Original is tough act to follow.. loved David's irreplaceable voice. And Smokey wrote and performed so many of his own. Was in high school on my way to hockey practice when I first heard Tears of a Clown. He could turn a sad lyric in to an uplifting joyful inspiration. Made me want to get out there and fly off my blades. Hard truths can be borne up by grace ... smokey was pure grace and pure joy. Motown was a huge blessing in this white boy's "wonder years."
I’m gonna disagree, I’m not saying David is bad. His is INCREDIBLE. But I promise you that Smokey Robinson’s version that he recorded with The Miracles IS JUST AS GOOD. It’s an amazing version. I’ll find the link.
Man! what can I say!!!.....the temptations...I love listening to this kind of music!....black people had the greatest music ever back in the 50s and 60s.....even in the 70s....what the fuck happened?....it's all about rap music these days.....very sad!..
Lol! True, however there is a movement to bring this all back and to be honest it never really left, was just pushed aside for rap. Remember not all Black people enjoy rap
Heya evidently some of you haters need to listen to The Temptations well after the original group. I've listened and watched them perform many many times. Otis Williams Still holds these guys to a Higher Standard. Every one of these guys are very gifted or they would not have been given this opportunity. I'll continue to be a loyal fan, and follower. The only time i was upset with them is when they went to Atlantic Records for 2 bum albums, but they came back to reality. The group to date July 2020 is really good. 1.)Ron Tyson 2.)Willie Green 3.)Otis Williams 4.)Larry Braggs 5.)Terry Weeks
GC Cameron of the original Spinners who sung It's a Shame. Also recorded Hard to say goodbye from the movie Cooley High. No he is not David Ruffin but he is the real deal.
@@marilynsnider8183 I mean what do you want them to do? Go to David Ruffin’s grave and have his corpse sit there while the original track is playing? Lmao
lol lol First off the original lead singer of this song was David Ruffin. You CAN'T compare lol Ceelo Green to David Ruffin. You can't compare any singer to David Ruffin especially since Smokey Robinson wrote the words to this song. Let me explain something that you may not know. All the hit songs Smokey wrote for the Temptations were planned. Smokey would write a song around the singers vocal range and tailored it exactly to the lead singers ability. In this case it was David Ruffin with My Girl.
Otis Williams is the last remaining Temptation. It's not a tribute act. A tribute act wouldn't have an original member or someone who recorded on the Motown recordings. While it's not the classic lineup these guys are terrific in concert but not so much on CD.
THAT WAS A TIME WHEN THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY MEANT SOMETHING. TODAY WE HAVE A CIRCUS COMPLETE WITH CLOWNS. They don’t even have a plan to fight the Corona.
The look on Smokey's face and in his eyes is absolutely priceless.
Everybody in the house from Bush and Lloyd Webber to Spielberg was totally moved. Well done, great song
Temptations =Excellence!
There will only be one David Ruffin, no one alive can sing like him.
Oh yes! David with that SMOKEY song put The Temptations on the map of a Historic Legacy.
Unpopular opinion but I though Richard Street did a great job at singing David’s songs when Paul left

I love the Tom Hanks and wife reaction 😮
Nobody can sing MY GIRL like David Ruffin did...such awesomeness in his voice..👍🎵🎼🎶
I agree ..no one but David❤️

Even George Bush knows this is a huge fact🤣🤣🤣🤣

One of the greatest songwriters of all time
Lennon-McCartney, Neil Sedaka , Carole King aren't slouches
I ❤️ the original 5. They were out of this World. They are the bad boys of Hitsville USA!
They deserved a standing ovation people!!!!!!
Thank you GC Cameron. You didn’t want to outshine Ruffin. You are a gentleman
No other group on this planet could be them I miss them so much..
They still tour and release new material. They have plans for a 2021 CD of all originals and a summer tour if this Covid virus gets under control.
That song is the best ever written!
oh the nostalgia, the film came out when i was like 1 grade 😊

OMG ! Kelly! You are simply fantabulus!
A melhor versão que já pude ouvir na vida dessa música.

Great performance ❤
GC Cameron’s adlibs during “I guess you say”
GC Cameron of the original Spinners who sung It's a Shame. Also recorded Hard to say goodbye from the movie Cooley High.
No he is not David Ruffin but he is the real deal.
And thats how its done boys and girls 👍
Amazing ! I don't even like country however the original and Kelly's cover.. are brilliant story telling and soul entertaining
G C is a great singer!
❤ ,the heart of USA.!?

Maravilhoso!!!!
G.C. yeah 👍
Minha música
Richard Street was the best in singing this masterpiece
How random.
But thank you 🙏
Dolly Parton my girl xx
To all the haters, ALL are still legends! How many groups and songs can still be around and sung by multiple generations? Could YOU sing along?😊
David Ruffin IS my girl
Sorry, but the Temps stopped being the Tempts many years ago.
The lead is not doing this song justice. The original lead was brilliant on this song.
David Ruffin, best there ever was!
David Ruffin is the legend!!!! Wish he was still alive
I totally agree. If it's broke, don't fix it!

Sadly this group is no longer THE Temptations it's a tribute act.

game master
estilo só deles show?
Who are the two couples right at the beginning
THAT WAS A TIME WHEN THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY MEANT SOMETHING. TODAY WE HAVE A CIRCUS COMPLETE WITH CLOWNS. They don’t even have a plan to fight the Corona.
Just to show how stupid u really are what has singing a song got to do with being in the White House u plunk
Who is the lead singer?
That was GC Cameron he also sang lead with the Spinners at one time.
@@michaelwhite5606 Thank you!
This Guy Doesnt Do Justice To My Girl
They cut the camera WAY too much!
G.C. Cameron was a good lead singer, too bad he didn't stay in the group and make some steady money.
Who are these guys?
actually this is a tribute for the Police too...
If it’s not David or Ali Woodson this song isn’t sung right
Not a great performance, and they cut out the 2nd verse!!
I think Smokie wrote the song My girl
Smokey wrote "My Guy" too for Mary Wells.
Ronald white wrote it with him two of the miracles
Why does the lead refuse to sing the hook….
Le seul groupe qui n a pas participé et qui ne participera jamais c'est les rolling stones
Man that was so out of tune!
How did that song start? Um. Yeh. No.
Why the long face Mr Andrew Lloyd Webber? He looked so uninterested and bored 😐
,,My love" the song is better
That was awful,,, I love the original Temptations. No one can sing that song like David Ruffin
G C Cameron totally ruined this song, would never make #1 with him. After the spinners he was nothing !
No one like them
Que mal la cantaron
Why didn’t they get someone else to sing it? He sounds TERRIBLE!
Horrible la version.
Horrible
