The Temptations Hey Jude

[TheJoesousa]

i am sure the gods like this.

[dhondiego]

I wish somebody would post "little green apples" from "Puzzle People" it's an amazing rendition of that song... just sayin'

[sylviajorgentorolaf]

Very original really great



[losrojochilipeppers]

One of my favorite bands singing a song by another one of my favorite bands!!!

[menoziinrevoltado]

Never, regarding The Beatles' songs, a cover will be better than the original.

[Suckerfly]

@menoziinrevoltado Apart from Earth Wind & Fire's version of Got To Get You Into My Life - -which kicks the original's ass!!!

[tuzwol]

Vocally this is the best version,with the leads and harmonies. If you know about harmony,you know this is the definite version

[tuzwol]

Best version, right here,not even close

[baythagod]

Paul Williams is lead vocals, just incase ya wondering, he was the greatest....

[FilmNoirFan1]

This was the first version of the song I had ever heard by in the 60's. I thought the Beatles copied the Temps but later found it was the other way around.

[jfranciskeus]

yes it's f'g JUDE!!!

[knightd12]

Motown was trying to broaden the fan base of the Temptations but getting them to record this tune. All in all, not a bad version of the song.

[yeahsteeeve]

Not diggin the falsetto

[KjMailman97]

@yeahsteeeve crazy dats one of the best falsetto singers in dah world eddie kendricks

[iamanatullah]

The best covers are definitely this one and Wilson Pickett's. This version makes perfect use of all five voices in the group, and the vocal interplay sounds spontaneous and spirited--Paul Williams sounds especially into it. And Norman Whitfield's production even makes effective use of the sitar.

I love the Temptations, but they should've let this tune alone, sorry just can't get into it sung this way.

[mdz255]

this is better than the beatles because they all sing

[amory0115]

I like the Beatles original version of this classic song. But I like the Tempt's rendition

of it as well, I love the Wilson Pickette rendition of it the best. Finally I think that singing songs like this showed that the Tempt's were'nt merely an R&B/soul act. But could sing pop music as well. Thanks for sharing the music.

[MrBeatlesCovers]

@amory0115 You're very welcome

[ramondosky]

the are better than the beatles

[SesheniAda]

I think Jude applies to all of us. this is a wonderful song with a great message

[susan8163]

the Temps wasted their talents on this song. Not a good one for them!!!!!

[melaniesafka]

Nearly crashed the car this morning, laughing at this diabolical version on 'Sounds of the Sixties'....

[Moonman540]

They're singing runaway child, running wild in the end as well

[SonofMrPeanut]

Alright, they left in John's favorite line. AND it's 3 minutes and a half! Well done. ^_^

[Redcar43]

Wonderful version nice sound

[brandtaylor93]

I had no idea that the temps made a version of hey jude.

[Bizarronumber4]

I love the Temptations version. Thanks for posting it.

[MrBeatlesCovers]

You're welcome.

[dipalma07]

Other than the original version, done by the Beatles, this is the best recording of Hey Jude I've yet heard.

[phailbrigade]

wow

[diploash]

My fave version of the song. The range of voices is amazing!
