The Temptations chat to I Like Music
Formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1960, The Temptations have one of the longest tenures on Motown, second only to Stevie Wonder. The group, known for its recognizable choreography, distinct harmonies, and onstage suits, were as influential to soul as the Beatles were to rock and pop.

From My Girl, Papa Was a Rollin' Stone and Can I Get A Witness, to Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing, I'll Be There and Don't Leave Me This Way, they've sold over 22 million albums and had smash hits across the world.
As the band release their Classic Soul Hits best of album (WIN A COPY here), I Like Music caught up with three of The Temptations to talk about their songs, The Grammys and their own temptations in life.
"I Like Music because… there's no way I could ever imagine a world without music." TERRY, THE TEMPTATIONS

Danny: ilikemusic because... It's my life
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
Cesar Sangwa: ilikemusic because... it's there for me through thick and thin, highs and lows. I think about it when I wake up, and when I close my eyes to sleep. I like music because I'm in love with it!
Del: ilikemusic because... music is life
Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
Steff, Webmaster Musebr.com: ilikemusic because... the shows are very good, we make friends, we jump, and everybody scream so loud, and for a moment we forget all the problems of the world!
Josh Ritter: ilikemusic because... It’s like an envelope that I can carry around with me wherever I go and I can unfold the letter at anytime.
Mylo: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel funny
