[blueeyebabygirl]

all of these nasty racist comments. so sad. so glad God doesn't allow racists in heaven. this is the only heaven they will see. i mean really its 2012 already. how very pathetic. may you reap what you sow and God will make sure you do.

[6ft7inHIBread]

Rest In Peace, Don.

[OhioStateKillsOthers]

Mannn, I wish they still made music!

[Nummyful52]

I'm a metal head, yet I can't help myself. My grandmother played this all the time, and I fell in love. I have such a diverse taste in music

[evilbearfromhell]

@Nummyful52 looks like it's you, me, and some funky headbangin makes 3.

[lonelyari22]

[Freespeech1776]

Good days, good song. Wish I was back in the day again.

[glssmn43]

i was drivin home from work today jammin to this just classic.

[kbthiede]

kind of fucked up people dancing and having fun listening to a dude sing about his dad dying

[MsMrReason]

@kbthiede I thought the same - it like dancing to Clarence Carter's 'Patches' or Terry Jacks 'Seasons in the Sun'.

The music is so funky whereas the other two songs have tunes that tell you it is a sad story.

[MrShywolf13]

IGNORANCE...good music has NO COLOR...

[ilovetodance221]

[tootie10897]

[powell356]

look at the monkeys on "soul train" there dancing for a crack rock.

[jinn13]

@powell356 bastard racist, @hithead.

[williwonka32]

@powell356 yeah those so called monkeys did more than you will ever do in your life time.. i bet you your parents conceived you to this song.. your papa was a rolling stone.lmao

[49dimples]

@williwonka32 I KNOW YOU MUST A HONKEY CAUSE YOU ARE THE MOTHERFUCKER'S THAT LOOK'S LIKE MIRECAT'S AND ALWAY'S TRYING TO GIVE OTHER RACE'S OF PPL'S THAT,, LIKE TO CALL NAMES OUT AND LOOK LIKE'S EVERY ANIMAL CREATED BY GOD. UGLY BITCH.

[MsMrReason]

@powell356 Listen I bet you cannot look at a Ginger Orang-utan without calling out "Daddy". And I bet your mother looks like a snow monkey . My fiend there are many species of monkey in the world and you look like 70 percent of them.

It is just that other people do not have your lack of tact and show sympathy for the devil.

I am not one of those people down to your body hair you exhibit monkey traits. You would not dance for crack either but to sleep with a child or your sister - Be off

[jememey87]

@powell356 Great song!Ow yeah stupid white boy,you know how much whites smoke crack?!

I live in Holland and you don't know shit and ow yeah those white crack heads got money(€) and are the best crack/cocaine customers...

@poppifields13 quit defending the hiv/aids infested monkeys.those nasty bastards started the aids virus in africa plus there ate up with STDS.if you dont belive me go to the CDC website it gives you all the information on how nasty they are.

[oneluv72]

I love all of Norman Whitfields productions....BUT this here, MAAAAN!!!! Can't touch this!!

[avonnie69]

@oneluv72 no way man! This is one of the best of the era.

[XSarenkaX]

[TheVmb62]

[avonnie69]

[DAS603]

This song came out in 1972 and has been on the radio ever since, and it still sounds great today!

[Dragansky]

@joi12345678  both are very lyrical, anyways! but hey, nice point of view!!! *thumbs up*

[roobzsta7]

[randypullen1111]

[crissypoep]

[headtrackcoach]

no god is just listening to the GOOD music

[B1ackNinja04]

lol its so funny how style and dance changes over the years. I wonder if god is laughing watching all the peculiar behavior of humans.

[44felix]

i just love the temps. so much soul in their music. i just miss when you used to go to watch performers you not only got a song but also a dance. which was real "entertainment". now a days you get a song idk just something that's missing in this generation.

[BeastNation2009]

The clothes were just as I pictured for this track performance. lol

This cut was pure GOLD. Glad to have the instrumental too.

[MrTonyy1429]

this is when eddie took a break from temps had a small drug habit

[Kntrider007]

@MrTonyy1429 He had left a few years before to go solo.

[rudy2tute]

eddy kendricks sure don't look like eddy kendricks....

[DrePicaso]

@rudy2tute it's not eddie kendricks..

[Kntrider007]

@rudy2tute Thats Damon Harris. He was with the group in the early 70's after Eddie left because he kept beefing with Otis.

[rudy2tute]

@Kntrider007 ...my  error- over 50 you know...lost but not forgotten

[TheJkeene]

Too Good

[TheJkeene]

Too Good

[BeautyBdy]

Grew up with the song - luv it and the Temps. However, Soul Train needed better camera people - they should have focused on the person doing their solo. It was so screwed up - the camera would be on someone else while the soloist was singing. Still, I enjoyed Soul Train quite a bit!

[MsJollycholly]

@BeautyBdy I completely agree with your comment about the lack of closeups on solos. Especially now that they're all passed from sight, it would be nice to see them even lipsynching these great lyrics.

[RockitRonn]

if you were around this you cannot listen to it without singing! period!

[MsJollycholly]

@RockitRonn this was and still IS our favorite song at parties to do our 'soul train dance line''. You cannot listen to it without DANCING (even with our 50+ year old bones!) but we could do the 'robot' back in the DAY to this song......treasured memories.

[bentorjesusdeleonsos]

!!! Esto si que es Música !!! La música de hoy en dia no se puede comparar con este tipo por que no le llegaría ni a las rodillas ;-) Viva España ! (L)

[MontyCov]

I was born in the 90's, but fucking hell music is shot now compared to back then o_o

[jmtrapp]

Fantastic group who recorded some excellent music. (c;

[69mercurymarquis]

considered to be one of the baddest songs written and sung!! temps we're bad mutha f-----s!!! solidifies the fact that most music today suk's.

