      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. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I am a seventy five year old woman from the States of Arkansas and Louisiana and i have been listening to the Temptations since childhood and has always loved them. We would go to our neighborhood hangout and dance for hours. If i was younger i probably would cut a step now when i heard the Temptations.

      Cruising around listening to Motown at 71. Still dance and sing to these 5 fabulous voices. Back in their early days if we were cruising we would stop the car crank the radio up and dance on the side of the road. We just couldn't help ourselves once their music got in our feet.....

      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.

    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.

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

      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

    People will always say that David was much better than Dennis as lead. The fact is, they both had much different sounds. David was pure passion with a greater voice range, whereas Dennis was gritty, almost gospel-sounding soul. Dennis' voice was perfect for that late 60s, early 70s transition to psychedelic funk, garnering the Tempt's first grammy with "Cloud Nine," and their second with "Papa Was a Rolling Stone." I'm just glad that the Tempt's success didn't leave when David did.
