For more than fifty years, The Temptations have been a hit-making machine, releasing dozens of records and selling out performances worldwide. An essential fixture on the original Motown scene, The Temptations began their musical life in Detroit in the early ’60s. In 1964, after recording Smokey Robinson’s “The Way You Do the Things You Do,” they became stars. A steady avalanche of hits followed, including “My Girl,” “Get Ready,” and “I Wish It Would Rain.” No matter what changes time wrought in popular culture or the group’s own personnel, The Temptations retained their signature flair, flash, and musical excellence. “Great singing,” says founding member Otis Williams, “will always prevail.”
