Temptations rock Leede audience
By Arika Easley | April 28, 1997Leede Arena was packed on Saturday with parents and students who came to see Motown legends, The Temptations, as part of the Freshmen Parents' Weekend festivities. People of various age groups were able to sing along to all of the classic Temptations' songs, and to admire their famous dance routines. Fashion has changed since 1965 -- no more tight, brightly colored suits, "permed" hairdos or thick cat-eyed glasses. Wearing loosely fitted, pastel pink suits, The Temptations have transcended not only their style of dress, visually illustrating the stylistic changes in their music. The group who performed on Saturday consisted of a Music Hall of Fame inductee, the legendary Otis Williams, newcomer Terry Weaks and Harry Barry, Ron Tyson, and Theo Peoples, who have been in the group for several years. Williams spoke during the concert about his experiences in the group for 37 years.
