The Temptations are an American vocal group that formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1960. They were known for their success in the 60s and 70s at Motown Records. The group’s repertoire has included, during its five-decade career, R&B, doo-wop, funk, disco and soul music. Known for their recognizable choreography, distinct harmonies, and flashy onstage suits, the Temptations have been said to be as influential to soul as The Beatles are to pop and rock. Having sold tens of millions of albums, The Temptations are one of the most successful groups in music history. As of 2010, the Temptations continue to perform and record for Universal Records with its one living original member, Otis Williams, still in its lineup.
The Temptations helped put Motown Records on the map in 1964, with their song “The Way You Do The Things You Do“ rising to the top of the charts. They were the first Motown act to earn a Grammy Award. Three classic Temptations songs, “My Girl“, “Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)“, and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone“, are among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
Recorded live at Harrah’s Atlantic City in 1983