[mskevinjonas1988]

When I was little I used to stand on the table in the living room and sing this song really loud. I miss those days lol

[bengreens]

Temptations, SING!

[TheElmapa]

like it!!

[ImsoUhoez]

NIGGAS DONT DANCE LIKE THIS ANYMORE! LOL

[MrPitoBear]

I cant decide whose my favorite :( The Platters or The Temptations.

[2323giggity]

epic song---

[ssdivizion]

@2323giggity Epic tune,epic era,epic was almost everything compare to us.....but hey,maybe today kids will talk the same after 30-40 years for our time.....many greetings from Macedonia!

[LukaPoljak]

dreletronic - vumrl mi je pajcek moj

[princessgumbo]

Papa was a *Puts on shades* rolling stone.

[MrJankristian]

darkest song of the temptations

[StevenLJohnson]

no debts: "and when he died ... all he left us was alone"

[DlectricENT]

SO THIS WHERE THEY GET THE CATDADDY FROM

[joi12345678]

Are they saying

"All he left us was ALONE" or

"All he left us was A LOAN"

hmmmmm? ahaha

[KarAniel1990]

@joi12345678 YEA A 100,000 DOLLAR LOAN. LOL

[brwneyesaz]

@joi12345678 - Alone.

[joi12345678]

@brwneyesaz Yeah I know.....I was just making it known that it could of been either one.lol

[BrittaniNechelle]

@joi12345678 i was st thinking that while i was watching the movie last night

[Kntrider007]

@joi12345678 LMAO I have been asking that question for YEARS!!!

[moonoink]

@joi12345678 "all he left us was alone"

[joi12345678]

@moonoink I already know that.

But thanks for being so literal.

[douluvme1]

@joi12345678 they are saying "ALONE"

[joi12345678]

@douluvme1 (-_____-) I already know that.

[GarudaStudio]

@joi12345678 "All he left us was alone." It's a play on words.

[joi12345678]

@GarudaStudio I already know. I've been knew. I was just stating that both of the phrases sound similar. You're like the 50th person thats told me.

[bonsgirl]

Hot hot hot...hot.

[vikramas1109]

I still have some funk dripping off my computer screen after watching that.

[kyndubrown]

Dennis Edwards,can i have your baby,damn this a good lookin man,.Great addition 2 the Temptations,hands down.Madame Brown gurl,dj,own hurrrr in Texas.

[gcpropertymanagement]

Great music. Thanks for the video.

[CrownJewel32]

People swear up and down that they know about black hair but they don't know anything. I feel like if you don't have black hair, you should really shut up talking about it.

[kmburss]

If you listen carefully you can actually here some chilli pepper licks in there.

[Blondewithtools]

@petoom The people I knew that wore them were entertainers. It was a fun to be young.But I thinlk music has taken a steady decline since the 70's. Too much special effects and not enough raw talent

[allholy14]

This song has been covered so many times, but nothing compares to the original version by the Temps!

[97chux]

1973 LOVE THIS SONG USE TO WASH DISHES AT THE HARVEST HOUSE TO THIS SONG

[chynnablue818]

music is dead now thats why im glad i got this shit to listen to



[willycrespo93]

ima go get a perm now.

[drfrancov]

Could you post the answers? I know you posted it a while ago but it is really interesting.

[mariahrose210]

swag in it's purest form

[joi12345678]

@mariahrose210 OMG! You seriously didn't just say "Swag in it's purest form"

pahahaha!

[Anarkam]

Sublime !!!

[Gasbaggful]

I remember hearing songs like this while riding in the Mercury station wagon with one speaker, AM radio playing......they just don't make music like this anymore.....kinda sad!

[Blondewithtools]

The big frows like the woman are wearing are wigs...I remember those...

[CrownJewel32]

@Blondewithtools Actually, no they were not wigs. Most black women did not wear afro wigs. You do not know what you're talking about.

[Blondewithtools]

@CrownJewel32 Petoom and I already had this conversation only in an adult civil manner. So, if you were not so quick to snap and slow to read, you would of seen where I told him I was in the entertainment business and yes, they did wear wigs...Now tell me Beyonce doesn't wear extenstions.....Hair....It's what I do for a living...

[CrownJewel32]

@Blondewithtools You don't know anything about a black woman's hair cause you are not black. Most of the wigs you seen on television WERE their hair. Like I said, you have no idea what you're talking about. You're just one of those white women that wants to believe all black women are bald headed. Please get a clue. And, so what if Beyonce wears extensions? We are not talking about TODAYS black woman----we are talking about black women from back in the day. Stay on topic.

[Blondewithtools]

@CrownJewel32 My first intuition was right,sorry to burst your racist bubble but, I actually do know quite a bit about African American hair. I am a cosmetologist I don't discriminate. You should probably think about where this attitude that white hairdresser can't do African American hair really comes from. I would say you're not so upset that I said they wore wigs as much as a white person said they wore wigs.White and blacks both fought for disegregation,that should be respected on both sides

[CrownJewel32]

@Blondewithtools So, I'm racist because I said you don't know anything about MY hair? LOL Are you serious? And, sweetie, I would NEVER let you do my hair. I only let people with hair like my own do my hair. You could NEVER touch my head. I don't care what you think you're good at.

[CrownJewel32]

@Blondewithtools And, I don't care if you do hair for a living. You don't know anything about our hair so stop trying to tell me something that I know. Doing hair is MY hobby so I know what I'm talking about (ESPECIALLY when it comes to talking about BLACK HAIR----Something you ain't gota).

[blueguitarblue]

This is classic genius. The ranges and harmonies and still able to do their adorable dancing!

[Steven458565]
