[mssquirrely]

R.I.P. David Peaston yet another bad falsetto singer.....and the man was badd!! Damn he was only 55 yrs. old but according to Wikipedia he had been diagnosed with diabetes and had his legs amputated, forcing him to use prosthesis.

[SHOWTIMEMOM1123]

THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF MY AUNT DEBBNIE BARR

Baby lay your head on my heart, Just let me talk to ya.

For once in my life, tomorrow came today

So don't...please, don't...let it slip ...slip away.....aaah...

Thanks for an amazing post.

[trooper40below]

Talib Kweli flipped this better than Twista and Ice Cube. It's called Talk To You (Lil Darlin) n his Quality album. Straight classic.

[nvjharmonica]

I like David Peaston's version of this song better, to me it has a more jazz flavor to it.

[djpugster70]

COME ON MANNNNN!!! PURE SOUL

[Dls2769]

my mom always loved eddie kendricks  miss you mom

[msgee62]

@Dls2769 She's dancing with him up there. x

[mello60ful]

His beautiful falsetto could melt the coldest heart

[slummike]

youtube use to have a clip of eddie kendricks singing acapella of this song when he was on soul train does anybody know where it is?

[AaronC588]

A super super hit by the former lead singer of the Temptations The great Eddie Kendricks on solo album  !! Can i rip my brother !!!

[MsKjada]

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, how we miss you! Often imitated, NEVER duplicated!

[OvenFreshBeats]

Twista - Creep Fast

[HybridDragons]

Ice Cube - Hood Mentality.

[grimms34]

When this came out i was a baby!!

This is music, not this crap that these young kids call music today!!!

[brutusbro]

This song has the legendary Eddie Kendricks at his best !!!

[TLEEWHITE123]

one of the smoothest tenors ever, All time greats

[gentleall]

To me, this song and the lead on "Just My Imagination", put him on the top of all male singers in the Pop & R&B genre. Including ahead of Luther & Michael. - IMHO!

[bitlowtothebone]

Eddie is the Man!

[chrisbreezywifey13]

when my grandpa first met ma grandma this is what he sang to her

ma grandpa was the man <3

[2tooful]

 ICE CUBE HOOD MENTALITY

[jazyag]

Absolutely !!!! Truly Beautiful.

[KokainHipHop]

redman?!?!?

[colorsoundandsoul]

WOW ... this is the jam. Thanks for posting!

[fancykatya]

As much as I like this one I perfer David Peaston's version from 1989! Eddie Kendricks was the real deal though, but the old Motown singers were tight.

[bugbazy]

REAL MUSIC

[musicman257]

its a shame what happen to him.eddie and david is what made the temptations. i mean i know they all had thier problems.and were all good.too bad they couldnt stay togther till the end.

[trinafromdetroit1]

Who is Talib and Balil? Ima have to look into them.

[jerzeyrunnerflash]

@trinafromdetroit1 PLEASE do yourself a favor. Talib sampled this song and it's SO AWESOME. But this right here is unbeatable.

[tmacandi]

@trinafromdetroit1 please do they are awesome, espeically bilal song sometime!!

[ndowney]

love this song...also love the way Talib and Bilal reworked it

[uhohitsMiKEY]

The last quarter of this song is my favorite. Such a sensual, smooth, and soulful groove...REAL MUSIC

[trinafromdetroit1]

This song puts me in the mind of an after hour joint. You are in there just chillin', sipping on your drink, talking smack, and listening to some good _ _ _ music. Wow. They don't make songs like this no more.

[uhohitsMiKEY]

@trinafromdetroit1 I WILL (:

[jasonpfinch]

@trinafromdetroit1 I misread that for a moment and thought you wrote "taking" when in fact you wrote "talking".

[Monaray1]

Love Eddie to death but not sure about the heart necklace he was wearing lol! I love him anyways! RIP

[vm24seven365]

After watching EK's 1991 interview...I have so much {more} respect for the man. He was no joke! What a man!  R.I.P. Eddie...we miss you.

[estebana174]

My all time fav from Eddie. just wonderful!  love you always Eddie!!

[mssquirrely]

Jam right here, best rendition done by David Peaston.....R.I.P. Eddie K.

[Dingo2599]

@)0:31 sample Ice Cube - Hood Mentality

[SlimHolliday]

@Dingo2599

also sampled by talib kweli!

[mnb9773]

This is definetly my favorite song in the whole wide world. I was so in love with this man.

[Southerngirl675]

STOP PLAYING!!!!! i forgot about this song!its still sounds beautiful.thanks for sharing.

[jazyag]

My soul will always be on fire when I listen to Eddie's beautiful voice. Do the young people today know what they have missed. This is real music, voice ,lyrics and so much feeling.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mj4Eternity58]

Gotta Love The Church Organ, Amen........

[TheMidcoast1]

I once heard that Berry Gordy didnt like Eddie's voice.Cant believe that...after all he was only the best tenor that ever lived.

[abcdefghjklmnrst]

@TheMidcoast1 i can believe it....gordy aslo didn't like the entire what's goin' on album by marvin....marvin had to threaten to leave to get it released

[TheMidcoast1]

@abcdefghjklmnrst and you see how well Marvin's album went...well thats ok cause Berry didnt make all good choices. Especially when he left Detroit behind and didnt do much better in Cali. He never gave back to the city that put his record label on the map. No children choir, athetic or scholastic problem for the Detroit's kids or nothing. Can you say Carpet Bagger?

[abcdefghjklmnrst]

@TheMidcoast1 lol, basically....at least he had the mind to even start motown....that;'s got to earn him some credit

[TheMidcoast1]

@abcdefghjklmnrst LOL! I mean dont get me wrong.. he many good decisions but leavng the D I dont think was one of them. He didnt do that much better in Cali. Correction typing too fast...in my previous comment I meant scholastic programs not problems sorry! (Rip Eddie...)

[mzimba1963]

C ME FEEL ME TOUCH, KENDRICKS

Eddie Kendricks one of the best! Gone much too soon, and the other late temps. I have always loved this song so mellow and smooth. Serious bass. A great time in music. Thank you for posting this.

[UsErNaMe1869]

[Espace109]

Eddie Kendricks has a voice that is truly golden with or with out the temptations,they don't make 'em like this any more.
