I as a Temptations fan loved the movie. I think that it was the best T.V. movie I have ever seen. Leon, the actor who portrayed David Ruffin was brilliant; He has been nominated for Emmy for that role. In a brief write-up here is the movie outline and a little somthing about the movie They are rhythm and blues royalty. Possessors of a soul-stirring sound that is equal parts doo-wop, pop and hip hop. Five singers who created a sound and style that would redefine the boundaries of popular song. They are the Temptations, The Emporers of Soul, who, through various incarnations, created some of the most memorable music of the past 40 years. A multitalented young cast, led by Leon ("Oz"), Terron Brooks ("Hangin' With Mr. Cooper"), DB Woodside ("Murder One"), Christian Payton ("US Marshals") and Charles Malik Whitfield ("Touched By An Angel"), will portray the "classic" Temptations lineup of David Ruffin Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams and Otis Williams. Alan Rosenberg ("Cybil") stars as longtime Temptations manager Shelly Berger, and Obba Babatunde ("Miss Evers' Boys") also stars as Motown founder Berry Gordy. The NBC World Premier Miniseries will air Sunday, November 1 and Monday, November 2.
