On this date in 1969 {Feb. 15th} "Run Away Child, Running Wild" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it would peak at #6 and spent 12 weeks in the Top 100...
Ranked No. 57 on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1969 chart
Reached #1 on Billboard's Black Singles chart...
Earl Van Dyke, who played organ on this record, released an instrumental version in the same year {1969}...
For a fact.....these guys will never be duplicated....IT TAKES HARD WORK TO DO THIS...AND THEY DID IT!....THE TEMPS....WE WERE ALL FORTUNATE TO HAVE THEM IN OUR LIVES!
Some people on youtube say, my sweetheart Eddie can't dance, not true, he dances as well as the rest of the tempts. Let's don't talk about how sweet and cute he was.
I like the way Eddie danced. His back and shoulders were as stiff as rocks but his arms and legs hung gently, that was his style and it worked very well for him He was a counterbalance to Paul who had a load of barely contained energy. Besides, he was so cute!
Indeed.I just saw the movie "Precious".A ghastley depiction of black people.Better that people see graceful talented performers like The Temptations or LeBron James.
Physically degrading images are fodder for racists.If you don`t believe me read the sections of Mein Kampf where Hitler mocks the appearance of Vienna`s Jews.
Norman Whitfield really knew how to show off the vocal prowess of each individual member of the Temptations...this and Cloud Nine were great examples of voice interplay

I have to disagree Madhofd. Dennis was perfect for the psychadelic phase. Could David have pulled it off? Absolutely. But IMO not nearly on the level Dennis did. That's why after he split from the Temptations they kept David on smooth R&B tunes. His writers knew what they were doing.

@1994g0 I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of this movie (Precious). Maybe I'm not artistic enought to grasp the purpose.

@totaly52 I see no purpose.I`m sure David Duke loved the movie.
