Yes I loved the way he danced 🥰
Yess he was incredible ❤️
He did sigh 😔 rip legend
Yes. Paul ' BEST DANCER'. 🤗😍 LOVE IT...
If I don’t have a friend as loyal as Eddie was to Paul, I don’t need it.
Facts
Big ole facts
nah frfr
100 percent truth🌌
AMEN!!!
I still think Paul Williams needs an Unsung special episode as well.
Mary Joe I’ve said that a million times. He absolutely does. Ruffin has one. Paul should too
Mr. Paul Williams definitely deserves one. I thought he was a superb performer and vocalist
Christian payton did a fantastic job in the movie , he really captured paul's energy , passion and depression
I agree 🙌 Paul was the 💖 and soul of The Temptations 🎙️🎵🎶 His Unsung special should have been done years ago 👍💯💯‼️
HoneyHoneyBaby 💓💓🔥
The casting of the Temptations movie was flawless. Literally ALL of them like the real Temps
I thought movie otis looked just like real life dennis
George Cotton ..The guy who portrayed Paul in that movie was a highschool mate back in the day.
@@kelvendyson1508 he did a great job
All except Blue and Otis they looked spot on to each other.
The actors looked a bit more handsome to me.
Paul Williams has always been my favorite Temptation. He never got the full respect and recognition he deserved
“I want a love I can see” ,and “Don’t look back are my favorites “ rip Paul Williams
Him suffering from sickle cell is a very important piece of the story, especially if that contributed to alcoholism.
Mr. Williams performed many times in pain....he was the one that wouldn't drink alcohol, but his pain was so unbearable to the point where he started drinking to ease the pain.
Paul was underated. He was my favorite TEMP. No one could sing, "Dont Look Back" like him. He sang from the heart when he sung a song. Eddie, truly was loyal to his friends. To the TEMPS who have passed away, RIP.
Why would they leave his health issues out the movie...they made it seem like it was the bottle...RIP TO MY FAVIORITE TEMPTATION
And like so many others STARR, I thought the story was true.
Jasmon2020 all true stories have that Hollywood spin on it!
It was partly Otis' spin. The families of the other members were really upset about that movie. The movie even made it seem like Melvin Franklin (Blue) committed suicide at Otis' mother's house. That wasn't true either. He had a seizure, went into a coma and died. I liked the movie, but most of it was sensationalized fiction.
Can anyone explain more about Paul William's death? Information on internet doesnt make sense. How could he use his right hand to shoot himself on the left side of the head?
I heard Paul was killed. Most likely by one of his girlfriends..
The fact that the sickle cell anemia wasn’t mentioned in the movie after all the unnecessary shit we heard about Otis’ life pisses me off.
I know right.
I have sickle cell as well. I'm in so much pain at the moment. He accomplished so much. He & Prodigy really inspire me to go after my goals & dreams! Dealing with excruciating pain isn't easy. My right hip collapsed due to sickle cell so I'm waiting on a hip replacement surgery date.
GorgeouslyReal T.V. WOW. Sending light and blessings your way. Who knows what Paul had to go through with a medical system from the 70s. They didn’t tell a very important part of his story
Otis is still seeking something..NARCISSIST
Che Debnam terrible!
David said it right in the "Don't nobody come to see you Otis"
Otis is still living he knows what happened to every group member
I remember as a little girl at my family reunion in AL and a pink Cadillac pulled up. I remember asking my dad, "who is that in the pretty pink car?" He smiled in said that's your cousin. It wasn't Paul but his dad driving Paul's candi! I never forget that day.
Paul Williams had dance moves,he had the style,he had the look. May his soul R.I.P.
To be fair, a person could look, or be happy one day; and then be in despair the next.
Paul Williams was dealing with a lot of serious issues at one time. His Sickle Cell Anemia illness is enough by itself.
Actually in a matter of hours.
