Legendary Motown R&B and vocal super-group the Temptations perform for three nights at the Tropicana in support of their new album 'Legacy' September 19-21.
Legacy is as cutting-edge as tomorrow. As vital as today. As soul-satisfying as yesterday. Legacy is the brilliant new release from the Temptations, the project being called "a high point in the remarkable career of America's premier super-group." In their fifth decade, the Temps bring new freshness and fire to the world of contemporary urban music. Legacy is a non-stop suite of red-hot hits, a bright new mix of sounds, grooves and, above all, soaring voices. Legacy is all about voices. Voices to live by. Voices to love by. Voices to dance to. Voices to convey the grit and grace, the rhythm and romance of modern R&B.
"I love this Legacy," says Otis Williams, the creative force behind the Temps' perpetual relevance and reinvention. "We found the right songs and the right producers--Benjamin Wright, Steve "The Scotsman" Harvey, Daniel Weatherspoon-who channeled our energy while maximizing our power. This is my 40th year as a Temptation, and I've never heard our blend of voices sound so smooth and exciting. "Terry Weeks and Ron Tyson, our long-time lead vocalists, are joined by the legendary G.C. Cameron, formerly of the Spinners. The result is thrilling. With the addition of Joe Herndon, one of the best basses in the business, our new lineup is absolutely bullet-proof. We're singing with more fire power than ever. That's the power of Legacy." "Otis Williams is a natural visionary," says Herndon, "the quiet force that leads the background. He incorporates that old-school Motown genius for competitive creativity while keeping the sound current. Otis is the glue." "Singing with the Temps is singing at the very top of the food chain," says Cameron. "And to kick off my association on Legacy with material this strong is more than an honor. It's a blessing."
