The Temptations

The Temptations

The Temptations (Detroit, 1961), grupo de música soul, rhythm and blues y pop, aunque se han acercado igualmente a distintas fusiones de estilos musicales y al funk con cierta carga política. Fue el más importante grupo vocal masculino de los años sesenta. Estuvo inicialmente formado por cinco cantantes a partir de la fusión de dos grupos de Detroit, The Primes y The Distants. Otis Williams, Elbridge (conocido como El, o Al) Bryant y Melvin Franklin eran ya unos veteranos de la escena musical de Detroit cuando formaron the Distants, que en 1959 grabarían el sencillo "Come On" para el sello local Northern. Por las mismas fechas, the Primes, trío formado por Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams y Kell Osborne, se trasladaron a Detroit desde su originaria Alabama. Rápidamente, obtuvieron éxito (el mánager crearía una versión en femenino, The Primettes, del que más tarde surgirían The Supremes, con Diana Ross, Mary Wilson y Florence Ballard).

Letra de I Can't Get Next To You
Hold it everybody
Hold it, hold it, listen

I can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain
Whenever I want it to
Oh, I can build a castle
From a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail
Huh, on dry land

But my life is incomplete
And I'm so blue
'Cause I can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, babe
(Next to you)
I can't get next to you
(I just can't get next you)
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you

I can fly like a bird in the sky
Hey, and I can buy anything
That money can buy
Oh, I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desire

Unimportant are all the things I can do
'Cause I can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, babe
(No matter what I do)
I can't get next to you, uh-yeah

Ooh, woo, ooh, woo
Ooh, woo, ooh, woo
Chicka boom, chicka boom
Chicka boom, boom, boom

I can turn back the hands of time
You better believe I can
I can make the seasons change
Just by waving my hand
Oh, I can change anything from old to new
The things I want to do the most
I'm unable to do

Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
'Cause girl you're the key to my happiness
And I can't get next to you

Girl, you're blowing my mind
'cause I can't get (Next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm crying?
I can't get (Next to you)
Girl, it's you that I need
I gotta get (Next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm crying?
I can't get (Next to you)
I, I, I, I
I can't get (Next to you)
I, I, I, I
I can't get (Next to you)
Girl, you're blowing my mind
