  • I love these guys. I hung out with Eddie and David one night in New York City.They were real nice and friendly. Im Bruce Mineo. I put out some acapella videos on You Tube. My Girl is a tribute to the fabulous Temptations. Check it out on Brucevob.Hope you enjoy.

  • Man this is so Real

  • can hear their great voice quality in acapella mode, sounds better. This is the one song that everyone seemed to like the most, was never one of my favorites until I heard this version.

    Thanks!

  • Love it! :D

  • And I didn't think they could blow my mind even more but thank you, this is genius and I'm lucky you shared it! I gotta tell some folks who will have their jaws dropped in awe!

  • However this was put together 9or taken apart :) ) I do like the accapella feel. Great clip here.

  • TopCommemt has it about right This is nomal stuff. "Normal" being one way to look at it. Completely werd would be another way. Up to you.

  • still good even without the music ,still good.we miss you guys .

  • sounds like round tha way back in the day on the corner under the streetlite with a fifth of t-bird and a couple joints....classic!!!

  • I grew up on this music! wow it was great.

  • nasci na época errada...penso sempre nisto quando escuto estas musicas e vejo que tudo era mais puro...sinto saudades do q não vivi...

  • Simplesmente sensacional...lindo.....

  • 3 people don't have sun shine on a cloudy day.

  • CTFXC & WTK FTW!!!!!!

  • It sounds sooo cool this way. How'd you do it?

  • amooo demais!!Brasil!

    

  • mann they just dont make music like this now a days. i wish i was around when the temptations were out and better yet when smokey robinson was in his prime

  • WAIT this is not mindless behavior MB YALL

  • @babysweet2011 wow...

  • Just glad to have been born in the DETROIT in 1954. And grew up on 12th street' Only one mile from motown. LONG LIVE MOTOWN>

  • Os manos dão SHOW E HUMILHAM.QUALIDADE E COMPETENCIA.

  • Sounds like Bob Marley =)

  • my GOSH david ruffin can't flat lay it down.

  • muito muito muito bom mesmo os cara cantavam dmais,

  • what EV ... these dudes can SING.

  • what can i say great song with or without music great group

  • still sounds good!

  • you can hear the individual roles of their voices..great one!

  • My favorite song ever.

  • notice they were not allowed to look at the crakkas in the face. Geez.

  • PRA TARDE FICAR MAIS DELICIOSA!!! MY GIRL!! YOUR GIRL!! BJO DO TIO!

  • the 3 people who disliked this have bad taste in music

  • @theontherise Or maybe they disliked it for the uploader's dickish comment.

  • Are you kidding me , how great is this, my Temps, My God, forever Temps

  • It doesn't get better than this.

  • magnifique ces voix me feront toujours réver

  • SUPERB!! NOBODY DOES ACAPELLA BETTER!! WHAT A TREAT! Thanks dynamite8503!

  • you knuckleheads,this is to show the vocal excellence of the classic 5,yes we know this is the vocal track,if The Tempts did an acapella version it would sound even better, so just shut up about it not being a real acapella,this is to showcase their vocal talents,so just enjoy the damn song or get off the page

  • i dont understand why youtube would even bother putting a dislike button on this video

  • The point about this great cut is that these men are the best vocal group of their kind the world has ever seen. Try finding something to equal their brilliance anywhere on YouTube.

  • what is the strange noise on 1:31 after david's "woooohhooo"

  • @bbpatrol A dying cow.

  • to all the youngsters of today......ATTENTION: THIS IS WHAT REAL MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE....NO AUTO TUNE  JUST PURE TALENT......Todays music cant even touch these guys coat tail........CRAZY HARMONY

  • man how nice why could'nt ibe born in that era.1983sperm all i got is i dont know era it all depends what state you grow up in

  • This is NOT fake, and the sound was not muted. It's a bonus track off of one of the CDs in the "Emperors of Soul" boxset.

  • vocal/harmony legends...all of them could (and did) sing lead, AND harmonize to (pretty much) perfection.

