The Temptations
Inducted by Daryl Hall and John Oates
Brief note - Hall and Oates also inducted Smokey Robinson in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 1987.
The Temptations are best known for leading the psychedelic soul genre. (Psychedelic soul is a hybrid of soul and psychedelic rock.) They also put their stamp on R&B and soul music.
"My Girl" is the band's signature song.
To date, the current members continue to perform.

Final thought -
Although I am not entirely a fan of The Temptations, I am a fan of their signature "My Girl."
