5 Star group. (07 June 2007)

THE WAY THEY DID THE THINGS THEY DID (28 November 2006)
This is an astonishing DVD that showcases the immense talents of America's, ney THE WORLD'S, finest vocal group. THE TEMPTATIONS.

You are guided through their history by the last surviving member Otis Williams. He offers an insightful and heartwarming portrait of the group and their life and times.

Of course it's about the music. And what music. You get 16 performances, starting in the black and white days of 1965 and finishing in the glorious technicolour of the fabulous funky 70s. Everything is here from The Way You Do The Things You Do, My Girl, Get Ready, Ain't Too Proud Too Beg right through to the ultra gritty street funk of Cloud Nine and Ball of Confusion.

Then there'the extras. Audio only a capella versions of 16 tracks, fresh from the Motown vaults. Words cannot describe just how great this segment is. It'll make you smile and cry by turns.

If you only get one DVD for Christmas, get this one.

Fabulous stuff.

Thanks for the memories! (25 September 2006)
Truly an extraordinary DVD package which includes the very essence of the Temptations!

Most of the performances were lip-synched, but just to see them perform on these classic clips, you can truly feel the magic either for the first time if you haven't seen them during their glory days or if you are a nostalgic fan revisitng the past! Groovy shows such as the Hollywood Palace, The Ed Sullivan Show (of which I have many video clips of the Tempts on VHS) and Murray the K features the Tempts doing what they are known around the world for...doing their precise movements, singing their tight harmonies AND looking good doing it!

For me, the extras are what impress me, especially viewing the Tempts hard at work on SORRY IS A SORRY WORD, a taping for the CBS News segment, THE MOTOWN SOUND.

Otis's interview throughout the DVD and during the bonus feature is also another highlight for me. He was there through it all and is still around to tell us about the magic of the Temptations!

The acapella section on 15 of their biggest hits continues to awe and astound me! It is like they didn't need a rhythm section...the harmonies were that tight!

Complete with never-before released photos and another excellent essay by Rob Bowman, this is a must have!
