    Soul Stirring Drama
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 24, 2011*

Ain't Too Proud to Beg definitely stirs up the soul, as the great times transcend rather quickly into devastation. Ribowsky impeccably weaves together accounts, interviews, and records, and creates a seamless tale of success and pain. While reading this book you grow up with the Temptations, you fall in love with each one, and on the flip side a part of you dies when their journeys on this earth ends all in tragedy (even though you may know how it will end). You'll learn things you never knew about the original five as myths from the movie "Temptations" are dispelled. Ain't Too Proud to Beg will have you laughing and crying. Ribowsky knows his music, beats, and instruments and explains them so well that you will find yourself singing along to those Temptation classics. I do not believe that the story of the Temptations could have been recorded any better. Ribowsky exhausted all avenues possible in telling the tale of a group with only one surviving original member. I recommend this book to Temptation and/or Motown fans, music industry buffs, and history lovers. And to those who read avidly about Motown I felt Ribowsky laid his own opinions about Berry Gordy aside and put both sides of the argument on the table. He leaves it for you to decide if Gordy financially, mentally, or emotionally drained the Motown acts or did he help them.The way this drama was compiled and the leg work that Ribowsky did made me more than happy. As a fan who has read and interviews by Otis, and even Kendrick and Ruffin, I am so please with what I was given. My heart took a beating and I was depressed at times but I loved this book.

    The Book was Awesome!!!
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 29, 2010*

I really enjoyed reading the book, Ain't To Proud to Beg; The Troubled Lives and Enduring Soul of the Temptations.  It was a great read.  I am not saying that everything in it was true, but I surely got some new insight into the lives of the Temptations(my favorite group of all time).  The book was not the least bit predjudice to one person's side of the story.  It gave information from all sides, and that is what I liked about it the most. It did not make me change my mind about any of the guys, but I do think that I understand them a little better.  It is up to the individual to decide if the are going to believe the story or not.  I couldn't put the book down once I started reading it.  I think that if you are interested in the Temptation story(notice I said story and not history), you will enjoy reading this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Wonderful and detailed book
  

*by C***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2020*

The Temptations are by far my favorite group of all time.  When I saw this book was written with Otis William's input I ordered it.  Sad as the story is, I couldn't put it down.  Even thought I knew they were all gone except for Otis, the information was invaluable.  I recommend this book for any fan of the Temptations.  The inside information about Berry Gordy and the way he operated was a real eye opener.