Buhkamae Samuel Very true. We keep sweeping mental illness issues under the rug and it's not healthy.
Jajon Johnson Yep.
@brainsareus.. This could not be more true. People nowadays are holding in so much pain and are putting up such a good facade for family and friends. The social media age I believe has intensified this natural tendency. I'm in Sales, and I have a customer who's 29 year old daughter committed suicide. I used to see her at the front desk when I stopped by his office on business. She never seemed down or the least bit upset. She was always nice, sweet and had a great personality. My customer (the Dad) told me that neither he or anyone else had the slightest idea that she was contemplating this and she always seemed fine. It completely broke my heart when he told me that. She left behind 4 beautiful children too. All you can do is try to love people as much as you can while they are here and be there for them when they need you. Always treat people right.. with respect and dignity. It makes a difference!
As a person who has sickle cell, it bothers me that they didn’t include this in the movie. There are a lot of psychological effects of sickle cell disease. Imagine being so talented and having all these great ideas in your mind yet your body has a mind of its own. In 2020 people STILL don’t know much about sickle cell disease. Imagine suffering in silence without the medical advances we have now that STILL fall short. Imagine saying you don’t feel well and because people can’t physically see your pain, they brush over it holding you to the same standards without accommodations that are often given to those with other ailments. It’s torment. They did not tell his story correctly but I bet no one took the time to truly understand. So he escaped through alcohol which made the disease worse. However, I agree with David Ruffin...make the suicide part make sense. Sounds like homicide 🤷🏽♀️
As someone who also has SCD, I can actually believe the suicide part. I’m not saying those who knew him and doubt it are wrong, because they knew him so they would know best. But the pain of SCD and like you say wanting to do so much but your body constantly failing you, the depression that causes, plus not seeing an end to the pain, a solution for it, that’s enough to just want to end it. To just want peace from your body.
TBoz has it and wrote a book detailing her struggles. There's a free faith-based, black movie on CZcams about a character with it.
Him having sickle cell was never mentioned in the movie, also possible homicide. Wow!
Sandra J ,I read the book written by Otis and I can’t recall whether or not this was mentioned . The book did talk about Melvin’s health issues
I feel it was pertinent to bring light on Paul's health problems in the film/movie, (which was awesome by the way) because prior to this knowledge, I just thought bro. Paul developed a bad booze habit on the road, got out of control with it and committed suicide. Damn, include all relevant facts of someone's personal life, if their story affected the masses of ppl!
Ik one of his sons which name is Paul but he’s from Detroit he said his dad ain’t kill him self
@@bigmoeskeezy6269 Wow.
They wanted to portray Paul as just an alchi and depressed over being fired when he was never fired.
Y'all I did the most and made a playlist of every song Paul led bc he's definitely my favorite voice. It is 5 hours long. He lead SO MANY SONGS that didn't get released or were album only tracks! He really could sing anything!
OHHHH NILE BENJAMIN YOUR LIST IS DEFINITELY ALLL THAT AND MORE THANK YOU FOR SHARING 😍🥰👑❤️👑
Are they on apple ?
He was my favorite Temptation....I still play his music today....LLPW😍
I do too. Who You're Gonna Run To, Lonely, Lonely Man Am I. He really should've had more like leads. And the leads he had were worth promoting. I read Otis' book and Richard Street's book. I got a different view of Paul from both. The impression I received from Otis'book was that Paul was a no-show nonsense man. Richard stated that Paul went along to get along. I can't see Paul the way Richard described him. If that was the case, many of the Motown roster was this way. A lot of them knew what was really going on, but didn't say anything until later in books. Some of the posts mention depression. Part of it was probably due to not getting the recognition for his vocals. Imagine starting out as a one of the primary leads and pushed into the background. I love David Ruffin. He had it up until he passed away. But Paul should've been given more leads as well.
