"DETROIT -- The Temptations have lit up stages all over the world since the 1960s. And although the legendary Motown group was formed in Detroit more than six decades ago, it will be performing in its first halftime show in Detroit when the Detroit Lions take on the Dallas Cowboys on "Thursday Night Football" at Ford Field. Otis Williams, the lone living original member of The Temptations, is telling fans to "Get Ready" for an unforgettable experience just like the title of the smash single."
"'We're going to make sure our game is tight,' Williams told ESPN. 'Because this is home and we want to make sure we're on point. We don't take it lightly; we want to make the best impression.' The Lions organization is also encouraging everyone to wear all-white, a trademark color of the group, which has achieved world renown with hits like "My Girl," "Just My Imagination," "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and countless others."
"Fans, members of the Lions coaching staff and their families are excited about the performance, Lions assistant head/wide receivers coach Scottie Montgomery said. 'I love it,' Montgomery said. 'The only thing is it's starting to cost me more and more tickets because all of my family members now, once they hear who's performing ... Now, we're tapping into Motown, of course now, uncles, aunts, everybody's lined up. 'I told them, 'I don't have any halftime passes, you come"
