By the time of this recording in 1967, David Ruffin was insisting on The Temptations calling themselves "David Ruffin & The Temptations" in much the same way as Diana Ross had taken the lead name over The Supremes. It never happened and within a year, David would be banished from the group. Celebrating 50 Years of Motown, these are The Temptations with their Top Ten hit from May of 1967, "All I Need".

Hard to beat David in 67-68. Incredible stuff...

We all were in a holyland of voices...everyone of the Temptations could sing lead...Melvin has one in bass that jams...for my money, give me Paul Williams, velvet wrapped in sandpaper. What pipes and, he was the dancer in the choreography, they all look to him for cues on the moves...weren't we lucky.

I loved the Temptations. One of the great things about this group is that everyone could and did lead. There was no need to give one person top billing. That only breaks up groups. Look at what it did to the Supremes.
