I remember driving my 63 VW bug to work and listening to this stuff on my mini 8 track tape. The Temps, Tops, Jr. Walker, Supremes, all of Motown. This music is the greatest stuff ever made, compared to the crap today. So much soul and feeling. True artists with true talent.
No group...NONE...male or female will EVER be able to touch this group. No one before, and no one after can compare to the voices, the moves, the class, the harmony, the stage presence, and charisma these men had. The Temptations, the greatest there was, is, and there ever will be.

good music.. all this NIcki mInaj .. new boy.. gangsta rap crap can die slowly. .. We need to bring this music back.. Times wll be better.. Maybe we would learn to love instead of fight.
thats a bad ass song. the temptations movie did the dance moves better. also to mention that was a very nice bio movie too the most realist i ever seen about any artists.

yea right! if they would have gave in to his demands there wouldnt be no TEMPTATIONS and davids' career would have lasted maybe a year. if anything Eddie Kendricks was more valuable than david and besides, the singers didnt write those hit songs and thats what it comes down to

@SLIPPINBLOOD Yeah, apparently most everyone who watched this video is 15/16 years old, thinking everyone will believe them. I was 15 6 years ago and all I listened to was hip-hop and rock before I got older because thats the music of my generation, for some wierd reason, some guy like you whos probably in their 40's posts "I love this video and I'm only 15!" in every oldies video, why? I dont know.
@macho123kid well i sure dont need your opinion to conclude wether im poser or not , i dont care if u think that il 40 a poser or even 12 , your opinion does not make this music any less charming to me , so please , next time keep your opinion to yourself , thank you
@macho123kid why wouldn't they throw their age in there? most 15 year olds now a days listen to fucken garbage. It's rare to find younger people who listen to old classics.
@SLIPPINBLOOD Ok i'd like to ask you a favor, look above my last comment that i left for you, it says "Heeeeeey...i'm 13 and I love this type of music....I should've been born in the 70's </3", now click the name of the person who left the comment... doglover123able and see how old she is will you and get back to me, thanks.
@macho123kid i see your point , well i guess she just wants to feel young or so , by lying about her age (:
let her feel good for a while , if thats what makes her happy, dont bother , youtube does not work with the FBI , lying about your age isnt a crime , at least not on youtube , i guess , but i see your point , i do , and yes , shes a fool, let her be (:
the anti james brown. brown knew the music behind him, otherwise hed haVE KNOWN HOW SPECIAL THIS WAS.... IT WAS TOO EASY, IT REACHED OUR SOULS MORE THAN EDDIES
@dramafree. I didnt say paul was a better singe, or better than,david at anything than david. David had a better voive, but dont act as though paul cldnt sing at all. Paul was the lead before david. David brought stage presence as the lead singer. Paul was about straight soul. All,members said paul was against anything that was crossover, but paul cld take a standard and keep its flavor and still add soul. Thats what a voice does.
@supertye1 YES. Paul just brought that group funkiness. To it. For the mosat part those are Paul's moves the group did for quite a while. Watching the movie, I liked all the characters, but I liked Paul's the best.
@beatletemps Yeah that was Ruff. A lot of people don't know how incredible his singing range was. Check out some of his solo material. He showed his talents fully as a solo artist. Particularity check out a song called "World Of Darkness."
Im sorry but I have to disagree. If u look during the chorus paul's choreography was mean for the left leg to be out in,front bending the knee. Look at eddie. His motion is such like he.s walking. Eddie was a very lazy dancer. He did the bare minimum. Paul, was forever the best temptation.
How much constant work it must have taken to make that precision and perfection seem effortless. Performance after performance, they hit the marks - total harmony, dance moves like a ballet.
"The hardest working cats in show business".. I was a kid and saw this on the Smothers Brothers (I *loved* Dick and Tommy). To me, it was just entertainment. But it was a pinnacle of performance.How could I have known that most of what you'd see later on would be commercial, soulless garbage?
Their dance routine is flawless. Clapping and footwork along with body movement is all precise, very nice. Along with the fantastic voices. Endless talent.
samshelly- really think someone high could move in 5 part dance moves and sing like they did under lights, all tuxed up? Try it. Count the smiles they put on faces , and may they rest in peace, weaknesses and all. TEMPTS FOREVER!
No one could bring out the emotion in a song like David Ruffin. I hope you'll take a moment to listen and comment on my vocal tribute to the Four Tops' "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch". Here's the link. copy and paste in your browser's address window. youtube.com/watch?v=mfjcyINqsoc
Another #1 hit for The Temptations on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 153rd #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. Sad that they don't make music like this today. Are you reading this, Lil Wayne?
