I don't know if anyone mentioned this but many of the people you were introduced to in the first part were all major Motown artists. The Supremes = Diana Ross and the Supremes. Mary Wells, Martha Reeves, and Tammi Terrel were huge. Eddie Kendrick's "Keep on Truckin" is the sample used for Light's Camera Action song by Mr. Cheeks.

2025-02-01 00:22:08 +0000 UTCBlue and Eddie may have been the only ones at the gravesite of Paul, but that's probably because they stayed after the burial service. The man that sung at Blue's burial service was Smokey Robinson.

2025-01-08 20:41:14 +0000 UTCThere’s a Broadway show that’s 🔥🔥🔥. It would be a great anniversary date for y’all. You really don’t realize how many classic songs they have. Some of the greatest voices ever in American music. And with the holidays passing I know y’all heard Silent Night…that’s a Black holiday staple.

2025-01-08 10:15:44 +0000 UTCChronic illness/chronic pain can mess you up mentally and emotionally in the worst way. It can cause you to end your life even if you aren’t an alcoholic or on drugs. Ironically it can easily cause you to be an alcoholic or addict. Chronic illness/pain is an awful monster.

2025-01-08 08:35:47 +0000 UTCIt’s crazy how they kept trying to throw “temptations forever” in Otis’ face when they are the ones who decided to break that bond/pact. Otis didn’t break it, they did. Otis said “temptations forever” and meant it. He always put the group first and did everything he could at all times to make sure the group continued on. They are the ones who didn’t. (Obviously I’m basing that on this movie but this movie is all I have to go on.)

2025-01-08 08:30:46 +0000 UTCThis is also Otis version of the story because everyone else was dead by the time they made the movie

2025-01-08 05:00:56 +0000 UTCHave yall ever watch the TLC group movie
Scottie
2025-01-08 04:55:34 +0000 UTCOtis actually still performing currently as the only surviving member of the temptations and they have a Broadway show that came out about them that’s good too it even won Tony awards

2025-01-08 03:46:22 +0000 UTCMichael Jackson paid for David Ruffin’s funeral. That’s the real Smokey Robinson singing at Blue’s funeral.

2025-01-08 03:14:05 +0000 UTCDavid passed from an overdose. Robert Townsend ( Duck from The five heartbeats) and Keenan Wayans planned to put him in rehab once the got the 5 heartbeats movie green lit but he died before they could. Paul had sickle cell and possibly started drinking to cope with that. Blue passed in a hospital from complications after having a seizure due to his health issues but they didn’t want to depict it in the movie cause it was so fresh.

2025-01-08 02:48:43 +0000 UTCThey are like a half second ahead of what’s showing on screen

2025-01-08 02:37:53 +0000 UTCDavid and Eddie were very close. The reason Eddie left the group was because Paul was dealing with his stuff and then when Paul died that gave him enough push to leave the group because he didn’t like the musical the direction the group was going. In the case of Paul he suffered from Sickle Cell Anemia which made him very weak at times to the point where he couldn’t perform, he would abuse alcohol to mask the pain he was feeling. So that’s the real reason he was a drunk later in life. But back to David and Eddie. They were very close and did an album together after Eddie left the Temps. And also forming with Dennis Edwards another form of the temptations. Another thing, Dennis Edwards the new lead singer and David Ruffin were best friends their whole life, and David did indeed try to take his spot from Dennis, to no avail. Dennis wasn’t too bothered by it and they remained best friends until David died. Also Dennis Edwards was better than David Ruffin in terms of less trouble but he himself abused drugs and alcohol and would miss rehearsals aswell😂. So he was David Ruffin .5 Richard Street was the guy who replaced Paul and he was in the original Otis Williams in the Distants. In Part 1. He was the really tall one. He was a very good singer. You can hear him singing on Papa Was Rolling Stone on the 2nd verse.

2025-01-08 02:36:33 +0000 UTCThe movies Otis mentioned Barry Gordy was doing is The Last Dragon and Lady Sings the Blues, which is a Billie Holiday biopic starring Diana Ross, Billie Dee Williams, and Richard Pryor. Both classics. Although Paul started drinking due to pre existing health conditions, alcohol can cause all kinds of serious medical conditions, some debilitating. For instance, Al died at 36yrs old, of Cirrhosis of the liver. Plus, some people have an addictive personality and don’t discover it until it’s too late.

