"Walk Away From Love"- The Temptations Reunion

1982- Temptations at Painters Mill, Maryland
Ten minutes of pure David Ruffin! I never got to see the Temptations Reunion live, but I know some people did. Does anyone know whether the other Temptations were on stage for David's songs? The ending makes it seem as though he is introducing them again. Either way, really happy with this video.
It seems David was doing this in honor of Van McCoy, who had passed away in 1979, just three years prior to the reunion.
Van McCoy, who was only 39 when he passed, worked with many artists including Ruffin. He also composed "The Hustle" which in my opinion is one of the most defining songs of the 70s.
Finally, I just want to add that at the end, when David says "I'm here now" is probably one of my favorite moments of this audio.
Please enjoy, thanks for watching!
