We need this music and gospel today. I'm pale and middle aged, living in a soul vacuum in Ontario Canada. Dull as a screw head here. Thank you for posting this. I listen to all my soul, R&B, gospel with rhythm, here. Today, I will enjoy Smokey, Al Green, Sam Cooke, Eric Bronson (Black Pumas), Bruno Mars, Chandler Moore, David Crowder, Naomi Raine, Tribal. Blessings to everyone.
I watch this GREAT performance almost every day,wish there were classy groups like this today.Dressed well,but,I guess kids these days don't want to see groups like this.
I'm 76yrs old now and feel proud to have been young when these guys were performing, David Ruffin's voice was sound blowing and together The Temptations were my top Tamla Motown group.
My High School days , OMG!!!! I've wished for those days. You remember what grade you were in, teachers, pep rallies, boyfriends,clothes, EVERY THING....this and music during that time will ALWAYS be timeless. Real voices and harmony, choreography best ever. I'm 73 young in heart and spirit.
What an incredible song by an incredible group…I feel sadness when I think of David Ruffin passing away so soon…Motown legends that will never be outdone.
I'm sad too about how David died and I believe he was wronged when he was kicked out of the group after all he had done to make it! I think Otis was just jealous of David!
They were great but I think the dramatics as a whole had better individual singers snd harmony . Temptations were just those most marketed like the spinners . Ask any real singer and they will tell you the dramatics singers all had lead singer vocals .
Omg, the Temptations are such a classy act, but I got to say the best years were those with David as their front man. His vocals are mesmerizing and unforgettable.
They were the BEST of all the Motown crop! Whenever I think of Motown, I think of the Temps! I was born in 1953. From 1960 onwards, it’s all I ever heard. The best music on the planet. The kids today have no idea what they missed believe me. Todays music is not a patch of Motown-EVER!
Maaan! What a performance!! One of the things that made the Temptations unique is that they were all over 6ft. Not a big deal but not something you see everyday with a singing group. The original Temps are timeless.
I grew up on a farm outside of Detroit. This is the music my brother and I listened to when doing barn chores. The music of my youth broadcast to us on CKLW from Windsor.
I was their limo driver once, when they were in Dayton, Ohio. Big, Southern boys, right there!. I had to make 2 trips to the convention center . The 30 ft stretch wasn't big enough to fit them all in comfortably. It was my pleasure to provide ground transportation for the group. The best to you all you guys!.
Love the showmanship and percision of these fellows... I Love this video, and watch it often... Paul is my man, but I would've hung out with Melvin any day, he just looks like he would be fun to be with, and that SMILE !!!! also Paul and his moves, WOW !!!
Great! I’m glad you like this so much. This is one of my very favorite vocal performances I’ve ever heard, and to get a live clip of the whole song is incredible. They didn’t always sing live on tv so as soon as I could tell it wasn’t lip-synced I had to share it ❤️✌️

So thankful these guys have been in my life with their stunning sound and performance, just incredible, thanks guys!
This is absolutely astonishing for a live performance done in the 1960s! Perfect vocals and perfect recording - Ruffin's voice is even more powerful here than on the original recording. It sounds so good I'd question if it was really live if I didn't see him clearly singing every syllable. Man, what a singer! And the group as a whole is a joy to watch, with harmonies and moves in perfect sync.
You could ALWAYS count on the Temptations to sound just as good (or better) live in concert, as they sounded on record. Just a couple of months ago, my wife and I were discussing how the Temps are the greatest male vocal group of all times. Their vocals, harmony, and choreography have never been surpassed, to date. This group has been the model for quintets and quartets, since the early 1960's.
i can watch and listen to the Goat David Ruffin sing and command the stage and be entertained and captivated each time. What a special voice and talent the GOAT David Ruffin before his time.Wow!!!!!!!!!pure greatness and unique style.
Love this song! Love most temptations songs & motown. I was born In 78 but my mom always played motown for me. I recently read the story about the man(richard penzibine) who wrote this & it breaks my heart much more than b4. Love me some motown!!!!
I listen to this song non stop! I can't get enough of this awesome song and these musical geniuses! Pure perfection. There's and will never be a better lead singer than David!
I experienced this music through my parents, and my children through me. There will never be another musical era such as this, one that all enjoyed. I envy those moments.
A midwestern white guy who couldn’t get enough Motown. Greatest music ever. Just saw Ain’t too proud to beg musical. Incredible cast singing incredible music of an incredible band.
God gave David so much and the devil took it all away and dumped him, obscure and unknown, unto the street. What a powerful lesson we all should learn...David your talent was massive, you voice was magic..so sorry you left us so soon with so much left unsung..

