Eddie still had his falsetto working at this time, it was so sad to hear his voice being lost to cancer, I knew something was wrong with him at the appollo with hall and oates and david, these 2 guys were the SH~~~~~T, that it took to shake up the world of music and they did it!!!! RIP~~DAVID AND EDDIE.......
Outstanding how they harmonize..and just fit together like hand and glove. I miss them so much. Can't be touched. In their prime. Temptations....Forever!!!
I couldn't believe that this album didn't get the airplay that this song deserved. This album would have put DAvid And EDdie back in the game and this song would of made number #1 easily. I'm just grieved that these two legendary voices, didn't get the credit they deserved. It grieves my spirit to know that they made such a great song /album in 1991,and to know that they had to sign off,their royalities with motown is disgusting.
David's voice kept up till the end so beautifully... Eddie's aged like leather or wine, where it changed but stayed so beautiful... thanks soooo much for posting!
Perhaps one day we will know the WHOLE story. But, until then we have the memories. This is a straight-out hustle jam. Dance party stuff for sure. David and Eddie teamed up on this albu and it had several really good tunes on it, but this was one of the best. R,I.P. Eddie and David. You guys put in some work before you left.,
OTIS HAS ALWAYS HAD SOME NEGATIVE TALKING, SAYING DISRESPECTFUL THINGS ABOUT DAVID,HE HAS CHILDREN,OTIS DONT TALK ABOUT ABOUT PEOPLE THAT CANT DEFEND THEMSELVES,I SAW IN ALL ON UNSUNG RUNNING HIS MOUTH ABOUT DR &TT,HAS ANYBODY TOLD HIM,A ROLE MODEL YOU ARENT EITHER,HOW MANY TIMES HAS HES BEEN MARRIED,HOW MANY BAND MEMBERS HAS LEFT HIM,GOOD WOMEN DONT LEAVE GOOD MEN,HE HAS HIS SKELTONS TOO,THEY ARE STILL PARTIALLY HIDDEN
WOW !!! THIS IS A SWEET SONG FROM TWO OF THE BEST EVER. I LOVE THIS BEAT, ME WANT TO GET UP AND DANCE. I HAVE PLAYED IT 6 TIMES. THIS SHOULD HAVE COME OUT ON THE RADIO. IT'S GOOD TO HERE FROM EDDIE & DAVID HOWEVER, THIS SONG WAS POST THE TEMPS. J.MACK
This says it all about these two "I,m running thru weakness and talking thru pain girl tryin to remember my name" YES LAWD!!! TOO SMOOTH. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT PLANET THE BASS PLAYER LIVES ON BUT IT AIN'T EARTH
Where was I in the 80's and 90's when Eddie and David was performning together. I don't remember anything after they left the tempts. I felt like I've missed so much.
Eddie and David sound REAL REAL REAL REAL GOOD TOGETHA HERE, O YES SIR MAN. O YEAH. EDDIE SOUNDS VERY STRONG AND CONFIDENT ANDHAPPY LIKE HE BELONGS HERE THIS IS SHOWCASE. THEY DID IT!!!!! 2 Voices and Truly unique in each's rights. this is just nothing less of phenomenal, PHENOMENAL. I LOVE IT ABSOLUTELY. THANKYOU. check out them horns, check out that band!!!
that is SooOOOOOO gooood. listen to Eddie's swweeetness, wit Davids o i don't know what to call it!!!!! its just a beautiful combination beyond any language, its a soul language it!!! huh man? =)
I saw these guys in LA in the 70s. Tragic lives. All the original Temps are gone but Otis. If they sound this good on Earth...how much better will it be in Heaven?
@keendog91 AND OTIS WUZ WACK 1 AINT THAT A BITCH WHY OTIS BITCHAZZ AINT DIE NOBODY AINT CARE IF HE DIE ALL DA OTHER TEMPS MADE OTIS A STAR AND HE CANT EVEN SING BUT DA ONLY 1 STILL ALIVE RIP DAVID RUFFIN EDDIE KENDRICKS PAUL WILLIAMS DA REAL TEMPS. FUCK U OTIS......
@deeluv232003 ma bad dawg i was hellah drunk i didnt even remember writin that that is hella bad to wish that on someone i aint say he should die i just said the good ones should still be alive
This song was written by Michael R.Crump, Renaldo Benson of The Four Tops and Ronnie McNeir of The Four Tops. Executive Producer,Tommy Mottola. It was an honor to have the Great David Ruffin&Eddie Kendrick perform our song.Me being a Detroiter,it was a highlight of my life.
I always liked this song. The CD RUFFIN & KENDRICK was hot and yes, I own it. They also do a remake of Sly & the Family Stone's "Family Affair" that's pretty good, although I heard that David didn't want to make a cover of that song because the original couldn't be touched by anyone, not even he and Eddie.
Love and miss David and Eddie, two classic voices and amazing talents that we will never see in life again. :(
I love the picture because that's when David broke his wrist and they made the suit to fit with the cast. Later on they made the suits where you didn't know the cast was there.
great song! if possible, someone post the video of "One More For The Lonely Hearts Club" from the same album this track came from (Ruffin and Kendrick, circa 1987)
Now, they know they were SANGIN' this song right here…. Sweet Soul Music!!!!
