The Temptations
For more than forty years, The Temptations
have prospered, propelling popular music with a series of smash hits,
and sold-out performances throughout the world. The history of The
Temptations is the history of contemporary American pop. An essential
component of the original Motown machine, that amazing engine invented
by Berry Gordy, The Temps 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. Other classics include “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”.
