The Temptations

As of my last update, Christian Payton, who portrayed Paul Williams in the movie "The Temptations," has continued to work in the entertainment industry, focusing on acting and music. He has appeared in various television shows and films since the release of "The Temptations" in 1998. Additionally, he has maintained a presence in theater and has been involved in different projects, although specific recent updates may not be available. For the latest information, checking his social media or entertainment news sources would be helpful.

Yes, Otis Williams, the founding member of The Temptations, has children. He has a son named Otis III and a daughter named LaToya. Throughout his life, he has maintained a relationship with his family while pursuing his music career.

The song played on "The Bernie Mac Show" during the hospital scene for the son's dislocated shoulder was "My Girl" by The Temptations. The song evokes feelings of nostalgia and joy, contrasting the stressful situation in the hospital. It underscores the importance of family memories and love during challenging times.

Ali Ollie Woodson was fired from The Temptations in 1986 primarily due to conflicts with management and personal issues, including his struggles with substance abuse. His dismissal came after tensions within the group escalated, leading to a decision by the band's management to part ways with him. Despite his talent and contributions, these challenges ultimately affected his position in the iconic Motown group.

The lead vocals for the Temptations song "Precious Love" were sung by Eddie Kendricks. The track, released in 1966, showcases Kendricks' smooth falsetto, which was a signature element of the group's sound during that era. The song is known for its romantic lyrics and melodic arrangement, characteristic of the Temptations' style.

Yes, Flynn is a real character in "The Temptations," a miniseries based on the life and career of the Motown group The Temptations. He is portrayed as a fictionalized version of the group's manager, who plays a significant role in their rise to fame and the challenges they face. The miniseries blends real events and figures with dramatized elements, so while Flynn is not a historical figure, he represents the complexities of management and relationships within the music industry during that era.

Jelani Winston played young Smokey Robinson in the 1998 TV miniseries "The Temptations." Jelani Winston is an actor known for his work in television and film. He portrayed the iconic singer and songwriter Smokey Robinson during his early years in the music industry.

Oh, dude, the original members of The Temptations are like ancient history now. They formed back in the 1960s, so if they were still around today, they'd be like in their 70s or 80s. But hey, their music is timeless, so who cares about their age, right?

As a long time Temptations fan, since childhood,I can only assume that this question is being posed by " latter day Temptations fans" who base all of their so-called knowledge of the group on the TV movie. Although the movie portrays the friendship between Paul Williams and Eddie Kendricks with a highly emotional type of loyalty, it was more of the actors and directors interpretation in the movie. The movie used a lot of creative license in its character and factual depictions. Paul and Eddie were, nonetheless, loyal friends since childhood, who both came north from Birmingham, Alabama in pursuit of their musical destiny. Where is this question coming from? If people actually took the time to read Otis Williams book, or any other Motown biographies, then they would be more informed before asking certain questions about the Temptations. From Paul Williams struggle with alcoholism, to bashing Otis Williams to crediting Eddie's early songs to Elkridge Bryant, many have made assumptions about the Temps' history. I'm not here to judge but so many people have argued and debated over various group topics without knowing the true facts. Many don't know that Paul's real reason for leaving the group was due to sickle cell anemia, which caused him extreme physical pain, and fatigue, which he would combat with alcohol. He, ultimately, left the group on doctor's orders in 1971, but remained on the payroll as choreographer and consultant. While a member of the Temptations, Paul Williams was married with five children. He also had a sixth child out of wedlock. At the time of his death, he was also involved with a mistress, the cousin of Supremes singer, Florence Ballard, who had been having an affair with for several years. Their relationship caused a strain on his marriage, and Paul was torn between his wife and his mistress. The night of Paul's death, he reportedly left his mistress' home after a heated argument and was found dead a short while later of an alleged self-inflicted gunshot wound. Forensic evidence points to foul play but no police investigation was ever conducted. Paul was said to have a weakness for beautiful women. Eddie Kendricks was also married with children in the late '60s, while with the group, but the movie never makes mention of this fact. Both guys also had their share of romantic involvement with female artists at Motown, namely Supremes members, Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Flo Ballard at different times. All one has to do is research the wealth of Motown artist bios.. Check it Out! Ciao!!!

Oh, dude, like, Paul from the temptations? I mean, we can't really know for sure about someone's sexuality from way back when, you know? It's not like they had Instagram back then to update their relationship status. But hey, if Paul was gay, more power to him! Love is love, man.

Well, honey, Ann Cain, the former wife of Otis Williams from The Temptations, is probably living her best life somewhere that's none of our business. Maybe she's sipping martinis on a beach, who knows? As long as she's happy and not causing any drama, that's all that matters.

Paul Williams shot himself in the head, August 17th 1973.

Correction:

There were three main lead singers of The Temptations:

1st Lead Singer, Eddie Kendrick(s)--died of lung cancer in 1992

2nd Lead Singer, replacing Elbridge "Al" Bryant, David Ruffin--died of cocaine overdose in 1991

3rd Lead Singer, replacing Paul Williams, Dennis Edwards--still alive as of 3/05/2011

Otis Williams, who formed the Temptations, was never considered a lead singer. Paul Williams, an original member, also was not a lead singer. Eddie Kendrick was Paul's best friend and was offered the lead singer role. His condition in joining the group, then known as the Elgins, was to have Paul as a member of the group, as well.

There were other lead singers that came in and out of the group, including Richard Street, who had been with the Distants before joining the Monitors.

The "Classic 5" known Temptations are Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendrick, Paul Williams and David Ruffin. Dennis Edwards became lead singer only after Eddie Kendrick's departure.

According to "Scotland: A Concise History" by James Halliday, Mary would have succeeded James II, but James had another son in 1688 described as "unexpected and inopportune". So William of Orange (ruler of Holland) was invited by the English to come and bring James into obedience. He did and ran James into exile. After some confusion the English parliament conferred the joint (England and Scotland) crown upon William and Mary. Simply put, William and Mary were married. They were also cousins, William being the son of Charles II's sister, Mary, who married William II of Orange. Thus William also had a claim to the English and Scottish throne (I believe he was right after Mary and Anne). However, William did not want to be king through Mary's grace, but through his own (He did not want to be tied to Mary's strings) and he also wanted to remain king if Mary predeceased him (which she did). These were the conditions of his acceptance of the English and Scottish throne.
