Temptations’ Otis Williams Talks Music, History, and the Temps’ 60th Anniversary – The Mississippi Link

The Temptations’ Otis Williams joined BlackPressUSA for an exclusive live interview to discuss music, history and social change.

Otis Williams, the founding and only surviving original member of the legendary super-group, The Temptations, joined BlackPressUSA for an exclusive live interview to discuss music and social change.

Williams’ journey from Texarkana, Texas to Motown and global superstardom, is chronicled in his acclaimed autobiography, “Temptations,” written with The New York Times best-selling author Patricia Romanowski, as well as “The Temptations,” an Emmy Award-Winning television mini-series.

Williams is unlike any other musical artist in American culture.

“As I look back in the rear-view mirror of my life, Motown was no happenstance,” Williams stated about the famed record label responsible for the Temptations, Robinson, Marvin Gaye, and so many others.
