Good Monday morning, my Brothers and Sisters in Arms!!! A new week has begun and a week I hope to add some great tunes as part of my overall Music Interlude posts... I begin this week's first Music Interlude songs with a great group from the 1960's, 1970's & 1980's, by the name of "THE TEMPTATIONS"! I graduated from high school that year and headed off to college only to leave after a year to join the USAF... The Temptations were I group I really enjoyed!
NOTE: This Music Video is a full live concert, about an hour long, so I provided the song list of the their songs so you can choose one or all as you like... I bring this to you as a great part of "BLACK HISTORY MONTH, 2023"!!!
Here's a short bio write up by One Media Music:
"The Temptations are an American vocal group who formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1960. They were known for their success in the 60s and 70s at Motown Records. The group's repertoire has included, during its five-decade career, R&B, doo-wop, funk, disco and soul music. Known for their recognizable choreography, distinct harmonies, and flashy onstage suits, the Temptations have been said to be as influential to soul as The Beatles are to pop and rock. Having sold tens of millions of albums, The Temptations are one of the most successful groups in music history. As of 2010, the Temptations continue to perform and record for Universal Records with its one living original member, Otis Williams, still in its lineup.
The Temptations helped put Motown Records on the map in 1964, with their song "The Way You Do The Things You Do" rising to the top of the charts. They were the first Motown act to earn a Grammy Award. Three classic Temptations songs, "My Girl", "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)", and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone", are among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll." - One Media Music:

Late 50's, and 60's were my favorite decades. The Temps, and The Drifters were my favorite vocal groups. But don't put a lock on it. Being from the Midwest, C&W was the flavor of the month. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
