The Tempts are my favorite group without question. Just like you, my favorite period of their career is the "Classic Five" era of David, Eddie, Paul, Melvin, and Otis. They were so tough musically that even many of their B-sides and album tracks were worthy of being released as singles. Songs like "You've Got To Earn It", "What Love Has Joined Together", "Don't Look Back", "Just One Last Look", and "Cindy" just to name a few.


Besides greatest hits compilations, do you have any of their original albums on CD? My favorite album by them is 1967's "With A Lot O' Soul" followed by "Wish It Would Rain". A few years ago, Motown released all of their albums from roughly 1964-1973 as "2 For 1s" on one CD.



Good call on your assessment of Boyz II Men. I feel that they really missed the boat because they could have been "The Temptations of the modern era", but they released too many ballads as singles. I have no problem with ballads, but they should have balanced it with more uptempo tunes.

I still love watching the movie "The Temptations" with LEON playing David Ruffin! Watched it last night and perhaps the week prior. I never grt enough it. I still haven't been able to find out who the fine chocolat brother is who played Mel Frankin AKA "BLUE"...eye candy to the max! Tematations For Ever ...God bless their souls.....Peace

Like a celestial star shooting across the sky, their incredible talents burned so brightly that their times here could not sustain for very long. They leave us loving them, longing for more, and their legacy will live on. The movie was very touching. I could watch it over and over. I was only a small child when they first came on the scene, but loved them then and still. Their songs and voices sing to your heart. They were perfection. Temptations Forever!
