The Temptations-Paradise

[SuperJazzymusic]

beautiful music.

[KrazyTtv]

im only 14 and i love this song and the Temptations

[TheMackado]

P.S. Ruffin is not wearing glasses on this cover, but it's him. Ruffin also sang background before he even joined the group and he played the drums for them prior to joining. Not much I don't know about Ruffin.

[dienglee]

@TheMackado 'Meet the Temptations' was recorded mainly in 1963. Ruffin was not on 'Paradise'. The only song recorded in 1964 and the only song David Ruffin appears on is 'The Way You Do the Things You Do', recorded in 1964. Ruffin was not with the Temps at all before 1964 though he was placed on the album cover. Only the Funk Brothers played in the studio for all Motown acts. Ruffin did play drums earlier in his career, but never for the Temptations.

[TheMackado]

MotownMaster, David Ruffin is right on the front cover of this album, Meet the Temptations, Farewell my Love, Slow Down Heart, some of the other songs on there, and the Temptations voices were always polished, Eddie was just young on this cut. Even David Ruffin's voice changed a weee bit as they aged, but they were like fine wine, just got better with time. I'm by no means trying to put you down because this is a great post- However Ruffin was there. Pull it up on You Tube, Bless you!

[tedkay]

This was the Tempts sound before they became polished ! Eddie did not quite have the control he eventually accomplished!~ But it stills sounds great!~ This is them at their rawest! And it's still not a singing group to even come close EVER to 5 of the greatest male singers in one group! ladies and gentlemen I'm David and these,Oops! I mean we are! the TEMPTATIONS!!~ I saw them on 2-10-11 in Baltimore! Otis still doing his thing after 50 years! And they sounded GREAT!~ Harmony still very TIGHT!

[MotownMaster]

@tedkay Paradise was before David Ruffin, Al Bryant was still in the group

[b4jad]

Thanks for the info. I didn't know this was in response to the four seasons. It makes sense with Eddies beautiful voice !

[rainMINAJ98]

I AM TWELEV AND i love the Temptations.. I wish there could be more music like this!

[a1992aron]

his vocie is so different you can tell he was young

[macewindu67]

Naw its like they was trying to do surfing music or some bull shit. Wasnt I want a love I can see pre david ruffin?

[Alvin3268]

David wasn't with them on that song from the album meet the temptations.

[a1992aron]

@Alvin3268 only on the way you do the things you do

[DJDrScott]

Sounds kind of like Nathaniel Mayer "Village of Love" to me.

[DJDrScott]

Sounds kind of like Nolan Strong and The Diablos " Village of Love".

[sweetmocha008]

Eddie Kendrick = The Godfather of the Falsetto

[Chicago10281]

If you were down to your last dollar, would you buy this 1962 record or sandwich?

[ToodlyPoo13]

Wen he hit dhat high not istarted screamin

[chibihahn]

in the movie when they said this song wasn't a hit i thought " are you serious? they'd rather buy a sandwich than to buy this record?" haha.

[scootigger]

it was like would they rather eat then have this record RIGHT NOW. I mean, eventually they would have bought it but at that moment... like if it was "Papa was a Rolling Stone" they probably were all forgetting about the damn sandwich. lol

[mattjc882002]

We had several amazing studio singers dub voices for Leon and Charles Malik as well as the Dennis Edwards character. It was not automatic that we would really sing the parts, I guess the producers got lucky that some of us were real singers"

[mattjc882002]

this is from terron brookes website who played eddie in the film

"Did the other actors in The Temptations" movie do their own singing?

Christian Payton, who played Paul Williams, did all his own singing. DB Woodside, who played Melvin Franklin, layered most of his vocals. "Blue" sang so low that it was a challenge to get his full range.

[tuzwol]

this song did make the pop charts when it was released

[Chicago10281]

This was featured in the 1998 "Temptations" movie! Terron Brooks did an excellent Eddie Kendricks!

[kaliedoscopesharinga]

only eddies guy sung a little but there were a lot of parts were they just lip sung

[kaliedoscopesharinga]

No terron brooks sand look him up.

[kaliedoscopesharinga]

YEAH HE DID

[hollidayevery]

Terron Brooks did sing Eddie Kendricks's parts...Terron is a friend of mine and an amazing singer...HE SANG FOR THE MOVIE...Stop talking about what you don't know (He said nicely)...

[iamsuchacard]

@hollidayevery no he only sang one or two times you can tell because of the way his voice sound along with everybody elses. if you cant tell listen to blue when he sings then you can really tell

[sweetmocha008]

@iamsuchacard

I am going to have to disagree. I am pretty sure Terron sang the parts in Oh Mother of Mine, Get Ready, Psychadelic Shack, and I Can't Get Next to You. If I were a betting woman, I would definitely bet a benji that he sang Just My Imagination, because there was a minor slip up with the lyrics. Hollidayevery is very correct, Terron Brooks has an amazing voice, and I don't know him from Adam's house cat... you should look him up though.

[iamsuchacard]

i said one or two times but he did sing just my imagination but he di not sing all of them is what im sayiing

[HaliB75]

@sweetmocha008 You are right. I posted this above.

[peepz92]

[MotownMaster]

no David joined sometime between December 27th 1963 and December 31st 1963

[Chicago10281]

That's about the time they kicked Al Bryant out of the group because he fought with Paul Williams

[Daryl673]

no, thats not why he got kicked out. alot of stuff that happened in the movie didnt really happen

[jwheaton33]

It was dec 31st 1963

[LILM1996]

[mackjaysta601]

[ThomasAjt]

[chgosatrap]

love this~!

[MotownMaster]

the b-side is "Slow Down Heart"

[robsenter2007]

It's amazing that this great song didn't become an instant hit. What's the B side of this record.

[pinaygirl10]

the tempts are great even though i wasn't alive in that entire era. I think they're way better than what kids my age listen to. I'm an old person at heart. :)

[aotearoablossom]

Yeah girl, me young too and I have to agree. Todays stuff is rubbish!!

Being old at heart is cool, im feelin ya!!

[deadgoose1]

Would you please upload "Slow Down Heart" ?

This a-side is one of the best songs I ever heard..

[Chicago10281]

What's the release number on this one and release date and recording date? Just curious!

[Chicago10281]

Even though I was a year old in 1962 when this song was out, it must have been a great(if not great)hit for the Temptations and wasn't Al Bryant singing on this one(Eddie Kendricks doing lead vocals)

[MotownMaster]

The b-side to this is "Slow Down Heart" one of my favorite songs that Paul sings lead on

[GlassOnion921]

Love this song. "Meet The Temptations" are one of their most under-rated albums

[deadgoose1]

Amazing.. thanks for uploading!

[shyphyre]

I like this song also.

It is also on the Temptations debut album, "Meet the Temptations".

[podmixture]

good song! became even more popular ever since the movie "The Temptations" aired on tv.

[eskay67]

Eddie Kendricks at his best...May he R.I.P
