Eddie had just passed away at the time this was taped. RIP to all of the lost Tempts.

Ali Ollie voice just touches you ❤️

Normally I hate when Ruffin led Temptations songs are performed but Oli-Ali Woodson really performed "I Wish It Would Rain" with such power, grace, feeling and meaning.

The Tempts didn't just sing....they sang!!!

Ollie Woodson was a "bad man". That brother was hell of a lead singer.

Imagine what the audition to sing for the Temptations is like. Their voices are so pure. They are the Number One group ever. Otis and Ron Tyson are still alive.

Sing Ali!!!! He kills I wish it would rain!!!

The Temps has great leaders All of them were great!

Ali was the one. Damn that voice was heaven sent.

I started crying when they did the tribute to Paul, Eddie (both from my home State Alabama) and David 💔RIP to all of them 😞

He was so incredible

He killed this jam

Ollie Woods was indeed THE man! He kills everything he sings! My favorite lead singer among them all!!!

We will never ever see such talent again. GOD knew exactly where he wanted them to be placed.

Ali Ollie, Ali Ollie!!!! I just love his voice!!! RIP but will NEVER be forgotten! Richard Street, Melvin Franklin..all greats!!

Rest Well to all who have go on💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 Temptation fan for life.....

Damn…. I left it alone for a while, however every time I come back to listen to this Man, it’s so inspirational. God Bless your soul Ali. “ I wish it would Rain “. What a Gifted Brother

This is a masterpiece

Ollie was a beast!!

Ollie Voice ! Awesome . I Love The Temptation , Treat Like A Lady!

Ali was just amazing lead singer with the Temptations. He will always be my favorite.

Ollie put S in soul!

Ollie was the man.

They went to church on these songs ...yes they did I LOVE IT

Lawd hammurcy! They killed. Pure magic!

Ollie just wore me out! Thank you Mr Woodson, thank you!

This is the 2nd best Temptation lineup,right behind the OG's ! Ollie is an AWESOME lead singer ! He has soul and church wrapped up into one AWESOME voice. POWERFUL and CHILLING ! R.I.P. OLLIE !

You can't beat The Temptations. Many groups have tried to top them, but everybody has failed.

Profiles in Pittsburgh Happy that Temptation sang My Girl to Whoopi Goldberg. Brother dr. Otis Williams is truly a fine vocalist and gentlemen. I'm so glad Whoopi has been with him always showing The Temptations and now I Ain't Too Proud to Beg Musical on Broadway. Love you will be and love you brother Otis. Hallelujah

Next to David, Ali was the best Temp lead singer. I’m his own way, he was just as good as Ruffin. I just wish there were more recordings of Ali. He should have been so much bigger. One of the greatest Soul singers ever.

You better sing Ali. Love me Ollie Woodson! Rest Well Love💔

The temps had great lead singers. Alli, Paul, Dennis, and David were my favourites, but all of the temps were fantastic vocal artists.

THE GOATS!!!!!!

He was a icon

What would we do if Motown never happened I totally think we Wouldn’t have all the memories we have because of them . Thank you for so much good times.

This was the best line-up of Temptations.

Ali was a bad man!!! That man could sing.

Richard Street is soooo handsome... Love me some him...❤❤❤❤

Damn Ollie sound so good!

He was extraordinary

I heard him singing a peabo song in an Atlanta night club on campbelton rd. back in the day just before joining the temps. What a talent!!!

He was the empress of soul

Profiles in Pittsburgh Great Evening with The Whoopi Goldberg Show😊 Guest The Temptations🤗 Brother Otis Williams Sings , MY GIRL right into her Charming Face. Ollie Woodson sings out Whoopi , directly to her Smiling Face. This song is now #1 (5 star) forever with the Four Temptations and Otis Williams founder of The Temptations. This could have been on Broadway back in 1992. It is a great performance of our wonderful comedian Whoopi Goldberg playing a sweet naive young lady, enchant it by The Temptations Amen🙏🏾✌️😘🙏🏾.

He was so smooth

I love all the temptation and their songs

The Temps' were so good, they sounded the same whether live or recorded. Ooth and so much more.

This was my 2nd favorite Temptations lineup, Otis, Melvin, Ali Ollie, Richard Street, and Ron Tyson

OH! For the good ole days...These wonderful gentlemen sang baby the sang...What gets better than them, than they...oh my lawd!

David had pure showmanship! I'll keep saying this MY GIRL the greatest song ever written!

He was the man

killed it!!

