'Dancing with the Stars' recap: Motown 'Knight'

Interesting and notable confluence of Motown legends on "Dancing with the Stars" last night, with the Temptations and Gladys Knight sharing the same floor, so to speak.
Of the five Temptations, only one -- Otis Williams (second, from left in clip) -- has been with the group since their founding in the early '60s (as the Elgins). Meanwhile, Knight got her start even earlier as a child star on the musical variety show, "Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour." She and Williams -- and so many of the other Temptations over the years -- are of course Motown greats. Which leads one to wonder: Could voters actually send her home tonight? She had the lowest score, but it's inconceivable Gladys Knight loses on Motown Knight of all nights.
[Actually, not inconceivable: Her "DWTS" journey is over. She was voted off tonight.]
