@@themansince I mean ... I don't think a TEMPTATION fan has ever said, "I can't wait to see Otis at the show tonight!" Plenty of fans have had anticipation of seeing and hearing the Temptations or the leads more specifically.
@@MGillDesign Who knows, but it seems fun hearing him .may he does or doesn't know when he hears himself laugh but I think it's a good kind of laugh. I Don't see it as Vlad having Smokie off guard you know
@@mikhailabunidal9146 I just meant, that Smokey is good friends with Otis. So had he known Vlad was going to mention that line "from the movie" he might have guarded his laugh a bit more. But, by his laugh... you can tell that Smokey knows that all those songs he wrote for the Temps were usually for David or Eddie. Adding some validity to Leon's statement.
I'm actually Facebook Friends with Terron Brooks who played Eddie Kendricks plus he's still singing and performing nowadays. I was Facebook Friends with the brother that played Young Smokey Robinson whose name was Erik Michael Tristian, but I only knew him for a short time.. because he sadly passed away about two years ago and even though the time I knew him was short it was one the greatest privileges to speak with him and him encouraging me about my singing voice and letting me know that I didn't have sound like him or anyone else but myself and that myself was enough :) Thank you Erik for everything in such a short period of time, I loved you like my own brother and I always will :)
I'm Facebook friends with Terron as well and he is a fantastic brother! I am also FB friends with Christian Payton who played Paul Williams, he is a great guy too.
Picture Ice Cube or his son potrayin Joe Jackson in the Michael Jackson biopic!! All they need is an afro, scowl and a belt. Cube Will body the Joe Jackson role that'll be a milestone for him🤔🤔🤔🤔💯💯💯. Playing Joe Jackson...🤔🤔🤔
Yeah, 2 whole hours of Vlad asking Otis questions about David, Eddie, Paul, Melvin, Dennis and pretty much anyone else at Motown who could actually sing or were interesting people. Yeah, fun times. 😏
Ole Otis got the last laugh though.. he’s the only surviving member of the Temptations. I guess you could say… everyone’s coming to see him! Shoutout a Texarkana native.
Yeah, everyone’s coming to see Otis so they can talk about & ask him questions about David, Eddie, Paul, Melvin, Dennis and basically any other Temptation but him. 🤣
@@jaylene.turner6524 Yeah, but for how much longer and then what? Folks will be listening to, singing & loving “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Don’t Look Back” and “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” until the end of time. Who’s clamoring to buy, listen to, imitate or remake “Don’t Send Me Away”? 🤣😂🤣
I have heard that reference three times, including on NBA TV, and I actually watched the mini-series... I'm surprised it's so popular. I think it's BECAUSE Smokey came up with it.
Well,everyone’s still coming to see Otis. He’s the only one that can say that he’s still alive and performing. 🎉 He wasn’t stupid like his past bandmates. The only one I feel sorry for is Melvin. He still looks great. He definitely got the last laugh. Keep going,Otis!
It’s kinda pathetic that Otis’ only claim to fame is that he’s still breathing. Meanwhile most folks are _still_ out here inquiring about, talking about, loving, imitating and jamming to THE VOICES (David, Eddie, Paul & Dennis). Their legacies are solidified and rarely were they ever asked questions about Otis but the reverse can’t be said now can it? 🤭
The one thing I like after reading the autobiography of the temptations was that Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin were cousins and Richard street the one who replaced Paul Williams was the third cousin also after just my imagination the next single to be released from the temptations was smiling faces sometimes and I listened to the full version and the remix that was going to be another hit song but David ruffin pulled Eddie Kendricks to his level by requesting that he leave the temptations but here comes Damon Harris and the rest is history

VLAD, if you are reading the comment section, can you invite the actor who played Otis Williams to your channel? His role as Otis Williams is really good and I like VLAD to interview him about the "Ain't Nobody Comin' To See You, Otis!" line Would you guys like to see the actor being interviewed by VLAD?
I personally don't think that actor would have enough interesting stories to interest Vlad. Because after they talk about that one line that wasn't even his line then what?
Smoky is a effortless cool chill ass cat man he's the kinda cool I think of when the term cool comes to mind not any of these over the top artists and rappers trying to overly prove that they're cool.
@@jaylene.turner6524 the quality of their songs sucked once he left. It was never the same and you think hits equates to quality? With the exception of Just My Imagination and Papas Got A Rolling Stone what else do they have that was just as great as the years with Ruffin?
@@jaylene.turner6524david had walk away from love, break my heart, my whole world ended, if loving you is wrong, I miss you, statue of a fool I can go on and on. The emotional ballad quality was not the same with dennis in the group as david was the “soul” of the group. Which is why the group could not produce the same quality of live songs and smooth ballads with dennis voice. Please educate yaself on David before you speak on him.

