I like David Ruffin and Paul Williams voices when they sing lead parts but my two favorite lead singers on The Temptations are Dennis Edwards and Eddie Kendricks they're my favorites and I love their lead songs the best.
Now we get to see Eddie Kendricks take the lead.Love Pauls Williams part also.They sounded so good.Different songs needed a different voice.They just knew how to put each song together which made the Temps so appealing.Check out the Temps"The way you do the things you Do",and"Get Ready."both lead by Eddie Kendricks.
One if the BEST verses was left out: "Soon, we'll be married, and raise a family. A cozy, little home, out in the country-- with 2 children, maybe 3. I tell you I can visualize it all. This couldn't be a dream, for too real it all seems..." Although it may border on fixation--even psychopathic, I personally think it's one of the most BEAUTIFUL songs I've ever heard...
Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" is a song by American soul group The Temptations, written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong. Released on the Gordy (Motown) label, and produced by Norman Whitfield, it features on the group's 1971 album, Sky's the Limit.
That was a SHORTENED version of the song...there's another verse that begins, "Soon we'll be married and raise a family..." SO, please find the full version and take a listen! They probably had to shorten the song for the TV show abnd YES, that's Eddie Kendrick from Bullock Co. Alabama, where my mom and dad were born an raised...AND, there's a mural painting of Eddie on one the buildings there in Union Springs, AL.
Anything Motown was great. I loved the 60s and 70s. Its was a hard time and a good time to be alive. We had great music, meaningful music and fun music.
You said you were diving into the Temps. Thanks for this. As the Nor' Easter approaches, lol. We are gonna melt that snow with some hot licks from the Temps!! Sullivan? Likely a live performance! Whoo! Chills already! That's Eddie. Yes Mel. Sad. Oh the Temps could deliver it all. Is that Paul? I'm singing along. So sorry to be going on and on.Oh I have had crushes and the lady had no idea I existed, yes.
Glad you are doing more of their songs. Love the Temptations music. This is part of the Motown era & they had a lot of hits in the 60's - 80's such as "Ain't Too Proud To Beg", "I Wish It Would Rain", "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)", "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone", "I Can't Get Next To You", "Treat Her Like A Lady", "My Girl" etc. They were known for their harmonies, choreography & dress style.
Shawn & Mel, per Wikipedia: "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" is a song by American soul group The Temptations, written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong. Released on the Gordy (Motown) label, and produced by Norman Whitfield, it features on the group's 1971 album, Sky's the Limit. When released as a single, "Just My Imagination" became the third Temptations song to reach number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The single held the number 1 position on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart for two weeks in 1971, from March 27 to April 10. "Just My Imagination" also held the number one spot on the Billboard R&B Singles chart for three weeks, from February 27 to March 20 of that year. Today, "Just My Imagination" is considered one of the Temptations' signature songs, and is notable for recalling the sound of the group's 1960s recordings. It is also the final Temptations single to feature founding members Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams. During the process of recording and releasing the single, Kendricks left the group to begin a solo career, while the ailing Williams was forced to retire from the act for health reasons. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine listed "Just My Imagination" as number 389 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song was covered by the Rolling Stones on their Some Girls album in 1978. A full orchestral arrangement with strings and French horns adorning a bluesy rhythm track and bass line provides the instrumentals. Music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine of allmusic notes that the song is narrated by a man who imagines a relationship with the woman he loves, is canny enough to realize that his daydreams are fiction, yet is overwhelmed by them. The lyrics capture his resignation to his fantasies. The song as a whole captures their full emotional effect on him. The first two verses establish the theme and explore the narrator's daydreams, in which he and the object of his affections are lovers preparing to be married, to "raise a family" and build "a cozy little home / out in the country / with two children, maybe three". In the bridge, the narrator prays that he will never lose her love to another, or he will "surely die". By introducing this doubt, the musical bridge simultaneously connects the movement from dream to reality, completed when the final lines shift from imagery to bald statement: "But in reality / she doesn't even know me". For Erlewine, "the Temptations' performance has a dream-like quality, quietly drifting through the singer's hopes and desires."
"Just My Imagination" was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid. Love your reaction to it. The lead singer is Eddie Kendricks, who had an amazing falsetto. But check out The Stylistics singing "Betcha By Golly Wow" a love song from the Philly International record company. Philly soul competed with Motown and had big hits too. You should check out some Philly soul also.
