The Temptations and The Four Tops
Wisconsin State Fair Park - Main Stage 640 S. 84th St. Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53214
It would take a lot of ink to list all of The Temptations’ top 10 hits, since they scored an incredible 37 of them, including soul classics like “My Girl,” “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone,” “Just My Imagination (Runnin’ Away With Me)” and “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me.” One of the most influential R&B acts of all time, the legendary Detroit band was one of the cornerstones of Motown during the label’s prime, and the first of many Motown acts to claim a Grammy.
They’ve also proven remarkably resilient. Even as their lineup has turned over as members have aged out of the group or passed on (singer Dennis Edwards died this year at age 74), the band is still led by its last original member, Otis Williams. This year they released their first album in eight years, a covers-heavy set called All The Time that features the band’s spin on staples by contemporary artists like Sam Smith, Bruno Mars, Maxwell and The Weeknd, as well as three new originals.
The Temptations share this show with another one of Detroit’s formative R&B groups, The Four Tops, the band behind oldies staples like “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)” and “Reach Out I’ll Be There.” (Evan Rytlewski)
