MATT MEETS 'EMPERORS OF SOUL':JOHN BERGER / JBERGER@STARBULLETIN.COM
Honolulu Symphony Pops conductor Matt Catingub, in black, conferred backstage with the Temptations moments before the quintet hit the stage for a powerful 70-minute concert in the Blaisdell Concert Hall on Friday. It was the second night of a sold-out three-night engagement for the Tempts -- founding member Otis Williams, left, G.C. Cameron, Terry Weeks, Ron Tyson and Joe Herndon -- and they lived up to their reputation with an excellent show that included the group's biggest hits, some lesser-known mid-'60s classics, smooth choreography, a little comedy and a couple of songs from their recent releases.