That's Paul Williams singing that part every night on my knees I pray he's one of my faves him and Eddie were in a group with Diana Ross before The Temptations and they were excellent.
This song takes me back to high school (early '70's) when the teachers did a talent show. A black male teacher sang this song and we were all very impressed.
Wow ! Y’all bringing back memories of my very early childhood. My mom was a huge Temptations fan, and one album I remember in particular was a live album recorded with the Supremes called “TCB “(Taking Care Of Business)
Such a strong reminder how fortunate are those folks who have a loving partner to share life with. I'm not one, so I can really appreciate this. Never take that person for granted!
This was Eddie Kendrick singing. The great Eddie Kendrick. He left the Temps in the early 70’s and had some great solo hits. Keep on Trucking is one of them great song!
Shawn you are precious. You were groovin in the first part where he had the girl, and when he said it was just his imagination you guys both had mouths dropped and looked stunned. So real. Love you guys.
Great song, love these tempting Temptation's songs, you two have been playing!! Great song and yes, it is sad and yes, they call pull at your heartstrings!!
Shout out to the late Norman Whitfield who wrote and produced a lot of the Temptation later hits, like Papa was Rolling Stone, Ball of Confusion, Just Imagination and other notable songs.
This song hits so hard, I'm glad you picked up on that. I definitely had daydreams about beautiful women I've seen walking by haha I'll envision a life with them, then the light turns green and I go on when my life haha beautiful song ♥️
I just love you two. Your chemistry and your reactions are the best. Yes all the Temptations could take lead several of them had solo careers including the late great Eddie Kendricks. I hope to see you explore some of his material.Girl you need a change of mine, Can I, keep on truckin, Date with the rain, Boogie down, are a few of his hits.
I had dreams about a young lady in H.S. the same way that I was too scared to ever approach and tell her the way I felt. I'm sure there are many other people out there (Men & Women) that's had the same experience and probably regrets it. Ya'll keep doin' great things and remember, It's harder to make a relationship work than not! Love You! Hey, not sure if you've reacted to Paolo Nutini "Iron Sky" Live Session but if you haven't you won't be disappointed and I would love to see it, Thanks!
The whole country stopped at 7:00 sunday to watch THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW. The whole family watched together. Don't forget that the Beatles made their U.S. debut on this show also. At this time ( late 50's?) most large cities only had 3 or 4 channels so great programming was VERY limited. I don't think you'll enjoy the ending to that film all that much. Just my opinion.
Mr. Styn - It’s rare that someone brings up Paolo Nutini. I had his first cd back in the ‘90s but I somehow forgot about him until I thought of new shoes which reminded me of him. I must revisit his music.
Another great song by "The Temptations" that's why I LOVE ❤ this channel. Please don't stop, till you squeezed every single (no pun intended)hit from the 60s 70s 80s. I'll ride this bus with you. ❤🎤🎼
Written by Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield and released in 1971 on the Gordy record label Motown. It was sung beautifully by Eddie Kendricks and the Temptations Awesome.
OMG!! Thanks for playing this great great version. The Beatles Elvis Presley the mamas and the papas almost everybody that you played from the 60s part of the 70s were all on the Ed Sullivan show I was a kid I got to see that show and I saw the Beatles and Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show
Mel, you're right. Ed Sullivan had his variety show on television from the 1950s into the 1970s. Many great musical acts as well as comedy and sometimes Broadway made it to a national audience on Ed Sullivan. One could say this show was to variety entertainment shows what Johnny Carson was to late night programs... the one all others are measured by.
@@dianafrost936 I enjoyed the music. I remember The Beatles, Temptations, Stones, The Doors...could go on all night. But he definitely had every act you could imagine. And probably some you didn't think you'd like
The Temptations biopic is really good. I've seen it twice. When you're read for more from The Temptations check out some of these classics: "The Way You Do the Things You Do" (1964), "Since I Lost My Baby" (1965), "Get Ready" (1966), "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" (1966), "(I Know) I'm Losing You" (1966), "I Can't Get Next to You" (1969), "Cloud Nine" (1969), and "Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)" (1971) along with many others.
