    Did the Temptations ever perform at Mar-a-Lago?

    In today's Washington Post, there was an article about a book review about Mar-a-Lago. The book was written by Laurence Leamer and is entitled
    "Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump's Presidential Palace."

    I am going to quote some interesting comments from the review.

    ". . . Donald was under the gun to make everything first class, and that's what he did. We'd say 'Holy cow, look who Donald has coming!' For $120 you had a fabulous buffet dinner and a show with a fifty-piece orchestra and a world-class performer like James Brown or the Temptations. . . ."

    I guess we will never know if this is a fact or not. My only hope is that IF and I say IF the Temptations performed there that they were reimbursed the amount that agreed to when the act was signed to appear there.

    Does anyone have any thoughts on this? If this is a fact, I wonder IF any other Motown artists ever performed at Mar-a-Lago.

    I can believe they did, although this is the first I am hearing of it. They performed on "Moonlighting" with Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepherd, so why not? LOL!!!

    Soooo as to the article , in order to elevate these functions into "first class" events, Donald Trump would choose to feature "world-class performers" including for example, James Brown and The Temptations.
    Goodness , what will we learn next about this bastard.
