      Did you speak out or do anything about racism? That’s the problem people just take and take and let the injustice go on. You don’t have to announce yourself as a white guy, being white is not special.

      Mike, buddy, it's just the way we live now. When I was young, before cell phones, my parents listened to the news at night, but during the day they lived locally, were focused on family and friends, and doing things. Church, clubs, social interaction, PTA, gardening, talking, courting, listening to music and making music....living.
      Now, the phone and its aps rule us, we are focused on ourselves, we are meaner, uneasy, our government lies to us, and we worship our cultural icons. You get what you strive for.@@mikeh6511

      I mean, most musicians back then would lip synch when they performed on television, and this is an example of that, but yeah... I love the Temptations, and I love it when singers don't rely on a computer to make it sound like they can sing the right notes. Fuck auto-tune.

    So much talent and showmanship. The Temptations were a fantastic group. I've forgotten how good old Motown was.

      The firing of David Ruffin. At the time he was going steady with Dean Martin's daughter Barbra Gail Martin
      In June 1968, the Temptations agreed that Ruffin had finally crossed the line when he missed a June 22 Cleveland, Ohio, date with the Temptations in order to attend a performance by his new girlfriend, Barbara Gail Martin (Dean Martin's daughter).
      Five days later Ruffin was fired. He was replaced by Dennis Edwards, who had been a member of the Contours. Now that he was no longer wanted, Ruffin began to turn up at shows unannounced. When the Temptations would begin a song that Ruffin had sung lead on, he would walk out onto the stage and take the mic from Edwards. The fans loved it. The Temptations hated it. Still, the group decided to give Ruffin a second chance. He showed up late for what was supposed to be his comeback show in Gaithersburg, MD, and that was the end of that.
      popdose.com/soul-serenade-david-ruffin-my-whole-world-ended-the-moment-you-left-me/ His temper and drug abuse may have very well contributed to girlfriend Tammi Terrell death Read Wikipedia David Ruffin / he lied to Tammi proposing to her while being already married. drugs can bring out that devil in you. Had a girlfriend Jekyll Hyde.
      So sorry but truth can put a dagger in me 2 some time.
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ruffin#:~:text=In%20June%201968%2C%20the%20Temptations,Dean%20Martin%27s%20daughter).Her mother banned everybody from Motown attending Tammi Terrell's furneral except Marvin Gaye, according to her fiancé Dr, Ernest Garrett. yeah I no and I thought her and Marvin were tighter than friends.

    @ 1:07 the unsung bass hero James Jamerson with his unique style of two finger string plucking and the FUNK Brothers without which there would be no Motown as we remember it. And mad choreography from Cholly Atkins! The Swag of David Ruffin can't be ignored and Eddie was rumored to be the Man (to the ladies). A magical, fabulous time and thankfully these old clips are proof of that!

      In addition, a super BIG thanks to Mr David Ruffin for delivering such a master piece in the "My Girl",. We, your fans appreciated your hard work: I am honored to thank each of you "Temptations" getting us through much of the segregation and hatred this country has known during the times you all travelled and performed. Your music is timeless, ageless and unforgettable.

Mr David Ruffin is a remarkable man, a legend in his own right, gone way too soon,. Mr Eddie Kendrick's self assurance of style is on point; Mr Paul William's ideas, creativity, passion and action shows forth so beautifully in his choreography and dance routines; Mr Otis Williams is much adored for having substance and he is and was the brains and backbone of The Temptations and last but not least, Mr Melvin Franklin was so unique. Just love this group ever since my elementary years.

    I don't know about anyone else but I'm a 64: year black man and I'm blessed enough to have older siblings in my life . Our wonderful parents aren't with us anymore. But this music brings back tears of sadness and joy. For those of you who weren't born when this music came out I feel sorry for you but time moves on but what a great time we had this era brings back tears of sadness and joy. For those who had the opportunity to be there close your eyes and go back sometime it feels good...