I used to Walk back and forth to work eveey day for years and listened to this on my headphones. Walking by homes that I envisioned myself living in. And always remembering this song ♡
When my youngest daughter was 5 I bought an album titled TNT. The Temptations vs The Four Tops. It's awesome & I still listen to it. Not one scratch on that vinyl. LoL anyways she heard this song. Then we heard it play again then again. I thought the record was skipping. No she was putting the needle back at the beginning. By the third time she heard it she had memorized the whole song. For 2 yrs after every time she didn't believe what someone was saying she started singing "well it was just your imagination running away with you....." She's still a character today & that's still her favorite song
Step into the Motown rabbit hole and be amazed I've been listening to Black American Soul music since I was 11/12yrs old and still am 56yrs later never gets old never check out The Four Tops ...The Supremes..The Isley Brothers.. Martha and the Vandellas...Gladys Knight and The Pips Motown days...GOAT...BEAR HUGS FROM DUBLIN. IRELAND
My husband used to watch me everyday going to class in high school from the 3rd floor. My husband loves this song! We married, have 3 kids. Celebrating our 50th March 2023🎉
If you want to hear some more of Eddie Kendricks singing lead you need to get the song Get Ready from The Temptations and listen to that Eddie sings most of the lead on that song as well.
The singer was Eddie Kendricks and this was the last time he recorded with the Temptations. He left and had a solo career. I hope you do a reaction to Ain't Too Proud To Beg, Wish It Would Rain, The Way You Do The Things You Do, I Could Never Love Another After Lovin' You, Don't Look Back, etc. And do another reaction to My Girl using another video. That was not David Ruffin's voice or the rest of the Temptations. Those voices sound like they came from the movie.
the hits just never stopped back in those days. Rock, Motown, Pop or even country western, their was so much great music in the 60s and 70s. we were spoiled. Nothing like it these days.
Oh this was just wonderful! What a great video you picked, seeing them perform it live was like hearing it again for the first time. :). I am really enjoying this Temptation rabbit hole. Have a wonderful day!
this was such a good beautiful song....i never knew the meaning of the lyrics...til i saw this....thank you guys....thats eddie kendricks btw....yalll should so kendrick's ' keep on truckin' A+++++
Yes, Ed Sullivan gave a platform to so many singers,commedians, and perfornmers. He was the one to watch to see new talent and if they came back time and again they were making it. Even Steppenwolf made their Debut on Ed's show. He didn't look to comfortable with them,but they came back time after time. I remember him Introducing them as the Long Haired Rock and Rollers Steppenwolf.Many many black artist and groups were regulars.We always loved to watch his show.
Eddie Kendricks was so cool and smooth in his singing and Paul Williams was an underrated singer with the Temps when he also sings in this classic. He did one of their songs called, 'I want a Love I can see'. It was right up their with some of the songs David Ruffin did.
Temptations, man, you're dealing with rarified air. The melodies, the harmonies, the message. Top tier stuff.
Yep true masterpiece singers😍 awesomeness 👏❤️👏
The Temptations rocked! This & “My Girl” were the best slow dance songs when I was in hs. 👏✌️❤️🎶
You can't beat The Temptations. I could listen to them every day and always be happy.
I like David Ruffin and Paul Williams voices when they sing lead parts but my two favorite lead singers on The Temptations are Dennis Edwards and Eddie Kendricks they're my favorites and I love their lead songs the best.
Now we get to see Eddie Kendricks take the lead.Love Pauls Williams part also.They sounded so good.Different songs needed a different voice.They just knew how to put each song together which made the Temps so appealing.Check out the Temps"The way you do the things you Do",and"Get Ready."both lead by Eddie Kendricks.

and raise a family.
A cozy, little home,
out in the country--
with 2 children, maybe 3.
I tell you I can visualize it all.
This couldn't be a dream,
for too real it all seems..."
Although it may border on fixation--even psychopathic, I personally think it's one of the most BEAUTIFUL songs I've ever heard...
Yes, they missed that verse. You guys should react to the studio version.
That was my younger self whenever I had a crush on a movie star or singer.
Time restrictions
That's my best all time temptation hit, so mad when Eddie left the group

That's actually the 2nd verse. Not the beginning
So beautiful written. So beautiful to song. Been here done that. Shawn you got it. Eddie Kendricks.
This is one of the greatest songs ever.
After all these years their music gives me chills. Love the Temps.
Absolutely Amazing 😘😍🥰
The intro to papa was a rolling stone is still one of my all time favorites!
My 2nd FAVORITE Tempts song to my #1. Papa Was a Rolling Stone".
Anything Motown was great. I loved the 60s and 70s. Its was a hard time and a good time to be alive. We had great music, meaningful music and fun music.
Another great song from one of the greats !!
