In the beginning The Temptations originally started up from two of its local Detroit members and the line up changed frequently with time. The urge and spark to produce outclass music remain ignited in the group members and four Billboard Hot 100 number one singles were released over the time, while not to forget 14 Billboard R&B number one singles too. This was just the beginning as they earned Grammy Awards thrice with a couple of other Grammy Awards awarded to the producers and songwriters who gave the hit Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone in 1972. The Temptations is stated to be the only Motown act that has grabbed the prestigious Grammy Award. To be rated in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a great deal and six members of The Temptations have been honored in 1989. Three of its songs are now part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll which is surely a matter of great pride for the group.


It is not just the recognition that gives momentum to the group, rather their immense hard work and the spirit to do something beyond the ordinary that makes them unique and appealing. The Temptations has always tempted the tuneful souls with its rock beats. The Temptations create an aura for all its predecessors to follow thus making itself a unique band that always followed a decorum and a trademark elegance. The focus of The Temptations had always been on well-detailed choreography and tailored suits thus making them distinct in their own special way. The Temptations created an entirely new image of a rock vocal group which was earlier more focused on high energy acts, raw vocals and rough outlook. They made themselves look more elegant and well dressed with movements more cultured and decent thus giving an all new look to the R&B soul music.

The Temptations did not restrict themselves to any other independent company and thus did not become a member of BMI or ASCAP. They preferred handling their distribution through Mom and Pop stores and small radio stations. It is because of this that they could not have the data for Billboard charts and it is expected that the band sold Gold Records in their early records. The Temptations soon became legends for their stage performances and in depth lead singer performances. Their name knew no bounds as the word spread all across the northern and southern cities before being acknowledged as the strongest group around by the radio disc jockeys.