Rest in paradise paul Williams.When I heard you sing. I closed my eyes and his voice hit my soul. Lay your spirit to rest paul there is no more pain to endure🌺
Paul Williams had style and a great voice. 😢
Paul Williams Has Kill Himself 😨😢
Yes , yes
He was killed
Paul Williams was murdered just like Sam Cooke. Two greats gone way too soon 😓😓
" YES SIR "!!! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE PAUL"!!!😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
All five of them were "the soul of the temptations". The chemistry they had between them and within the group lit the world on fire and it still does to this day. The Temptations Forever!!!
I can't believe "I want a love I can see" never charted. Just goes to show even good songs don't get recognized. I like all the songs he sang lead on.
I would've bought "I want a love I can see" before I bought a sandwich!🤚🏽🤚🏽🤭🤗
Me too, my friend.
I sholl like I want a love I can see.
There needs to be a proper and well thought out bio on this man. It's been long overdue.
Wiki-pedia factpiods again!!
Redd Blitz what s happen brother
Yes
Indeed
Redd Blitz FACTS!!!! I AGREE
His lead on the song "Don't look Back" is one of the best songs to ever come out of MOTOWN.
Thomas Sperduti Try this czcams.com/video/Hk9xnsVygZQ/video.html
❤️ that song
I love that song. He tore it up. 😊
This case definitely needs to be reopened there is no way this man killed himself!
I was married to Paula Williams the daughter of Paul Williams and you right... I had started to look into it, but I was told by some people, to leave it alone!
I said that at the time. Paul was always my favorite Temp since childhood. Something just didn't add up. I guess we will never know.
Why would they tell you to leave it alone? What really happened. That sounds very suspect..
Mean drunk people will be doing stuff when they don’t mean too do. But you right it no way Paul did kill himself...
Exactly! He didn't kill himself! Being found in the alley, was proof! 😪
I want a love I can see.. is the best song ever...
Love Yu2 try this czcams.com/video/Hk9xnsVygZQ/video.html
Yassssssss💯
His For Once In My Life...one of his best.
I like... i wish it woukd rain.
Omg Yesss..you can feel it when he sings 💞
I Want A Love I Can See is a great song! Love his voice on it!
Wow! Now him being an alcoholic puts things in perspective. See it wasn’t told that he suffered from sickle cell anemia and as a result he turned to alcohol 🍺 to ease the pain he was going through. In the book and movie it portrayed him as being just an alcoholic who took one sip and got addicted. I’m now seeing it differently than before I came with little knowledge of mr Paul Williams and come out knowing a lot more about him. Thank you so much for this information.
Paul Williams Sr. , heart and soul of the tempts
First I've heard of this information surrounding our brother Paul passing, I know one thing, just like brother David said, why would Paul drive down the street near Motown (in an alley) in his underwear, and blew his brains out from the left side of his head with the gun in his right hand. It don't make sense.
Sekhem Asaru 🤭 wow
Sekhem Asaru it’s physically impossible that’s a staged incident I.E. a homicide! It sounds like a case for dr Michael Baden
Yea, sound like it was a set up or some shit
Who would let their loved one leave out the house in they underwear ??? I'll wait not long tho
Stephanie Harper now that’s an angle I missed, but you brought it to light, so now we can get even closer to the truth.
"If it's Love that you're running from. there's no hiding place." Paul's greatest performance if you ask me. He owns that sing!
Paul was an AWESOME live performer
The Best. For once in my life is the greatest song
Noble Prince omg yes. when I listen to that song I cry
@@monatoney3474 Grow a pair.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I don't see how none of those songs were hits bc Paul killed those leads
Yes...Paul sure tore it up on "Mother of Mine"..."Want Love I can See"...and "How can I Forget You"...just to name a few.
@@7kayne7 want love I can see was the song....Paul was so soulful
Otis was jealous of everyone in the group.
Girl my fave is Don't Look Back. He had the best voice to me. More soulful and real. Like you felt what he felt
@@christinajames6115 That was my older sister's fav. Mine was Who You Gonna Run To and Lonely, Lonely Man Am I. But anything by Paul was my favorite!
