       The Classic Group The Temptations has offered some of the most memorable Hits in History. They should be one of the Wonders of the World, with so many talented voices and an even stronger stage presence; as Solo Artist their members have been above par. Please take a listen here and have a peaceful day: Papa was a rolling stone , Ain't too proud to beg , Check yourself , Isn't She pretty , I'll be in trouble , Since I lost my baby , Don't look back , Beauty's only skin deep , I could never love another after loving you , Just my imagination , I wish it would rain , Ball of confusion and My Girl
