The Temptations chat to I Like Music


TERRY: On that day. And that was the first line of the song, "It was the third of September. That day I'll always remember, yes I will. 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died." So he had a problem with singing that song.

ILM: You've sold over 22 million albums, The Temptations are one of the most successful groups in music history and were the definitive male vocal group of the 1960s. Please describe The Temptations process of making such fine music? Does it tend to be melody first or lyrics or is it always just random/different?

JOE: The Temptations had a lot of songs by different writers. You have to have good songs. All songs sung by The Temptations are very clean songs which has a lot to do with the longevity of the music. I call it 'safe' or 'family' songs, because the lyrics can be sung by anyone. The lyrics in a song can be the determining factor about whether a song is even going to be sung by The Temptations
