Theo Peoples is the lead on the recording. He had left the group by the time they shot the video. Bo Henderson is lyp synching to Theo's vocals. Bo and Terry are doing the second and third leads. The spoken word is sweet Otis.
When Bo departed Otis should have thought about Clyde Brown, formerly of The James Cleveland Singers and later part of a group derivative of The Drifters. Brown was discovered by Cleveland singing in a church in Lincoln Heights, Ohio. He made a brief appearance on the secular scene with now defunct Canyon Records (Mickey Stevenson) then Atlantic before falling off the radar altogether. A fine singer, he would have been a good fit.
A timeless song to go down in history like, 'My Girl', 'Just My Imagination', 'Treat Her Like A Lady', 'The Way You Do The Things You Do', and so many more. This smooth melody can change a mood for the better in 0.8 seconds. Categorized as one of the all-time greats in the history of R & B singers.
its interesting how the temptations went from sumtin like the "way you do the things you do" to this,
this is a good song in all but i can never listen to the whole. I end up thinking of the older stuff. i still think they shouldn't have use the "my girl" intro
Oh my god this is music that just stops your heart right here,it just makes you smile.Music form switch,the temptations,Michael Jackson,The Jacksons,and mostly and the music in the 70's and 80's.Good music, thanx for postin.
Theo Peoples sings this song...but left before the tour for the album...so the video has his replacement, Barrington Henderson, lip syncing to Theo's vocals. A confusing situation, but what else could they have done?
Jeremiah if that's the case then why didn't these guys have success as solo artist and don't forget Dennis Edwards he took over for David after he embarked on his unsuccessful solo junket.
True. The only member who had major success as a solo artist was Eddie Kendricks who scored 3 # 1 R&B hits, while his single Keep On Truckin' has been sampled by Lil' Kim, Mr Cheekz and J-Lo. Dennis had one hit as a solo artist.
The Tempts have carried on. When David was let go they had several hits. Plus u have to remember that Paul was forced to leave due to health problems and he committed suicide two years afer he left. Eddie and David did rejoin the group in 1982 for a reunion tour, with hopes of having them return on a permanent basis, but that didn't happen due to David's issues and prison service and Eddie's mistrust of Motown. People still wanna see The Temptations perform
I like dis song and I think im the only one that has dis song in my country rap is number 1 here and dis sort o music is not played anymore thats a shame :(
Otis Williams the founder of the Temptation and leader. Always in the back ground and keep the talent coming . Yes Otis Williams made the Temptations.
Actually Theo Peoples had sang lead on this song, but he left shortly after the album was completed, so they recruited Bo Barington to take his place because they both have similar vocal and singing styles. Bo is lipsynching Theo's part in this video
Hey Muzic!! Thanx ! I was wondering about the voices. As a long time favorite of the Temps its so hard to keep up with constant changes,especially when this group does not get the coverage media wise due to time and era in the music world. Great song !
Thanks. I didn't know that Theo was singing lead on this song until I read a site which listed who sang lead on each of the songs on the album. I'm pissed that they don't get coverage like they should, but at least they're getting respect from the fans like us.
I read Otis' updated autobiography and he said that when producer Narada Michael Walden played him the song, he knew it would be a hit, and after the group recorded it, he felf that the song needed strings, and it topped the Adult Comtemporary charts for 3 months. That song should have been a # 1 R&B hit.
Wam! I agree! The Strings really enhance the sound! It is so evident in all of the 70s songs! Example- We've Come To Far To End It Now. Smokey and the Miracles!
this lineup of Temptation was the best since the original...i mean every last one of those guys could sing exceptionally well...the album was great...imma fan of old school(especially motown) and still think the originals were best but these guys were some damn good contenders
This is a very very beautiful soul-filling song. It's so passionate, fellas you did very well. I love this song... took me a minute to find out who the artist was but I found it.
SammyJoeH (6 days ago) -- The lead on this tune is Barrington "Bo" Henderson. He appears in the video in white, pushing the girl on the swing. Theo contributed to several audios on the album. He does not do the lead on this tune, however.
Wrong. Theo Peoples departed during the making of Phoenix Rising. He led 2 songs on the album, Stay, and his own composition, This is My Promise. The video only shows Bo Henderson, so the vid is probably lip synced. I still like it, Im just saying.
Bo sang lead on How Can He Hurt You. He tried to join the group in the late 1970's when Dennis first left, He also came close to joining in 1990 when Ali-Ollie was thinking about leaving, He got his chance when Theo left.
Go hed on wit yo histry Music. I love your comments!!! I do got a question on dis one though--ain't this Terry singing and Bo lipsynching for the vid?? Blessings!
Thanks. You're on the money. Bo is lipsynching Theo's part, while Ron and Terry are lipsynching to their recorded parts. Theo had recorded songs of the Phonexi Rising album before he left and joined The Four Tops and being that he and Bo have similar vocals, it was smart to have him Lipsynch his parts as well as sing them live. I saw them perform this live in 2000 and they killed it. Thanks for the comment and taste in music
