The most successful group in black music history, The Temptations, was formed in Detroit in 1961. In 1963, the lineup, David Ruffins, Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin, Otis Williams and Paul Williams celebrated their first #1 Hit, “The Way You Do The Things You Do.”
Known worldwide for their silky smoothness, choreography, distinct harmonies and definitive style, The Temptations (or The Five Kings of Motown) continued their reign at the top of the charts, with hits like “Get Ready,” “Just My Imagination,” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “My Girl,” “The Girls Alright with Me,” “I Wish it Would Rain,” and “Beauty’s Only Skin Deep.”
The Temptations recorded over 50 albums...with 50 pop and 51 R&B singles in the top ten! They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, and in 1990 four of the original lead singers joined with Nate Evans, fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee with Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions, to form the Temptations Revue...traveling throughout the world receiving the same recognition as they did in the group’s heyday.
Today, Nate Evans is joined with Ritchie Stanley, Greg Lee, Curtis Taylor and Reggie Reed to bring the music of the ages straight to Pigeon Forge! Enjoy Nate...The Temptations’ timeless tunes, some special guests and a few wonderful stories from the history of Motown at the
