The Temptations Full Movie First Time Reaction!

[@reshaud81]

Paul Williams backstory is that he suffered from Sickle Cell Anemia and Depression and that's what lead to his alcoholism and in the end Suicide in 1973 at age 34. Eddie Kendricks was a heavy chain smoker and died from Lung Cancer in 1992 at age 52. David Ruffin died from a drug overdose in 1991 at the age of 50. Melvin Franklin suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and as a result of his overuse of cortisone shots his immune system became open to infections and health problems like diabetes and necrotizing fasciitis. He died from heart failure in 1995 at age 52. Otis Williams is the only original surviving member still performing at age 81 and he owns the rights to the Temptations name!

[@candice446]

I wish the movie would have touched more on Paul's sickle cell anemia. That's probably why he was in the hospital in the movie.

[@iamthepapercraftfairy]

​@candice446 I was just coming to comment this. I remember watching this as a kid and having sickle cell, I was a bit sad to find out that he was a fellow warrior and the movie never touched on it.

He didn’t kill himself the movie lied he got killed by someone

[@seanchukwuezi3079]

Was he wrong no disrepect to Otis he was talented and the reason the group started he was just boring David say what you want could sing and his voice was smooth Paul gave the groop the cold dance moves and style Blue and Eddie where amazing with the base and tenors

[@zaqueenzhane7744]

​@@seanchukwuezi3079yes he's wrong he was a nobody before joining the group he didn't do well when he wasn't Otis dud all the business side they wouldn't have made it without all of them it's a group he wasn't making it by himself so he needed them

[@zaqueenzhane7744]

​@seanchukwuezi3079yes he wasn't coming up on his own before them and didn't do that great after them

[@cfinley81]

The real Smokey Robinson sang in Melvin's funeral scene as a way to make up for the fact that he wasn't really at his funeral due to him touring at the time. It was his way of saying goodbye to his friend.

David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, some of the greatest voices in R&B history, the voices of the Classic Five Temptations era. Dennis Edwards was an incredible singer too. He had issues that where Otis kicked him out in the 70's and 80's that they did not cover in the movie too.

[@sl_1k]

Yea I was wondering why he didn’t like Dennis anymore, thanks for the extra info bro!

The man singing the song “missing my buddy” is Smokey Robinson. He was behind a good chunk of the hits as far as the pen is concerned. Hell he was behind a lot of hits on Motown Period

There's 6 total members in the temptations David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks,Otis Williams,Paul Williams,Melvin Franklin,Dennis Edwards

They're the six members that were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, so the movie features more of the HOF6 than the other members that have come and gone.

David Ruffin continued to have a successful career after the temptations in his own right until the drugs whooped his ass to the end of no return. We all know Dennis Williams mo famously is known for “Don’t look any further” the same track Pac sampled for hit ‘em up. “cloud 9 “ by The temptations is about cocaine snorting btw. Fun fact

The man at the end who you said was blessing your ears was the real Smokey Robinson

[@dassehmc]

The movie makes you think badly of David Ruffin like as a kid he was my least favorite Temptation until I actually started watching videos of the real David Ruffin and he was much more than how this movie portrayed him as. Also David Ruffin is hands down my favorite male vocalist ever!

[@AishaRaison]

Fun fact...I guess. Otis and other producers of this movie were successfully sued for some of the stories in this movie. Otis wasn't the most reliable source for this retelling.
