the Harmony straight pure Eddie's 1st tenor perfection Paul's baritone structured them chords masterfully my opinion the greatest male quintet of all time
yes that acapella version of my girl could never be reduplicated DAVID RUFFIN voice is absolutely impeccable!!! I really doubt that any singer today could imitate his silkin soulful voice not taking anything from the rest of the group but we all know that David`s and Eddie`s voice were the backbone of the group but all them togather brought their own gift to the group and I think I can speak for all TEMPTATIONS lovers that we will always think and love all of the temptations soul and funk they brought to the our lives TEMPTATIONS FOREVER ............
I can still see them on the stage in NY at the Copacabana. The voices were impeccable and the ease and grace of their performance kept you spell bound. Couldn't take your eyes off them.
this was magnificent! I don't even have the words to express the talent that these guys have. especially David . God bless you all and for all of those who have passed away... may you forever rest in peace. you can never ever be replaced.💘 💘 💘 💘
I am happy I lived in the days when this music was new and this is what we danced and balled to. Nothing today can compare to this Soul music from the golden age of real singers and musicians. Thank you for uploading this so we who love it can live it again, and those who didn't can learn what real music is.
Profiles in Pittsburgh Allegheny County PA it's late in the morning or early in the morning but I'm listening to this my girl little music is behind the scene of The Temptations and I finally hear brother Otis Williams coming through with my girl. I've heard all the rest of the lead singers but I'm so sorry that it took so long for me to truly hear him and his voice. Thank you for keeping this song in your files. Turning 80 and listening to all the songs over the years this one I like the best because of all your voices and the harmony without the music over playing the loveliness of all of you vocalists in the Motown musical industry. Sister forever Nora Parker
David Ruffin was an awesome singer. But it cannot be understated the importance of Melvin Franklin(bass) and Eddie Kendricks(1st tenor) to the Temptations' harmony. They were the bookends of the sound. The original lineup will always be the ONE; #respect. Thank you so much for posting this video Taylor Made.
Thank you for this rare post. I have never seen or heard this a Capella version before. Perfect pitch, perfect timing, prefect harmonies, precision moves, and never even slightly off key. All with no music to hide their raw talent. These were all just kids off the street at the time. The Original Temptations. Now can anybody show me talent like this today? lol I didn't think so!
I love this bareknuckle performance with very low music background! The Temptations set the bar so high that subsequent vocal groups with loads of talent couldn't reach the Temps bar that was visual as well as audio! And let's not forget the pivotal role that Cholly Atkins played in honing the Temptations choreography that had men in the audience mesmerized, and the women in the audience swooning and ooh-ing!
I learned about this song from watching Cooly High as a kid in the 1980's when Preacher was holding on too Brenda I said Dam!!! He do got a sweetie song then the birds in the trees...
TEMPTATIONS FOREVER.THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER GROUP OF ENTERTAINERS IN ANY WAY ,SHAPE OR FORM..R&B,POP,COUNTRY,RAP,ROCK.WHO COULD EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE PERFECTION AND DEDICATION THAT THESE GENTLEMAN DISPLAYED FOR THEIR CRAFT.
@gregnormal5101 I admired their dedication to perfection as a unit. I do not adhere to placing labels on myself. Those labels that others fall for I scrutinize the exact meaning of the root word. Fan is a fanatic, which means you are subconsciously admitting to being a fanatic, lack of control. Look it up, I am sure that you know. This group of men reminded me of my father. They would be in my father's age range because I was just a toddler when they were really coming on the scene. However, perfection is noted, but like I stated, I admire them, I am not a fanatic over any man made objects. I hope that I am clear. This was a peculiar question 🤔...
lol eddie and otis are so cute when they were looking at eachother laughing, when otis was a half second late on the move at 'what'. and david singing is so perfect. i love them all !
My skin is all prickly, this is totally just absolutely wonderful...just a shame I cannot share this on FB as the young ones need to know what real music is all about...thank god I know.
And to keep the group going. It's amazing that these people have no idea about the group other than the mini - series. Without Otis there would not have been "Treat Her Like A Lady" or Stay or Papa Was a Rollin Stone etc..
The point about this great cut is that these men are the best vocal group of their kind the world has ever seen. Try finding something to equal their brilliance anywhere on UA-cam.
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day When it's cold outside I've got the month of May Well I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way? My girl (my girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl) I've got so much honey the bees envy me I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees Well I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way? My girl (my girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl ooh) Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Ooh yeah I don't need no money, fortune, or fame (ooh hey hey hey) I've got all the riches baby one man can claim (oh yes I do) I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way? My girl (my girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl) I've got sunshine on a cloudy day With my girl (My girl) (Talkin' 'bout my girl my girl) I've even got the month of May With my girl (My girl, woah) She's all I can think (my girl) (Talkin' 'bout my girl my girl) Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl, woah)
can hear their great voice quality in acapella mode, sounds better. This is the one song that everyone seemed to like the most, was never one of my favorites until I heard this version. Thanks!
The voices are acapella and they have headsets on listening to the music as they sing to put the actual record together. The voices were then dubbed over the video to produce this video. But the voices were not stripped from a recording. Think about how it used to be done back in the day. A lot of voice work and then it would be mastered in with music.
Oh yeah, he's correct...this is what it sounded like in the recording booth, they could hear music in their headsets for chord progression, and keeping time....this recording is outstanding, hard to imagine having a voice as rich as Ruffin's was....he was incredible, as was the group as a whole....amazing...
This song was released Dec 1964, I was 7 1/2 years old and my Dad sang it to me regularly. Miss you Dad !!!💜
Those voices I’ve heard all my life, never realizing they sounded this beautiful. The definition of soul…
Verdade!
This was the first time I listened to this song and didn't sing along, I wasn't even tempted... I do not dare sing over such a lovely voice.
Ha! *TEMPTED*
lol
AClarionCallMinistry Budum tisssss!

