on Peacock – 2 part movie.
A biographical look at The Temptations, the Motown soul vocal quintet who first came to fame in the 1960s, as seen from the viewpoint of the last surviving original member, Otis Williams. Beginning from their humble origins in the late 1950s and continuing through the 1990s and the deaths of the other original members.
The trials they went through will just might break your heart. For those moments in time when everything was working for them, they created magic.
Q-tips say: YES, watch it.
Mrs. Q says: It might bring back memories when you were younger & might find yourself singing along. Was delighted by this movie. Not only is it largely educational and offers very introspective looks into the lives of all members of the group, but the acting is fantastic. The film truly captures the soul music scene of early 1960’s Detroit, and further on as the Temptations rise to fame, etc. The soundtrack is amazing, and you will truly sympathize with this group of real-life legends who sang their hearts out in Motown’s heyday.
Some of their hit songs: My Girl, Papa was a Rolling Stone, Treat her like a Lady, Hey Girl, Stay.
