  • I guess David Ruffin's dick wasn't that big afterall!

  • Kanye West took notes from David Ruffin

  • @adorablebabi LOL that's a good one.

  • 1:02 look how is expression changed lmao.

  • David , Eddie and Paul had the voices and Blue had the rhythm but Ottis was the leader and he was the least talented lol

  • SORRY, BUT DAVID AND EDDIE WERE THE GROUP AND STILL RESPECT TO DENNIS.... DAVID SAID IT BEST YALL ANIT NOTHING WITHOUT ME..

  • @sierria64 true. they sounded better together. even eddie and david didnt sound as good when they left.

  • all they had to do was not sing/leave the stage when he came up there. leave him up there by himself looking like a fool

  • what kind of glasses is david/ leon wearing?

  • ya know he did make the temptations what they were but on the other hand they all did make mistakes i mean i say they shoulda kept him and had him as a back up vocalist but i mean either way they are one of my favorite groups of all time

  • Why is the opening credits showing on part 10?

  • @MissAblue676792 That's because it was probably the original broadcast.

  • @ 0:57 That creepy look David gives them seems like he is up to something!

  • I need you to read this please

  • 1:41 is pretty good symbolism. All are looking forward except Paul, who would be next ex-Temptation.

  • 5:20 - Probably the best and funniest part in anything I've ever seen!!!!!! I loved it!!!!!

  • anyone know the music playing in the beginning when david found out he was fired?

  • LMFAO!!!!!!! I'M DYING OVER HERE.. THAT was HILARIOUS when he took the mic...

  • 1st scene that David and Shelly had together. I'd mistakenly thought it was later in the miniseries.LOL! God bless ya, for postin' it. Have a blessed New Year, everybody!

  • I would love it if there was a video on youtube of a Temptations performance where the real David Ruffin interrupted and started singing.

  • Was I the only one who was a little scared when he started smiling at 0:50? In this day and age someone smiles that, you wanna get the hell out of that window and take some cover.

  • this song is about druigs!!

  • eddie was clean in a mutha!!! lol

  • David has no business gettting mad when he clearly asked for it..

  • the look on melvin's face made me cry when they kicked david off the group

  • david your the real ungreatfull son of a bitch

  • WOOO. I need me some of Denis. :D

  • lov dis movie i grow up watching it

  • one dislike.("DAVID !!!!")

  • @BEiconic1997 that would be funny if he wasnt dead

  • @dradjah well there pretty much all fuckin dead ?: dickhead get a life....!!

  • @BEiconic1997 watever man i dont have time to argue with u like an 11 year old

  • I wish Daid would stop taking over the show like that

  • otis started the group

  • Damn, everybody that saw this movie should read the Temptations biography book that was released in 2010. This movie was mostly fiction. The book explains in detail almost everything that went down and how it REALLY happened. I suggest you buy it if you're a true tempts fan.

  • Yeah david was a dick, but otis was controlling and overbearing... look at the disregard he had for paul williams... fuck just let him freaking go on tour with you, he doesn't have to perform or anything, but the least they could have done was make him feel like he was still a valued member of the group. Also he totally downplayed his affair which resulted in Jo leaving him.

  • @metrociity I swear you sound like my sister with this comment lol. He did just downplayed his affair as if it never happend

  • Comment removed

  • 8:27 i could watch that damn part all night, it'll still be just as funny.

  • @benjamindollar04 I know right! it is funny. He's screaming at them through a glass window.

  • Respond to this video.. Paul is so tragic

  • decades ago my uncle snatched the mic from david! no lie!!

  • with out David Ruffin yall aint nothing. lol

  • What's the song called that David started singing

  • @CountrySideGym Ain't too proud to beg

  • @CountrySideGym aint too proud to beg

  • David was a fool

  • David Ruffin made that group. I saw the movie and it's believable, You can tell that Otis wanted to be the one with all the attention but didn't have the vocals to back it up, wouldn't of hurt them to be called " David Ruffin & The Temptations " yes the man had problems no one is perfect, I wasn't alive when they performed but it's pretty obvious to see that people wanted to not only here but see him sing. R.I.P. David Ruffin

  • 6:05 - 6:08 dennis was in the back doing the dance steps lol

  • 1:36 I always wondered why paul was the only one who turned away

  • @hollinsjr32 it could have been to signal the start of his conflicts inside himself, he was diagnosed with sickle cell so maybe it was a silent signal? Im not sure but int he movie they never really just say thats why Paul would drink, depressed cuz of his illness

  • How do you know this film is factual. Listen to all the hits David made. They could have all the group to be called David Ruffin and the Temptation, like Daina Ross and the Supreme, Smokey and the Miracles, Martha Reeves and the Vandallas. Barry Gordy was the evil one. Money hungry and sided with the mob. Get real. The Temptations were NEVER THE SAME WITHOUT DAVID. Don't be stupid. I know. I lived the era way before and way, way after. Too bad people are SO STUPID.

