In 1973 I was only 13 going on 14 years old. I always remember the Motown music because my parents were always play music in the house even though we went to church. My sister was 12 years old but when our parents went out we used to run and sneak and play our parents music 🎶🎵. Quite naturally it was The Supremes, temptations, Marvin Gaye and many more of the Motown sound. Long story short by the time I became a young adult about 2021 years old I remember hearing the story about Paul Williams. Deep down in my heart I do not believe Paul Williams took his own life. Very handsome man blessed with a God sent talent can sing his butt off.... I believe someone set him up. Lost his life is such an early age and still write the day I still believe someone took his life I do not believe he took his own life. It's just a sad situation so I I feel like this whoever done it if there is still alive today I wish you'd just come forward it just breaks my heart. I can only imagine his wife and his children how they feel. Play Paul Williams rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️. And I pray that one day the truth will be revealed. Going too soon but never forgotten. As long as we listen to their music and watch the videos he will always remain in our hearts.

What's mysterious about David being so strung out on drugs that his death was inevitable? David was my favorite Temptation but he had his demons and they unfortunately caught up with him. Paul, on the other hand, was having an extra marital affair. It looks like he was murdered somewhere and his body dumped in the location it was found.

[@DallasChesterville40]

[@marciawade9101]

It's not so "mysterious" when you consider the lives these two were leading. David's involvement in drugs, which he could've EASILY owed drug money and THAT'S what I think was the source of HIS demise. Paul, who had MULTIPLE affairs, kids and alcohol addiction and, quite possibly, depression from having Sickle cell disease, all while trying to maintain his standing in the music business, WHILST coming at Berry Gordy with "an accounting of monies owed to him" (which back then, YOU DIDN'T DO!) and threatening to expose folks.

Paul was and always will be the best of the Tempting Temptations. There was no one else that could dance like Paul. And as suicides go: who would take a gun, you being right handed, and pulling the trigger firing it, and it conviently, discharge, striking Paul on his left side of his temple, killing him. Has anyone tried this, just using your finger instead of a gun😢? It is impossible, and rather uncomfortable to do? Are we the people, so dumb, that we will believe anything. And as for Paul, it really doesn't matter. Nothing will bring him back. However his family deserves to know the truth!

the Temptations movie was good , but definitely told from Otis Williams point of view , made Paul Williams death look like a suicide when this could have been murder . and I read when Paul got kicked out of the group he WASNT sitting around being depressed , drinking , and begging to be let back in. he still continued to write and record music and almost formed his OWN band . the movie got that wrong

@marciawade9101 Reading between the lines and knowing what happened based upon the facts are two very different things. Innuendo, gossip, rumors, speculation, and even circumstantial evidence are woefully lacking when it comes to saying what really happened without any actual proof.

This is sad.. too bad it ended in him being unalived.. rip Paul

[@healingwatersbhm]

I have no idea what transpired with Paul Williams during his life lived on this planet. But, I will say that in the 90’s I took care of his mom and although I grew up listening to and loving the music of the magnificent Temptations, I did not know of Paul (he transitioned early in my life) His mom, displayed and shared how much she loved her son & was VERY proud of his accomplishments (as evidenced by the awards displayed in her home). I’m sorry Paul had so many negative vibes that were used to ensure that he would no longer have the ability to grace those of us that were to come after him. Rest in power Paul ❤

Wow!! Thank you for Sharing this! As Paul Williams' Fans, we appreciate that you had the rare opportunity to tend to his mom and you did it with a clean heart. Be Blessed!

[@TravionMcadory]

Wow.. that is so special to have been in the graces of Paul Williams mother. Do u have any more stories? Pls share

[@TamikaBaines-r3l]

And I need you now more than ever

[@smithraychelle474]

One thing about it Eddie was Paul true friend ❤

[@divongreen8278]

Crazy how in the movie & stories they say the alcohol took over & he killed himself 🤦🏿‍♂️ RIP 🪦 Temptations legend

[@TheChaeCastillo]

They never mentioned that he had sickle cell in the movie. They just made him look like a drunk

[@patriciaslaughtersmith15]

That was a very sad story on what happened to Paul Williams R.I.P.Paul

[@Glam2Greatness]

