I love the Temps! This is what i call real music.. Everything about the Temps and all motown classics is there originality. There so Original! Nowadays its music about money, fame and sex etc.. Or playing around with singers voices etc .. If only the originality stayed alive! The Temptations are the best ; and even though they got sidetracked their voices were and always will be definately inspiring.
regardless of the drug demon,when he showed up, he never lost the voice or the ability to perform, rip ruff,you are missed by me, i still remember that young super smooth fine young lead singer, i still can her him tonite
I love the drummer and I love music thats why im here, I could be listening to this then "Eskimo joe Forgien land" I love all jounders as long as has fire/soul/something.
PS I know I cant spell so stick it nerds, I speak and can pronounce.
awh mayne, am I the only one that can tell the difference in David's voice. Cocaine is a horrible thing. it's so sad how he died. You guys can learn about him on UnSung, they are going to do an episode on him in February.
@Ikenstein ..I don't know who those guys are in the back. maybe that is when Eddie and David were doing their own Temptations group, while Otis had the original Tempts, well of course not the original lineup. The gropu was not the same when Eddie and David left. But that cocaine demon really messed David up. I understand that drug demon messed with Dennis Edwards and Ollie Woodson. The current Temptations is not that good. I'd rather look at YouTube and see the old group.
A passionate vocal performance of the song, but the drummer really detracts from it. He ruins the bridge with overplaying. Those old Motown session players can't be beat.
Sounds like a lot of young people writing the great comments here. I, too, love this music as much today at age 61 as I did as a very young teenager. Never got to see them live like I did the Beatles, but their songs hit me with the same gut-wrench that they did when brand new. .
Yes virginia177612 and today I was listening to some new "song" , and what is REALLY missing ,too, is a melody. People now just fish around with notes that have no connection, that is why the songs never get above bad/fair. You can't sing 'em.
As I look back to those days , it's amazing that the artists like The Temptations , Smokey Robinson , The Four Tops from Motown --- The Rolling Stones , Beatles , The Beachboys etc. all sang live and wrote music --- Not so today --- all show very little talent , dirty language , and all gimmicks --- pretty sad ---
He's got some talent, but why does he look so old? smh he was only 50 when he died...So im guessin he's in his 40s in this clip...Sad what drugs can do to you...
OMG!!! Thank you so much for posting this!!! This is gold... David Ruffin is one of the best singers of all times in my humble opinion, and let's not even mention Eddie. Temptations were a huge success thanx to both of them... I wish I was there in that audience...
this is the david ruffin revue w/eddie kendricks.only eddie and dabid are originals.later that year The Temptless Temptaions ,eddie kendricks,dennis edwards,and david ruffin went on tour.learn the history behind this stuff so we wont waste time with it.POST IT CORRECTLY PLEASE!!!!
@poppinthangs Oh yeah? What brother is that? I only know of one brother of his that sung professionally, and his name is Jimmy Ruffin. Jimmy Ruffins voice bore a striking resemblance to David's, however, Icannot say that it was strong as his brother's, as Jimmy's voice was softer.
@jookinmus Don't count Jim out songs such as: Shake Hands With A Dreamer, Gonna Give Her All the Love I've Got, How Can I Say I'm Sorry, Beauty Is Only Skin Deep. He does his thing on them
The only difference between music makers in the 70's and the ones now, is that the music makers in the 70's could write songs, sing, and play instruments.
@mdschererco - I agree that 70's music is far better but re the Temps, they were the best vocalists without doubt but NOT musicians (The Funk Brothers played on all their Motown hits) and they did not write their own stuff either (Smokey Robinson, norman Whitfield, etc did)..................
others have covered this song, though they are great singers i think that they should leave this greatest pop/rb song ever penned song by david ruffin alone.
I wish people would stop referring to this video clip as the last live performance that david & eddie had with the tempts. The tempts are not in this clip and never were. This video just shows the greatest of David and Eddie.
I'm happy to say that I lived during the 60s difficult times, to say the least ... it was Great! I thank God that I survived. The 60s were an unpredictable time. I often felt that the world was going to end before 1970. I lost some friends in the "unpopular" political war that was (VietNam). Still today I remain traumatized of the times in which changed my life forever.
I Sadly have to grow up in this crummy era of poor music. People make fun of me for listening to this but I dont care cause I know this is what true music is. Bring back the 60's and 70's
@TheNorthernSoulKing I grew up in that era, and it was Great!! Its up to you to keep the era going,. Why worry about what the others say, your just ahead of your time. Your smarter then they are because you can and feel see things that they don't see or feel. Thank you, your great!
@TheNorthernSoulKing We can`t bring back the 60`s or 70`s but we can keep them alive.... Just keep playing the music and the greats who are no longer with us will live on in the music they gave us........Music don`t have an age it lives on for ever. So just enjoy what you like and don`t worry about the people who make fun of you they are the ones who are missing out
@Noremac241 I ment by bring them back was dancing at clubs. Wish we could I love to dance to this music not rap or any of the garbage today. Some of todays is ok but most stinks
@TheNorthernSoulKing I love when I see younger people out here loving this music. You can tell by my name that I was around when the Mighty Temptations broke onto the music scene with their unique sound. As I have said before, this group and others out of Motown was all there was to listen to when the British brought their "elevator shit music" to our shores. This was a time when you needed to have a voice and a good song with words that meant something to have hit songs. Watch their Movie.
@lcharsl Yes if u would like one tell me what songs you havent heard in awhile and Id be glad to hopefully youtube wont take them down like they do half my songs but instead they allow someone to fart in a microphone and they keep that up?
