Mr. Williams takes the reader on a personalized tour of his world during the early years of Motown as a Temptation. His interactions with his group peers coupled with the trials, tribulations they each endured are highlighted in this book. The group's dedication to each other seems to be as melodic as their individual voices that meld into delicious harmony on every song. The Temptations were icons to young black boys who dreamed. Other male singing groups tried, quite unsuccessfully in my opinion, to attempt to emulate the style, the moves, the vocal harmony of the Temptations. Otis' story is unique and the most real biography of part of the history of the greatest male group in Motown history, the Temptations. It is indeed a pleasure to have had the opportunity to relish reading this book!