  • lmao @ 5:19 he snatched that mic smooooov away from him lol

  • Ain't nobody coming to watch you Otis, so true! Paul, Eddie, David, that's who I want to watch even now

  • @gimmyjaycaddy1 OOHH, HOW TRUE THAT IS!! Who the hell would pay money to see Otis standing in the background??

  • @gimmyjaycaddy1 wat about melvin?

  • *you ungrateful son of a BITCHES.!!!!!!!!!!!* LMFAO

  • @kawaiisakura23 THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!

  • Ok.....David was on cocaine....which is a drug that gives you the belief that you are better then everyone else. Thats why he was so egotistical. As for Paul....he had an alcohol problem because he was so stressed and had sickle cell anemia. But the moment that made Paul Williams feel the worst is when Motown decided to stop useing him as a co-choreographer. He was proud of his dancing and that shattered him.

  • Berger:DAVID!!!!

    

  • You're out of the group

  • otis makes it out to seem david is the bad guy in this y is that

  • @TheBigwin3 actually david ruffins family tried to sue otis williams for that reason, but was dropped because otis williams had NOTHING to do with how the movie was made but DID write the book that inspired the movie. i mean there were a couple things that were wrong

    1. david wasnt beaten and thrown out of a car, he was driven to the hospital in his limo and died of a cocaine overdose

    2.paul wasn't a drunk, he had sickle cell anemia, which causes ALOT of pain and drunk to feel better

  • No one can sing, Ain't Too Proud " like David. He wasn't the ego manic everyone thought. When Eddie left, David and Paul showed up at his concerts in support. Otis was more of an ego manic. The group could have done without him, not the other way around.

  • thiss wass goodd as eveaa !!!

  • OMG I can't get enough of this movie. I bought the DVD

    Was looking for the soundtrack audio cd. Haha, I found it -- $200 lmao.

    Hmm, can you all each donate a dollar for my cause? :-D

  • whats is richard doing in the back stage @7:01 lol

  • @CAR105729 He was in shock over David's interference, and when he saw the group trying to hold Otis back from killing him, he helped out too.

  • @DefLeppardVanHalen ok i found out why, he was the sound coordinator of the temptations before he joined the group hired by berry gordy himself :)....i do think Richard was not paid as much attention as he should have

  • I'll give them credit for staying professional onstage to the fans, despite David's interference.

  • Youre forgetting Eddie went solo in the 70's and had 4 number 1's as a solo artist and 15 top 20 R&B hits, he was appearing on Soul Train and he has even been credited for having the first disco record. He was singing classics, he had a much better career than Ruffin. They shouldve given more songs to the other Tempts,thats why Smokey shouldve stayed their producer because he was sharing the leads,and he made sure on the album you got a good amount of Eddie and Paul on the albums singing lead

  • The bottom line is that before David Ruffin the tempts couldn't crack the top 10

  • @Vertigo2903 ,they didnt get the material,remember before The Tempts, Ruffin couldnt crack the top 10 either. DOnt forget Eddie was singing lead on number 1 songs also,something that the movie doesnt touch on

  • @tuzwol That is because David didn't sing lead on anything until My Girl. Then what happened? It was #1.The Way You Do the Things you Do peaked at #11 on the charts. Eddie had 1 #1 which was Just my Imagination and You're my Everything was #2 I think (but David was on that track). Smokey said he wrote My Girl for David because he was a "sleeping giant". The Tempts may have done ok, but they exploded because of Ruffin's voice and stage presence combined with Norman Whitfield/Smokey's songs.

  • @Vertigo2903 ,You're My Everything went number 1 on Cashbox R&B charts, Get Ready went number 1 on R&B, I'm Gonna Make You Love Me went number 1 and Just My Imagination went number 1. They wouldve done more than ok,because of their whole sound,not because of 1 person, Eddie was singing on hits also. Stop letting the movie brain wash you.They had harmonies, their sound as a unit was unique,and was unlike anything heard of back then. Even til this day,their sound remains unique.

  • @Vertigo2903 ,the Tempts have great albums , 8 number 1 albums in a row on the R&B charts,no black artist in the history of R&B music has ever done that. The Tempts had great albums,unfortunately some fans dont know about the albums,and therefore only know half about the Tempts. If you just watch the movie,you just know about Ruffin,but if you listen to their whole body of work,like their albums,you know about the Tempts. The Tempts as a group put on a show,they had stage presence before Ruffin

  • @Vertigo2903 ,David didnt sing My Girl by himself,the other Tempts sing that song as well,Eddie put his stamp on that song as well,with his falsetto,helped make that song legendary,just like the harmonies of Since I Lost My Baby,Eddie stands out in the background sweetening the harmony,like I said, the Tempts had a sound,and when Ruffin got fired they kept on rolling,started taking turns on their songs.