@TheNorthernSoulKing Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh... You were there in the 60's while this guys were the news... Whoa! Nice. I was put in the wrong era by God... I was born when these things were already out of date... And if people make fun of you, imagine me... My friends listen to eletronic music, while I want to hear real instruments being played, with real singers doing their best,
@TheNorthernSoulKing We do have great singers, and great music in our time too... But people insist in not giving them space. With rare exceptions, like John Legend, for example. Good singer!!! See for the 90's R&B. Good quality in vocals... But where are those people now. Hiding in independent labels, while puberty boys with no quality in voice what so ever (sorry Justin Bieber, but you should wait for all the voice changing for your own good) are dominating the charts.
@TheNorthernSoulKing Justin, if well mentored, and if he wants to, he will be a great singer someday. With the right music and the right training. For now, it seems like Usher and his mom were interested in make money out of him. But, yeah, you're a sooooooooooo right when you say you miss those days, cause these were the songs playing on the radio. The good ones. You had to be a great singer to be on a record label. Today is more about the looks, and the behinds... Hahaha
@crazyromanian1 I ignore them and turn up the speakers as loud as they will go my generation is really screwed if people get really up set over video games. I think I would have made more friends up till now if I had grown up during those times
@TheNorthernSoulKing People sure socialized more and weren't glued to computers. video games, TV's.....maybe they ate less and danced more. As kids we were always outside playing. Those were the days!!!
A ultima vez que eles tocaram My Girl, essa é em homenagem ao melhor amor da nossa, vida, o ultimo (ou aquele que acreditamos ser o ultimo, ou seja, o da vez!)
The Temptations are physically gone but alive in Spirit. Otis is Otis. He can never be anything else. He has never contributed any talent; just tagged on the backs of the ‘Great Temptations’ Today he lives off the ghost of the real 'Temptations'. Their royalties’ feed his selfish uncaring ego. Long live the love of David; Eddy; Paul and Melvin. They are all waiting for Otis to cross over. Otis has many prices to pay, particularly to David!!!!! Millions love you David. Real Temptations Fan
David, David, David thanks for sharing that voice with us you are the greatest of all time no more needs to be said. R.I.P. til I can get my ticket to the greatest choir of all-time that I know that you will be leading. Simply the best. Thanks who ever posted this....
Ive always known of the Temps but never really got into them. Ive heard all there music. Been listening to them for the past week now. OMG! They were awesome! Too bad I didn't realize it before. Looking for the box set now. LOL!
Our original disagreement months ago was on whether it was right to attack David who is not here to defend himself, right? You replied that you were exercising your right to free speech. Fair enough.
For the record, I love America, and have traveled there on several occasions and you're right that many people look up to her as a beacon of hope in a dark world. For my part, this row is over. Cheers M. p.s. I'm not Spanish. I was born in England but live in Spain.
MUSICAS BOAS ERA NESTA ÉPOCA...NÃO PUDE VIVER ÉSSA ÉPOCA MAS CRESCI OUVINDO MEU TIO OUVINDO NOSTALGIAS ENTÃO...EU SOU UMA APAIXONADA POR BLACK MUSIC.NOSTALGIAS..
@MrVoxter Hum... In my music lover experience (humble), many tried to sing it, but only David can make it real nice. Even the writter (Smokey Robinson) can't do it so hip and fresh. So... Let's pray that David Ruffin Jr. read this, and maybe he could give it a try... But if you want to hear a kinda new recording on it, I suggest you go find Westlife's version. It is 10 years old or so already, and it's more pop and less R&B, but the group made a pretty descent job.
what is the song he sings after My Girl? after Eddie went to band man & they change up the melody, can some one please tell me!!! David your the Greatest to ever take the stage, & hit the studio :)
I can't say enough about the Tepms and the impact on my and many other lives. I give them credit for continuing, but no other lineup beats the one that we all knew: Otis,melvin, Paul, Eddie and David. It's so sad when you think that prevetable problems were what took the lives of 3 of them. Most tragically, David's. There hasn't been anyone like thes 5 since.
They would have gained the popularity of the 60's but they could have still made a very good living off performing, they had fans for life, like me I would pay easily $75
to see them all preform together, it has to be with ruffin & kendricks to me they where the heart of the band.. it's like the beatles without lennon.
@ golfsmoore This wasn't the Temptations group. This was a concert that Eddie, Dennis, and David did during their tour as Ruffin, Kendrick, and Edwards: Ex Leads of The Temptations from the mid-80s to the early 90s. The actual Temptations (Otis and Melvin) were touring somewhere else. Otis was angry about them using "The Temptations" in the name but Eddie also had legal claim to the name as he also founded the group.
@icecolddude96 No this was just David and Eddie, the concert was called Dancin in the Streets. The dennis, david, & eddie, didnt start until 1989 after the were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
@golfsmoore This is not The Temptations. It`s just David & Eddie .... along with some guys they hired to sing background. They sound like the Temps because along with Paul, David and Eddie were the heart & soul of the group.
Really enjoyed this, wish they were still performing. It's sad the kids growing up today won't ever hear this kind of talent unless someone shows them.
@65beachgirl lol I'm 16 listening to this music, but ur right the reason I even know this band is because I'm a huge fan of the movie Remember the Titans
@MayzHughes I'm glad you do know this kind of music, It will always be the kind that is everlasting, the music today is combined with some good stuff and some only good because of studio help, and half the time it is filled with really degrading lyrics. My kids all like today's stuff and I have a few favorites today as well, but I know it does not really compete with music like the "Temptations and other great Motown classics.
Too bad real music like this will never happen again....too much computer enhancement and auto-tone these days. You don't have to really sing anymore...these days the record deals are all about who you know instead of "real" talent. RIP Motown...
He kinda looks like Sammy Davis Jr. with glasses.