@@michaelwilson6152 True, great harmony......Only the Tempts
Amazing how Ruffin got sooo much soul in every note he sung. Still sends chills up and down my spine.
You really appreciate the background and harmonies so much more when you listen without the instruments.
sometimes is just better acapella, makes you realize how much talent there was in the group
REALLY 👏👏👏👏
Tombstone twin ny city happy new year to you and your family and your kids are great peace ny
separates the gifted and talented
Perfectly constructed group...Each brought something special.
The perfection is bringing me to tears...
i sent yo now power cose yo deserve it.... no thanks (7th Sense)

The Funk Brothers must have been moonlighting downtown that night.
Too cool.

Glad I grew up in a time of great music, lyrics, and singers! First time I heard the acapella. That was great!
Otis and Paul Williams are so darn handsome, Paul the best dancer???💕💕💕💕💕
Straight Up.... No Chaser. Just real Singing. Temptations Forever!

A lot of people can sing to music, but not very many can sound like this with nothing but beautiful voices and harmony.
I always love this style of performance. These guys have some real class.
The greatest vocal group that ever done it.male or female
Always reminds me how lucky I am to have an amazing daughter, I am truly blessed x

Wow! What great voices they all had! Really makes me cry about the loss of such wonderful talent!

No there isn't, talented, beautiful voices, dancers, best dressers, and and all of these guys so handsome,
David Ruffin was one cool dude.
Until drugs happened
@@flyinggordonproductions4875You can't hold that against him, because most entertainers do drugs.
I love this bareknuckle performance with very low music background!

