May I Have This Dance - The Temptations

[Renaissanceman1000]

For anyone who has any doubt, listen to Eddie's solo works, 'This Used To Be The Home Of Johnny Mae', and 'If You Let Me'.

[Renaissanceman1000]

I've always said that Al sounds like Eddie, in the background. I've always found that fascinating about the Tempts in general, especially on this song. Go listen to the Tempts singing 'I Want a Love I Can See' (Live)'. There's a heated debate over there. Come join us. However, this is definitely Eddie. How could anyone think otherwise. His vocal styles, and riffs, and the rasp he had in his falsetto voice. C'mon people.

[JERRiCKKABaBy]

@Renaissanceman1000 yeah that's what I was saying you can tell, plus it was cleared up that this was him long ago. He never really liked singing inhis upper register at first, but that was what was needed for the group and it became his signature sound so many people don't expect him to sing in his natural voice, but when you hear him its amazing

[JudyGale1]

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ALBUMS....WAITING FOR THE EQUIPMENT THAT CONVERTS ALBUMS TO CD PRICES TO DROP......

[tedkay]

Only Two lead Singers at this stage of the Tempts, and that was Paul Williams and the great Eddie Kendricks!~I was shocked as well listening to this over and over because i heard Eddie in this Nautral and i like some others was also saying maybe this is Al , then i kept listening and her cleared it up when he took that beautiful sweet tenor into the heavens!~ but if you think about it ,listen to the home of Johnnie Mae! he took it there on a few on his first Solo Album,brother could Blow!~

[KTAZYAKALMM]

this eddie real voice i loooooooooooove it

[tuzwol]

this sounds like AL

[TheRaymondc11]

Clyde was Eddie's influence!!

[dienglee]

Maybe this is Al on lead...you guys don't know. He is listed as lead in the credits.

[LisaNicoleLopes]

@dienglee They Said That Al Is Credited As The Lead But Eddie Sung Lead & Al Didnt Sing On This Song

[MagnusTheSnake]

Eddie's natural voice is pleasant, but unremarkable. He really shines as a lead, but this is a nice little song.

[srercrcr]

This was released as a single, but dropped like a rock

[sloaed1]

Love this song. It is definatley hot. These brothers could sing and they could sing anything from rb rock and roll and even cole porter and the such on up to Paul Robeson Old man rive.

[botvinnik64]

Classiest Group of all time-only Smokey and The Miracles come close...

[JUAREZ1872]

EDDIE KENDRICKS ITS WONDERDUL, NO ONE SOUND LIKE HIM, GLENN OR DAMON HARRIS ONLY, ARE IMITATIONS, MAY BE SOUND A LITTLE , LIKE EDDIE BUT, THE VOICE´S EDDIE ITS STRONG, SOFT, BUT POWERFUL!

[jagexisthedevil]

Hey guys I need an honest opinion. Say your in an MMA cage what would you think of your opponent if he were to use this as his entrance music??? 

[JUAREZ1872]

HEY IN THIS RECORD THERE ANY SONG THAT SING ELBRIDGE BRYANT?

[qwertymanor]

It's Eddie, just hear when he transitions from his natural voice to falsetto.

[rudielor]

@qwertymanor That does it, no mistaken that tenor!!

[JERRiCKKABaBy]

Eddie sounds exquisite on this song he had such range. And for the people saying this is Al its not everyone knows that. Al sang this live a few times but for the record Eddie recorded it. the people got it wrong on the album.

[tbeane507]

This is Al on Lead.

[a1992aron]

this is Al check the Album info it tells you

[MotownMaster]

@a1992aron this is Eddie, there are no studio leads with Eldridge

[a1992aron]

@MotownMaster yea i after listing to my pillow i noticed its kind of strange because on the album its says Al's on lead

[Renaissanceman1000]

@a1992aron Which album was that?

[Renaissanceman1000]

@a1992aron The album says nothing of the sort. The album says that "anyone is capable of singing lead, as they do on this album", but that's just to make a point about their versatility. Otis doesn't sing lead, except where he sings intro on 'Check Yourself', for a few bars. Al did not take any leads.

[tuzwol]

This is Eddie Kendricks singing in his natural voice

[3rdWard420]

this is fuckin Al singin... he was da lead singer til they replaced him wit David Ruffin cuz he got fucked up too much... Eddie come in at the end. I'm 21 and I know this shit.

[totaly52]

@3rdWard420 That is Eddie on lead not AL. Al was a backup singer, and when David replaced him David was a backup singer, until Smokey wrote "My Girl" for David. Before David became lead, Eddie was doing most of the leads.

[MAGNAUNDERCOVER]

@3rdWard420 Apparently not because if you did you would know that this is Eddie Kendricks singing!

[tinaloveseddie]

@3rdWard420 Heyyy there...Sorry but this IS Mr. Eddie Kendricks..singing lead..in his natural tenor voice...trust me babyyyyy I know this!! =)

[ASHLEY4500]

for some reason eddie kendricks sounds like katt williams singing in a lower key.

[gregoriosr1]

as long as it's the temps...

gregoriosr1

[MAGNAUNDERCOVER]

eddie so rarely sang in his normal tenor voice most don't recognize him but this is him

Not much attention was payed to this song because it was not a hit

[youyong28]

His natural voice is terrific. What a fabulous range! He was my absolute favorite Temptation.

[Spadesz93]

Oh man, Eddie is sooo sexy!

[totaly52]

WOW ! i JUST LOVE THAT MAN'S TENOR. Very talented - I love it when he sings in his tenor voice and his falsettos.

[Lorenzo1950]

He goes into falsetto at the end. One of my all time favorite Motown songs.

[har40shei]

THIS IS EDDIE!!! OMG!!! i couldn't even tell!!! he sounds so nice,it makes me want 2 cry cuz i miss him so much!!!

[TemptationsFan1995]

I miss him too!

[jaha3us]

[itsddt]

al was fired by 1963

[MotownMaster]

@itsddt Al was fired December 31, 1963

[itsddt]

[itsddt]

@MotownMaster no he wasnt,,,it was after midnight,, which would consider the date january 1st

[TheTemptationsFan]

[ginasaqueen]

in alll these years never knew that was Eddie

[TemptationsFan1995]

Really?

[djbman81]

@TemptationsFan1995 , Eddie was a tenor who happened to have a nice falsetto voice. This is one of the songs where he was able to sing in his natural tone.

[bufb]

Eddie does sound like Cylde Mcphatter

this is a great song wow

[TemptationsFan1995]

Cool.

[JUAREZ1872]

@bufb EDDDIE SOUND LIKE EDDIE KENDRICKS, NO MORE NO LESS PAL

[rowland0]

doesn't Eddie sound like Clyde Mcphatter on this song? try listening to Eddie singing" Each day I cry a little" , tell me, is there any way he could sound any sweeter?oh! this song is under Eddie Kendricks Jerri

[TemptationsFan1995]

A little bit.

[dwbyan]

i love this song!! eddie was a bad sexy man. just to hear him in his natural tenor voice was really nice and to hear that eddie falsetto at the end of the song was so cool!!! tks for posting.

[TemptationsFan1995]

I'm happy to help!

[psylves3733]

who is singing lead on this?

[TemptationsFan1995]

It's Eddie, just singing in a lower tone.

[tuzwol]

Yeah he's singing in his natural tenor voice

[TemptationsFan1995]

Yep.
