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."

Lions-Cowboys ‘Thursday Night Football’ will have the ultimate hometown halftime show

DETROIT – The Detroit Lions will feature more Detroit icons as halftime performers of another nationally televised game.

Following the Jack White Thanksgiving game halftime show which featured Eminem, the Lions/Cowboys “Thursday Night Football” game will feature Motown greats, the Temptations.

The group, which has 37 top 40 hits with 15 songs reaching the top 10, will perform at halftime of the game at Ford Field on Thursday, December 4.

The Temptations were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. The halftime performance tomorrow night is not expected to be shown on TV.
