|
|
Featured for the first time on DVD, 16 classic full-length performances from the Temptations on American television appearances during Motown's golden era. This is the first official DVD anthology of classic archival television performances by one of the most successful singing groups of all time. Beginning with a stunning 1965 performance of "The Way You Do The Things You Do" and concluding with the epic "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone," filmed in concert in September of 1972 (two weeks before it debuted on the charts). Also included hardly-seen color footage of the group in the studio recording "Sorry Is A Sorry Word" with the Funk Brothers and Motown personnel and Eddie Kendricks' final filmed performance with the original group.
This DVD includes a wealth of vintage performances with re-mastered sound and video. Interspersed between the songs, Otis Williams (the only surviving member of the original Temptations) reminisces about the history of the group in an insightful 25 minute interview filmed exclusively for this DVD. You also get a 24-page booklet with essay by Grammyฎ-winning author Rob Bowman.

THE TEMPTATIONS
CD - "For Lovers Only - $13.99 + S/H
|
|
The Temptations that made For Lovers Only in 1995 were far from the group that stormed the charts in the '60s and '70s--only baritone Otis Williams remained from the original lineup (he gets all of one lead vocal here), and they were still shaken by the recent death of founding bass man Melvin Franklin. So they went back to first principles--the radiant close harmonies, each voice leaning on the others, that have been their secret weapon from the beginning--and beyond, to pop standards of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. The album's synthy instrumental arrangements already sound dated (especially a G-funk take on "Time After Time"), despite respectful cameos from Milt Jackson and Stevie Wonder. But the singing (most of the leads are handled by Ali-Ollie Woodson and Ron Tyson, who both joined in the '80s) is splendid: rough-edged and vulnerable, audibly taking refuge in standards like "Night and Day," recasting familiar lyrics about romance as wrenching eulogies. This reissue adds a remix of "Night and Day" that originally appeared on the What Women Want soundtrack to the original track listing as well as new liner notes. --Douglas Wolk