I'll bet you still remember the words to the songs, I sure do.

Terrible he died way too young
So sad a very tragic story. These guys put out some of the best music ever and this is one of my favorite songs. May he rest in peace.
David gave is life away far too easily 😢
Me Too!! 76 in May. No way to compare....Kanye West .....eat your heart out.
Today's r&b/hip-hop artists can't hold a candle to these guys.
I'm 62 and I was raised to this kind of music. love it and this kind of music can not be replaced ❤
Their music has been timeless and never gets old. ❤️
Best music ever.
Best music 🎼
Been listening to it since it was new. I don't think we will ever see this again. Temps, Still the best!!
@@mikefeil3568 I don’t think so
😮@@kathyhayden2499
I listen to this song almost several times a week. It never gets old or boring. God Bless Em. Thanks.
Me too.
I have been listing to the temp since1972 they need to bring this great music back .this world would be better place.
I'm 63 and Motown gave us the BEST music!! The Temptations are one of my favorites!
David, such talent... my God, this man was surely blessed.
He was the G.O.A.T.
Blessed? 🤔
I met all temptations
@@GlendaClarke-ir2cd I believe the commentor meant musically blessed. But that crack demon cursed him towards the end. His life was very dramatic smh
Play it again and just watch the background vocalists. Amazing choreography.
One of the best voices of all time.
Smooth, soulful, unbelievable harmonies--the Temps are simply the best.
Music is always going to be music hot & soul in your mind everybody has music and their bones weather is medicine medicine for the soul to be calm
Heart soul survivor
This music
makes your day!
I can't argue with you on that David voice was magnificent and the background was on point RIP giys
No artificial background instruments or recordings, just pure natural talent ❤
I love it I had 3 older sister we had an old tube type radio wvok in Birmingham play that music all day I loved the 60
Natural talent all of them! One of the best groups ever!
Yes, there is. Drums, violin, horns, etc. But their voices are the thing that draws you in 👩🏻🏫👏🏻🥰‼️
My High School days , OMG!!!! I've wished for those days. You remember what grade you were in, teachers, pep rallies, boyfriends,clothes, EVERY THING....this and music during that time will ALWAYS be timeless. Real voices and harmony, choreography best ever. I'm 73 young in heart and spirit.
That's what music was all about back then. So happy I was a part of it.
ME TO, GLAD I WAS A PART OF THAT GENERATION. 👏👏👏
Amen To That
High School,
Smoky & The Miracles ❤❤ What an incredible experience!! 1962 was the Best!!
There will NEVER be another David Ruffin. The most iconic voice that ever came out of Motown.
Now this is what you call singing and dancing. That's true talent at it's finest. Oh how I wish it would return.
Yes !!! 😊
Absolutely 🎉🎉🎉

Those Temptations the Greatest of All Time. Love Love Love The Temptations Forever. RIP Gone but will Forever Be Remembered. 💔 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What an incredible song by an incredible group…I feel sadness when I think of David Ruffin passing away so soon…Motown legends that will never be outdone.
So far, there hasn't been a better 5 male singing group than The Temptations We in 2023 and counting !
@@daimonmarioperez9501 WORD on that!!!!!!!!!
I'm sad too about how David died and I believe he was wronged when he was kicked out of the group after all he had done to make it! I think Otis was just jealous of David!

david ruffin simply is and was the definition of musicianship and showmaship all in one. he is still top on my playlist
Dennis Edward's was the best over David Ruffin
@@rosalindwilliams196 R U crazy?
Dennis over David😮
I'm just kidding you gotta like what u like!😊
Great voice. Too bad he was a woman beater.
Almost 60 years on my All-Time Top 10 list. Time has never dulled their tremendous appeal.
Amen !
I Wholeheartedly Agree ❤
Yes!!!
one of the greatest eras of music. anyone with a heart felt the music made in that time period.
Lord have mercy this world is so sad today we need this music back no Auto tunes know half naked people running around on stage just pure talent
YES!!!!
I totally agree
This is a master piece
He was a power house
No body can't never ever take his place
Synchrony, Harmony, elegance. Amazing. Today’s groups don’t even come close
Never gets old. Beautiful smooth vocals.
There will never be a group like this. They're my all time favorite. 🎉!!!
Eva!
They were great but I think the dramatics as a whole had better individual singers snd harmony . Temptations were just those most marketed like the spinners . Ask any real singer and they will tell you the dramatics singers all had lead singer vocals .
@@speedlife301that’s an opinion
They don't make music like that anymore.its a shame.temps for ever.
No this music is the best
Yes
U right