His voice was outstanding. My favorite temptation... miss him
What a voice he had. Such a soulful singer. I loved his voice. I didn't realize Paul was born in 1939. I thought he was born later either in 1942 or 1944. Well that's not that important. His death did seem suspicious. Even in the temptations movie it seemed strange. May he continue to R.I.P.
Some one hater killed him...
David was a good singer as well.
Yeah, Paul was the oldest Temptation. Him & Eddie were both born in 1939.
Daniel Robinson Boy...he sing, his nephew name is Leroy, looks, sings literally identical. Lives in Ypsi
Love I can See should have charted easy, it wasn't promoted right, one of best songs in the world.
Best group back in the day.
I like Paul 😍..he was very underated, God love and bless his soul, Paul Williams ❤️
I love Paul Williams didn't know he was sick great story rip paul you are love
I have sickle cell as well. I'm in so much pain at the moment. He accomplished so much. He & Prodigy really inspire me to go after my goals & dreams! Dealing with excruciating pain isn't easy. My right hip collapsed due to sickle cell so I'm waiting on a hip replacement surgery date.
These guys are the GOAT
Fashoooo
Paul is my favorite Temptaion. I love all the guys actually!! Paul and David’s deaths were always very odd to me. Even when watching the movie I thought the suicide was very sudden and out of place. Now learning more about MoTown and their artists, I definitely raise an eyebrow to them.
@Toni Sumblin yes he was speeding up his disease. Aunt died of sickle cell anemia by her 45th birthday. Very painful
According to David Ruffin's daughter on Unsung, he died in a hospital!
@@MD-DLive his death is public records they list when, where, and how you died
I loved Temptations and Marvin Gaye the best from that label. I remember when the movie aired my aunt's saying how lots of stuff was inaccurate. That's because Otis ass was the one telling the story. He didnt tell his dirt he did. I hated how he portrayed Paul as a fall down drunk that killed himself. He never told the most important thing,his sickle cell. In those days there was not much known about the disease. I was diagnosed at 2 years old in 1972 by the Air Force military hospital overseas. They knew more about it than the states,they told my parents I wouldnt have kids or live pass 40. I think Paul's schedule,traveling and constant dancing on his feet aggravated his illness n he started drinking to try to numb the pain. That lifestyle was surely stressful and stress is the main trigger of a pain crisis. I wish they wouldve been more understanding of his sickness but they were like replace him. Somedays the pain is so bad I cant get out of bed to pee,cant walk or function. Nowadays there is better meds n treatments. He was always my favorite because I understood what he went through. I wished he had more support from his group and label. Maybe he wanted to keep it a secret. That's what Tboz from TLC did. I never told my boyfriends,friends or anybody either because u dont want to be looked at as the sick one n have people feel sorry for you...There will never be a better voice than Paul, Eddie and David. ...shannon b
Keelan Brown Shannon. Thank you so much for your comment! I’m a white woman of 62. I’ve suffered from Lupus, a close cousin SC. It’s horrible, you’re correct. But that film was produced by Susanne De Passé, one of Berry Gordys longtime partners. Don’t blame Otis too much for the misinformation in the movie. De Passé and Gordy are the main influences in that respect.
