According to the The Temptations Movie credits, the movie was based on a book written by Otis Williams and someone else. I do not recall her name at this time.

Otis Williams is the last orginial member of the temptations. He still proforms with the Temptations and is the writer of the book the Temtations. Paul Williams was a member of the tempations from 1961 to 1971. He left the group because of health issues.( Sickle Cell Anemia) He died on August 17th 1973.

Was paul Williams ot the temptations gay?

As a long time Temptations fan, since childhood,I can only assume that this question is being posed by " latter day Temptations fans" who base all of their so-called knowledge of the group on the TV movie. Although the movie portrays the friendship between Paul Williams and Eddie Kendricks with a highly emotional type of loyalty, it was more of the actors and directors interpretation in the movie. The movie used a lot of creative license in its character and factual depictions. Paul and Eddie were, nonetheless, loyal friends since childhood, who both came north from Birmingham, Alabama in pursuit of their musical destiny. Where is this question coming from? If people actually took the time to read Otis Williams book, or any other Motown biographies, then they would be more informed before asking certain questions about the Temptations. From Paul Williams struggle with alcoholism, to bashing Otis Williams to crediting Eddie's early songs to Elkridge Bryant, many have made assumptions about the Temps' history. I'm not here to judge but so many people have argued and debated over various group topics without knowing the true facts. Many don't know that Paul's real reason for leaving the group was due to sickle cell anemia, which caused him extreme physical pain, and fatigue, which he would combat with alcohol. He, ultimately, left the group on doctor's orders in 1971, but remained on the payroll as choreographer and consultant. While a member of the Temptations, Paul Williams was married with five children. He also had a sixth child out of wedlock. At the time of his death, he was also involved with a mistress, the cousin of Supremes singer, Florence Ballard, who had been having an affair with for several years. Their relationship caused a strain on his marriage, and Paul was torn between his wife and his mistress. The night of Paul's death, he reportedly left his mistress' home after a heated argument and was found dead a short while later of an alleged self-inflicted gunshot wound. Forensic evidence points to foul play but no police investigation was ever conducted. Paul was said to have a weakness for beautiful women. Eddie Kendricks was also married with children in the late '60s, while with the group, but the movie never makes mention of this fact. Both guys also had their share of romantic involvement with female artists at Motown, namely Supremes members, Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Flo Ballard at different times. All one has to do is research the wealth of Motown artist bios.. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