  • for those who dont know the temptations made acapella record alot of the records of many artist of the golden age of rnb had acapella version of their songs on the side b of their 45s i know alot of you young people wont know about that

  • GOSH Eddie was fine as hell.

  • This demonstrates the vocal greatness of the temptations

  • david ruffin is the man

  • Technically, as a matter of orthodox musical parlance, this performance is not a capella. But who cares? Does anyone doubt these men could have done just as well without instruments backing them? Isn't it obvious their mastery did not need instrumental backing?

  • Awesome talent. No autotune needed like with today's artists. Artists of today need to get a pad and a pen and take careful notes on how to vocalize from The Temps.

  • An example of timing and vocal clarity

  • WOW....thats all this needs

  • OMG!!! why do people choose a temptations video to argue in. youtube....home of the internet tough guys, but really go argue in a video that doesnt matter. maybe a lil wayne video or a t-pain video.

  • This version seems to be comprised of the original vocal tracks with the instrumental tracks muted.  The feint music you hear in the background would be the slight 'bleed' from the headphones that the singers had on (allowing them to hear the music) while they sang into the microphone. Since recording mics are very sensitive, it will pick up a little of the sound coming from the headphone mix that the singer is hearing in his headphones.

  • @guitaralph Have you ever had sexual intercourse?

  • What instruments in the back round?

  • @arden612 I you listen closely, you can hear the instruments in the back. This is not really an a cappella recording; what you hear is the voices of the original recording with the instruments being drowned out... But still it shows how good these guys were.

  • I love this a capella version of My Girl. This take some talent.

  • @smokeyvelvet42 wow really? this was the version on the CD that it came off of. so stop the bull shit yourself and just enjoy the freaking song!

  • @smokeyvelvet42 first of all I'm a chick. and 2nd of all your commenting on MY video and have the nerve to tell me that no further comments are necessary! u can go f*ck urself! and that's how the cookie crumbles!

  • @smokeyvelvet42 ur an ass. and that came out of a WOMANS mouth!

  • @smokeyvelvet42 Why don't ya'll just shut up and enjoy the music.

  • @mdwhite64 i agree who cares what they think how the video was made.

  • @smokeyvelvet42

    welll actually before opening your mouth smokey there is not instruments at all actually its their fingers snapping you dumbass

  • @smokeyvelvet42 Shut the fuck up and enjoy the video.

  • @EazyE275 Who the hell are you, the village idiot ? or the court jester ?

  • Comment removed

  • @smokeyvelvet42 Your Father, now shut up.

  • @EazyE275 As I assumed the village idiot, no further comment.!!

  • @smokeyvelvet42 Please dont try. Its obvious you dont have a life, so dont ruin others.

    No further comment.

  • You seem to have problems communcating in the english language. Check what your write before submitting it moron. Your subjective command of english explains your use of profanity when expressing yourself. You need to be admitted in an institution asap. I do not suffer fools gladly !!!!!! Good day sir !! no further comment necessary.

  • Skycraper 31 Yeah, just take your sorry ass back to the projects where you belong, you cramp my style fool !!!! you're a pathetic example of a so called gansta who isn't capable of submitting a coherent sentence. Don't you feel bad a 31 year old junkie hanging around kindergarten trying to get a jones !!!!!

  • Skycraper31,You can't be doing that much better, judging by what you submitted. Who the hell are you bull shiting you had to look the word up college in the dictionary in order to spell it. Quit shucking and jiving with your sorry ass, the only college you attended was on the street corner liquor store. If that is the best your so called college can offer nigga you are in trouble, I ain't lying !! You better go back to the projects eating holes out of doughnuts lol..... Jive Turkey !!!

  • so you do live with your mom...and mighty brave person will talk shit on the web. do you even had the guts to say all that to my face...i tell you what go out back put a loaded 44 to your head and make the world a better place :)

  • Skycraper31, you aint bad, the only thing that's bad about you is your breath. So quit talking out of your ass cause your mouth knows better. I talk that talk and I sure the hell walk that walk, if you are feeling bad then bring your sorry funky behind down here in LA, I got something for your punk a-- !!! I'm located just off central in Watts !! Let see if you can walk that walk !!!

