OLLIE WOODSON HAS A GOLDEN VOICE...NOT MAKING SINGERS LIKE THAT ANYMORE!!!!...HIS VOICE TAKES A SONG FROM ORDINARY TO EXTRAORDINARY!!!! HE WILL TRULY BE MISSED!!
The Temptations are truly a blessed group with successful lead singers. Think: David Ruffin leaves. In comes Dennis Edwards. Dennis leaves, in comes Ali-Ollie Woodson. And were successful each time. Black Excellence! 🌟
Brother Ali Woodson does indeed have an awesome voice! Now, David Ruffin had a fantastic voice as the original leader of the Temptations, but in my humble opinion, Brother Ali gives him a run for his money!
Ali "Ollie" Woodson's voice is so effortless & his range is off the charts. This man was Truly A true gift to the world 🌎 He had swagg before Swagg was thought of.. Not bad looking either by the way!
Ollie was my favorite Lead Singer w The Temptations! ❤️ He had a beautiful, sensuous, multi octive voice range. And a tantalizing, handsome look that captivated audiences. Treat Her Like A Lady and Special were 2 of the top hits 4 The Temptations when he was with them! I can't get enuf of hearing him sing those 2 songs! May he continue 2 Rest Easy n the Loving Arms of the Lord. He will aways be remembered as 1 of the most memorable leaders n the Temptations!
The Temptations always had the quality leading vocalist,such as Paul,David,Olie Woodson,Dennis Edward,Franklin (leading "old man river") and others as well. It's a good team,the backing members are equally good... But there will be star players of course, like Olie etc. I love all of them.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ollie Woodson was the Greatest. I love the way he sings high/low so damn good. RIP--so sad throat cancer robbed him of many years of bringing us more of his wonderful voice,
Ollie was the full package( in my book) Attractive, Excellent Dancer( check out his moves, when they performed, " Treat her like a lady" " My Lady Soul" , on the Tonight Show) Seems like he added just a little something extra in his moves!! He had such an extrodinary voice!! Loved the Raspiness( in a good way) and when he would hit those high notes.The Temptations were blessed to have had him, for the time that they did .Here's a toast to David, Eddie,( my favorite Temp.along with Ollie Ali) Paul, Melvin,Damon,Richard , May they all Rest in Paradise👆👆🙏🙏
True Ollie Woodson fan!And I agree he is truly underrated and we need more singers like this out today to teach the younger generation about REAL R n B.
This is in reply to wSaKy. I'm just reading the comment you made about Ollie being cut from the Temps twice. HE WAS NOT CUT. He had to leave twice because of having throat cancer and 2 operations. After he recovered from both operations, he came back. He is/was that good, that they held his lead spot for him.
Ollie ' s voice still remains one of the rare gifts to humanity.His soul touch our hearts with such gentleness and feeling.Sing on my brother amongst the blessed ones in Paradise
Awesome. I would love to see Samuel L. Jackson play Ollie Woodson in a guess appearance version of the Temptations. God gave him a special gift and he did not sleep on it. RIP.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I was in a city called Pleasanton CA and the temptations were singing and I Will always remember Ollie Watson believe me he made my day!he had such a warm personality a friendly smile and I miss him so much!R.I.P
God blessed him with this beautiful voice. He was special to me. Happy birthday Ollie Woodson. RIP you gave your all and your best. Blessings to your family.
Ali Ollie woods on was a good friend of mine back in the 70s in Birmingham,ala he was my drummer before he left ala with the drifters, he sung a lot of songs but nothing like he sung with the temptations, u remember he used to practice that signature high note until he perfected it and got it the way that he wanted it, at the a.g. Gaston motel, he will be deeply missed, he was like my big brother and taught me a lot of things not to do with my voice,, like not to hold certain notes to long and how to breath to last through s show, love you Ollie king johnny
This is just another reason why the Temps had him singing lead . A truly wonderful bueatiful voice and we are blessed to be able to hear his greatness. Thanks to God Almighty Yahweh for this gift and praise him in Yahshua Ha Mashiyah's name .
Great Singer! All of the Tempts leads were awesome in their own, very SPECIAL way! David was not better than Ollie was not better than Dennis was not better than Eddiie was not better that Paul. They were ALL....SPECIAL!
Every time I see this I love it more and more. I mean I can't get over the man. He had a very distinct way of expressing himself and his music and it sure was excellent
Ollie Woodson was one of the greatest vocalists the world will ever hear. He would quickly leave the Fox theater or any major concert in Atlanta with the Temptations and make his way straight to Club 731 on Campbleton Rd and jump right on the much smaller stage from where he just did a major performance and me Ollie Tony Young blood and George Stanley from the Pure Sugar Group would finish out the night live driving the audience insane as we sang almost every hit record that was on the top ten at that time. Ollie was the best ever and he had a special affinity for Tony Young blood who Ollie called a singing fool. We had so much fun back in those days. We will always love you Ollie Woodson R.I.P. from your brothers in the power of music Pure Sugar!
No Comparison. Two Individuals each with unique gift. Talented Individuals in their own right and space. One did not outshine nor overshadow the other. KING DAVID and KING OLLIE...makes me cry😢. RIH🌹
I came late in appreciation of Mr. Woodson's voice this year. I noticed that all of the songs with him singing lead particularly touched my heart. His voice so enhanced the Temptation's music it was so rich, soulful and unforgrtable.. I hate I missed his live performances. A voice like no other. God bless him.
When your a new member to a successful group, I don't think you should be looked at as a replacement. That's where the confusion starts. How can you truly experience someones greatness if your placing them in someone else's shadow?
I grew up with the Temps. The Regal Theatre, Chicago IL. They, all of them, raw talent. Awesome!! Ollie Wolfson is gone, but, always remembered. Gone but, never forgotten! Loving you always.
Profiles in Pittsburgh 🖤💛 Truly groovy song and a blessing to watch their slow moves to the beat of the song. Words Truly Magnificent. Thank you for this song, SPECIAL🖤 Makes My Heart Feel Good, Sister Forever Nora Rose Parker and Family
YES ALI WOODSONS' VOCAL RANGE IS THE CLOSEST TO MARVIN GAYE......HE HAS A WIDE RANGE OF VOCALS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM!!!........AND THIS WAS HIS FROM HIS LAST ALBUM......SIMPLY HE WAS THE LAST GREATEST REAL SOUL SINGER!....THAT COULD STILL SING TIL HIS END...
Young folk, ask youseff if you've EVER heard a modern-day vocalist get down like Mr. Woodson. Not to say your art and favorites aren't righteous; just saying that I know for a fact that vocal talent like this is like a diamond found only once a century from deep in the soil of Earth.
I will never forget seeing the Temptations at Radio City Hall in NYC and Mr. Ollie Woodson blew me away with his powerful voice. Motown professionalism was staring me directly in my face. Berry Gordy leadership created amazing,, classy and talented groups. ❤
AO like every Temptation...forever...just as great as David, Eddie, Ricky, Richard, Paul, Elbridge,Otis, Damon, Ron, Bo, Glenn, Ray, Theo, Dennis, Louis.
I miss you Ollie. I can't believe it. What are we going to do now for our Sunday Morning special soloist? No one can sing "question is" and "you are not alone" like you. You can never be replaced. My heart is broken. I can't stop crying. My prayers go out to your family. Rest in peace Ollie.
