The Original Leads of the Temptations (1992)

"From the sing-along chorus of "My Girl" to the feel-good beat of "The Way You Do the Things You Do," we are right there reliving the '60s when the elegant, smooth-stepping Temptations dominated the charts, airwaves and hearts of a young America.

Using intimate street corner interviews and exclusive concert footage, director David Tucker re-acquaints us with one our finest musical treasures. Host Arthel Neville (of the musical Neville Brothers' family) gives fans a chance to enact a sing-along fantasy by dancing and singing with the Temptations. The video chronicles what turned out to be the final tour of the original leads of the Temptations: Ruffin, Kendrick and Dennis Edwards.

In 1990 Ruffin, Kendrick and Edwards were making plans for a comeback despite obstacles such as lack of recognition, financial difficulties and copyright disputes.

One year later, Ruffin would lose the ultimate battle to drugs. Afterward, Kendrick would lose his long battle with lung cancer, leaving Edwards as the only original lead singer of the Temptations." - Chicago Tribune