My most favorite Temptations song. The lyrics are so special and David’s vocals are out of this world. 👏👏👏❤️
Omg, the Temptations are such a classy act, but I got to say the best years were those with David as their front man. His vocals are mesmerizing and unforgettable.
@michael-ferriter- No. Unfortunately, before my time.
They were the BEST of all the Motown crop! Whenever I think of Motown, I think of the Temps! I was born in 1953. From 1960 onwards, it’s all I ever heard. The best music on the planet. The kids today have no idea what they missed believe me. Todays music is not a patch of Motown-EVER!
We had the music in the world back then thank God for it
David’s voice adds life to the song like no other.
Maaan! What a performance!! One of the things that made the Temptations unique is that they were all over 6ft. Not a big deal but not something you see everyday with a singing group. The original Temps are timeless.
Wow! I didn't know that. Nice bit of trivia!
Yesss
David knocked it out of the park with this performance. Awesome.
I still can't believe how good this song sounds
Right!? So many of their tv appearances were lip-synced, that's why I''ve always loved this clip-100% LIVE
Damn they jamming in the background!!🔥🔥🔥 I love the Motown sound.❤❤
Temptations always my favorite group. David Ruffin had unique and fantastic voice .
Eternal beautiful music. Thank you for your talent. A privilege for my ears.
David Ruffin voice can't be duplicated. You feel what he sings!
David Ruffin's voice is insane! all of them! pure talent. Autotune not needed for these guys!
That harmony makes me shed a tear. So, so good!!! Miss this level of music.
I grew up on a farm outside of Detroit. This is the music my brother and I listened to when doing barn chores. The music of my youth broadcast to us on CKLW from Windsor.
As a white English man born in 74 I was raised on music like this & it still stands the test of time.❤❤
The Temptations are the best of Motown sounds. David's vocals are just the most versatile, most soulful vocals I have ever heard. Genius.
Hi I'm 67 yrs old, this is music. Bring back music. Remember the good old days 🎉🎉❤❤😊
Marvelous, absolutely Marvelous!!
Couldn’t nobody sing like David RIP ❤
What a voice ❤
Greatest group of all time and Smoky Robinson wrote the songs. Wow!
Not this one.
Norman Whitfield
I was their limo driver once, when they were in Dayton, Ohio. Big, Southern boys, right there!. I had to make 2 trips to the convention center . The 30 ft stretch wasn't big enough to fit them all in comfortably. It was my pleasure to provide ground transportation for the group. The best to you all you guys!.
Very beautiful song. The Temptations r my favorite group they made some beautiful songs. Memories is a sad song
Love the showmanship and percision of these fellows... I Love this video, and watch it often... Paul is my man, but I would've hung out with Melvin any day, he just looks like he would be fun to be with, and that SMILE !!!! also Paul and his moves, WOW !!!

One of the greatest groups that ever lived 😊
Couldn't imagine growing up without Motown. I like all kinds of music, but I could never get tired of Motown.
Im a 74 tear old white woman veteran and miss these guys sooo much
I love this because it sounds like a testimony , she must have taken off her shoes on this one,just good gritty singing 🎶 🎶🔥🔥🔥

Talent is talent, it would be a wonderful world if we did not have barriers. These guys are blessed with talent. Love their music.
That electrifying voice of David can't be beat. Rip ❤
This is what we call music!!!

Yes, today they don't know about this type of music
Temptations could dance always on same beat
Back when men acted like, dressed like and danced like MEN

Oh my God, could these guys sing. David's voice, so soulful,, sexy and filled with pain in this song. RIP, David.
One of the most witty songs ever written. The story behind it is truly tragic and adds to the mystic.
Didn’t the dude who wrote it kill himself over his girlfriend leaving him?
@@dbshue4708 I believe it was his wife.
Love myself some temptations and David a true legend a voice and vocals is undeniable incredible ❤️
Strong voices and the way David sings is beyond great ....could listen to the best forever ❤...
