Ali-Ollie Woodson (born September 12 1951 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American R&B singer, songwriter, and keyboardist. He is most notable for being lead singer of Motown act The Temptations from 1984 to 1986, and from 1988 to 1996. While in the group, he co-wrote, co-produced, and sings lead on the 1984 Temptations single "Treat Her Like a Lady", which was a #2 hit on the U.S. R&B charts.
Since leaving the group, Woodson began a solo career, and often tour with a Temptations-like revue called Ali-Ollie Woodson & the Emperors of Soul (Emperors of Soul being the name of the Tempts' 1994 box set). Even though he is no longer a member of the Temptations, he toured with the group in Japan in 2002 while group member Barrington "Bo" Henderson was unable to accompany the group due to visa problems. His last Temptations album was 1995's For Lovers Only.
