For the first time on DVD, this collection offers the Temptations' very best Ed Sullivan Show performances. Included here is the group's very first appearance in May 1967, in which they performed a medley of hits including "My Girl" and "(I Know) I'm Losing You." Other songs featured are the group's No. 1 hit "I Can't Get Next to You," a playful version of "You've Made Me So Very Happy," the Top Ten hit "Psychedelic Shack," and the 1969 hit single "Runaway Child, Running Wild" with Dennis Edwards replacing David Ruffin. The Temptations' last performance on The Ed Sullivan Show (1971) is also included, broadcast just a few months before the show went off the air, in which they performed "Get Ready" and their No. 1 hit "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)."

The closest thing currently available to the Tempts' first Greatest Hits album, this CD actually provides partial redemption for the generally redundant Millennium Collection series. Sticking with one exception (the ambiguous drug song "Cloud Nine") to the group's '60s love songs, it's a quick reminder of what made them such a major part of radio-listening romancers' lives then and now. From the sweet "My Girl" and "The Way You Do the Things You Do" to the rough-edged, nearly paranoid "(I Know) I'm Losing You," these hits demonstrate the many ways Motown knew to say "I love you." --Rickey Wright
For the first time ever, on the occasion of the group's 50th anniversary, every single from the legendary Temptations lineup through 1971 is now in one package. This 3-CD box set features every A- and B- side, from the Temptations very beginning to the moment original members Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams left the group.
Housed in packaging similar to the acclaimed series The Complete Motown Singles,this box set is accompanied by a booklet filled with detailed information about each single, reproductions of spectacular-looking picture sleeves from around the world, and classic and rare photos of the world's greatest male vocal group of all time.
Included in this box set are the group's 13 No. 1 Pop and R&B hits, from "The Way You Do The Things You Do" to "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)," and the smashes in-between--the iconic "My Girl," "Get Ready," "Ain't Too Proud To Beg," the controversial "Ball Of Confusion (That's The World Is Today)," "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," a duet with the Diana Ross & the Supremes. With these hits the Temptations broke down social barriers and became cultural icons.
Because it's "Complete," the beautifully packaged 3-CD box set also includes the early material, when the "Tempts" were struggling to hang in as Motown grew more and more successful. Among the early rarities is their debut single, "Oh Mother Of Mine," which was never on an LP; a stab at novelty on the short-lived Mel-o-dy label, where the Tempts moonlighted as "the Pirates"; and the local hit "I Want A Love I Can See." Also included: rare German and Italian versions of "My Girl" and more.