The Temptations are physically gone but alive in Spirit. Otis is Otis. He can never be anything else. He has never contributed any talent; just tagged on the backs of the ‘Great Temptations’ Today he lives off the ghost of the real 'Temptations'. Their royalties’ feed his selfish uncaring ego. Long live the love of David; Eddy; Paul and Melvin. They are all waiting for Otis to cross over. Otis has many prices to pay, particularly to David!!!!! Millions love you David. Real Temptations Fan

Our original disagreement months ago was on whether it was right to attack David who is not here to defend himself, right? You replied that you were exercising your right to free speech. Fair enough.
For the record, I love America, and have traveled there on several occasions and you're right that many people look up to her as a beacon of hope in a dark world. For my part, this row is over. Cheers M. p.s. I'm not Spanish. I was born in England but live in Spain.

@MrVoxter Hum... In my music lover experience (humble), many tried to sing it, but only David can make it real nice. Even the writter (Smokey Robinson) can't do it so hip and fresh. So... Let's pray that David Ruffin Jr. read this, and maybe he could give it a try... But if you want to hear a kinda new recording on it, I suggest you go find Westlife's version. It is 10 years old or so already, and it's more pop and less R&B, but the group made a pretty descent job.

I can't say enough about the Tepms and the impact on my and many other lives. I give them credit for continuing, but no other lineup beats the one that we all knew: Otis,melvin, Paul, Eddie and David. It's so sad when you think that prevetable problems were what took the lives of 3 of them. Most tragically, David's. There hasn't been anyone like thes 5 since.

They would have gained the popularity of the 60's but they could have still made a very good living off performing, they had fans for life, like me I would pay easily $75
to see them all preform together, it has to be with ruffin & kendricks to me they where the heart of the band.. it's like the beatles without lennon.

@ golfsmoore This wasn't the Temptations group. This was a concert that Eddie, Dennis, and David did during their tour as Ruffin, Kendrick, and Edwards: Ex Leads of The Temptations from the mid-80s to the early 90s. The actual Temptations (Otis and Melvin) were touring somewhere else. Otis was angry about them using "The Temptations" in the name but Eddie also had legal claim to the name as he also founded the group.
icecolddude96 1 year ago
@icecolddude96 No this was just David and Eddie, the concert was called Dancin in the Streets. The dennis, david, & eddie, didnt start until 1989 after the were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

@golfsmoore This is not The Temptations. It`s just David & Eddie .... along with some guys they hired to sing background. They sound like the Temps because along with Paul, David and Eddie were the heart & soul of the group.

@MayzHughes I'm glad you do know this kind of music, It will always be the kind that is everlasting, the music today is combined with some good stuff and some only good because of studio help, and half the time it is filled with really degrading lyrics. My kids all like today's stuff and I have a few favorites today as well, but I know it does not really compete with music like the "Temptations and other great Motown classics.
65beachgirl 1 year ago
Too bad real music like this will never happen again....too much computer enhancement and auto-tone these days. You don't have to really sing anymore...these days the record deals are all about who you know instead of "real" talent. RIP Motown...
