The Temptations

Thanks to their impeccable harmonies, a parade of hits, and fine-tuned choreography, the Temptations became the definitive vocal group of the 1960s. One of Motown's most elastic acts, they tackled both lush pop and politically charged funk with equal flair, and over time have weathered a steady stream of changes in personnel and consumer tastes with rare dignity and grace. Among their many achievements are 15 Top Ten pop hits, including the number ones "My Girl," "I Can't Get Next to You," "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)," and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone." The last of those four and "Cloud Nine" earned the group Grammy awards for Best R&B Performance, and the group continued to receive accolades from the Recording Academy into the 2010s, including a Lifetime Achievement Award. Nineteen of the Temptations' albums and compilations have gone either gold or platinum. These include R&B chart-topping titles such as Greatest Hits (1966), Cloud Nine (1969), and Masterpiece (1973). Still led by original member Otis Williams, the Temptations celebrated another a major milestone with the release of Temptations 60 (2022).
