[bembry409]

I cant watch the Temps perform without trying to match whose who from the movie and recalling my favorite scenes. Like this song here makes me think of the suicide scene.

Temptations Forever!

[tallorder9]

Dig those pink threads.

[juttajanedoe]

Yes - the volume is only on my left speaker - but a marvellous song!

[TheKimykali]

Real Men do wear PinK! They were always fresh! Back when looking stylish was the thing to do!

[HHH5D]

[motownfan5]

Damon Harris is the man !

[TheDeltagirl6]

Why they got on "nut squeezers"? Too tight and too short. Dennis if flooding!!

[Musicvegan01]

@TheDeltagirl6 That was the style back then.

[UptownBoyKhi96]

i think one from he jackson 5 and one from the temptations almost fought..i have to see the movie again cuss im not too sure

[icecolddude96]

@UptownBoyKhi96 The Temptations were in their 20s, in detroit, had a contract with Motown, and were making hits when the Jackson's were kids. In fact Michael modeled his vocals after Eddie Kendricks and his dance steps after David Ruffin, both members of The Temptations.

[UptownBoyKhi96]

nahh wen the jackson 5 were like young kids the temptations were teenagers..they used to pick on the jackson 5 though..its in the jackson 5 movie

[tuzwol]

@UptownBoyKhi96 ,those werent the temptations,that was another group,the tempts werent from Indiana,they were from Detroit,by way of the south

[useratacking]

fake jackson five? they look like it ;)

[HELLENIC2007]

@useratacking HUH? they came out before Jackson five came out

[tuzwol]

@useratacking ,if anything,its the other way around because The Tempts came out first

[tuzwol]

The Temptations were men when the Jackson Five were kids,they didnt pick on the jackson 5,where are you getting your facts from?lol

[shermalanderson]

Dennis is sexy as hell......minus the tight high-water punk polyester trousers

[TammyBear99]

you have got to try to get this again with louder volume!! its awesome!

[Doubleringer]

superb, and that was live

[Doubleringer]

superb

[shabuyamorningstar]

where can i get a suit like that!

[tysig92]

The steps are tight!

[Cashndoeallday]

RICHARD SOUNDS JUST LIKE PAUL ON HERE LIVE AND DAMON SOUND LIKE EDDIE THEY NAILED IT,THANKS FOR POSTING

[searcherboy]

Great song. I think they may have cooled down the funk and the moves for Ed Sullivan's audience. This version is less intense than others I've seen and heard.

[AlovesMJ]

I adore this song!

[mrsedward87]

dang them bridges were so tight it makes me breathe hard and gasp for air just watching.how could they dance or even sing without feeling uncomfrontable?lmao

[abcvvn]

i love melvin!!!

[MsSexyDiva4Lyfe]

I can see their nut sack! lol I guess i am a dick watcher

[AlovesMJ]

@MsSexyDiva4Lyfe lol! pervert! haha ;)

[lrwsoreal]

just think Damon Harris was only 21 in this video and the other Temps were almost pushing mid 30's to 40

[Spadesz93]

@lrwsoreal 31, 30, 30, 29 and 21 (otis, melvin, richard, dennis & damon)

[delici0usGurl]

Hey Mama, is it true what they say,

that Papa never worked a day in his life?

And Mama, bad talk going around town

saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.

And that ain't right.

HEARD SOME talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.

TalkIN about saving souls and all the time leeching.

Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.

[delici0usGurl]

love this song ♥

Mama just hung her head and said,

"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.

Wherever he laid his hat was his home.

(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone.

Wherever he laid his hat was his home.

(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

[ELGORITHM]

super voices !

[fumetti]

Clear video, horrible audio

[hlgray1991]

Did they wear the pink suits on Soul Train

[MsSexyDiva4Lyfe]

@hlgray1991 yep..i wqas just noticing that!

[Smithfieldis]

pink sutes!! Mama must be proud.

[Jazzysis]

Damon Harris was the next best of the best to Eddie Kendricks.

[bored80013]

I just downloaded this mp3 at audiogetnow..com

[TheDrJD]

from left to right not inculding dennis and melvin which ones are they because i dont know

[DetroitLives313]

@TheDrJD they are Otis Williams, Richard Street and Damon Harris. Thanks for watching!

[Spadesz93]

1:45 onwards Otis was gettin' it! Dennis was killing them as usual, a legendary Tempt he was. I love Richard's parts in this song, especially when he kills ya with that "UNH!"

[lrwsoreal]

@Spadesz93 lol yea but at tthe beginning i think Dennis was singing Richard's part when he said "Hey mama"

[myflag76]

gr8 band and gr8 song