cool vid, except for the fact that this song was recorded with Theo Peoples, not Bo Henderson.
Back in April I went to go see these guys. Back then I didnt know who the Temptations were (except that they sang My Girl, which I loved). So here I am, sitting in the theater, enjoying the songs, but really waiting for them to sing My Girl. Finally I hear the opening bass beat to My Girl, and I jump on the seat and scream "I LOVE THIS SONG!", then I realized it wasn't My Girl, it was this song lol
I am an original Tempts fan, however, through every transformation they have managed to remain a class act producing the most soulful, harmonious, joyful music of all time.
This is beautiful, using the "My Girl" beat feels like an homage to their fallen Tempts!
I love this song! This is the best line-up since the original Tempts. I think they left Motown again. I saw the Tempts in concert about 6 years ago and they were all very sexy! Thanks LovlyRetta.
I absolutely love this song. How in the world can the Temps manage to keep finding these who can sing like this? I am also crazy about This Is My Promise To You. I wish someone would post a video of this one if it exist.
The Temptations sent shivers down my spine back in the day and they still do.....how many can you say that about??? Love this song...love anything that they do.
I saw the Temptations mini-series when I was all of 10 years old and ever since then, I 2 have been the biggest fan EVER of this legendary group. The PR album came out the same year the mini-series premiered and I wore this song out. Paul, David, Eddie and Melvin will always be remembered. Temptations Forever.
P.S.
Theo Peoples straight up killed this song. I wish he could have remained a Temp. The second best lineup the Temps ever had (after the classic 5) was Ali, Theo, Melvin, Otis and Ron.
I fell in love with the Tempts at age 5 im 16 now. Man I know over 119 songs by the Tempts no lie. I got the pleasure of having dinner with Mr. Richard Street and met Ali Woodson. Hopefully one day I can meet Otis Williams. IM THE BIGGEST TEMPTATION FAN THERE EVER WILL BE!!!
If you want to talk about a latter-day version of an immortal singing group making a great song that also pays homage to the group's legendary past, well this is it! I can't tell you how many older people I played this for who said that this reminded them so much of the original group. Thanks for posting!
dyrone 745, Otis is the only Temp left. There is such a thing as a legacy. I love the old Temps with David, Eddie, amd Melvin, but these guys are carrying on a great tradition. And I love the current sound.
I am quite sure that the original Temptations including Otis is sad over this one. Yes the future has to go on, but at least let one legend go on with it. You will never get Issac Hayes, or James Brown, or Luther Vangros, or anyone else in the musical family like we had in the old days, till now. Let us tell our musical youngsters that this is what music is all about. Not all of this hip hop.
Yes as far as your other response goes.And this was such a good effort ! Now watch they go and Sample this and then bragg how they did it.I saw some Brothers (young) playing Songs on the Violin last week on a Morning news Program last week,and They play Classical Jazz,ect and Perform on stage in New York city. They are keeping it real so we do have some hope ,maybe!!
True I 've met many young people who don't even like today's music and recording artists. That goes to show that they have good taste in music and they appreciate legends like the Tempts.
Not true it's a matter of personal taste todays music does or says very little compared to the music of yesterday especially love songs, where are they, what do they say, what do they touch ?
Well, yeah it is a matter of personal taste but it's humanely impossible to be aware of every song that's come out in the last nine years or so. Thus making it impossible to say with any certainty that "todays music is not good". As a matter of fact I think that whole idea is quite laughable and completely uninformed.
True from that perspective it's easier to say that you either like or dislike a particular genre of music or music from a different era or time period than to say it's not good.
I stand corrected, an opinion well stated on your behalf with dignity, if more can defend their statement or opinion as you have and others can accept and admit it
That's your opion and I wasn't bashing today's music. I said that there are many young people who don't like today's music, and just because a person doens't like a particular style and genre doesn't mean they dont have any taste in music. It shows that they appreciate the pioneers and legends who paved the way for many of today's acts
Yeah Music,I think this generation needs to be taught Music Appreciation like we were in school! From Chopin,Mozart,Bach, all the way up to Motown.This is the only way SOME will get to relate and understand the true meaning of this Art!
It's great to see young people appreciate good music by legendary artists. I got into Motown when I was in 9 grade in 1986, and have been in love with the Tempts eversince
This is a GREAT song.. and you disabled the embed code.. shame on you ! I wanted to put it on my Yearbook Videos and it won't show up on " SEARCH VIDEOS"..and I can't add it from here, because the code is disabled. That is just wrong.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!! -Real music from Real Men...

