Temptations singer Otis Williams wants a jacket from Michael Jackson

Legendary Temptations singer Otis Williams let his imagination run wild at LAX on Tuesday … when he told us what Motown memorabilia he’d like to own.

The Motown icon told TMZ: “I would love to have something from Michael Jackson because he was so crucial to Motown.”

When our cameraman asked what specifically, Otis immediately said… “I’d like one of his jackets.”

The Temptations and the Jackson 5 were important staples Berry Gordy‘s hit machine in the ’70s, and Otis says the shared experience formed a bond with Michael that endured even when The King of Pop went solo.

Otis remembered Michael invited him into his trailer while he was shooting the “Remember the Time” music video. The two spent their time reminiscing about Motown.

Sadly, Otis said it wasn’t long before someone called for MJ to come back to set, but he was grateful for the memory.

“We knew him when he was a little boy, but he grew up to be a giant and a star, so I always cherish those moments,” Otis told us.

Before leaving us, Otis joked that he would also “like to have a copy of Berry Gordy’s first royalty check.”