PS. Pray you’re feeling better. ❤️🙏
@@KDL861 Thank you. I thought about it n I just don't like Otis n that's probably why I blamed him so much. I know the higher ups control the group n have their own interest to protect. I felt like he could've been more loyal to him as his friend n group member knowing what he was suffering from. This is nothing new how the outside agitators meddle with the group dynamic. I have a friend who has lupus n I know he struggles having to take steroids so I relate to your pain. During this crisis I hope u r staying home,staying hydrated n staying warm stay safe ,god bless......Shannon b
@@shannondbrown1552 Thank you so much for this!!!! I'm a research hound but I always wondered and KNEW there was way more to Paul Williams than put out to the public and online. Paul always stuck with me and now I know why. 💙
@@d.y.h.w. Of course, you're welcome. I loved learning about the people who made the music that was around before I was born. The best info came from my family members who were around then n told me what was out there back then,priceless stories n info......Shannon b
+Kellan Brown. Otis wrote the book. Someone else did the movie. The book and the movie differs because Otis did not have control over the movie. Maybe if he did, not only would he showed Paul's sickness, but the many times promoters asked him for a refund because David was a no-show for the schedule concerts (too duped up to remember)
Rest IN POWER PAUL WILLIAMS MAY UR LEGACY LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS, AMEN TODAY SUCH A TRAGEDY
Awwww
The temptations still kept Paul on payroll after he fell sick!♥️
Paul Williams was, and will always be, my favorite Temptation.
Paul seemed to have lived a very reckless & short life 😢
My Condolences to his children who had to grow up without a father 💔
Which part was wreckless? This feels like a backhanded condolence... his kids knew their dad well enough for your comment to be disrespectful ...#nojudgmentisnecessary
@Joshua Mills Nigga, stop spamming. Don't nobody wanna see you, Otis!🤣
OTIS MADE PAUL LOOK LIKE A DRUNK WHEN HIS PAIN FROM HIS Sickle cell and he would subside his pain with alcohol and if you believe Otis sick ass the idk wtf 🤷🏽♀️
Rest in paradise brotha
“ I Want A Love I Can See” My favorite underrated Paul lead.😍🥰❣️
Eddie is what you call a real friend. He wouldn't join Otis' group unless Paul came along too. Hey i am a new subscriber, i like the vids you do on deceased celebs. I wonder what happened to the guy that played the role of Loco in "South Central". Is he dead??
You do know that Google is actually your friend?
Eddie love the group but he was too trusted Otis want people be on track...
He was my grandmas favorite in that group
He was my favorite too ❤️💚
Paul Williams was special. Just a great all-around talent.
Lionel Kennedy He really was 💯💚🧡💜💛
My favourite too and Eddie.
One of my favorite groups of all time😢...Much respect to Paul Williams who also had his own Variety show on Tv...Rest Well to All of The Temptations🙏👑💖
Just like Sam Cooke, too damn young to be dying. Smh
HotOffThePressFilms Sam Cooke was killed off
Sam Cooke was murdered just like Paul Williams and David Ruffin.
His death is another conspiracy.
Sam Cooke the best ever.
@Kennedy S. Brown .. I agree! Sam Cooke was definitely in a class by himself. He influenced a whole generation of RnB and Soul singers.
This is a great presentation! Paul was murdered, and it's unbelievable that anyone would think otherwise.
So Otis old, stankin behind can make up a whole lie about David being tossed out of a car and was a John Doe in the movie, but couldn't reveal that Paul had sickle cell and a suspicious death?? He makes me sick. "Aint nobody comin to see you Otis"!!
My thought, how did he know David was thrown out of a car? Who witness that??
Actually, they said some guy who was with David at the crack house dropped him off at the hospital. The hospital had him labeled as a John Doe the first few days because they didn't know who he was. But I don't like how the movie portrayed Paul as just being a drunk.
That's why it's called a movie it's not all based on facts it's meant for entertainment not reality. Also David was originally labeled a John doe
He was the voice to me. Very soulful. More feeling in it. Like you felt what he felt. Fave song Don't Look Back
His voice is amazingly beautiful. David Ruffin, however was the BEST LEAD for the Temptations.
I love how he sing Don’t Look Back
It's so obvious to me that Otis Williams is some sort of occultist priest. I think he sacrificed every other Temptation member for his own riches and fame. They all died tragically young, and some died under shaddy/suspicious circumstances. Even Otis' son died tragically...but nobody asks these questions. Think about it...
