i think PArLIAMENT FUNKADELIC is the greatest..
they were great no doubt, but not as far as chart wise & selling.
Chart-wise and sales? I think you have to give it to Boyz II Men.

I agree with you!!!!!

I love the Tempts - Eddie is my BOO!! lol I love their classic years, 1961 - 1971, although they made some songs after that that I liked.

My favorite Temptations song, though, is led by Ruffin:

 




the world will never know
But this isn't the original Tempts, where's David oh he's going get you for this from his grave and pull your big toe.

Paying homage to David so he don't hurt you.

 

The battle of the groups.

*Running like the hounds of Hell are after me...CTFU!!!!*

you gotta be kidding me.. boyz II men?---temps scored 70 top 40 r&b singles, 42 top ten, 15 number ones.    pop charts-37 top 40, 16 top ten, 4 number ones.

gold singles-million sellers

my girl

get ready

ain't too proud to beg

beauty is only skin deep

i'm losing you

i wish it would rain

cloud nine

i can't get next to you

psychedellic shack

ball of confusion

just my imagination

papa was a rolling stone

my bad, so many hits so many to choose from.  as we all know david ruffin & paul williams were the two greatest showmen out of all the temps.  don't get me wrong .i'm not taking nothing away from eddie, melvin & dennis.

david gets nuttin but props come on now.  here ya go

david ruffin at his best. 

no doubt, hate the fact that i never saw them in person.  well i did back in '91, but we all know that really don't count because the temps heyday was from '64 to '72.

i posted that clip because eddie really sings his azz off on this live rendition of get ready

plus it was basically that last performance with eddie & paul. this episode of ed sullivan aired january 31, 1971. 

  He's not kidding you.  Boyz II Men sold more records than The Temptations.  They featured on, wrote and produced bigger hits than The Temptations.  Boyz II Men have more #1's than The Temptations, and that's with 20 or so fewer albums.   LOL
   However, if you're just comparing the music, The Clark Sisters sing better than all of these dudes.
   Little Wanya Morris bodying every Temptations singer ever.....



   The unbeatable Clark Sisters!
