An iconic R&B and soul vocal group, The Temptations have been on the music scene for more than 50 years. The Primes and The Distants were early incarnations of the band, before various members came together in Detroit with an offer from Berry Gordy of Motown Records. Beginning their musical life in the early '60s, it was "The Way You Do the Things You Do," a Smokey Robinson written-and-produced song, that turned The Temptations into stars in 1964. An avalanche of hits followed. Through the years, members have changed but always stayed true to the band's smooth-sounding and smooth-stepping tradition. The classic lineup of The Temptations was Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin. Today, Williams is the only surviving original member, but the band still prospers and can be seen regularly on tour in places like Las Vegas. In 2010, the group released their 49th album, "The Temptations: Still Here."
