 The
Temptin' Temptations. They could outsing, outdance and outdress every other group in the
business. They personalized every song they sung, and every beat of every song would
prompt a move, a gesture, or a look. Each member standing over six feet tall, they
epitomized tall, dark and handsome.
They were the essence of cool in the 60's and the most successful
R&B group of all time. Each had his own job to do in the group. Otis let it be known
from the start that he was the leader and businessman. They looked to Paul Williams to
create those soulful moves and routines, while Eddie Kendricks was responsible for the
look, and the stage uniforms. David Ruffin oozed with
artistry and talent and Melvin Franklin showered everything and everybody with love.
Later, Dennis Edwards, with his soulful, gritty voice and strong
stage presence would more than hold his own. This website is dedicated to the six members
of the classic Temptations line-up who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
in 1989. Sadly, four of the groups members are no longer with us. It will serve as my
memorial to the late great members of Motown's supergroup, Paul Williams, David Ruffin,
Eddie Kendricks, and Melvin Franklin, as well as a place to show support for remaining
members Otis Williams and
Dennis Edwards, who continue, although separately, in their
efforts to keep the spirit of the original group alive.
