Event Description
Pops sensation the Temptations, known for their recognizable choreography, distinct harmonies, and onstage flair, have been said to be as influential to soul as the Beatles were to rock. The group's repertoire has included, at various times during its five-decade career, R&B, doo-wop, funk, disco, soul, and adult contemporary music. Over the course of their career, the Temptations have released four Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles and 14 Billboard R&B number-one singles. The Temptations were the first Motown act to earn a Grammy Award. Three classic Temptations songs, ?My Girl?, ?Ain't Too Proud to Beg?, and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone", are among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. The Temptations continue to perform and record for Universal Records with the one living original member, co-founder Otis Williams, still in its lineup.
