I gotta say this! Who ever did that bait click picture of Otis Williams in a wheelchair and missing part of his left leg needs to be fired and jailed. That picture is despicable!
This show gave me a clear history of those music artists who sung my favorite kind of music. Even though many of the artists are dead, I cannot stop enjoying the music they left behind for me.
@@awwwshit1293 Oh stop speaking social media language " like negative" or " underrated"! I certainly was misinformed! I thought he had passed, I must've mistook him for another band member , I stand corrected!
I only Think of All the Great songs the Temps sang from "My Girl" to "Cloud 9" Eddie,David,Paul,and Melvin and Dennis RIP man y'all left a Real mark on the recording industry and Motown would Not have been the same without y'all..
Rest In Peace Paul ,David ,Eddie,Melvin ,Dennis,Love and Blessings Otis Williams ❤❤❤❤❤❤Eddie Kendricks is and always will be my favorite ❤❤❤❤❤What a beautiful man in so many ways...❤
If I was in the group and I knew David had a drug problem and he wanted to go somewhere else and he had all our money he would have took my share I would have told him you want to go where you want to go go ahead just give me my share now someone stole all the money and they didn't give a dime of it all that singing for nothing very sad but like I said he would have took my s***
Just a couple corrections: The Temptations were not a "band". They were a vocal group. They played no instruments, therefore they can't be called a band. Second, the narrator mentions Melvin being in a 1986 movie called Sky Bandits. It's true that there was an actor in the movie with Melvin's real name, David English, but it was not Melvin.
Last I heard, otis is still touring with who ever the temptations are now. A picture of otis head are put on the body of a person in a wheelchair. Anything to get views.
Elbridge Al Bryant was a one of the Orginal TEMPTATIONS with the first line-up Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams. When Elbridge Al l Bryant was fired from The TEMPTATIONS and David Eli Ruffin was hired to replace Elbridge Al Bryant. This is a true fact. The Temptations are such a forever loved singing group keeping that original sound is none other than Dr Otis Williams, he was the brains in the group and obtain a patent, smart man. Otis Williams of THE TEMPTATIONS is so well organized and has the😮 most welcomed quintet ever they have performances for ongoing decades.
All, except one, died young. Hmm. What are the odds? Franks dead at 52. Kendricks also at age 52. Williams died at age 34. Ruffin dead 50. The cost of greatness? Maybe.
I didn’t know that Paul Williams had sickle cell disease. How he did all he did with The Temptations is a testament to his strong character. Even today, treatments for sickle cell disease are not much better than in the 60’s. I hope and pray that scientists will continue to make progress on gene therapy treatments for those who suffer from this horrible disease. So many patients have been forced to self-medicate because of the unrelenting pain from a sickle cell crisis. Heartbreaking.
I,ve read the book and I,ve got the film . Blue died of one of the most awfullest deaths you could think of . My heart goes out to blue,s family members .
I agree that photo I me I have been following the since the beginning. Been that the group was touring and Otis was performing I was surprised by the picture
Wait a minute Otis did sing baritone sometimes in the background , Otis could sing 3 octaves for instance if Eddie Kendricks was on lead Otis would sing the top tenor or technically correct the alto note or if David Ruffin was singing the lead Otis would sing baritone in the background and so forth and so on
Hell.. most of these guys died in their early 50's... Wayyy too early to go..... And,I thought that I had problems....At least Otis has made it into his 80's... He go the last laugh...😊
You know something Peoples without a doubt we will get sick and grow old. So let’s just be for real. They all enjoyed their youth and adulthood. Yes we all will die one day. What I appreciate the most is their history and not the title of this article, it’s misleading.
@@kimberlyhenderson7604 If you're a member of the Temptations. You are already famous and well known. THE MAJORITY OF TEMPTATIONS FANS. ARE STUCK ON THE TEMPTATIONS WITH DAVID RUFFIN AS LEAD SINGER. BUT THEY DIDN'T GET ANY GRAMMY AWARDS WITH HIM AS LEAD SINGER.
When Dennis Edwards became the replacement for David Ruffin as lead singer. The Temptations got 2 Grammy Awards for Cloud 9 and Papa was a Rolling Stone.
David was The Man!! He just had a Drug Problem!!!!😢Dennis was Good Loud But He could Sing!! But David was The Man Nobody Could take his Place!!!!❤ Nobody like the Original Temptations at All!!!! They were The Best!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
AMEN!! Nobody Could take David Place!! Only The Original Singing Temptations were the Very Very Best!!!! Wish The Rest were Alive and they were All Singing Now!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
i seen an interview of nedra ruffin sadly before she passed away, she spoke about how she was the last person to talk to her father and she and eddie kendricks said david was sober. she believes david was set up by his younger gf because he had a money belt on him(which was missing when david got to the hospital) and she believes that someone gave him a hot shot to end his life. two weeks before his passing, farrakhan was supposed to meet with david to "help him get out of something". it's even more scarier to me that he was taken away from us on the first of the month. also sad that he and eddie kendricks said they would tell their own stories of the shady things that happened to them in the industry but unfortunately never got a chance to.💔i wish someone would make an ACCURATE film about the tempts! paul, david, and dennis all had suspicious passings may they get justice and rip and nedra🕊 Interview link> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rgDVR1sFckM.html
I didn’t watch the video. I’m only commenting on the disrespectful photoshop clickbait photo of Otis Williams in a wheelchair. If you don’t the confidence in your own skill set to deliver FACTUAL information about the Temptations (they were a group by the way not a band) then find something else to do on RU-vid…….. or do nothing at all 😡
Where are they now in 2022 ..? Anybody with a pulse knows all of the original members are dead for years with the exception of Otis Williams.. Even Dennis recently passed away. This is a bunch if BS
❤❤ Jesus Christ warrns us. About hell. When. We. Reject Jesus Christ. Were. Headed . for hell When. U .kick. Him .out .of. Your life Hell is where you are going
For. God so lovd .the. World 🌎🌍 He. Gave his only begotten son whosoever believe in him should not Die . Jesus loves. Us. So. Much. His. Blood. Will set u. Free. From sinn And hell U. Can. Be . forgiven ❣️😍 Of all. Your sinns
If you going to talk or make some kind of documentary on celebrities at least make sure you can recognize them you got some of their pictures wrong. Being a Temptation fan I can recognize their photos from their earlier days to their oldest day so this was a disapointment.
