What is Ain't Too Proud?
Formed by five young guys from detroit, vocal group The Temptations struggled for years to land a hit. Things turned around when they signed for Motown, and with legendary songwriters like Smokey Robinson writing them tunes, the group rose to become one of the biggest names in American music. But their path to superstardom was far from smooth sailing, with clashing personalities and political disagreements nearly tearing the group apart.
Ain't Too Proud is now playing at the Imperial Theater.
This production refreshingly emphasizes the improbable triumph of rough, combustible parts assembled into glistening smoothness.
