Paul!

I've heard this song sung by a lot of people and this is the best version I've ever heard. Melvin stepped out of the background and showed his stuff.

It's a new day and I'm about to cross over. Merry Christmas to all.

I think Paul Robeson sang this on the movie "Show Boat" back in the 20's.

"Ol' Man River" - Low Rumblin' Voice

[Veggieman87]

On the intro, do the voices go Eddie, Otis, David, Paul?

Haven't heard this since 1968 while in service. Brought back memories. Thanks.

Go on Melvin, with your deep voice, Melvin was on fire on this song!!

For my money, the best version of this song... although their "live" album is a close second. Sang this with my group at the Spring Festival '68, at HS of Art & Design, NYC. Probably the third best version. RIP Gerald Moody and Lawrence Smith of the Four Ways... along with Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin and David Ruffin. I kinda know how Otis feels losing his boys. Long live the Temptations, and the Four Ways..

Sending you a Temptation song I think you havent heard

[afloridagal]

Without a doubt, the Mellow Mood album was one of the best from the Tempts. I was just a kid, but loved every song on this album.

Original? Ol' Man River comes from the 1920's.
