The Temptations in London

The Temptations are an American soul and R&B vocal group formed in Detroit in 1960. After signing to Motown, they became known for layered harmonies, synchronized choreography and songs including “My Girl,” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)” and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.” The 1964 T.A.M.I. Show at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium captured their coordinated performance style on film, and the following year they joined the Motortown Revue tour of the UK. In 1982, David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks returned for the Reunion album and its supporting tour. Later co-headlining tours paired The Temptations with the Four Tops.
