| | The Temptations - encyclopedia article about The Temptations. |
 | | The temptations of beauty are much dwelt upon, but I fancy they only bear the same relation to those of ugliness, as the temptation to excess at a feast, where the delights are varied for eye and ear as well as palate, bears to the temptations that assail the desperation of hunger. | | | The Temptations (also abbreviated as "The Tempts" or "The Temps") are an American Motown singing group whose repertoire has included doo-wop, soul, psychedelia, funk, disco, R&B, and adult contemporary. | | | The Temptations' sophisticated soul, with their tailored suits and tight choreography, set the bar for male soul and R&B groups. |

| | The Temptations of Christ : Christian Courier |
| | The temptation lay in the tendency for humanity to avoid the hard way, and for Christ the hard way was unbelievable suffering – both the physical torture for which he was marked, and the spiritual agony that he would endure in bearing the wrath of his Father because of our sins. | | | From the temptations of Christ, we realize that the devil is a liar. | | | And praise be to God, that Jesus never sinned – he never succumbed to temptation. |

| | The Temptations |
| | In the 1980s, The Temptations prevailed with smashes like the Otis Williams-penned “Treat Her Like A Lady.” Another Temptation explosion began with their appearance on Motown 25 in 1983; it continued with the NBC mini-series that chronicled the group’s history, a ratings triumph over two nights in prime time. | | | The history of The Temptations is the history of contemporary American pop. | | | Beyond the fabulous singing, The Temptations became known for smooth stepping and flawless presentations. |

| | Other homies muttered knowingly that the Temptations' "brown-eyed and handsome" man had developed a bad case of swollen ego, demanding that the group's long-standing democracy be overthrown. | | | It was, in a myriad of ways, the end of an era, for this was the lineup that had produced a welter of classic soul hits: "The Way You Do the Things You Do," "My Girl," "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," "(I Know) I'm Losing You" and numerous other black gold nuggets. | | | Even today's messengers of the "soul renaissance"--Boyz II Men, Shie, Brand New Heavies--owe little to the Temptations' classic soul. |

| | During the gilded age of soul music in general and Motown in particular, the Temptations delivered the intricate harmonies of streetcorner serenaders and the polished choreography of a Sixties soul revue. | | | This was the Temptations' classic lineup, lasting from 1964 to 1968. | | | With songs and production from some of Motown's brightest lights - most notably Smokey Robinson ("My Girl") and Norman Whitfield ("Ain't Too Proud to Beg") - the Temptations lived up to their billing as emperors of soul. |

| | The story of "Cloud Nine" illustrates the internal battle between Motown, Whitfield and the Temptations about their new image. | | | Deeply influenced by Sly Stone, Whitfield experimented with rockish arrangements, emphasized the bottom of the mix, added percussion and generally gave them a more identifiably black groove that would have been unacceptable had he not been producing hits. | | | The Temptations became the most progressive of Motown's big-name acts, but it happened against their will. |

| | But just as he was on the point of completing the "authorship," Kierkegaard managed to provoke an attack on himself by the press, which demanded further work as an author in response. | | | Kierkegaard came to think that perhaps indirect communication should be the exclusive provenance of the God-man. He came increasingly to regard his own indirection, and his love affair with language, to be demonic temptations. | | | Once his "authorship' was complete, he would retire from writing and become a country pastor ministering to the souls of simple folk. |

| | Over the next four years, Whitfield and the Temptations pioneered the concept of psychedelic soul, stretching the Motown formula to the limit, introducing a new vein of social and political comment, and utilizing many of rock's experimental production techniques to hammer home the message. | | | The Temptations were greeted as representatives of the counter-culture, a trend that climaxed when they recorded Whitfield's outspoken protest against the Vietnam War, 'Stop The War Now'. | | | The record was another major hit, and gave the Temptations their sixth RandB number 1 in three years. |

| | Known for both his years with the Temptations and his major solo hits of the 1970s, Eddie Kendricks was among the many soul legends who did his part to put Motown Records on the map. | | | Many Temptations fans questioned the wisdom of Kendricks leaving such a successful group, but Kendricks proved to be quite viable as a solo act thanks to early 1970s singles like "Keep On Truckin'" (a #1 R&B hit) and "Boogie Down" (which went to #2 on the soul charts). | | | In the years that followed, the Temptations continued touring and recording, although by the 1990s they were essentially an oldies act; only Otis Williams, who published his autobiography in 1988, remained from the original line-up. |