That’s one of those movies you can watch over and over and over and not get tired of it.
Especially if your momma was born in the 70s. Mfer was 5-6 years old watching every other day. One of the reason I know how to sing and shit
I know I watch it everytime I see it on TV! As well as Ray and any Eddie Murphy film! 😉😉
Truth. Love the movie.❤️❤️❤️
Still one of my favorites
Thanksgiving tradition to watch this movie in my house.😊
That line will live on forever!!
Happy Chann-ookaa!
I don't believe David Ruffin even said that about Otis! It is funny 🤣
Dauuummm! Was Leon nodding or high during the interview??
Smokey look damn good for 82 ❤ a real living legend
And his mind is crystal clear!
Can't get enough of hearing him (i.e. Smokie) laugh , it's contagious
I think he caught Smokey off guard with that. lol.
Me too ☝🏽

He laughed like he actually remembered David going off on them in real life 😂

When he said, “Otises Face!!” in the back of the Limo was🤣🤣🤣
David Ruffin and the….what’s their name?
Ha. I remember that. Too funny.
Honestly these are not interviews, but history lessons.
Yes sure are! Thnx for your great comment & greetings from The Netherlands.
I'm actually Facebook Friends
with Terron Brooks who
played Eddie Kendricks
plus he's still singing and performing nowadays.
I was Facebook Friends
with the brother that played
Young Smokey Robinson
whose name was Erik Michael Tristian,
but I only knew him for a short time..
because he sadly passed away about two years ago and even though the time I knew him was short it was one the greatest privileges to speak with him and him encouraging me about my singing voice and letting me know that I didn't have sound like him or anyone else but myself and that myself was enough :)
Thank you Erik for everything

