TEMPTATIONS BIOGRAPHY --Ladies and gentlemen "The Temptations" with these words one is taken to a magical place. Finely tuned harmonies, shimmering suave outfits, smooth percision choeography. Not to mention some of the most compelling voices and beloved songs of all time. Seeing them is not just a concert but an event. They can do it all from pop to soul, contemporary to psychedelic, from motown to your town .The greatest vocal act of all time. --The Temptations story begins with two struggling groups. The Primes (a trio consisting of Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, and Kell Osborne) who came from Alabama to Detroit blessed with heavenly harmonies. And The Distants (Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin, Elbridge Bryant, Albert Harrell, and Richard Street) who in 1959 More... (Submit New The Temptations Lyrics) (Submit New The Temptations Lyrics) Review about The Temptations Saturated with Soul | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Soul to Soul performed by The Temptations Never have I heard a better song. It has haunted me from the tender age of 5 as my dad would loudly play it on his "gram". What a message it carries. Words beautifully and skillfully written and a harmonious balance between voices and instruments. He left them alone, and with LOANS.... | Reviewer: James Sheets ------ About the song Papa Was a Rolling Stone performed by The Temptations If you look at this from a BIBLICAL position the FATHER who is the Husband, or bands the house toghether in a cohesive manner, if not in position will leave the family alone, and with loans.... It is the role of the FATHER, who carries the title deed AS FATHER, which means there are deeds that must be carried out with the title of FATHER, and those deeds are to ensure the family is secure financially (NO EXECUSE JUST RESULTS). The Bible states a FATHER LEAVES HOUSES, and RICHES, so if he did not do that as Father, then he was simply a daddy which spits a seed, and splits the scene, where as a FATHER GOVERNS that seed to SUCCESS... What he was suppose to do as a FATHER, he neglected, and operated solely as a daddy, becasue all he did was simply leave them alone, and with LOANS..... SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song You're My Everything performed by The Temptations They don't write and sing them like they used to! Songs with meaning and depth!! Songs that stand the test of time. Songs with substance! Love songs...not songs that degrade, humiliate. I love the Temptations! If I am not mistaken, there is one original member living. The voices were magnificent and the harmony is a cut above the rest!! BE OPEN MINDED PEOPLE! | Reviewer: Mattie ------ About the song Papa Was a Rolling Stone performed by The Temptations Be open mined people the song is clearly using the word alone as a double meaning to make you think: yes in this situation both alone and loan make sense have you ever sat down and just thought maybe he was really talking about both but couldn't use both words to finish the song so they used what was appealing to the ear and the eye....marinate on that. My papa was a rolling stone too... | Reviewer: Damon ------ About the song Papa Was a Rolling Stone performed by The Temptations And he wore a hat as well. I think there are many people in the world who reflect on their dad when hearing this song. I always wonder why he choose to live like a rolling stone and die because of this unhealty lifestyle. My father became an alcoholic, ended up as a homeless with a hat and died at age 44. All he left us was alone. Double Meaning | Reviewer: Motown Jimmy ------ About the song Papa Was a Rolling Stone performed by The Temptations In my opinion, the lyrics provide an intentional double meaning. Yes, he left them alone, but he also left them in debt with an outstanding loan. For me, the lyrics enhance the impact and poignancy of the entire piece. My Signature Tune!!! | Reviewer: Chikyte ------ About the song My Girl performed by The Temptations This is my signature tune and a masterpiece by the Temptations. It was popularized at my job by one of my co-workers who unfortunately do not have a great voice. He would replace some parts of the song with my name. I have the VHS tape of the 1998 movie of the Temptations. My lovely wife has also bonded with song . "My Girl" is a household song in my family and any time it is being played anywhere, my family will just call my name.... I Love It.... With These Hands - The Temptations | Reviewer: Will ------ About the song With These Hands performed by The Temptations I totally agree that Eddie Kendricks is at his very best when he sings "With These Hands". As incredible as it sounds in the studio version, the live version is even better. Incredible falsetto voice. SPRING JAMIN IN THE PARK | Reviewer: JOSEPH 'JOBK' BURTON ------ About the song Ball Of Confusion performed by The Temptations Classic soulful sounds of the past.... always seem to reachout and remind us of the good ole days. The lyrics and the message are still as clear and timeless,just right for living in the world today,it makes it easy to cope/to atone.Songs like this and the Bible makes it all worth while........Jo-B-K'09 really | Reviewer: leah s ------ About the song Papa Was a Rolling Stone performed by The Temptations i love this song. it is one of my favortie songs to sing ever. and i agree that this a stupid argument. its alone. although "a loan" isnt unthinkable, why would their father who left them leave them money? that just makes no sense. but a father who left and then died, left them alone for sure. sooo, ya. thats about it. and love this song! whooo! and i also love dreamgirls which doesnt really have anyting to do with this but its one of my favorite movies "A Song For You" | Reviewer: Kilvy ------ About the song A Song for You performed by The Temptations I was in my early 20's when that song was new. I lost a dear friend & work-mate in that year. Not only does that song remind me of him, To this day, I believe it to be one of most beautiful tunes the group has ever done! That rich impress- ive harmony sits in the same first row of others of the same ilk. I love the whole album, but that tune will be with me as long as I draw breath... never around | Reviewer: Anon ------ About the song Papa Was a Rolling Stone performed by The Temptations Obviously it is "alone." The boy sings that "I never got a chance to see him" .... he never met his father, but he heard things about him. If the boy was old enough to hear the kinds of things about his father that he heard, he had to be at least five, and more likely at least a pre-teen, based on his level of questions to his mom. It seems hardly unlikely that a man who never came around to even see his son once would have loaned this family money and thus "left them a loan." If he left them debt, then it would say debt. A loan taken out is not a loan to a beneficiary who didn't take it out, it's a debt. This is a silly argument. The man went off to other women and left this family "alone." Stuck in my head | Reviewer: Jenniffer ------ About the song My Girl performed by The Temptations I just recently watched the movie on how the temptations began and ended. When the movie came to the part where they wrote their hit single My Girl, the song got stuck in my head for several days. I love this song!!! WHO GONNA RUN TO | Reviewer: ROY ------ About the song Who You Gonna Run To performed by The Temptations An outstanding love song sung by Paul Williams of THE TEMPTATIONS - A trully outstanding balladeer who had a tragic ending. His singing talent in his brief life was never fully utilized. All the Temptations were brillant singers. However, Paul's songs had a feeling of sorrow and lost love. Thee all time greatest | Reviewer: Lonnie Williams ------ About the song With These Hands performed by The Temptations I truly believe that no one can out do Eddie Kendricks in this veersion of With These Hands. It has been my favorite since I first heard it and sang it with my group The Soul Perceptions. The Tempts were at their best on that Live at the Copa album. If you haven't heard that version YOU MUST. tempin' temtations | Reviewer: Peter Quintiliani ------ About the song You're My Everything performed by The Temptations I agree ,this music is some of the best ever writen and performed. Paul, Otis, Eddie,David , Dennis and the group, "provided the light" for a generation. Thank you lord for letting their lives bless the many millions who have and still enjoy these incredable musical pioneers. A Loan is not unreasonable | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Papa Was a Rolling Stone performed by The Temptations It's not at all unreasonable to go along the lines of 'a loan' versus 'alone', especially given the following: frequent references to debt and the cringe-worthy, verging-on-the-inane parts of the lyrics (which results in the mind not dismissing the interpretation as 'a loan' b/c we've already cringed with other examples in the song). That said, 'alone' DOES make more sense and is one of the saving graces in a song that has ups and downs in terms of its lyrical cleverness. As a final not, why the hell am I even spending time on this? :) timeless perfection | Reviewer: erica ------ About the song Ball Of Confusion performed by The Temptations Last time I heard this song on the radio, I was cruising up West Grand Boulevard in Detroit last summer, right past the Motown Museum, with "Ball Of Confusion" pounding out the car windows, singing along who-cares-how-loud. If you like your tunes with some meat on their bones, you need a good helping of this. Great performance ! | Reviewer: "JP" ------ About the song Too Busy Thinking About My Baby performed by The Temptations As a 1970's disc jockey I played Too Busy Thinking About My Baby, hundreds and hundreds of times. Not the Temptations performance, but the one made by "The Mardi Gras". The song was very popular in Belgium. It is, to me, one of the better "jerk" songs ever performed. Greetz, "JP" Powerful Motown | Reviewer: zipzap ------ About the song Ball Of Confusion performed by The Temptations This song could appear if it were just written yesterday, considering the current times; gun control, unemployment, taxation, war, national loyalty, etc. But... The band played on! A remake would surely ruin it's pure genius and spirit. I don't like remakes of the great classics, with rare exception. The original is a must hear!