I was a teenager when Paul died and his death was shocking. Something was off about it. Paul’s life/demons were closing in on him no doubt but nobody believed, totally, what was reported when he died. I wish a creditable, thorough, research driven journalist would write a biography on The Temptations. That biopic on VH1 was good but I think it was adapted from Otis Williams biography of the Temptations. It’s from his point of view how he saw it.
I believe that his ailments, affairs, being out of the group, drinking and the Motown machine was way too much on him.
my favorite. so talented AND Handsome
I love Paul's voice man!
I freaking love ❤️ the temptations! Paul was one of the greatest
I loved his voice and I never thought he killed himself. His and Eddie Kendricks voice was a dream team voice and smooth and the Temps needed there voices like the needed all the rest; They were the Temps! I hate they lied about so many singers death; anything to make our people look bad. Open y’all freaking eyes they have played our money til this day. Smiling faces; that’s a song to listen to. R.I.P. Paul Williams 💯
I wanna love I can see truly shows Paul’s great vocals
A talented man is truly missed. Sad to say he was kill but God has the last word in this man's demise.
My daddy even said it was foul play with his passing.. 😞😕😞
yeah, How many people shoot themselves in an alley....??
Paul was left handed the bullet that kill him was from a right handed person it will come out one day like all other Motown artist that died

The Temptations Movie Was Incorrect. Paul Williams Didn't Commit Suicide. He Was Murdered By, His Mistress Boyfriend. She Set Him Up, Now This Came From Paul Wife. Regardless I Love Paul Williams, Needs His Own Unsung. A Iconic Legend Period!!!
You the truth for this one bro. Bout time somebody did this one 🐐
RIP Paul Williams of The Temptations
Officially saddened by Paul's story.
Paul was my favorite temp. That movie really showed how much he loved to perform. His dance moves were always on point.
Detroit streets in the Grand River Blvd area, always said Paul was escorted out the house in his boxers, forced to drive down the block alongside the gunman. Where the he was killed and found. Some say money some say a jealous ex-boyfriend
Boyfriend😕
kathryn lovejoy Paul Williams had affair with Winnie Brown, who was related to Florence Ballard. Winnie must have had a jealous boyfriend that killed Paul.
THE TEMPTATION STORY IS STILL SAD😞😢😕TILL DIS DAY#R.I.PPAULWILLIAMS#🗣️ TEMPTATIONS4EVA‼️...✌🏽
Thank you very much for this video.
Thank you for making this documentary on Paul. It keeps his memory and legacy alive.
I have sickle cell disease too. I'm having a sickle cell pain crisis. Watching your videos to distract myself from the pain until my pain pills kick in. I also have a collapsed right hip that I'm waiting to have a hip replacement for.
I tried making a go fund me for donations toward the hip surgery but it wasn't successful.
Sickle cell is so freakin painful!
I love me some paul Williams...he was my favourite r.i.p paul.. 😘❤
I Remember My Mom/Aunties Playing The Temps Albums/45's To Death When I Was Around 5 Yrs Old ,They Had Every Album ,And Yes Paul Had A Lovely Voice I Love the Song ,"I Want A Love I Can See🎤 "🎼🎵🎶🎼🥰
I’m a 70s baby and when I think of Paul or even watch that movie I cry but when I hear that music that powerful voice I want to dance. You’ll always be missed Mr.Paul Williams😘
If you know me you know I just love everything about the Temptation💜💜
for so many years I've always wanted to know of his story thank you for doing your research and clearing up this mystery I've always wanted to know if Paul was killed or if you really killed himself I also never knew that Paul had a illness.

Rip paul..your talent is truly missed..the temps are my favorite!!!
The movie made it seem that removing Paul from the group was what drove him to alleged suicide. They also drove in that his removal was due to his alcohol, but not mentioning the terrible impact of his disease.
It made HIM look bad. If Otis knew about his disease then he’s wrong and that him being removed from the temps didn’t contribute to his death he’s wrong.
