Meet The Temptations

They have previously garnered eighteen number one hits on various charts over the years, and Rolling Stone has ranked them sixty-eighth on their 100 Greatest Artists of All Time list.

The Temptations have received several Grammy Awards, and in 2013 were awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