  • @Vertigo2903 ,Smiling Faces Sometimes wouldve probably been another number 1 for Eddie Kendricks,but unfortunately he quit the group to go solo, so because he left,motown didnt release it as a single,but dont forget he shared leads with Dennis and the rest of the Tempts,and his falsetto is heard on Cloud Nine,Runaway Child Running Wild,Psychedelic Shack,Ball of Confusion,Dont Let The Joneses Get You Down,and his falsetto is fueling the harmonies on Ball of Confusion and Psychedelic Shack

  • Eddie couldve sang Since I Lost My Baby, Otis couldve sang My Girl, Paul couldve sung My Baby,they couldve taken turns on their songs like they did on White Christmas or You Make Me So Very Happy. They had 5 lead singers,as was evident when Dennis joined, then The Tempts started being utilized to their full potential,each guy singing a part here and a part there. Ruffin was great, but his departure made Norman realize that he could give each Tempt a line to sing in a song and it would be a hit

  • 1 person has hand spasms

    

  • The guy playing David Ruffin's real name is?

    And what other movies did/does he play in?

    He's awesome!

  • @BlkJag08 Leon thats the guy who played david ruffin

  • @BlkJag08 His name is Leon. He played "JT" in "The Five Heartbeats", "Little Richard" in "Little Richard" he was also in "Waiting to Exhale" , "Cliffhanger" Cool Runnings" "Spirit Lost" and MUCH more. He's also in this new show called "Diary Of a Single Mom"

  • Leon kanyed his mic...lol..hellz na!

  • You gotta give it to David, he don't quit!

  • David pulled a "David",he did this before Kanye was even born

  • @tuzwol i love this statement!!!

  • they went ONSTAGE with a can of PIZZAZZ.....and ran BACKSTAGE with can of WHOOPAZZ!!!!

  • You ungrateful sons of bitches!!!! YallimitationtempswithoutDavid­Ruffn!!!

  • hes the 1 who blew it corn lol he dont sound manly wit the way he sounded

  • leon seems to be in any music remake.....5 heartbeats,temptations,and a few other movies it's like he is the denzeal of music movies lol.

  • i been watching this a long time a go this is so a good

  • This is a classic and I have seen pictures of the "real David Ruffin" and he is not quite as appealing.. Leon always makes his role sexy... No matter what he plays, he is just too sexy.. Cynthia from ATL Housewives is one lucky girl for having his seed..

  • Every group has a star, rather its Beyonce, Justin T or David Ruffin. Thats how it works. Leon killed this movie. He is so sexy, was the real David Ruffin this cute? I love "Aint too Proud to beg"?

  • saddest part :'(

  • CLOUD NINE IS MY JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­MMM!!!!! 

  • DAVID RUFFIN WAS TO SELFISH AND ARROGANT U CAN NEVER BE BIGGER THAN THE GROUP

  • @Heartless409 Yeah David was on alot of ego shit. 

  • @Heartless409 he begged to be let back in , what about the promeise to be a temp for life, I think Otis was the jealous one .with an ego

  • @Heartless409 he begged to be let back in , what about the promeise to be a temp for life, I think Otis was the jealous one .with an ego

  • @domdomsworldinc No guy otis was the glue that held the temptations together ever one has to paly there role on the team David Ruffin ego and drugs made him think he was bigger than the group thats y they let him go and he was always and will be a temp for life.

  • @Heartless409 yes buht the was not shyt before him and they aint shyt without him... yeah denniss was good buht he wasnt david,, he culdnt hold a note to david....

  • @Heartless409 yea but can you honestly say they would have peaked the way they did without david?

  • I thought I would die laughing when the guy just knew he was going to sing lead on the song "Ain't too proud to beg", and out of the shadows come David Ruffin. lol

  • why is there no part 8. That's where all the best parts are

  • PAUL LOOKED SO PRETTY WHEN HE WAS POPPIN AWWWWW I REALLY DO WISH THEY WAS ALL STILL ALIVE TEMPTATIONS FORVEVER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  • @weezybabi18075

    YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME CRY ABOUT THEM

  • GOOD RIDDANCE TO A COKED UP, EGOMANIACLE, SELFISH, IGNORANT, ASSHOLE!

  • he's done

  • When Denis came up on the screen I was like, "WOOOOH! GO BROTHER DENIS WITH YOUR CUTE SELF!" LOLZ! I'm just silly like that.

  • something I noticed: at 1:40 you can kinda see who's next to go-- Paul (who turns his head cuz he's right after David; forced to retire, then dies), then Eddie (quit, then died), then Melvin (died).

    just thought I'd point that out...