These songs bring back feelings and memories that are so precious and indescribable. Reminds me of being a little kid growing up on Willoughby Ave in Bedford Stuyvesant. Born in 1969 just when some of these songs were out or coming out. It was a tough area during that time but still there was something wonderful about it at the same time. It is incredible what the sound of music can do to the mind and body.

Really sad looking at this Temptations line up and knowing that only two of them are still alive

Now these are The Temptations that I grew up with. I didn't know about the originals until much later...lol

As long as there's Christmas you'll here Ron Tyson voice he killed silent night timeless record 👍

Oh I miss this. I love it

Ollie is the closest sounding to both David AND Dennis perfect mix between the two and on, “I Wish it Would Rain.” Ron sounds very close to Eddie. One of the only times, when Ron does solo stuff it’s different though.

Wow whoppi was getting that money I didn't know she had a show

What nice dedicated concert :-)

It's official The Tempts and Take 6 are baddest vocal groups ever!!!

Whoopi is my girl! And the Temptations were good! Old group up to the new. I believe they all are gone now. Lord I would sure love to be in that heavenly choir when my time is up.😄

I had the pleasure of meeting them when they came in a restaurant I work

Ilove this jam

beautiful!

Ali a perfect replacement for David and Dennis

Ollie is dat dude.

I remember when they first appeared at the Apollo theater. They were top notch. At that time you saw about 7 acts in a show.

He was so fierce

Rest in Peace Ollie !!!!

Ali- is great...... Salute to Mr.ruffin and Mr. Kendricks. U to r gone but not 4gotten

Ollie was the 2nd best lead singer after David! Underrated singer!

Angels singing

My personal best temp lineup.

amazing..

My favorite of all

Ali Ollie Woodson had soul and voice ...my favourite singer after David Ruffin. God bless his soul.

Amazing

I adored Melvin

OTIS HAS A VERY SOOTHING VOICE

It's funny that Ollie & David looked a bit the similar especially Ollie in "Treat her like a lady"" . He was just an amazing singer. It's jst sad. R.I.P Ollie❤❤❤❤

Ali rest in peace

OMG I truly enjoyed this had to share

I feel almost blasphemous for saying this, but I think that Ollie might be my second favorite lead singer for the Temptations. I might have to put him above both Dennis and Paul, although I love them both. David Ruffin was on another level though. He had a "realness" that just can't be equaled. Seems like everybody else was "performing" except David Ruffin. But as good as it was, the Temps music with Ollie unfortunately wasn't nearly as iconic, but Ollie was absolutely incredible.

Thank you for the memories

Ollie was AWESOME

ELA CONTINUA GLORIOSA .ELES MAIS AFINADOS E ENCANTADORES . LINDOS!

They sanging... but them piano players are PLAYING!!

Had the honor of seeing them at the Latin Casino in the early 70's. Unfortunately it was the first series of concert tours after Eddie left. "Just My Imagination" was hot on the charts and the crowd was wondering how they were qonna handle this situation. Dennis led and surprisingly put on a standing ovation performance. Felt real good about being there that night !!

Alright fellas. Love Oli holding it down on I Wish...

While all leads for the Tempts were unique and brought something, After David I think Ollie was it..don't get it twisted, Dennis was right there.....they are just the best ever..through all times

the best of the best,

Ollie was after the originals but him in David would have bumped heads if they started together. Ain't nobody like them both.its hard to pick between the two ✌

I wonder if this was Richard's last or one of his last performances with them.

Greatness

maaaaan, LazyJunco, thanks for postin' this video! I'd never seen this before today, but sure glad I happened across it, now...a true treasure, a jewel, captured just so in time and beauty. Thank you so much.

Whoopi did "Richard Pryor Mudbone" for just a second... Respect. Annnd I'll be in trouble if Ollie didn't resemble a young David Ruffin in '64 singing My Girl... Real Temps fans know what I'm talking about

OLLIE WOODSONr.i.p.A Young Man who grew up just like Myself and Actor LEON Imagining what it would be like To Be MR.DAVID RUFFINr.i.p.Love&Peace😁😎luv ya byo eJ

Eddie Kendricks: Grace David Ruffin: Unique Paul Williams: Soul Dennis Edwards: Spirit Melvin Franklin: Love

just the way you said it, too! and it kills me to say that, 'cause David purely broke my heart on it EV-ER-REE time, made me bawl like a baby (and still does, here in y/t videos) .....but when you're right, you're right. Ali went straight to the sho' nuff stuff, here on this one. I think everybody was open at this sad time and the Spirit just showed up and, man, Ali brought it!
