Description
The history of The Temptations is the history of contemporary American pop.
An essential component of the original Motown machine, that amazing
engine invented by Berry Gordy, The Temps began their musical life in Detroit
in the early sixties. It wasn’t until 1964, however, that the Smokey Robinson
written-and-produced “The Way You Do, The Things You Do” turned the guys
into stars.
An avalanche of hits followed, many of which, like “My Girl,” for instance,
attained immortality. More hits such as “Since I Lost My Baby,” “Get Ready,”
“Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” and “Papa Was a Rolling Stone,” followed. The Temps
became known for smooth stepping and flawless presentations. Flair, flash
and class.
The current Temptations
lineup includes original
member Otis Williams, Terry
Weeks, G.C. Cameron, Ron
Tyson and Joe Herndon.
“The more we change,” says
veteran Ron Tyson, “the more
we stay true to ourselves.
We’re about singing straightup
soul. It’s a style that will
live on forever.”
