[PAUL, spoken]
I'm Paul, this is Eddie
[EDDIE, spoken]
What we need to join a group for?
Two people, no chaos
Five...You fighting over the spotlight
[PAUL, spoken]
Heard y'all got a contract, but not no more
[OTIS, spoken]
We got a contract
Might be more folks to divide the power with
But it'd be a much bigger pie
[EDDIE, spoken]
We always get equal share of that pie? Everybody equal?
[OTIS, spoken]
You have my word, we all men and we all equal
[PAUL, spoken]
How that sound to you?
[EDDIE, spoken]

[OTIS, spoken]
There we were, the original five
Singing our way around Detriot, but we barely had a name
Our manager, Johnnie Mae, was a shark of a woman
Could hustle and muscle around town like any man
But things weren't jiving too well
[JOHNNIE, spoken]
Ooo Otis, you acting like you don't trust me
[OTIS, spoken]
I don't think this goin' work out no more
[JOHNNIE, spoken]
Fine then! You wanna go? Go!
But I'm takin' back everything
Taking the Cadillac, them suits I bought y'all last week
And the name
[OTIS, spoken]
The name?
[JOHNNIE, spoken]
Otis Wiliams and the Distants? Ha ha ha! That's my name!
I made it and I'm taking it with me
[OTIS, spoken]
Glad to know it's no hard feelings...
[JOHNNIE, spoken]
Hard feelings, soft feelings, only thing that matters is the bottom line
You gonna learn that Otis, good luck to ya

[JOHNNIE, singing]
I want you to know
Mmm I said I want you to know right now
I've been good to you baby, better than I been to myself
[OTIS WILLIAMS & THE DISTANTS, singing]

[AL "ELBRIDGE", singing]
I said I want you to know
That she gotta go right now
[OTIS WILLIAMS & THE DISTANTS, singing]
(Hey, hey)

[OTIS, spoken]
So we changed our names to the Elegance
But that wasn't gonna last long
We were performing covers at a local talent show
And Detroit's music guru was in the building
When you hear Mr. Berry Gordy himself, is heading to the bathroom, you suddenly have to pee really bad

[OTIS, spoken]
I'm a big fan of yours Mr. Gordy, names Otis Williams
[BERRY, spoken]
I like what you guys were doing up there, got a good sound
But you can't always do cover songs, you understand
Eventually, you've got to do originals
[OTIS, spoken]
Uh yes sir, I can write originals songs too
We ready for the next step
[BERRY, spoken]
That's what everyone says till they see how high the staircase is
If you fellas are really serious, give me a call on Monday
And figure out a name for yourself, can't be the Elegance
Already got that

[AL "ELBRIDGE", singing]
Now wait a minute!
I feel alright!
[EDDIE, singing]
(Yeah-Yeah, Yeah-Yeah!)
(Oooo)
[AL "ELBRIDGE", singing]
Now that I got my woman
I feel alright!
[EDDIE, singing]
(Yeah-Yeah, Yeah-Yeah!)
[AL "ELBRIDGE", singing]
Every time I think about you
You been so good to me

[OTIS, spoken]
Mr. Gordy, we figured out what we wanna be called
[THE TEMPS, spoken]
The temptations
[EDDIE, spoken]
Cuz once you hear us sang
[AL "ELBRIDGE", spoken]
You'll do anythang
[BERRY, spoken]
