Over the decades, they have released four Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles and 14 R&B number-one singles, earning four Grammy Awards. In recognition of their enduring influence, The Temptations were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013 and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. Their classic songs "My Girl," "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)," and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" are enshrined among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
