I can play this on trumpet i'm in a marching band and i NEVER knew this was a actual SONG thought it was like some kinda marching band thing that was put together YEARS ago so bands could battle i never woulda guessed TEMPTATIONS!!!!
This song is just amazing. I'm actually thankful for Fergie using this as a sample in her song "Here I Come". Otherwise, I wouldn't have know this even better song existed.
I'm 14. What an incredible song. It makes me wish if only all music was this good. The songwriters and singers from half a century ago prove to be so much better then the music we have now. I thank the previous generation for this music and hope that it will continue to be passed down through the years. Thank you
@TheFutureflyer Same! They didn't listen to the radio in the car a whole lot so I was restricted to their itunes as a kid. And thank heavens they didn't.
love it how i see all these replies about basketballcientist so i look for his comment and couldnt find it so i went back to the 1st page find out hes the top comment :(
@kringlejamster no its just we would rather something interesting was said in the top comments, not something so petty about the fact people dislike the song..
the 1950s motown music, the 1970s disco, 1980s new wave, and the 1990s pop music are my favorites along with classical music from any time period. as for music in the 21st century? it could take some pointers from the 20th century.
CHECK OUT THE MY Song " Get Ready" I sample This Song .. And Im Pretty Tuff For A Female Rapper Search it : Trace on Dideck -Get Ready Ft The Temptations
my generation-the 1960's. when I hear this song -reminds me of the motown sound and the fastest heavyweight champion of the world--muhammad ali aka cassius clay--on top of the world. me-former u.s. marine vietnam vet.
A #1 hit for The Temptations on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 139th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #29 on the Top 40 charts and #10 in the United Kingdom. One of the greatest R&B groups of all time. No matter your race, when they sang, you felt it. Something that is lacking today.
AMERICAN IDOL? NAH BUDDY I FIRST THIS SONG AS A KID FROM 90"S MOVIE PROBLEM CHILD 2 WHEN JOHN RITTER GETTING READY FOR HIS DATE!! R.I.P JOHN RITTER....
@jakeintempe I must respectfully disagree as no one of the 'classic' Tempts seems to overshadow the rest of them, you can argue that one is a better singer then another, but the truth it they all brought something in to create such a dynamic sound. I openly acknowledge that without David the they would not not be as legendary as they are considered today, but I also know they would not be without Otis, Eddie, Paul and Melvin.
its funny that now im starting to pick up where all these HBCU get their cadences that they're known for from...this happens to be jacksons state intro when they march in, nice!
