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.
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 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.
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!
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!.
I'm a 65 yearly white woman and I enjoy this music too! My oldest brother used to do these moves in the living room when I was a little kid. Good times back then.
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.
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.
Song written by a man who lost his wife to another man, that following Christmas , before he had even had a chance to hear the song, he took his own life as the pain was to great for him to indure. This song touches so many people. I hope he can feel the love from here
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.
AH‼️ David Ruffin. I could watch him and the other guys perform all day and night long. The singing and dancing is superb 👩🏻🏫👏🏻🥰‼️ I can’t listen to Eddie Kendrick so easily as I do David though. His really high voice bothers my ears. Same with the really high sound of the violin. David’s high is fine. No problem. I guess it’s because it’s a lower range high or something. Doesn’t bother me when Eddie sings background with the other guys. The best Soul group in my opinion! Well, the Platters are great too! Love them as well!

So thankful these guys have been in my life with their stunning sound and performance, just incredible, thanks guys!
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 am a 74 year old white woman; what a privilege to hear these kings again!
Awww you so sweet ❤
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.

But don't forget his brother, Jimmy, who was a solo artist. "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" ua-cam.com/video/SZfnKqAGlfY/v-deo.html
Their music has been timeless and never gets old. ❤️
Best music ever.

There will NEVER be another David Ruffin. The most iconic voice that ever came out of Motown.
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.
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.
David Ruffin's voice is insane! all of them! pure talent. Autotune not needed for these guys!
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 👩🏻🏫👏🏻🥰‼️

One of the best voices of all time.
This movie made me fall in love with The Temptations and David Ruffin in particular
I'm 62 and I was raised to this kind of music. love it and this kind of music can not be replaced ❤
Hi I'm 67 yrs old, this is music. Bring back music. Remember the good old days 🎉🎉❤❤😊
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
one of the greatest eras of music. anyone with a heart felt the music made in that time period.
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!!
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.
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.

Right there with you, brother.
My most favorite Temptations song. The lyrics are so special and David’s vocals are out of this world. 👏👏👏❤️
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.
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.
We had the best music in the 50and 60 and 70 love it always Timmie Thompson
Yeah! I'm 75 & I love all the Ol
dies but goodies❤
We can't go wrong with old school Absolutely Wonderful Music 🎶 , YEAH !!! 😊
Marvelous, absolutely Marvelous!!
Im 74 and miss these guts sooo much
I'm 63 and Motown gave us the BEST music!! The Temptations are one of my favorites!
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!

Those Temptations the Greatest of All Time. Love Love Love The Temptations Forever. RIP Gone but will Forever Be Remembered. 💔 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Eternal beautiful music. Thank you for your talent. A privilege for my ears.
Wish we could go and tell them not to take drugs and alcohol and show them their future. Temptations 4ever❤️🔥💯
David’s voice adds life to the song like no other.
Almost 60 years on my All-Time Top 10 list. Time has never dulled their tremendous appeal.
Amen !
I Wholeheartedly Agree ❤
Yes!!!
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.
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!.
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 🎉🎉🎉

David Ruffin voice can't be duplicated. You feel what he sings!
Thats what you call music I love old school music
Beautiful and love the words
This is what we call music!!!
The guys had the voices
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
@@valeriereaves4096thank you😊
Notice that they don’t have any crude lyrics just utter perfection.
And that was when msic was really music and not screaming all over the place. Singers then really poured out their heart.
So blessed to have this music growing up! ❤🎉🙏
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
Greatest group of all time and Smoky Robinson wrote the songs. Wow!
Not this one.
Norman Whitfield
When I was in Viet Nam that's what made us do our jobs. And white guy from Boston back then I am 75yrs old.
Thank You for Your service.
David knocked it out of the park with this performance. Awesome.
awsome one of my favorites,🫶
💋
Love David Ruffin ❤
fantastic song
I luv❤ how david did the little dance walkin to the microphone
I love them to death
@VitoHoffaentertainment me too I watched that part several times 😊
😢
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.
Music at its best....
David Ruffin and Levi Stubbs the 2 best lead singers ever!
1 of the rarest voices that would’ve made the cut on the “4 chair” turn around.
I never got tired of listening to anything out of Motown! Nothing, but excellence!❤ ❤❤
Damn they jamming in the background!!🔥🔥🔥 I love the Motown sound.❤❤
RESPECT!!!!!💪🏾❤️
Back again for good music and wonderful childhood memories…This record played in our house hold often… Thanks
That electrifying voice of David can't be beat. Rip ❤
Temptations always my favorite group. David Ruffin had unique and fantastic voice .
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
What a great voice
This when music was music. They sing back then..had moves and dressed alike
GOD gave them a gift, and they used it to the ultimate. As a duo, they left us with beautiful music forever ordain in time. Thanks.
My favorite group of singers .
That harmony makes me shed a tear. So, so good!!! Miss this level of music.
Song written by a man who lost his wife to another man, that following Christmas , before he had even had a chance to hear the song, he took his own life as the pain was to great for him to indure. This song touches so many people. I hope he can feel the love from here
I thought Smokey Robinson wrote this
GREAT MUSIC 🎶 NOTHING LIKE IT TODAY ALL RESPECT FOR WOMEN WOW
These men were so clean and distinguished.
I grew up loving these guys. Never had a clue of all the fighting and fussing going on behind the curtain. They were one great group. 💔
Love this group David and Eddie are amazing singers ❤❤
Couldn't imagine growing up without Motown. I like all kinds of music, but I could never get tired of Motown.
So much soul.😊
Best ❤😢need more
I love their poses as David begins singing the first verse. You can tell these dudes ain’t come too play. They about to wreck shit!!!!
Oh my God, could these guys sing. David's voice, so soulful,, sexy and filled with pain in this song. RIP, David.
Memories ❤❤❤
David Ruffin was a bad boy on the mic 💪🏿
WOW! I saw these at their peak in the early 1970's
Fabulous! Wish they were here now!
He has a very spiritual voice
Wow temps forever what a sound love them I am 73 yrs but brought up on motown and temps greatest group In the world xx
Temptations one of the best groups ever.
this song alone earns all of them a spot in the HOF.
Put all our biases aside and listen to this, it's awesome