I fell in love with the Tempts at age 5 im 16 now. Man I know over 119 songs by the Tempts no lie. I got the pleasure of having dinner with Mr. Richard Street and met Ali Woodson. Hopefully one day I can meet Otis Williams. IM THE BIGGEST TEMPTATION FAN THERE EVER WILL BE!!!

Temptations Forever

If you want to talk about a latter-day version of an immortal singing group making a great song that also pays homage to the group's legendary past, well this is it! I can't tell you how many older people I played this for who said that this reminded them so much of the original group. Thanks for posting!

dyrone 745, Otis is the only Temp left. There is such a thing as a legacy. I love the old Temps with David, Eddie, amd Melvin, but these guys are carrying on a great tradition. And I love the current sound.

I am quite sure that the original Temptations including Otis is sad over this one. Yes the future has to go on, but at least let one legend go on with it. You will never get Issac Hayes, or James Brown, or Luther Vangros, or anyone else in the musical family like we had in the old days, till now. Let us tell our musical youngsters that this is what music is all about. Not all of this hip hop.

Thank you. If it wasn't for Motown, Stax and Philadelphia International, these kids wouldn't have music to sample in the first place.

Yes as far as your other response goes.And this was such a good effort ! Now watch they go and Sample this and then bragg how they did it.I saw some Brothers (young) playing Songs on the Violin last week on a Morning news Program last week,and They play Classical Jazz,ect and Perform on stage in New York city. They are keeping it real so we do have some hope ,maybe!!

True I 've met many young people who don't even like today's music and recording artists. That goes to show that they have good taste in music and they appreciate legends like the Tempts.

Not liking current music is not indicative of good taste.
ThaSweetHart 2 years ago
Not true it's a matter of personal taste todays music does or says very little compared to the music of yesterday especially love songs, where are they, what do they say, what do they touch ?
mcmayspulliam 2 years ago
Well, yeah it is a matter of personal taste but it's humanely impossible to be aware of every song that's come out in the last nine years or so. Thus making it impossible to say with any certainty that "todays music is not good". As a matter of fact I think that whole idea is quite laughable and completely uninformed.
ThaSweetHart 2 years ago
True from that perspective it's easier to say that you either like or dislike a particular genre of music or music from a different era or time period than to say it's not good.
I stand corrected, an opinion well stated on your behalf with dignity, if more can defend their statement or opinion as you have and others can accept and admit it
we can eliminate ignorance on some level.
mcmayspulliam 2 years ago
That's your opion and I wasn't bashing today's music. I said that there are many young people who don't like today's music, and just because a person doens't like a particular style and genre doesn't mean they dont have any taste in music. It shows that they appreciate the pioneers and legends who paved the way for many of today's acts

Yeah Music,I think this generation needs to be taught Music Appreciation like we were in school! From Chopin,Mozart,Bach, all the way up to Motown.This is the only way SOME will get to relate and understand the true meaning of this Art!