Love Me Some Eddie Kendrick My Favorite Temptation May He Forever Rest In Heaven 🌹♥️
Oh thank you for this reaction. Absolutely love their music
You can never go wrong with the Temptations!
Never!!
Especially the classic line up: David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin and Otis Williams.
You said you were diving into the Temps. Thanks for this. As the Nor' Easter approaches, lol. We are gonna melt that snow with some hot licks from the Temps!! Sullivan? Likely a live performance! Whoo! Chills already! That's Eddie. Yes Mel. Sad. Oh the Temps could deliver it all. Is that Paul? I'm singing along. So sorry to be going on and on.Oh I have had crushes and the lady had no idea I existed, yes.
One of my favs!!! Great choice 👌
Its Eddie Kendricks singing the verses on this song guys 💕 and Paul Williams on lead !!!!! Just became a subcriber of you guys !!!
Glad you are doing more of their songs. Love the Temptations music. This is part of the Motown era & they had a lot of hits in the 60's - 80's such as "Ain't Too Proud To Beg", "I Wish It Would Rain", "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)", "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone", "I Can't Get Next To You", "Treat Her Like A Lady", "My Girl" etc. They were known for their harmonies, choreography & dress style.
I grew up hearing one of most smoothest group of all times😍
Eddie Kendrick..yes baby..love this song, one of my Temps favorites.

But check out The Stylistics singing "Betcha By Golly Wow" a love song from the Philly International record company. Philly soul competed with Motown and had big hits too. You should check out some Philly soul also.
Not just the Stylistics, but all those Philly Groups. Between Motown and Philly they will be in the rabbit hole for years!
this was the late guitarist Mr Eddie Willis fav song he ever played on as a Funk Brother
Don’t forget Stax.
The harmony was impeccable. But please listen to the studio version because this a shorten version.
Eddie was good when he sang in his natural tenor in his solo career too.
Yes, that is Eddie Kendricks. Paul Williams at 3:56 of your video.
Good, good music. Perfect warm summer day music.
Still one of the most beautiful songs ever! Regardless of the subject matter.
Temptations what more has to be said. ❤😎
That's Paul Williams singing that part every night on my knees I pray he's one of my faves him and Eddie were in a group with Diana Ross before The Temptations and they were excellent.
This song and the Temptations are phenomenal ! ❤️
I love the Temptations! This is another beautiful sad song.
You knew you made it when you got on "The Ed Sullivan Show".
This song takes me back to high school (early '70's) when the teachers did a talent show. A black male teacher sang this song and we were all very impressed.
Wow ! Y’all bringing back memories of my very early childhood. My mom was a huge Temptations fan, and one album I remember in particular was a live album recorded with the Supremes called “TCB “(Taking Care Of Business)
This is music! I miss my dad singing and dancing along to many songs by the Temptations🎶❤
I ❤ everything The Temptations do!
The Temptations Treat Her Like A Lady live at the Apollo is a must to react to!
Ok Brandon we got you…
Such a strong reminder how fortunate are those folks who have a loving partner to share life with. I'm not one, so I can really appreciate this. Never take that person for granted!
This was Eddie Kendrick singing. The great Eddie Kendrick. He left the Temps in the early 70’s and had some great solo hits. Keep on Trucking is one of them great song!
One of their best songs . This is a rare live version .
One of my favorite songs of all time. It is so beautiful musically even thought lyrics are sad
Shawn you are precious. You were groovin in the first part where he had the girl, and when he said it was just his imagination you guys both had mouths dropped and looked stunned. So real. Love you guys.
Great song, love these tempting Temptation's songs, you two have been playing!! Great song and yes, it is sad and yes, they call pull at your heartstrings!!
I had that 45 record back in the 70's.
I loved how they sang that. ❤
One of my favorite Temptations songs. They were so great.
Shout out to the late Norman Whitfield who wrote and produced a lot of the Temptation later hits, like Papa was Rolling Stone, Ball of Confusion, Just Imagination and other notable songs.

Yes, that is the late Eddie Kendricks singing lead. The Temptations were the king's of Motown and Ed Sullivan was the best in showcasing great talent.
the Temps, Four Tops, so many hits, R&B as it was meant to be
Smokey is a poet the GOAT
Written by Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield and released in 1971 on the Gordy record label Motown. It was sung beautifully by Eddie Kendricks and the Temptations Awesome.
