Love them, even though I haven't listened to any of their songs as of late, I still think their songs are fun and catchy.

"Ain't Too Proud To Beg" being my favorite.

Best vocal band ever.
David Ruffin - 'My Girl'
Dennis Edwards - 'Papa was a rolling stone'
Eddie Kendricks - 'Just my Imagination'
Melvin Fanklin - On everything he ever sang on!
Weakest member was always Otis Williams, poor singer but he seems to take credit for them, the movie (TV series) The Temptation story was biased in his favor.

Default The Temptations

Although the movie was lightly based on his book,Otis didn't have final say over how they were portrayed-blame Susanne DuPass for that,oh and Otis wasn't a poor singer he had the lease range of all the classic Temps,but could still deliver a good lead as he does on-Don't Send Me Away..I Ain't Got Nothing..Read Between The Lines.

It was a shame Eddie Kendricks ruined his beautiful voice by chain smoking. Ron Tyson currently sings Eddie's parts. I saw them recently but only Ollie is an original, the rest have all sadly died.
