Silent Night - The Temptations (2002) | Live on Motown Christmas (TV Special)

[@temptin_temptations]

!Temptations Fans! I know everybody has their preferences but please stop saying this isn't "The Real Temptations." These are the Tempts whether you like this lineup or not. Once a Temptation always a Temptation. The 1980 version wasn't even the original members, it was Dennis Edwards, Glenn Leonard, Melvin, Richard Street and Otis Williams. The 1970 version was with four original Tempts and Dennis. Nobodies trying to be like the original Tempts, they're all being great in their own unique way. This page is dedicated to ALL the members, not just the glory days. So please, enjoy this performance and have a happy holidays!

[@JeannetteMocha]

True that 💯. They were great back when and they are still great now. It's my favorite Xmas song . Great performance of my birthday song

[@Urhighness-p2n]

Bo was amazing!

It's wonderful that the "legacy" is still alive and strong 💪🏼 _ giving it to the people!

[@readbtwnthelines]

amen!!! its such a good point that it wasn't even the original tempts on this song. the real original tempts featured Elbridge Bryant, and they won 3 grammys on "Papa" with 2 "not original" members

It does not matter if these r the original Tempts or not, every set of Tempts have been simply marvelous. I applaude Otis Williams for putting this group together and sticking with all of them all of these years. I have been devoted fan for many years and i am seventy five years old and still am. Love all of u.

God Bless the ones that are still with us and may those that have gone on "Rest In Love"!