@NoChaser101 david ruffin was heavily into drugs..probably even at this time in his career....he most likely was high on the stage....Paul was a heavy drinker later on in his career with the temps...and is it me or does Kendricks always look high...no matter the era LOL
@samshelly Most pop musicians are into drugs.Unfortunately, Ruffin`s problems were particularly intense.Killed his career, and caused him misery and a humiliating death.Ruffin was like an African American Edgar Alan Poe.
@NoChaser101 That has occurred to me also, but you have to look at alot of old footage to see that Ruffin was a different person at different times. On some songs, he was very animated and intense; on others, he was almost comatose. The differences likely reflect his moods and personality swings. And, unfortunately, his drug use. Leon didn't give us that range of emotions in his portrayal, but I am not angry about that. He gave us Ruffin at his best.
@MsBrownie968 Yea, I mean I just love this kinda music but my friends love other types of music, it isn't special, it's just what kinda music you like
@mattrocks82 Bullshit thats the dumbest lie i've ever heard, i've never met a 15 yr old whos into this music, beleive me i was 15 5 years ago and all i'd listen to is hiphop not this, when they get older is when they'll realize this is real music. The reason 15yr old kids are into hiphop is because thats the music of their generation.
@macho123kid well you are meeting a 17 yr old who's been into this music for years lol, check my ipod all u will see is the temps, prince, mj, frankie beverly, you name it i got it, see i got one of those moms who ALWAYS played this music when i was younger, even today, so this is normal for me, me and my sister love david the most though
@mattrocks82 I am one of the only sperms swimming inside a guy's ball sack that understands this is good music......... Seriously No one gives a fuck about your age..
I feel sorry for you young ones, you are growing up in the era of "corporate music"; music that doesn't speak to the soul, but is deliberately designed to make you a slave to moral depravity and Mammon. If you can turn away from that trash and focus on bygone greats, you will be a much better person for it.
while all of my friends were listening to the temps, i was listening to fine ass smokey and the miracles. the temps were ok but smokey, and good lawd at 73 he is still fine
i dont understand why everyone liked david..he was a women beater he beat tammy terrel..drug addict..and was very violent..if u was in the group would u want to deal with an arrogant person like that..he was an ok singer tho
@cutenerdyboobie I hear ya, the only thing i liked about him was his voice.And I know how it feels to work with someone like that,I was part of an installing crew for an air conditioning company and quit my job last week for a new one because one of the guys thinks that just because his brother owns the company that its ok to talk shit, make threats, and start fights with other employees. I dont mind "throwing down",but hes not worth going to jail for, i'm the 6'th person to quit because of him
@macho123kid wow thats crazy..that is one of my biggest pet peeves...arrogant people..and thats good that u quit your job i wouldnt want to deal with negative people either
@cutenerdyboobie It happened last Monday ,so during my lunchbreak that day i went to another company filed an application and the next morning at 9 I got a call and he said "we need someone by tomorrow you have an hour to think about it before we call someone else" 10min later I called him up and said i'll see you at work tomorrow, pulled my at-the time-boss aside and told him "im tired of this shit so i found a new job.....and i was gonna give you my notice but they want me to start tomorrow."
@cutenerdyboobie I love the classic temps but I get what you're saying. We allow stars just because of their gifts in music, sports etc., to get away with behaving badly (I know David wasn't the only temp behaving badly). If David had been some brother out on the streets beating women and abusing drugs we wouldn't tolerate it; but why do we tolerate the actions of the gifted so they can entertain us. It's actually sad how the talented become mishandled and misused for our entertainment.
I don't care what anyone says, The Classic Five is the greatest singing group of all-time. No one, I mean NO ONE, can sound the way they did, dance the way they did, and have style and class the way they did. There was NO group before them, nor will there EVER be any group after them that will match or come within miles of this group. The Classic Five...Greatest of All-Time!!!
When we wake up to the truth of life, inspired music like this will emerge and flourish again, and all the uninspired crap that people call "music" these days will fade away and be forgotten. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says to learn the truth of life.
It starts with the music producers, radio management, and tv producers. If they would require great singing and talent we'd see more of it. But they don't, they want a quick fix - like candy, no substance, over fruit and vegetables - something that tastes good and is good for you. Which is easier to produce in mass quantity? Candy. How many groups have been as talented as the original Motown Sound in 40 years? EWF, Commodores, Prince & his groups, Boys II Men, ??? - real short list.
@greatbighand I love the Temptations and hate to point this out but its so noticable...Eddies chore. is weak look at 1:40 one of many parts in this video.