The fact they suggested those reasons is just questionable and this info makes it even moreso.
Paul Williams was truly my favorite vocalist in the Temptations ensemble. “Don’t Look Back,” was my favorite “Paul” lead. I was about 7 or 8, in 1965, but not too young to remember the impact Motown made in Detroit’s music history, around that time. I still live in Detroit, and still cherish those times when music was created from the same folk who went to school with us, and whom we could see on the streets of Detroit, on any given day.
Love you, Paul! R.I.P. 💜💜🎶🎶🎤🤟🏽
RIP 😇 Paul, MY FAVORITE TEMP. Only GOD knows about your demise. If it was foul play, may HIS wrath reign down on these evil doers. BUT your velvet voice does and will live on! 💗 you and the original fab 5! The greatest talented musical voices of all time!
I love the Temptations!!!! They are the most popular singing groups of all time!!!! All the greatest hits they made are timeless!!!! That's they're legacy!!!! 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎼
From my understanding Paul was found dead outside of his car in boxers shorts. It was said that he was chased by his side chics husband who killed him.
Paul had a serious affair with Patti Labelle.
This makes the most sense
@@rosajohnson9413 damn i aint know this😶thanks fa that
@@rosajohnson9413 Actually, it was Otis Williams, not Paul, they even say so in their own books.
That seems more believable than him shooting himself in the head with his right hand on the left side of his head that is total and utter b*******
Thats sad. After all theses yrs ...RIP Paul Williams
People tend to forget there is always 3 or MORE sides to a story... this side, that side and the truth in the middle and THEN .. there is Hollywood's side. Because a movie is BASED OFF of a book, in no way means the powers that be didn''t take this or that, omit, turn around or add something to it. Otis Williams has said himself that there is a literal ton of things in the movie that was either not in his book, was taken out of context or flat out lied about. Once a movie or screenplay goes into production, there is only the smallest chance that the main characters much less the author has anything they can say or do about it. Just look at Frankie Valli.... the musical Jersey Boys is one thing but he has flat out stated he HATES what they did with the movie so there is a good chance , more of a probability, that this happened with the Temptations book at movie. It was Tv, folks. No one said it was true or that it was real or that it was fair. Based OFF of, does not mean factual from start to finish.
I did not know that Paul was sick. I, like many, always thought that he just had alcohol addiction issues. Very informative. While I don’t agree that Paul was the best lead singer of the group (in my book NOBODY will ever be able to touch Ruffin as THE voice of the Temps) I agree that he was very underrated as both a singer and dancer. Thank you for putting this out.
RIP PAUL! YOU WERE MY FAVORITE TEMPTATION. BDAY TWIN JULY 2💕
Mr Paul Williams had a life marked by musical success: he had the style, the moves and the voice. He harbored a. great love for music.

Paul Williams One Of The Best Tempt And Didnt Get Name what Desreve And The One Of The Best RIP Mr Paul Williams Sr
Paul Williams look so depressed and appears to be going through something very dark at 4:40
My 18th birthday front row seats at the Copa Cabana NYC.Paul sang lead that night.David Ruffin did not show up.Paul sang THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM and was crying.I handed him a napkin and he dried his eyesThe show ended and a waiter came to me and handed me a piece of paper .On it Paul wrote THANK YOU.....
$96,000??? That's plain BULL!!! That family should've gotten more than a couple million out of respect for Paul???
Now.., for those who want to sing in "The Industry"..., this is what they think about you before and after you're gone??? What a joke!!!
Look at the times the 60's. That's a lot of money back then
I get that, but this settlement was way later and $96,000 is not enough? They made about that much in 3 to 4 checks? Plus we're talking about nearly 10+ albums and Motown made MILLIONS off those Tempations records. On the low end, Paul's family should've received (at least) $500,000 after taxes and no higher than $2 million. That's fair?
