Richard Dammm!!!!!
Great line up, Damon Harris was the cream of the crop, they sound look great.
I just love the music they made, thanks guys xx
R.I.P. my friend Damon. Love you and miss you already.
The Tempts should be the template of all male vocal groups.
stassman75 they are the template for all male groups. The problem is no group today, black, white, Hispanic can even reach the type of greatness.
@@jujuzeeDbecause nowadays it's easier to be rapper to actually be a singer you NEED talent and a lot of the guys today don't have it.
Well guys I was born and raise in Detroit, no everything about Motown, We all have our favorites, but you can not say that David was the best lead. Before David join the tempts Paul the was Lead singer along with Eddie James Kendricks, and every member in the original group could sang lead my brothers. My favorite was Eddie greatest ever god bless.
My favorite too
God Bless Damon & Richard!
beautifully done damon. r. i. p. your music will live on
Slamming as always, this was a good lineup
In My Opinion The Late Otis "Damon" Harris Was The Closest You Could Get To The Original Voice The Late Eddie Kendricks Extraordinary Voices!!!
#1 Eddie Kendricks
#1A Damon Harris!!!
+Jose Ortiz SO TRUE..
He was not the best, just the only one chosen. Stylistics, Chi-Lites and groups like that had better falsettos than that. Larry Graham has a better Falsetto.
Glenn Leonard was a good singing all of Eddie Kendricks parts.
YES, YES FROM BALTIMORE. BALTIMORE'S FINEST. I LOVE IN MY OPINION. LOVE HIM, LOVE HIM FOREVERMORE KISSES
EDDIE KENRICKS SPENT THE WEEKEND AT MY HOUSE IN 1980 WITH A MAN BY THE NAME OF LEE HOLMES HE WORKED FOR MUHAMMAD ALI. EDDIE WAS SO GORGEOUS. BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS. FABULOUS
Richard Street what a voice!!🎉🎉🎉
Bass player is amazing
Whenever Otis looks back, man, he sees a lotta dead Temptations.
Thats not funny👎🏾

DAMON WAS FROM BALTIMORE WHERE I LIVE. BALTIMORE FINEST
This is an excellent show. Thanks for sharing....
"Damon Was The Closest Tenor Member That Sounded Like Young Eddie Kendrick!!!"("R.I.P. Damon ("First-Tenor")Harris."😢😢😢😢😢
Dennis is so handsome. He was by far the best looking Temptation.
Even better than Al or Eddie? 🤣
I love Melvin and his voice
Melvin added the power and torque to each song, the roar of a lion
Great songs and great performances, these brothers brought it everytime they hit the stage.
Damon gave Eddie a run for his money
On what planet ,not on this one
ha i saw them in paris in 2007 w/ the four tops. lovely.
Please post the other 2 parts to The Temptations Live Paris 1973. I can not get enough of looking at the face of one the finest men I have ever seen--Dennis Edwards.
Rest in peace, Richard Street.
I love this song No More cloudy days. But most of all how The Temptations can stand and one space and strut themselves to the song.

After Vietnam 70-71 I resumed my career as a professional drummer touring with many older groups.I. had the honor of backing up this exact lineup at the jazz festival in Cincinnati in 72. Their road drummer is mel brown, why he had to fly home escapes me now. They were God given sweethearts to work with
The great Dennis Edwards, David Ruffin, and Ollie Ali Woodson as lead singers (and Damon you’re sounding great bro RIP). Nobody like them! And Otis lived through them all? Wow!
Damon Harris is definitely one of the best tenors the Tempts ever had, what a voice. This was a great configuration of the group.
You would have thought it was Kendrick’s if you didn’t see this video. Another great voice unmatched by todays singers.
IMO David Ruffin was the best lead vocalist. He could sound smooth when he needed to and then flip it and get gritty.
Eddie was versatile to no matter what range he was singing a song in the sweetness was always still there
A beautiful voice is indeed a musical instrument. And these guys have that! People who claim they are not true singers because they don't write or play instruments must feel the same way about Pavorotti, Ella, Leontyne Price, Sinatra, just to name a few.
The best one (replacement for Eddie was Damon) in my opinion. And OMG Glenn Carl Leonard was a strong second......who can beat his redention of Silent Night-----superb my man-----nobody else comes close....Glenn you put your stamp on that brother.......and Damon you did on Love Woke Me Up ......and also Papa Was A Rolling Stone and so many others!

Incredible drum performance too!
My guess is that that is the one and only James Gadson on the skins. EPIC
R.I.P Richard Street :'(
Their voices are their instruments, young brothers!
Damon had one of the smoothest and strongest(falsetto) tenor voices i've ever heard.Richard Street brought his own great style to the" Temptations".Otis need to sit his ass down!!!

Otis didn’t allow bullshit, drugs, and no shows…A great leader. We’re on the outside looking in….No one likes everyone!
@@keithburch3238 Ain't nobody coming to see Otis! Otis wish he could work it like David Ruffin!!
David left in '68, and that's when Edwards stepped in. And Richard took Paul's spot when he was in the hospital, and permanently after Paul's death
Richard was Traveling and singing back stage with the Temptations while Paul was going through his struggles when he passed Richard became his replacement.
RIP Damon Harris Temptation4ever
Missin Eddie and David the 1st Temps
I TOTALLY AGREE I HOPE AMAZON WILL ONE DAY
'Love woke me up this morning' sung by damon harris

Truly the Granddaddy of all soul vocal groups. Nothing in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and Loving the people he made-Francis Chan.
There was no other motown group could come near to the temptations not even now
ALL OF THEM WAS CLASSICAL MEN AND ALL BROTHERS FROM DIFFERENT MOTHERS AND THEY LOVED EDDIE AND DAVID THEY NOT GONNA GET ANY BODY TO JUST SING DAVID AN EDDIE'S SONGS NONE OF THEM ARE UNSUNG TO ME. 1973 I WAS 12 SHIT IT WAS WORTH GETTIN IN TROUBLE SNEAKING MY BROTHERS TEMPTATION ALBUMS BROOKLYN NYC
To me Damon is to Eddie like Kobe is To Jordan! Just as much talent but because Eddie did it first it know way he can be in front of Eddie! If Damon was in the group and Eddie was the replacement I think peoples opinions was sway a little! Just my opinion! @Lawplanet12 you make a great point!
Brilliant
Love those outfits
Beautiful
I love CZcams. I would have never seen this concert otherwise. I wonder where people get all these films?
Great video. Is this available on DVD? Damon was awesome. IMO he is the only falsetto/first tenor of all the Temps, past and present, who sounded like Eddie Kendricks.
I agree with you Damon I went to Forrest Park High School in Baltimore Maryland with him 1970
Actually better. I 5hi k cancer held Exdie back.
