The legendary Motown group, The Temptations, have been tapped to sing the National Anthem at tomorrow night’s national college basketball championship game held at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, according to an Associated Press story.
The Grammy-winning group, which recorded such hits as “Papa Was a Rolling Stone,” “My Girl” and “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” will feature original member Otis Williams, according to the report. NCAA Senior Vice President Greg Shaheen told The Detroit News it’s “a special treat … for everyone who traveled to Detroit for this year’s NCAA championship game.”
The Detroit-born Motown record label is marking its 50th anniversary this year.
