The band joins us from their Los Angeles studio
The Grammy Award-winning Temptations are celebrating their 60th anniversary with a yearlong celebration that includes the release of their long-awaited Temptations 60 album. The new 12-song project consists of nearly all-original songs that are both modern and classic in feel and sound. In addition to tracks produced by group members, the album brings the iconic group together again with some of its beloved producers, including the legendary and award-winning Smokey Robinson and Narada Michael Walden.
This summer, the legendary “My Girl” singers will hit the road for a 60th anniversary tour that will see them hit the United States and abroad before year’s end. Tour dates are forthcoming, but they assure us families of all ages will be able to see them “movin’ and groovin'” to their classic R&B sound.
During the 20-minute video discussion from their Los Angeles rehearsal studio, the band talks to us about their new album, forthcoming tour, legacy, and the success of their Broadway musical, Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations, based on Otis Williams’s personal journey. The show recently wrapped its Broadway run after having been nominated for 12 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and winning the Tony Award for Best Choreography at the 73rd Tony Awards ceremony in June 2019. The show is currently on tour throughout the United States with dates lined up through the end of 2022.