60's and 70's R & B. was sooooo smooth and fun to dance to when I was young 😏🤗
OMG!! Thanks for playing this great great version. The Beatles Elvis Presley the mamas and the papas almost everybody that you played from the 60s part of the 70s were all on the Ed Sullivan show I was a kid I got to see that show and I saw the Beatles and Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show

i was in that boat when this song came out. I was only 13 though.
The second greatest song ever recorded - after My GIrl, also by the Temptations.
quality of interpreting a song from the singers of times gone by was amazing. 🎶🎶🎶👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
One of my all time favorites.
The Temptations biopic is really good. I've seen it twice. When you're read for more from The Temptations check out some of these classics: "The Way You Do the Things You Do" (1964), "Since I Lost My Baby" (1965), "Get Ready" (1966), "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" (1966), "(I Know) I'm Losing You" (1966), "I Can't Get Next to You" (1969), "Cloud Nine" (1969), and "Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)" (1971) along with many others.

Martha and the Vandellas...Gladys Knight and The Pips Motown days...GOAT...BEAR HUGS FROM DUBLIN. IRELAND
was blessed to have know the late Mr Eddie Willis who played on this song and he said this was his fav song he ever did as a Funk Brother
Love love love the Temptations!standing in the Shadows of Love is a good one to hear
Huge hit makers and still performing.
Thank you again!!
My husband used to watch me everyday going to class in high school from the 3rd floor. My husband loves this song! We married, have 3 kids. Celebrating our 50th March 2023🎉
always requested this song on the radio ... they played it for me. great memories
Rip To All The Temptations Who Are No Longer With Us, We Still Miss You Guy's
🖤 it!
Its just a song of love this came out during my grade school days it has a special place fot me!.
I love both of your expressions on this from the beginning. You two are sweet. This was one of my all time favorite groups back then.
If you want to hear some more of Eddie Kendricks singing lead you need to get the song Get Ready from The Temptations and listen to that Eddie sings most of the lead on that song as well.
I grew up, in Detroit, listening to great music from groups like the Temptations, Supremes, Four Tops.
The singer was Eddie Kendricks and this was the last time he recorded with the Temptations. He left and had a solo career. I hope you do a reaction to Ain't Too Proud To Beg, Wish It Would Rain, The Way You Do The Things You Do, I Could Never Love Another After Lovin' You, Don't Look Back, etc. And do another reaction to My Girl using another video. That was not David Ruffin's voice or the rest of the Temptations. Those voices sound like they came from the movie.
Motown music was such a big part of my early teen years. Wonderful music
Love this song , always has been one I listen to often. Hope you'll play the Chi- Lites, Have you seen her. Another great song.
This was one of my favorites!
the hits just never stopped back in those days. Rock, Motown, Pop or even country western, their was so much great music in the 60s and 70s. we were spoiled. Nothing like it these days.
My favorite song of all time.
Oh this was just wonderful! What a great video you picked, seeing them perform it live was like hearing it again for the first time. :). I am really enjoying this Temptation rabbit hole. Have a wonderful day!
Beautiful song…best reaction…go O’s
this was such a good beautiful song....i never knew the meaning of the lyrics...til i saw this....thank you guys....thats eddie kendricks btw....yalll should so kendrick's ' keep on truckin' A+++++
Great reaction! So sad but oh so smooth! Please check out the classic - I'm Gonna Make You Love Me (1968) by The Supremes and The Temptations.
Yes! I just heard it on Spotify! I’M GONNA MAKE YOU LOVE ME.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw your comment. Please do this song. You’ll love it.
Ugghh another great group and song!
Love this song so damn much
Yes, Ed Sullivan gave a platform to so many singers,commedians, and perfornmers.
He was the one to watch to see new talent and if they came back time and again they were making it.
Even Steppenwolf made their Debut on Ed's show. He didn't look to comfortable with them,but they came back time after time.
I remember him Introducing them as the Long Haired Rock and Rollers Steppenwolf.Many many black artist and groups were regulars.We always loved to watch his show.
Love this song.
Love your reaction.
Shawn you remind me of the actor Idris Elba, that’s a good thing.
I’m sure Mel would agree.
The Temptations were huge, & one of the best R&B & soul groups to ever come out of Motown.
Eddie Kendricks was so cool and smooth in his singing and Paul Williams was an underrated singer with the Temps when he also sings in this classic. He did one of their songs called, 'I want a Love I can see'. It was right up their with some of the songs David Ruffin did.
Growing up to the sounds of Motown was so impactful words cannot describe. These artists were true masters of their craft. Best Music ever
Motown told the best stories to best musical arrangements