  • @KhaelaCH Yeah I always noticed that too, and I always thought the same thing also.

  • Go Shelly lol on cloud nine

  • what is the name of the song that paul sings at the piano?

  • YEAH David was sad he got fired.

  • you ungrateful son of a bitches!!!

  • Did anyone else notice that the background music switches from the original recording to the live version from 6:53 to the end of the song?

  • @SJRogers Yeah!!! ;)

  • LOLZ when it said the Temptations on the mic. I was like, it's part 10 and your just know putting the title up there?! We already know what it is now!

  • 1:42 I Love It! picture moment!

  • you ain't no temptation no more

  • you can do me like this

  • you're done

  • You fake imatation with out David Ruffin right before they pull him round the corner OMG The best oneliner ever ha ha.

  • LOL Paul is like maan i dnt know wat to to say rite now.

  • Funny to see Eddies' face expression when David sings. Seems like he's happy 'bout it. :)

  • Poor David. If only he didn't have such an inflated ego, right, gang?

  • David jus dn't give up do he?

  • @CoryT9783 try to buy the book "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" by Mark Ribowski. It gives in depth detail about the history of the Temptations. A lot more than was put in the movie. I brought it from Barnes and Noble, and I love it. After reading it, you develop a greater love for the temptations story. Also, if you search it in "google books" there's a free sample up to chapter 4.

  • You ain't no Temptation no more!! 7:49 I laugh at that line so many times sorta

  • David pulled the orignal "Kanye" by snatching the mic from Dennis~LOL!

  • @marlastewart i think thats where kanye west got his ego from

  • @cremeakajuici thats where kanye west steps in from davids rage and says imma let u finish but these guys were pretty awesome before u came alone

  • @marlastewart so you mean kanye pulled the david ruffin

  • David was wrong, but no matter how angry they felt (in actuality they all wanted him out the group except eddie) it still hurt them, because deep down that was still like their brother

  • aawwwww he has not change you should have saw his face i think he was crying in side...

  • i wldve slapped dat nigguh for takin mah mike

  • Don't let em see you cry David

  • Love the background song that is playing in the scene when David gets fired

  • this movie had one major flaw. NO I WISH IT WOULD RAIN?

  • LOL!!! 8:10 THAT OLD MAN TO THE LEFT IS STRUGGLING!!! BUHAHAHA!!!

  • without out david ruffin u aint nthin yall some fake ass tempts

  • DAVID RUFFIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahah

  • Never let em see you cry David....RIP to one of the greats

  • The way he comes out clapping, love that part

  • without David Ruffin ya'll some fake azz temps lmbo!!!

  • I think Leon's expression at :55 says everything that David Ruffin was feelin' at

    that moment, along with Terron Brooks' (Eddie Kendricks) sympathetic stare.

  • Lol Shelly gettin' it in 3:34! :D

  • @LuvRMadly27 i thought it was funny

  • because the temps where going down hill so they all splite up because they werent making any money hardy because there music was going down hill

  • Laughing my ass off @ Shelly Berger and Richard Street getting down at right around the 3:34 point of the video!!!!!!!!.

  • lmao @ 8:27 YOU FAKE IMITATIONS WITHOUT (real fast) DAVID RUFFIN!

  • The guy playing Eddie (Terron Brooks) has an AMAZING voice! Look him up online!

  • @Monaray1 i think he the only one who actually song

  • Comment removed

  • Both Blue and Dennis were looking @ David like... "Oh, if there weren't thousands of witnesses here...." while Eddie was the only one who could keep smiling! haha!

  • 1:16 "he goin cry in tha car."-Chris Tucker. lmfao!

  • @cami725 Me and my hubby said that SAME thing when we first saw this movie on that part lol, it soooo fits!!!

  • @cami725 lmao that was a great one, thumbs up for that!!!!!

  • he looks so psychotic. lol.

  • all i can say is GROOVY.peaceDES

  • Otis wanted to whup that ass BAD!!! LMAO!!

  • Lol "David im sorry but chu got ta go" xD

  • I love the smile Mr. Ruffin gives them before he turns around. Once again his big ego won't let them see him crack. Frontin' for them. You saw his vulnerability and fear in his face when turned from them. Despite the ego and substance abuse, I love David Ruffin. He's such a talented and gifted man.

  • 8:30 danggggg i fell out of my chair laughing at that part lmaoo!

  • did yall read dennis lips when david snatched the remot...he said that muthafucka lol..i laugh everytime i see dat part

  • it cute and hilarious how blue pronounces his words correctly, in moments when the average person would say "Now u rememba dat!" lol

  • @Meedifyufosho88 Ha, I thought I was the only one who noticed Blue's "crisp diction." LOL!
