The group, known for its finely tuned choreography, distinct harmonies, and stylish suits, has been said to be as influential to soul as The Beatles are to rock. Having sold an estimated 22 million albums by 1982, The Temptations are one of the most successful groups in black music history and were the definitive male vocal group of the 1960s. In addition, they have the second-longest tenure on Motown (behind Stevie Wonder), as they were with the label for a total of 40 years: 16 years from 1961 to 1977, and 24 more from 1980 to 2004 (from 1977 to 1980, they were signed to Atlantic Records). As of 2005, The Temptations continue to perform for Universal Records with only one original member, founder Otis Williams, in its lineup.
Like its sister group The Supremes, The Temptations' lineup has changed frequently over the years. The original group included members of two local Detroit vocal groups: second tenor/baritone Otis Williams, first tenor Elbridge Bryant and bass Melvin Franklin from The Distants; and first tenor/falsetto Eddie Kendricks and second tenor/baritone Paul Williams (no relation to Otis) from The Primes. Among the most notable future Temptations were lead singers David Ruffin and Dennis Edwards (both of whom became successful Motown solo artists after leaving the group, as did Kendricks), Richard Street (another former Distant), Damon Harris, Ron Tyson, Ali-Ollie Woodson, Theo Peoples, and G.C. Cameron.
Over the course of their career, The Temptations have released four number-one pop hit singles and 14 number-one R&B hit singles, and their material has earned them three Grammy Awards. Most of the early Temptations hits, including "The Way You Do the Things You Do", "My Girl", and "Get Ready" were written and produced by Smokey Robinson and other members of The Miracles, while composer/producer Norman Whitfield and lyricists Eddie Holland and Barrett Strong crafted most of the group's later hits, including "Ain't Too Proud to Beg", "I Wish It Would Rain", "Cloud Nine", "I Can't Get Next to You", "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)", and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone".
2. There was also a 50s doo-wop group from New York named the Temptations. They are best remembered for their 1960 top 40 hit "Barbara. After this hit, lead singer Neil Stevens went solo.

The Temptations Lyrics
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of may
Well I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
Well I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl), ooh
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Ooh, yeah
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame (ooh, hey, hey, hey)
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim (oh, yes I do)
I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
(Talkin' 'bout my girl my girl) I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl (my girl)
(Talkin' 'bout my girl my girl) I've even got the month of may
With my girl (my girl, whoa)
She's all I can think (my girl)
(Talkin' 'bout my girl my girl)
Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl, whoa)

Minha Garota
Eu tenho a luz do Sol num dia nublado
Quando está frio lá fora
Para mim é mês de maio
Eu acho que você perguntaria
O que pode me fazer sentir desse jeito?
Minha garota (minha garota, minha garota)
Falando sobre minha garota (minha garota)
Eu tenho tanto mel
Que as abelhas me invejam
Eu tenho uma canção mais doce
Do que os pássaros na árvores
Bom, eu suponho que você perguntaria
O que pode me fazer sentir desse jeito?
Minha garota (minha garota, minha garota)
Falando sobre minha garota (minha garota)
Ooh, ooh
Ei, ei, ei
Ei, ei, ei
Ooh, pois é
Eu não preciso de nenhum dinheiro, fortuna ou fama
Tenho todas as riquezas, querida
Que um homem possa exigir
Bom, eu suponho que você perguntaria
O que pode me fazer sentir desse jeito?
Minha garota (minha garota, minha garota)
Falando sobre minha garota (minha garota)
Eu tenho o brilho do Sol num dia nublado com minha garota
Eu tenho até o mês de maio com a minha garota
Falando sobre, falando sobre, falando sobre minha garota
Ooh, minha garota

Beautiful song 🤍Hello from Scotland🏴How are you doing today? I hope it's been a great year so far?

Back when bands were the whole package!! Choreography, great singing, and charisma. Not to mention the outfits were always immaculate and matching. Not many artist can make good music, dance, and NOT have a cuss or sexual word every other sentence. That's pure talent to have all these qualities in one. Must pay your respects to Motown 🙇🏽👐🏾

Why can't people do this now? Especially American dark people? Not allowed to say black.