Otis harmonizes so well.... Wish I could do that.
*Great upload full of soul*
My Girl
I learned about this song from watching Cooly High as a kid in the 1980's when Preacher was holding on too Brenda I said Dam!!! He do got a sweetie song then the birds in the trees...
They way he sang “honey” was so clear and pure.
Eddie and Otis so darn handsome 💕💕
Wow! The moves and the voices! Incredible!
The real vocal test is singing a cappella. And these boys passed with flying colors.
AMEN
Sabrina Dubois they are not boys they are grown ass man
David Ruffin, such a unique classy voice, none since has sounded like him.
Never, ever was there a as great a combination of voices in such harmony...
Pure gold, this just shows how good they were, but we know that 😘😘😘😘
The way they did on the corner, street corner symphony to Smokey's great lyrics! My Song , My ringtone! David got it all!
I love when the base comes in! It reminds me of when the guys used to sing on the street corner. :)
THIS IS AWESOME. RUFF n" TUFF DAVID RUFFIN WAS IN A CLASS OF HIS OWN. DUDE COULD SING. HE AND SAM COOKE ARE MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MALES SINGERS.
this is the first time for me seeing this video. awesome!!! that is what you call talent to the first degree.

The greatest group of all time by far..The standard for which all groups are held by THE MAGNIFICENT TEMPTATIONS 😎😎😎!!!!
Hey now get down with the nitty gritty. The temptations have no peers when it comes to singing this song a capella
True talent. Brings so many memories. 💗💗💗
I never tire of listening wonderful David ❤
lol eddie and otis are so cute when they were looking at eachother laughing, when otis was a half second late on the move at 'what'. and david singing is so perfect. i love them all !
easily one of the BEST GROUPS OF THE 60'S IN EVERY WAY!!
My skin is all prickly, this is totally just absolutely wonderful...just a shame I cannot share this on FB as the young ones need to know what real music is all about...thank god I know.
This is beauty personified. No auto-tune needed at Motown. xx
That harmony is as beautiful as that new Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. Perfect.
I can't get over how good this is, i keep pressing that replay button, lol.
I LOVE THIS IT SOUNDS SO VERY GOOD, THANK YOU SHARING, MY GIRL.(A CAPELLA).
A rare group that makes want to watch the backing singers dance.
Otis..........last man standing.
+Ken Morgan *least. Otis may as well have been a traffic cone
There would be no temptations with out him he had the smarts and the drive to put the group together.
And to keep the group going. It's amazing that these people have no idea about the group other than the mini - series. Without Otis there would not have been "Treat Her Like A Lady" or Stay or Papa Was a Rollin Stone etc..
Ken Morgan Otis can't sing..he is like Mary backround singer
Otis had a beautiful voice what are you talking about
David Ruffin is Perfection
As butterball would say Tall Tan Talented Temptations, those were some soulful singing brothers.
the soul is overflowing in this song 😎😎🎵🎵🎵
I heard the music in the distant background...it's BEAUTIFUL either way ;)....
Awesome a true classic!
no one could have made this such a great song like david did
NO auto-tune!
The point about this great cut is that these men are the best vocal group of their kind the world has ever seen. Try finding something to equal their brilliance anywhere on UA-cam.
back then what you heard on the record was what you heard live they were that great
the original temptin temptations , THE BEST !
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THIS IS THE GREATEST GROUP OF ALL TIME!
BUT KEEP IT REAL THIS IS THE ORIGINAL TEMPTATIONS AND THAT'S IT!
WOWZA!!!! This is just perfect and I love it. I had never seen this before. Thanks so much!!!
CLASSIC , SMOOTH AND ITS WITHOUT MUSIC
1:20 that breakdown always kills me.........love the smoothness
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Immer noch unübertroffen. So Cool!

haha melvin is so awesome. without the music you can hear those awesome notes he sings. haha hes so awesome
Good golly. Brings back memories!
I grew up on this music! wow it was great.

I do not see anyone wearing a headset I do not think they needed a headset to sing this song that is how good they were.
Oh yeah, he's correct...this is what it sounded like in the recording booth, they could hear music in their headsets for chord progression, and keeping time....this recording is outstanding, hard to imagine having a voice as rich as Ruffin's was....he was incredible, as was the group as a whole....amazing...
