New Release: The Temptations DVD

RHI Entertainment and Vivendi Entertainment released the acclaimed 1998 TV mini-series The Temptations on DVD on Jan. 11, 2011, for the suggested retail price of $14.93.

Timed to the golden anniversary of the famed Motown singers, The Temptations follows the group from their humble beginnings to their sensational climb to the top of the charts.

Told from the perspective of Otis Williams, the last surviving member of the group, the 2½-hour biography series traces the group’s journey through five decades of successes and heartbreaks, triumphs and tragedies.

Nominated for six Emmy Awards, including a win for Outstanding Directing for a Miniseries or a Movie (1999), The Temptations stars Charles Malik Whitfield (Notorious), D.B. Woodside (TV’s 24), Leon (Waiting to Exhale), Obba Babatundé (Black Dynamite), Jenifer Lewis (TV’s Meet the Browns) and Vanessa Bell Calloway (TV’s Hawthorne), and was directed by Allan Arkush (Rock ‘n’ Roll High School).

The DVD also includes five free music downloads from a catalog of Temptations hits and other Motown songs.