1:44 "Can you talk about that a little bit? "
Props Vlad for the most honest
words I've ever heard you say.
I'm surprised Smokey didn't mention 'The Jacksons', that biopic is a classic and Lawrence Hilton Jacobs did a phenomenal job playing Joe Jackson.
Michael!!!! Marlon!!! You gonna get it!! Who left the towel in the swimming pool?
@@Bishoptheemcee 😂😂😂
My favorite movie!
Picture Ice Cube or his son potrayin Joe Jackson in the Michael Jackson biopic!! All they need is an afro, scowl and a belt. Cube Will body the Joe Jackson role that'll be a milestone for him🤔🤔🤔🤔💯💯💯. Playing Joe Jackson...🤔🤔🤔
Temps movie was better
We need a two hour interview with Mr Otis Williams to tell us more Temp stories
Yes!
I just was watching shit on youtube
Yeah, 2 whole hours of Vlad asking Otis questions about David, Eddie, Paul, Melvin, Dennis and pretty much anyone else at Motown who could actually sing or were interesting people. Yeah, fun times. 😏
yep!
@@LadyDuchess otis could sing and he sang lead on some songs.
That was a classic series watched it hundreds of time
Smoky is a legend , so many classics he wrote under that Motown umbrella
Can we get a mini-series about Smokey Robinson and the Miracles? Sign me up bruh.
Vlad this is a winning lane you've struck gold. More legends 🙏
leon did great job playing david ruffin. smokey robinson great entertainer.
Should interview Otis he still living and well sure he got great story to tell 💯
Exactly!
He tells great Temps stories on thier live Motown dvd! He tells a great story about Eddie on there
@@DJaySplitSecondI gotta check that out I talk to him every Christmas
The Musical Ain't Too Proud was amazing..Otis was in the audience
I'm really loving this Smokey interview.. I'm looking for more
That scene at blue funeral was sad felt that song when he sung it
Ole Otis got the last laugh though.. he’s the only surviving member of the Temptations. I guess you could say… everyone’s coming to see him!
Shoutout a Texarkana native.
PREACH!
Yeah, everyone’s coming to see Otis so they can talk about & ask him questions about David, Eddie, Paul, Melvin, Dennis and basically any other Temptation but him. 🤣
@@LadyDuchess
At least he can say,
“I’m alive and they’re dead.”
🤣
@@jaylene.turner6524 Yeah, but for how much longer and then what? Folks will be listening to, singing & loving “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Don’t Look Back” and “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” until the end of time. Who’s clamoring to buy, listen to, imitate or remake “Don’t Send Me Away”? 🤣😂🤣
Everybody always came to see him!
Smokey Robinson legend
Water 💦 wet
Some call him Motown royalty, either one he's well respected, and loved by everyone.
Leon look LIT in the flashback
It wasnt just tha line its was his expression sayin that Line that was priceless🤨
The line is legendary, and part of the culture. Thanks brother Leon!
My top two biopic joints are The Jackson’s: An American Family Dream and Ray. Two well done shows.
James Brown Get On Up was a great movie too
That Jackson’s one is classic
Ray was excellent (in my opinion). I'm not big on music movie biopics, but that was a gem
I like the new edition movie
Wait until the Richard Pryor and Marvin Gaye biopic
Otis would be an amazing interview for Vlad or Duke from The Four Tops living legends right there
Definitely!
I'd love to see Duke Fakir on VladTV
He's needs get them ASAP
Unfortunately, Duke Fakir passed away on July 22, 2024. The Four Tops are together again
I love to these little interviews with smokey! keep it going smoke!💗
Smokey did the score. Damn, I have to go back and watch it again now.
Otis got the last laugh. We only coming if he there. Everyone else gone.
Love Mr.S.R for sharing his love for Blue love the song really Gina miss you linda j peace
❤ yes everybody loves Smokey Robinson
Leon itching like he still in character 😭
Leon is looking so high 🪁
NO DOUBT.
Could barely keep his eyes open 😂😂😂
Got that ray Charles high
absolutely LOVE me some Leon
Leon was high aab in that interview
You could tell, he was damn near nodding going to sleep during the questioning.
Hi edagdwg love this story of what happens when you feel good about making the movie special love Leon a great man and actor linda j. Peace
Watch the full interview now as a VladTV RUclips Member: ruclips.net/channel/UCg7lal8IC-xPyKfgH4rdUcAjoin
I like Smokey. What a legend❤❤
I agree smokey! Temptations and Ray Charles.
Leon high as hell
Higher than hell 😈
I'm with smokey those two biopics are my favorites as well
Vlad is talking to Greats left and right 🔥
Smokey 😎
My boy Leon looks he’s high in this interview .. about to fall asleep
Smokey is hands down the best song-writer ever
Best ain't nobody line I've ever heard 😂😂😂😂
I have it on VHS. Had to buy it at the Goodwill 10 YEARS AGO.
Perfect timing. 🤣
Best line in the movie , lol ! Leon was the movie, stole every scene !
That's the man 💯🙏🏿🔥🔥🔥 otis nobody coming to see you 😭😭😅
I have heard that reference three times, including on NBA TV, and I actually watched the mini-series... I'm surprised it's so popular. I think it's BECAUSE Smokey came up with it.
Well,everyone’s still coming to see Otis.
He’s the only one that can say
that he’s still alive and performing.
🎉
He wasn’t stupid like his
past bandmates.
The only one I feel sorry for is Melvin.
He still looks great.
He definitely got the last laugh.
Keep going,Otis!
Why are you celebrating people's death?
Wow, celebrating deaths now? Sad guy
It’s kinda pathetic that Otis’ only claim to fame is that he’s still breathing. Meanwhile most folks are _still_ out here inquiring about, talking about, loving, imitating and jamming to THE VOICES (David, Eddie, Paul & Dennis). Their legacies are solidified and rarely were they ever asked questions about Otis but the reverse can’t be said now can it? 🤭
Can't believe Vlad didn't ask the obvious followup, who does Smokey want to play him in the Smokey Robinson story?
@@CantTellYou
Terence Howard can play the older Smokey.
He said that s*** like David ruffin that he not supposed to like it did you see his face 😂
Leon hella smacked off somethin lol
Yes he is!!
Yeah, Leon was in the clouds ⛅⛅
@@pharoah1200 Cloud 9? 🤭
@@LadyDuchess 😂😂😂
Improvisation can work in some scripts..It certainly did in that film..
Classic
I agree with Mr Robinson.
Leon smooth as hell lol
Hell Smoke need Bio
Leon was too cool playing that role.
Smokey Robinson needs a in depth biopic.
Leon looks high or drunk or something during this interview... 😆
Leon Robinson, that is
The Temptations is the best movie
The one thing I like after reading the autobiography of the temptations was that Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin were cousins and Richard street the one who replaced Paul Williams was the third cousin also after just my imagination the next single to be released from the temptations was smiling faces sometimes and I listened to the full version and the remix that was going to be another hit song but David ruffin pulled Eddie Kendricks to his level by requesting that he leave the temptations but here comes Damon Harris and the rest is history
The fse 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You just can't pick a group or single artist out of Motown because they were so dam great!
Can somebody please ask Mr leon about that epic scene rom colors ...yall no what I'm talking about😯
As a kid, I was scared of Smokey Robinson. Something about his eyes bothered me.
Does Smokey's Sweater come in Royal Blue.....
Otis Williams the only of the original members who is still alive.

He needs to Interview Otis next.
Weird interview with Leon, either he doesn’t want to be there or he’s high as a kite.
I wished vlad would've asked smokey more about the song he sung during his cameo
He's interviewing Smokey Robinson and he's talking about a line in a movie WTF
I know.
A total ad-lib line.
Otis definitely got the last laugh as he’s the only surviving founding member that’s still alive and performing.
It's a relative question, considering Smokie's connection to the film.
"y'all ain't nuffin without David Ruffin!"
Glad told us word for word what Leon said, then showed him saying it. Lmao. Could have just showed it. Lol.

Leon told the truth nobody come to see otis. He was the least talented person leon i thought he was david he did a great job leon should of one award

Big Daddy Kane is naturally cool.
It just proves there is no expiration date on coolness. Smokey my man!
What do you mean “You people” Vlad? 🤨
