Ali lead Temptations songs and audio clips from Ali Woodson's New Solo CD -Never Give Up-
The world is blessed with many talented song stylists, but only a few great voices. Ali Ollie Woodson is recognized as one of the most distinguished voices in the music world today. Woodson loves what he does...and that's just about everything. He has captured the attention of audiences' worldwide. A multifaceted performer, he plays several instruments including keyboards, bass, and drums, he writes his own music, lyrics, and arrangements, and produces recordings. Woodson performed with legendary groups such as "The Drifters' in the early 70's, and later replaced Teddy Pendergrass with the group "The Blue Notes".
Born in Detroit, Woodson started singing at the age of four in the local church choir. It was there that he exhibited heartrending harmonic melodies. At seven years old, Woodson entered and won first prize in a talent show, the first of many such rewards to come throughout his school days.
His incredible vocals and unbelievable range have led him to work with many of the other greats in the industry. He has performed with the Queen of Soul-Aretha Franklin, Natalie Cole, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, Patti Austin, "The Godfather of Soul"-James Brown, Lou Rawls, Bobby Womack, Howard Hewett, The Ojay's, Doc Powell, Johnny Gill, Jimmie Jam and Terry Louis, Ralph Tresvant, Chris Martin, Ann Nesby, Al Green, Charlie Wilson and The Gap Band, The Four Tops, Rachelle Ferrell, Sam Moore, and many others.
Ali has also added acting to his resume. He has appeared in many episodes of "Amen" & "The Jamie Fox Show", had a small role in "The Little Richard Movie" and has appeared in several plays around the country.
For over 13 years he was the driving force behind the legendary group "The Temptations".As lead singer of The Temptations, Woodson had to fill the shoes of two of the most powerful singers of all time, David Ruffin and Dennis Edwards. He not only filled those shoes, he took it to the next level creating a style all his own which, is now synonymous with the name "Temptations". Contributing original material for many great new songs, Woodson put the Temptations back on top of the Pop and R&B charts with his "Treat Her Like a Lady", which went gold. His intoxicating delivery of "Treat her like a Lady", continues to be a Pop and R&B favorite all over the world.
Woodson, who is devoted to song, has a way of intoxicating his audiences, engulfing them in a love affair with his voice, producing magical moments. As one fan put it, "He's so versatile. I don't know of another singer I could just sit and listen to all night long".
In 1996 Woodson poured his heart & soul into putting together The Emperors of Soul, his current project. Consisting of four other talented performers… this dynamic group has been traveling all around the world wow-ing audiences at each and every stop. Singing the greatest hits from the Motown era The Emperors of Soul will tug at your heart one moment and make you want to get up and dance the next. From the Temptations "My Girl" to "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" every second will take you back to the memories of long ago & will touch your every emotion. Woodson also has a solo CD entitled "Right Here All Along". He is currently in the studio working on his second release.
Woodson is the total music personality. He's sensitive, open, honest, and driven; maybe that's why he is destined to be the people's entertainer. A singer by trade, Woodson is definitely an artist by passion.