Eddie was always fine ❤❤❤😂

WHATEVER HAAPPNED TO PAUL WILLIAMS ONE OF THE MOST GIFTED OF THE TEMPTATIONS AND WE LOVED THEM ALL. WILL BE MISSED ALWAYS. HE WAS SO GIFTED. WE WILL WONDER WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO HIM, BUT IF THERE WAS MURDER, THEN I AM SURE BY NOW, WHAT YOU REAP YOU WILL SOW. ALL OF THE TEMPTATIONS HAD ALL OF THEIR DIFFERENT ISSUES IN LIFE THAT THEY HAD TO DEAL WITH. I HOPED THAT THINGS WOULD HAD BEEN DIFFERENT FOR ALL OF THEM, SO FAR AS THE SAD TIMES THAT THEY HAD IN LIFE. BUT I AM SURE THEY HAD GOOD TIMES TOO. I DO HOPE THAT THEY HAD MORE GOOD TIMES THAN BAD. THEIR MUSIC BOUGHT COMFORT, JOY, AND MEMORIES OF A TIME WHEN THE USA. NEEDED SOMETHING TO MAKE US ENJOY A LITTLE IN LIFE. WHEN EVERYONE WAS CRYING OUT PEACE NOT WAR!! I HOPE A NEW SINGERS AND ARTIST WILL LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT THE TEMPTATIONS. RATHER GOOD, SAD, OR BAD. TO REMEMBER WE NEED TO TURN TO GOD IN TIMES OF HURT AND PAIN. IN THE LONG RUN WE WILL BE GLAD WE DID. JOHN 3:16 FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELEIVE IN HIM, SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. IN THIS WORLD WE NEED JESUS CHRIST TO GET US THOUGH WE SHOULD LOOK FOR THAT COMFORT IN THE PROMISES OF GOD IN THE HOLY BIBLE, IN JESUS CHRIST NAME AMEN JOHN 10:10

I always felt that Paul was murdered! He was right handed but the bullet hold was on the left side of his head, but its ok, the Bible says we reap what we sow! I loved Paul and all the Temptations!

[@AnitaBrimage]

Paul Williams was a great dance R.I.P 😢

[@NeptuneLady1957]

Wait..one theory is that his girlfriend's husband came home to the house Paul bought for her and chased Paul and shot Paul in the head?

[@back_to_the_60s]

No. They claim it was another girlfriend.

[@sessomshawk]

Makes no sense. 🤔🤨😑

[@kianawoodson508]

Where is my favorite person beside paul

[@fredicagoillanoise1309]

I was just a little over 2 years old when Paul Williams passed.

[@realness2628]

Wow. Never knew that because of the movie. He was murdered

[@BiGGROBBNelson]

In the temptations movie Paul's wife name is Maxine

[@paul_williams_fans]

Paul's wife's name is Mary. She didn't give her permission for her name or their kid's names and likeness to be used in the film, so they changed her name to Maxine.

[@maxineboatwright2012]

Oh yes!! I knew that.

[@b.g.960]

Rest in peace Paul❤🙏🙏🙏.

[@lisasangria1086]

It seems that it was a robbery gone wrong or the girlfriend's husband got mad in a jealous rage. No one shoots themselves in the head with their less dominate hand.

[@vickiwhitney2789]

Amen..God knows and judgment Day is Coming. Rest on Paul

[@gladysmorgan5653]

I was Only 14 at the time.But his Death is Suspicious to Me. Sloppy police work and back then NO DNA. So the girlfriend had a husband ? I have a Lot of questions ⁉️

[@Stacey-ki4qc]

SC WORRIOR!🖤❤️ R.I.H NOMORE PAIN.🙏🏾🕊️💐

[@anitaharrell6790]

oh wow this is so sad with people explaining more about his death yes it sounds like someone probably silenced him smh and this calls for A reopening of his murder case to me

[@michelegreshan1539]

WOW. It’s a lot we don’t know behind the scenes. I guess to save the Embarrassment to his family. They blamed it on suicide. SMH

[@marciawade9101]

I'm SURE his family knows it wasn't a suicide.

[@Perfectpearl]

If he bought a house for his girlfriend and she was married, doesn’t that mean he bought a house for the husband too?!

[@brendahall7520]

As long it's been noone every talked the real truth bout Paul.No right handed person can shoot theyself on the left it's been a cover up and noone is fighting for the truth...And how much was his wife paid to never talk about it.😢😢😢😢We need more story like this first time on here but I will be following to here more storyline 😊😊😊
