The Temptations Perform A Medley Of Hits On ’The View’ | The View

[@gwendolynjohnson5403]

Otis is the only original member singing with the group. RIP David Ruffin, Paul Williams, Eddie Kindrick, and Melvin. Love you forever.

[@dctalk1117]

Yes he is. David wasn’t an original either but he definitely was apart of the most memorable lineup

[@DVPerry220]

@@dctalk1117David replaced Elbridge Bryant. The Temptations are known for replacements. They even had Ron debut on “Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever”.

[@clariseharrington8252]

🙏🏿♥️

[@jaylene.turner6524]

The originals are Otis Williams, Elbridge Bryant,Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendricks,and Paul Williams. The group started in 1960. Otis,Elbridge,and Melvin came from Otis Williams & The Distants while Eddie and Paul came from the Primes. They merged the two groups into The Elgins and changed to the Temptations after signing with Motown on May 15th,1961. Elbridge Bryant was fired in late December 1963,and David replaced him on January 1st,1964.

[@carolynl.crudup9103]

The View is relevant. As always....The Temptations look good and sing ever so good. They were the best group in my opinion bc we related to their lyrics and experiences.

[@rickmartin7132]

Other than Christmas songs, My Girl has to be the most popular song in America! I can't think of any song of any genre known by more people of all races, old and young than My Girl. Next time you're out, just ask random folks if they know the song. They will start singing the unforgettable introduction "I've got sunshine on a cloudy day. When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May. I guess you say, what can make me feel this way? My girl, my girl, my girl. Talkin bout my girl...MY GIRL!"

[@RDavis-ps8ns]

Fine as vintage wine. Celebrating 60 years of success. RIP Eddie Kendricks, Paul & David

[@toib.7143]

One of my favorite all time memories of this incredible group is me doing the Temptation walk, (when my mama wasn't around to see it of course). I thought that was the coolest dance step I'd ever seen or did in my entire 11 year old life.

[@johnnylopez7713]

Good morning, my name is Johnny Lopez. I was born and raised in Chicago Illinois, and I love listening to Motown and I love the temptations. I will go up-and-down the hallways. As a young man sing in just my imagination. Well, I ended up moving to Puerto Rico, with my parents at the age of 16. I encountered this young man. He pulled out the base and started playing just my imagination. I started singing. I'm trying to make it as short as possible. Sing watch that. They ask me to sing at high school graduation and I sang the song and the rest is history because like I said, I've been blessed.

[@ErnestCBattle]

That was soooo good!!!! Thank you Temptations!!! Today's medley was on point!!! Congratulations "My Girl" 60 years. Absolutely love Jawan on Broadway and now as a member, representing so joyfully Melvin Blue Franklin!!!

As long as he’s still alive, they’re the Temptations. It’s not his fault he took better care of his health unlike his band mates. By the way,David wasn’t a founding member. He replaced Elbridge Bryant in 1964. The group started in 1960.
