Temptations - There is no stopping

[@andrewhagan8885]

Blue doesn't get enough credit. Dude was a beast!

[@jamesalford3734]

How is it that Melvin didn't get enough credit? How much credit is needed? How much credit should be given? He was the co founder of the Temptations, along with Otis and the spokesperson for the group; he's one of the few bass vocalist who has sang lead on a few Temps tunes and although Paul Williams was the group's initial choreographer, Melvin was the best dancer.

[@wdjbaad]

The reason Melvin didn't do all the steps with the other Tempts was this was after he had been shot and was still recovering from gun shots. Thank you God for keeping Melvin around a little longer. Great song and video. Louis Price did a great job on this song.

[@Polyfamily123]

He had rheumatoid arthritis also

[@DorisKeith-v5j]

Love Melvin❤️

[@thebassbat7882]

melvin franklin, the king of bass voice and a beautiful soul

[@thecesarvalencia]

everytime i hear Melvin's voice i'm like: oh shit, what a voice!

[@DanielSchmidt94521]

Melvin Franklin sounds great. What a voice.

[@BLAZE-gg9zf]

I love Melvin Franklin! What a amazing bass that always sang with passion

[@Meezy06]

Melvin Franklin, my favorite singer. He had a talent that would blow your mind.

[@raebutts1666]

I agree! Melvin's voice is awesome!

[@johnsummers385]

MET AND SPENT THE DAY WITH MELVIN FRANKLIN AND HIS GRANDKIDS ONCE AS HIS SPANISH TRANSLATER IN TIJUANA MEXICO. VERY NICE AND MELLOW GUY.

[@bethbartlett5692]

Remembering the Dessert Inn - Miss you Melvin. God bless your lovely wife and girls -

[@SuperMhinton]

Rest in peace to all of the Temptations who passed away. Temptations forever!

[@gearywalker6113]

But Otis Williams was a last original temptations Left if you already knew that

[@jeffreyconyers8735]

Price could handle the steps greatly. As well as lead upon this underrated song.

[@GeraldB526]

He's one of those guys who influenced me 2 sing bass.

[@bethbartlett5692]

What a great man to influence you - I assure you - I really adored him - fab family too.

[@KendallKent]

Do you know who taught Melvin?

[@CarlstenProductions]

This is so fucking awesome! The highly skilled live musicians, the tight choreography and 5 AMAZING performers and singers.

[@bethbartlett5692]

Melvin always my fav!

[@normaj.3305]

It's a joy to watch these guys dance and sing, so sorry I never got to see a live show.

[@CarlstenProductions]

I'm so extremely glad that this performance is available to be seen at youtube. Footage like this is a complete time machine back in to awesomeness.

[@skinnyman1434]

You could tell the Temps couldn't wait to get to this one. Dennis kilt it, Louis went on and buried it. That was fun.

[@jeffreyconyers8735]

Every Temptations members could bring the steps and this is a classic example.

[@bufb]

I like Louis doing this one better than Dennis....it surprises me too

[@jessejames1956]

You should hear Louis doing a Song For You in another video. He owns that song after that performance. Dennis can sing but Louis can sang.

[@TheDenise1333]

Otis keep up the good

[@chariotwofilthy8374]

Gm edagdwg thanks for sharing this history of respect for yourself and others God bless them love this video this is what happens when you are a real child of God having fun enjoying your life with people no matter who you are or were you come from God is always around linda j peace ❤️💯☮️☮️☮️☮️🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jeshun7071]

Memories of the late great Blue of The TemptaTions, who died this day in 1995 of heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a week after he was admitted following a series of seizures.

[@JerseyGurl4Life]

I wish I could find the whole show

[@MegaPatron1]

+ Gary Dodgson. Temps my fav group of all time. But YOW, those jackets! Still love them tho!

[@princedarkhot]

Patpot Munro YEAH BRO...

[@jaredL18]

Imagine a hollow Gram show of them!!!!

[@MrBilde]

Very nice! Oh and a cool deeep bass voice :)

[@queenslyric800]

@4dogtimeline that is Louis Price and Glenn Leonard. This is during their time with Atlantic Records

[@hollidayevery]

Moza Jennings Actually this os on the Temptations -produced album THE TEMPTATIONS DO THE TEMPTATIONS. Mosy songs are written by them in different combinations with Suzee Ikeda. The project is on MOTOWN not Atlantic.

