Background:  

 

* The history of THE TEMPTATIONS is the history of contemporary American pop. They were an essential component of the original Motown machine, invented by Berry Gordy.

 

* THE TEMPTATIONS began their musical life in Detroit in the early sixties. It wasn’t until 1964 however, that the Smokey Robinson written-and-produced “The Way You Do the things You Do” turned the guys into stars.

 

* An avalanche of hits followed, many of which…”My Girl,” for instance…attained immortality. “It’s Growing,” “Since I Lost My Baby;,” “Get Ready,” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “Beauty Is only Skin Deep”, “I Wish It Would Rain”…and the hits kept coming.

 

* Beyond the fabulous singing, THE TEMPTATIONS became known for smooth stepping and flawless presentations. “The Temptations Walk” became a staple of American style. Flair, flash and class. Millions of fans saw them as cultural heroes.

 

* In the eighties, THE TEMPTATIONS prevailed with smash-hits such as the Otis Williams’ penned “Treat Her Like A Lady.”

 

And so THE TEMPTATIONS go on…….and on…..and on……..
