There was no better place to start than “Get Ready,” which swung and grooved with the help of a five-piece core band and ten additional horn players, who basically picked up where The Motor City’s superstar session musicians The Funk Brothers left off.

The soulful pop, doo-wop and psychedelic rock quintet is currently comprised of sole survivor Otis Williams, alongside Ron Tyson for nearly four decades, Terry Weeks since 1997, plus newer recruits Tony Grant and Willie Green, who was absent without an explanation, other than “even though we’re a man short…the band plays on.”Īnd that’s exactly what The Temptations did like clockwork, bringing tons of golden oldies and even a new debut from the aptly titled “60” album, sounding and looking superb thanks to tight harmonies, sharp suits and all those signature dance steps. Motown lovers throughout the entire Midwest region hit the jackpot when The Venue At Horseshoe Casino threw a 60th birthday bash for The Temptations, one of the most iconic and longest-running acts of any genre that ever existed.