[@josiefogg1]

gotta love those 70's clothes

[@cheayunju]

So low with his voice! I think this dude might be enlightened.

[@bethbartlett5692]

Melvin was - a rare fabulous man and his family such beautiful people - he passed way too soon for us.

[@deneenjeffries2768]

The actor who played Richard Street in the miniseries really resembles him

[@josh027020]

This was right after he was carjacked & shot, he probably couldn't. There's another video of them doing this song live and Melvin's not there

[@brockhershey414]

Looks like Melvin couldn't keep up the dance steps with the other Temps.

[@CameronCustoms]

Yeah, this performance was after he got shot !

[@davidamalla]

Hi do you have midnight special full show 1975b!?

[@jeffreyconyers-z3r]

Louis put his touched upon Dennis led song on disc.

[@readbtwnthelines]

do you have the rest of the concert?

[@crmlcutie16]

Can anyone tell me where I can watch this whole show in its entirety????

[@Chicken_Wing91]

Melvin Franklin is also the uncle of Rick James

[@SuperRockman30]

where is Dennis

[@gearywalker6113]

In 1977 Dennis Edwards was still at Motown and louis price replace him , Dennis made a song and it didn't work as well as the album that people don't want to promote

[@williebowen1043]

DENNIS EDWARDS left the group. LOUIS PRICE replaced him as LEAD singer.

[@hollidayevery]

The Temptations Do the Temptations on MOTOWN, not Atlantic.

[@bassistdc]

Right that was with Motown however The Tempts recorded a few albums for Atlantic.

[@DorisKeith-v5j]

So much less than the Fab5😔

[@jayvernon7695]

i think Louis could do Paul songs

[@williebowen1043]

Richard Street does Paul Williams VOCAL parts on the TEMPTATIONS songs.

[@williebowen1043]

Paul Williams is a co LEAD VOCALS. Not the TEMPTATIONS primary LEAD SINGER.

[@CoCotheTurtle]

People it's time to come... . . . . . ...together! . . Hahaha! They did that on purpose!

[@bassistdc]

I didn't like Louis Prices voice, particularly as a Temptation.

[@bufb]

I didnt care for it either. Didnt seem to quite make it

[@jessejames1956]

Louis is an awesome singer. A singer’s singer.

[@dallasuconnfan]

Me neither

[@dusroots]

Yea, he can sing no doubt. But were used to David, Dennis, and Paul having those grittier voices. We got spoiled lol

[@ghusaghusa2135]

That was a good performance of a god-awful song!

[@Malonzo]

OTIS IS A BACk UP SINGER FOR LIFE HE AINT THE ONE HOLDIN THE GROUP TOGETHER HES DRAGGING ON HIS CAREER AND DESTROYING THE TEMPTATIONS LEGACY....

[@williebowen1043]

Otis Williams is holding the group together. Quit with the crackhead comments.

[@juneedwards3153]

@@williebowen1043 You are correct

[@tedkay]

Louis price! voice is all wrong for the Tempts signature sound~ his voice has no power~ no raspy griity sound their leads are known for~ RUFIIN, DENNIS! OLLIE! a bad choice for the tempts~ well as we all see he"s didn't last~ Otis was desperate to keep the temopts alive and im thankful~ he didn't stay true ti the Tempts original sound the ! the Dramactics did it right~ Ron replaced wee Gee with a exact sound alike! he stayed true to the vocal styling that got tham the hits! ist time seeing this

[@jessejames1956]

Did you know Louis did the Dennis and David parts in the Temps movie?

[@juneedwards3153]

I have to agree with you tedkay about Louis Price. His sound just doesn't match or belong.

[@3912James]

Lead singer is a poor man's Dennis Edwards....same vocal delivery like Dennis but lacks the power.

[@jessejames1956]

Dennis was shouter. Louis is a singer.

[@BLAZE-gg9zf]

@@jessejames1956 exactly!

[@tedreynolds6363]

I'm so sorry Mr Price but you're no, Paul, David, Richard, Eddie, Dennis, Ollie or Ron. You can sing, but you're not in the same class as the above mentioned.

[@jessejames1956]

Obviously you don’t know much about singing. Especially if you put him in the same category as Eddie who was a tenor.

[@williebowen1043]

Quit trying to compare LOUIS PRICE to David RUFFIN and DENNIS EDWARDS as the TEMPTATIONS LEAD SINGER. LOUIS PRICE can sing.

[@maritaweihtag1463]

Yes and he has a great voice
