The Temptations were the definitive male vocal group of the 1960s, and their soulful sound still thrill audiences. Their pop and soul style, charged with funk, makes them one of the most original artists of their time. The temptations formed in 1961 in Detroit: the group was the product of a merge between the Primes and the Distants. Otis Williams, Elbridge Bryant, and Melvin Franklin of the Distants joined up with the Primes' trio comprised of Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, and Kell Osborne. They were greeted with local success early in their career. A former female counterpart of the Primes, the Primettes, later formed the world famous Supremes with Diana Ross.

Before the Temptations formed, while the Primes were still performing, Otis Williams saw them perform and was impressed by Kendricks' vocals and Paul Williams' impressive choreography. When the Primes finally disbanded in 1961 the Temptations formed soon after, and they quickly signed with a Motown Records' affiliate, Miracle; several singles were released over the next few months. Their first commercial success came in 1962 with "Dream Come True." The group hit a bump in the road in 1963 when Elbridge Bryant attacked Paul Williams and then left the band. The loss, then tragic, ended up being a great break for the boys. They replaced Bryant with David Ruffin and their luck began to change: they entered the studio with writer/producer Smokey Robinson and came out with "The Way You Do the Things You Do," a smash hit that reached the top ten on the pop charts. Robinson contributed many songs to the group, including "My Girl," which hit number one on both the pop and R&B charts. The same year "It's Growing," "Since I Lost My Baby," "Don't Look Back," and "My Baby" all reached the Top 20.