2025-01-08 02:25:00 +0000 UTCI’m lowkey geeking for the Jackson’s reaction ! My favorite biopic & the casting is amazing 😅 & yeah it shows them in their 20’s & Michael’s solo career up to Thriller 💪🏽
Jojo
2025-01-08 02:13:44 +0000 UTCThe guy singing at the funeral at the end. Was the actual “Smokey Robinson” who wrote some of their biggest hits.
Honestly41
2025-01-08 01:51:52 +0000 UTCUnpopular opinion: I always felt like the group were good when they brought Dennis in maybe it's because they entered the 70s decade which means the production and everything else evolved
Laquintin Belser
2025-01-08 01:51:31 +0000 UTCIt’s funny how you guys subconsciously realize you know most of their music once you start to listen to them.
Honestly41
2025-01-08 01:50:47 +0000 UTCFor some reason I always felt like new edition and temptations were tied in together they literally had the same issues 😂 nah fr tho those are my top 2 groups of all time ..great reaction as always
Laquintin Belser
2025-01-08 01:49:37 +0000 UTC1 thing about it… David voice was BEAUTIFUL & he was cocky cuz he KNEW 😂💯 That man sung DOWN
Ky Drea

Jay
2025-01-08 01:37:31 +0000 UTCI need y’all to start remembering names too 😂😂
Jojo
2025-01-08 01:31:11 +0000 UTCPaul had sickle cell disease .. that’s why he started to drink to help cope with the pain .. I’m not sure why it wasn’t showed in the series but he was definitely the fan favorite of the group .. he brought the style & dancing to them 💪🏽
Jojo
2025-01-08 01:24:45 +0000 UTCFun fact Otis Williams is still alive and performing with a new group of Temptations
A Will 4 Real
2025-01-08 00:48:48 +0000 UTCThe movie starts when their kids and even goes into when they're adults. Yes, including Michael making his solo hits
mondawmin mall
2025-01-08 00:35:11 +0000 UTCOh yeah y'all gon love the Jacksons an American dream
mondawmin mall
2025-01-08 00:34:30 +0000 UTCAnd Otis is still alive to this day and David died from an overdose and was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Apparently he was last seen at the crackhouse before he died.

2025-01-08 00:33:00 +0000 UTCThe guy singing at the funeral was actually Smokey Robinson… but waiting patiently on The Pursuit Happiness…
Bishup1887
2025-01-08 00:31:35 +0000 UTCWhat happened to Paul was sad. But he was an adult, to look after him for 24/7 isn't fair to any of them especially when they had their own families to take care of. Going to rehab would've been a better option if he was willing to go to one.
Monica
2025-01-08 00:23:55 +0000 UTCCan we get The New Edition Story
Mykira Hilt
2025-01-08 00:17:15 +0000 UTCOne of the best biopics ever. I remember watching this in real time when it aired on CBS back in the day. the ratings were through the roof
Taurean Reign
2025-01-08 00:06:53 +0000 UTCThe guy who replaced Paul was one of the original members from the very beginning of the movie. He looked different because he had an afro.

2025-01-07 23:55:01 +0000 UTCThey had a lot of bangers fashion

Cynthia Hogan
2025-01-07 23:43:02 +0000 UTCIs it just me or is the movie not in sync with the reaction
Tre
2025-01-07 23:26:52 +0000 UTCPaul had sickle cell anemia and was also using drinking to mask the pain but they didn’t show that in here
Shereese Murphy
2025-01-07 23:18:59 +0000 UTCWhat they didn’t tell in the movie is that Paul had sickle cell and was drinking to deal with the pain
takendria ivy
2025-01-07 23:14:19 +0000 UTCDavid was definitely the best, just had an ego!
Alfred
2025-01-07 23:10:55 +0000 UTCThis movie is excellent and the Temptations was more than friends they were brothers in arms
