The Temptations are an American vocal group from Detroit, Michigan, who released a series of successful singles and albums with Motown Records during the 1960s to early 1970s. The group's work with producer Norman Whitfield, beginning with the Top 10 hit single "Cloud Nine" in October 1968, pioneered psychedelic soul, and was significant in the evolution of R&B and soul music. The band members are known for their choreography, distinct harmonies, and dress style. Having sold tens of millions of albums, the Temptations are among the most successful groups in popular music.

(via Alicia Keys - Unbreakable (Official Video) - YouTube)
A video whose references of couple who are no longer regarded as solid as they once were dates it to a specific time when various celebrity couples were greatly admired. Kanye West apparently co-wrote and co-produced this track, according to Wikipedia. Fun fact, Erykah Badu made a track using the same Eddie Kendricks track, Initimate Friends.

People, let me tell you 'bout a place I know:
To get in, it don't take much dough,
Where you can really do your thing, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's got a neon sign outside that says, "Come in and take a look at your mind";
You'll be surprised what you might find, yeah.
Strobe lights flashing from sun up to sun down,
People gather there from all parts of town.
