On Friday night, when the Corvette 50th Parade ended, you didn't have to go far for the entertainment!  After the line of great Corvettes and marching Elvis' pass, Rockin' on the Riverfront continued to rev up the Downtown District. The Temptations performed on the famous floating stage located at Riverfront Park on the corner of 1st and Broadway.

Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame members The Temptations, with original member Ali Woodson and his Emporers of Soul, performs the hits "My Girl", "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" and "Beauty's Only Skin Deep."

For more than forty years, The Temptations have prospered propelling the popular Motown sound into smash hits. An original component of the Motown Machine, The Temps began recording in the 60's and became a house-hold name with the hit "The Way You Do the Things You Do." Many more hits followed like "My Girl", "Ain't Too Proud to Beg", "Beauty's Only Skin Deep" and "Get Ready."

In addition to their lyrical and poetic sound, The Temps became known for their "flair, flash and class," and The Temptation Walk became a signature of American style. From their tangerine tuxedoes to their smooth pop sounds, The Temptations were and are still the quintessential Motown group.

They advised folks to bring lawn chairs and blankets for the grass seating which was first come, first served. The music began at 6:00 pm and lasted until 10:00 p.m.  Rockin' on the Riverfront was open to the general public, not just to 50th Anniversary ticket holders.

Then it was time for the main Act... as 5 matching Yellow C5 Convertibles pulled up by the railing, each one transporting a member of the Temptations

After a while, we decided we had enough concert so we ventured down the street to the Nashville Hard Rock Cafe.  Thanks to Sonny fast talking one of the waiters, a 1-1/2 wait became 10-15 minutes.
