Otis Williams

“Change is inevitable, especially in a group that's been around for over 50 years.”

“I'm just a country boy from Texarkana, Texas, who was blessed to be able to sing.”

“The Temptations are a legacy, and I'm the guardian of that legacy.”

“It's not about the individuals, it's about the group sound.”

“Motown was a family. We were all brothers and sisters.”

“The Temptations are bigger than any one member.”

“You have to respect the stage. It's a sacred place.”

“The music is what has sustained us for all these years.”

“We're entertainers. Our job is to make people forget their troubles for a little while.”

“I never dreamed we would be around this long. It's a blessing.”

“We were five country boys who wanted to sing. We just happened to be at the right place at the right time.”

“When you're in a group, you have to learn to compromise.”

“I’ve always said, ‘Man cannot live by bread alone. He must have some Temptations.’”

“Longevity is the key. You have to be able to stand the test of time.”

“We've always been known for our choreography, our sharp suits, and our harmony.”

“You have to be disciplined in this business. It's not all glamour.”

“The fans are the ones who have kept us going. Without them, there would be no Temptations.”
