Paperback. As one of the greatest acts to come out of the Motown Record Corporation, the influence of the Temptations cannot be overstated. Their catalogue of classic hits and their performances have set the standard for all male groups that followed. The 'Classic Five' line-up of Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin created a legacy that has endured to this day. Aided by William 'Smokey' Robinson, and later Norman Whitfield, the group had hits such as 'Get Ready', 'Ain't Too Proud To Beg', and, of course, 'My Girl'. This line-up only lasted four years, but they created such an impressive legacy and following that the group has been able to carry on until the present day. The introduction to the group of Dennis Edwards in 1968 coincided with a new style of music for the group, produced by Whitfield, dubbed 'psychedelic soul', inspired by Sly & The Family Stone, that gave the group a second act of new hits. However, by 1972, only Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin would remain from the 'Classic Five' line-up and the hits were becoming more elusive. This book explores their releases from their founding to 1978, when the group had endured further personnel changes and a change in record label. It examines the group's triumphs and struggles during this period, and tells a remarkable story of persistence and longevity. AUTHOR: Born and raised in Sussex, George Haffenden grew up listening to his parents' record collection and developed a deep admiration of soul, funk, disco and more. He spent his formative years shunning current trends in music, instead collecting obscure records, largely by the Temptations. He is now a content designer and the curator of the blog The Funk & Soul Revue, writing reviews and in-depth pieces on the history of soul. He's also interviewed several of the great soul icons, including George Clinton, Patti LaBelle and members of the Whispers, The Stylistics, and The Temptations. The Temptations are one of the iconic soul vocal groups, this book covers the first phase of their career, with volume two to follow in 2026. Hits in this period include the classics 'My Girl', 'Get Ready', 'Ball Of Confusion' and 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone.'
