Wow,Leon did a god job..loking like him on the movie..

David Ruffin was the focus of this group, he had amazing vocals. He destroyed his career with the Temptations behind arrogance, and drugs, it was really sad. He was such a very good talent. After viewing this video, it is not the same old David. He is gone from this life, no more pain, torment and self destruction from his Cocaine addiction..RIP David.

Otis Williams is still living, he is the last of the original Temptations. The were the best male singing groups.

For a clearer and better view of this same performance, please go to the video "My Girl" by bigbadblazer77. This is from "Dancing In The Street"DVD (the last performance of Mary Wells, Martha Reeves, David Ruffin & Eddie Kendricks together on the same stage.) After that, Mary Wells was replaced by Mary Wilson on the tour. The difference between David and the other Tempts was he was a natural born performer - both before, with and after his stint with the Tempts.

@mikmuse6 so your saying eddie, otis, melvin, and paul should of kept david in the group so he could get cleaned? They were still the temptations after david was fired

@ Fox4dahunt: I agree with you. I think Leon did a great job in the movie. I don't know if David's personality was anything like Leon portrayed but Leon got 2 thumbs up from me for his role.

I must say that regardless of David's mishaps, bad choices or whatever anyone wants to call it. He was TALENTED and it was a tragedy to his family/ friends & his fans when his life ended. I hear some of the things that pppl say about him & it's kind of sad. I do understand & respect every1s opinions but what do we get out of bashing a person who's no longer w/us? Sure he made mistakes but who hasn't.maybe if he was here today, he would wish that he could change those choices however, he's not.

This is sad. How totally SICK of singing this do you think they were by this time? How could they have known that their amazing fame and this iconic song would live forever, but their great voices would deteriorate and their friendships would break apart? Why does this always happen? Is it ego?

[Mononcsteph]

That's all quite charming, but 0% credible. If he was the supporting force he says he was, he should have let somebody write it about him... Plus, that book and the mini-series it inspired contains NUMEROUS and MASSIVE inaccuracies. Why should we then believe any of that "praise me, Grand Otis" business... Please. Otis Williams is just as much a douche as Ruffin was. Besides, what's with this ghetto tendency to NOT being able to let go of a group after its 9658th lineup change?!! Totally dumb.

[Mononcsteph]

David Ruffin was a social retard, which prompted him to behave like a teen-aged girl with a bad case of narcissistic personality disorder, but Otis Williams appears to have been a serious pain in the ass. "His" (obviously limited, he had a "co-writer" help him out... hehehe) biography of the group can be summed-up as such: I was the de facto leader, I never made many personal mistakes, I was the sanest one in the gang, I, I, I and I... Without me, The Temptations would've disappeared."