@samshelly Most pop musicians are into drugs.Unfortunately, Ruffin`s problems were particularly intense.Killed his career, and caused him misery and a humiliating death.Ruffin was like an African American Edgar Alan Poe.

NoChaser101 6 months ago
@NoChaser101 That has occurred to me also, but you have to look at alot of old footage to see that Ruffin was a different person at different times. On some songs, he was very animated and intense; on others, he was almost comatose. The differences likely reflect his moods and personality swings. And, unfortunately, his drug use. Leon didn't give us that range of emotions in his portrayal, but I am not angry about that. He gave us Ruffin at his best.

@mattrocks82 Bullshit thats the dumbest lie i've ever heard, i've never met a 15 yr old whos into this music, beleive me i was 15 5 years ago and all i'd listen to is hiphop not this, when they get older is when they'll realize this is real music. The reason 15yr old kids are into hiphop is because thats the music of their generation.

I feel sorry for you young ones, you are growing up in the era of "corporate music"; music that doesn't speak to the soul, but is deliberately designed to make you a slave to moral depravity and Mammon. If you can turn away from that trash and focus on bygone greats, you will be a much better person for it.

@cutenerdyboobie I hear ya, the only thing i liked about him was his voice.And I know how it feels to work with someone like that,I was part of an installing crew for an air conditioning company and quit my job last week for a new one because one of the guys thinks that just because his brother owns the company that its ok to talk shit, make threats, and start fights with other employees. I dont mind "throwing down",but hes not worth going to jail for, i'm the 6'th person to quit because of him

@cutenerdyboobie It happened last Monday ,so during my lunchbreak that day i went to another company filed an application and the next morning at 9 I got a call and he said "we need someone by tomorrow you have an hour to think about it before we call someone else" 10min later I called him up and said i'll see you at work tomorrow, pulled my at-the time-boss aside and told him "im tired of this shit so i found a new job.....and i was gonna give you my notice but they want me to start tomorrow."

@cutenerdyboobie I love the classic temps but I get what you're saying. We allow stars just because of their gifts in music, sports etc., to get away with behaving badly (I know David wasn't the only temp behaving badly). If David had been some brother out on the streets beating women and abusing drugs we wouldn't tolerate it; but why do we tolerate the actions of the gifted so they can entertain us. It's actually sad how the talented become mishandled and misused for our entertainment.

I don't care what anyone says, The Classic Five is the greatest singing group of all-time. No one, I mean NO ONE, can sound the way they did, dance the way they did, and have style and class the way they did. There was NO group before them, nor will there EVER be any group after them that will match or come within miles of this group. The Classic Five...Greatest of All-Time!!!

When we wake up to the truth of life, inspired music like this will emerge and flourish again, and all the uninspired crap that people call "music" these days will fade away and be forgotten. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says to learn the truth of life.

It starts with the music producers, radio management, and tv producers. If they would require great singing and talent we'd see more of it. But they don't, they want a quick fix - like candy, no substance, over fruit and vegetables - something that tastes good and is good for you. Which is easier to produce in mass quantity? Candy. How many groups have been as talented as the original Motown Sound in 40 years? EWF, Commodores, Prince & his groups, Boys II Men, ??? - real short list.
