Your Favorite Lead By- Paul Williams- The Temptations?


Recommended Posts

Some seem to forget about the great voice of Paul Williams of the Temps, we mostly talk about- David, Eddie, but Paul lead most of the early tracks...which brings me to my fav from him- Slow Down Heart[1963] anyone else remember this great singer?

Hard to pick one track as a favourite as all his lead vocal tracks are superb. As a showcase for Paul's talent I'd go for Last One Out Is Brokenhearted issued on the Lost and Found CD of unissued recordings.

The YT video gives some info on the track. Also worth a listen is the extended version someone has made.

For more of Paul watch the live video of For Once In My Life from T.C.B TV special on YT.

"Once you had a heart". An unreleased track he recorded for Motown, years later released on cd. Incredibly talented guy who never fulfilled his full potential. 

This is the one Jim, all contributions to this thread are obviously brilliant, due to the brilliance of Paul as a vocalist, but "Once you had a heart" totally blows me away, every time I hear it
