The Temps might have won grammys with Dennis singin lead, after David Ruffin left, but if you ask people, which songs they recognize, it's those with David singing lead. My Girl is a prime example.
Everyone seems to have epic voices except Otis. Yet Otis is the driving force behind most of the band's decisions. My ideal temptations: Paul williams, eddie kendricks, david ruffin, blue (melvin franklin) and Al (Elbridge Bryant)... the only problem would be trying to get them to all get along lol

@liacashmere58 The Supremes song Reflections means that drugs reflect euthanization of healthy animals. Like heroin, street name is horse. Slaughtered mustangs in Nevada, the Battle-born state. Nevada Day is Halloween. So see all the disasters in Nevada and make the connection. The movie The Pledge about a serial killer opens with wild mustangs in Nevada.
Maybe may have been a prick (I think the movie exaggerates it), but man what an amazing singer/talent. Marvin Gaye even admitted he had a better voice. When MG says that you know you're good.His stage presence may be in the top ten of all time in music history.
I LOVE MI SUM PAUL ..!! HE BE DANCIN' HIS BUTT OFF AND HAD A POWERFUL VOICE DATX WHY HE MY FAV... I DONT LIKE OTIS AT ALL HE NEVA HAD A SOLO AND HE ALWAYS TRYIN TO KICK SUMONE OUT DA GROUP ... HE WUZ LAME AND HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUT DA GROUP ... HOW DARE HE HURT PAUL FEELIN'S PAUL ... I CRIED WEN HE DIED ALL BECUZ OF OTIS DA DREAM KILLER ..!!!!
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it lol
IDGAF how much david loved himself! He was making hits! the best hits from the temptations profile! not all that great without mr.ruffin! paul and eddie were great as well. Blue too but he was otis lil minion so fuck umm!
ya but not that much succes with david they cloud have been the biggest group in the world they was only the biggest black group so they whould have done better with david
I was lmao when Flynn strolled in saying he was David's manager...the spotlight part had me dying when I first saw this when it originally aired. It never gets old!!!
i think the temps could have been bigger if david would have styed focus and hadnt go tied up with drugs he had such a great voice its a shame what happen to him
i dont know about yall, but Christian Payton was getting it boy!! lol, he had Paul Williams down-packed cuz looking at the Temptations live shows, Paul really was that energetic....i wish there was still music like this around..i'm only 18 and i only listen to music like this...the oldies, gotta love'em
David was one cocky muthafucka(lmao). look at David @ 5:52 to 5:55 he like "yah, i'm one slick nigga." @ 7:26 to 7:28 tht was nice! && @ 7:42 look at Paul he was feeling tht shit you cn see tha look on his face.
@CLM531 chill tha fuck out. everyone has a rite to thier own opinon. so what? old folks say tha same thing, so you wrong for seprating tha young & old folks like tht.
david and eddie were the group, esp david if u listen to their biggest songs david sings more than eddie, he was kinda a punk but you gotta remember he was on drugs and drugs can change a person
@theShowStopper321 Depends on what clip you watch. Theres one medly they do where they begin with Girl Why You Wanna make me Blue and ends it with "I'm Losing You" and David spins and tosses the mic while doing splits . There was also a clip of him doing Aint To Proud to Beg with him doing the same.
@CHollaMusic That's because the sound system is better now, and singers are way more flamboyant now then they were in the 60s. But as amazing as these guys sound now the real temps sounded just as good to the people who grew up with them in the 60s, when their sound was fresh and new. Now in retrospect we look back and think they're not as good vocally as some singers have been since, but they were truly revolutionary in their day. Michael Jackson copied and perfected dance moves from Ruffin.
@oldgateway Ruffin was better. He had an AMAZING range. I don't think Leon could hit those high notes that Ruffin did on "I'm Losing You." You tube the temps singing it and listen to David. Amazing!!!! Leon is more flamboyant, though.
@theShowStopper321 ,that was a different performance,this was a re-enactment of the copa performance,but Cholly Atkins told David not to move around as much.He cut down David's movements
@theShowStopper321 Actually he does. In the first performance in 1966, David went and danced around a lot. So I dont know if Dave stopped moving, but all on the big performances he used to move around. So I dont get why it would stop at concerts. Leon did a great job anyway.
well,if it was my group i would've kicked bhim out too,because he's not showing at the rehersals or the meetings because he's either A.sleeping with someone or B.getting high or C.doing both,it's a group effort and if he wanted to be in the group he knew what his responsibilities were,yeah he has a good voice but it takes more then having a good voice.It also takes motivation,determination,courage,practice and more...They made the right decision if you ask me.
@jondizoe2008 David Ruffin stands as one of The Worlds Greatest Singers..Not just my opinion but, one shared with Rolling Stone Magazine as was published in 2008! Ruff was a musical genius to those of us who not only listen with our ears..But, with our very souls!!
@jondizoe2008 Temps were great together,no doubt..Having David just made them Greater! There are many fans who disassociated from the temps when he left..They know who they are..and I assure you there are many of us!!
@jous1rufn David was a great singer, but he became too full of himself, and he was a junkie. I would of cut him too, because the Temptations still would of had success without him.