  • cute son real cute...first i don't go to bitches, they come to me. so if you ever around gainesville fl. holla at me. second do you really even live in l.a.? like i said a might brave person talks shit on the web...people like you make me laugh

  • for the love of god get a life.

  • What the hell is that suppose to mean !!! Get a life ? We have a lack of communication here !!

  • for some reason this sounds better without instruments. It just sounds like it had alot more soul into it

  • lol eddie and otis are so cute when they were looking at eachother laughing, when otis was a half second late on the move at 'what'. and david singing is so perfect. i love them all !

  • @ langdonboy08, when you say, jump in the air if u just don't care, are you talking about OutKast's lyrics to ATLiens, (Now throw your hands in the air. And wave em like you just don't care)? I know I'll probably get a thumbs down for saying this...again, but I love OutKast, the best of rap/hiphop, even if you don't like that genre. But please be kind, I do love the Temps just as much.

  • i got sunshine on a cloudy day!classic line

    not fkn jump in the air if u just dont care fk offf!my cheriie amor buety than a milky way!!why cant mordern music be like that

    in stead of saying put your hands up in the air all the time!lol

  • Hey no need to debate or argue a cappella or not they should re-make every Motown song like this and they would sell like hot cakes all over again. I own all the big hits and I would definitely buy these new versions all over again, that's how good they are. Hey dynamite8503 thanks for posting and keep it up and maybe you can convince Berry to re-issue all of these new versions A CAPPELLA style. What say you out there in You Tube Land!!

  • yeah motown needs to release all of the vocal tracks,I'm with you on that. We need more acapellas released, I dont understand what the secret is,just release the acapellas

  • hey thanks for agreeing with me, maybe a new generation of motown fans will push someone to go a cappella on those awesome hits that could get a re-birth. Heck they might even re-chart on the billboard surveys once again, at least I think so,

  • dinamite 8556 : gracias vales mil

  • WOW!!!!!

  • WOW!!!

  • This isn't a cappella at all, you just made the instruments softer?

  • your right I didn't make this, that's how it came on the CD. jeez stop being a douche and enjoy the f*ckin song

  • Comment removed

  • You're a twat.

  • @dynamite8503 These stripped down versions are great to listen to and pick up all the nuances to this beautiful song. These guys were a profile in excellence and talent who absolutely nailed this song. They have helped to make our culture better and more beautiful. What's not to enjoy? Ups for posting this. Marvin Gaye's version of this is great as well, and was a Norman Whitfield production, which included Jimi Hendrix inspired wah wah guitar that gave it a dark funky edge. Thanx for sharing.

  • It is a cappella, the background noise is from there headsets.

  • This is the vocal track that motown released.If they did this acapella it woud sound even greater,which is amazing because this song already sounds incredible

  • @ph03nixfire47 ... cause he was able to get the tracks from motown? hahahaha! they really wouldn't release the raw tracks for some regular person to remix...

  • @ph03nixfire47 That's what they do nowadays, it's IMPOSSIBLE to rip VOCALS from songs but you can EQ and mess with the waves to decrease the instruments. Resulting in the video above.

  • @ph03nixfire47 it really doesnt matter. stop trolling on the video because it came off a cd. go troll on ya motha cuz shes the only that like it. shell be waiting under the bridge for ya!

  • @ph03nixfire47 shut up you're watching this guys shit for free

  • Thanks for uploading

  • Yes back in the 60th Motown had alot of powerful groups. But The Temptations were so fantastic they were unbelievable. Thanks.

  • I am a 16 year old and i cant get enough of the temptations thry were so great

  • I had to make one more comment. Starting at about 1:28 those steps are awesome!! I've been watching this video over and over. I'm 47 years old and the temptations...the harmony, steps etc...CLASSIC. Its validated so well in this video! Thanks again, and you and your music are dynamite for real!!

  • Thanks!!! Love it!!
