@@DJaySplitSecond I heard Flos recordings, they were basic. I'm sorry. Her voice was basic. Nothing flashy about it. Diana's Voice had color. I don't get this narrative that she was this powerhouse singer. I feel like people are giving her more credit because her story is sad. But I gotta call a thing a thing.
I've gotta say that Eddie Kendricks had the most beautiful voice I've ever heard . When he was in his prime like here, everything came out effortlessly.
@@jaylene.turner6524 big facts! People don’t realize how all of them really could sing. If you ask me, Otis was the voice that blended those distinctive voices together.
Barry Gordy shot the tempts to new heights with the recording of the mellow mood album he showed the industry the tempts versatility and man they tore it up by doing these Broadway standards
I give it to Berry he understood what needed to be done at the time. Cause the temptations weren't too happy with this album. Especially Paul and David. Back then Broadway was seen as White. It wasn't as multi cultural as it is now. It definitely made the industry take them more serious. The temps could sure sing anything
No disrespect to any other vocal group, which there's a plethora of them from all the different era's, but these dudes right here. Do y'all hear them? Absolutely, positively without any shadow of doubt simply The Best. They make you wanna holla and throw up both your hands, that's what Marvin said. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This Group no doubt should have been in te Hall of Fame. They were a very popular group in their day. So Talented. I Love ❤️ The Temptations. God Bless them they gave us a lot of Good Music
@markwilliams352 Thanks for the info. I love The Temptations So. I listen to them all the time and never get tired of listening to them. Wish and hope they got all the group deserve. For me they were The World's Greatest
So back in the day, white folks said that blacks couldn't harmonize and the Tempts proved them wrong. Of course my older sister and brother explained it to us, but I loved the way David Ruffin flowed back into the group, and it took many years later to actually see it again, thanks to UA-cam.
White folks said a lot of hateful and asinine things about black people but I never heard any say that. Even the most ignorant, braindead bigots from my white neighborhood knew that black singers were above and beyond white.
you are sounding as bad as the people you’re admonishing now- if someone can sing including harmony it doesn’t matter what color they are and no one has a lock on certain qualities because of it cmon
The fact that they are singing these songs shows their versatility. That is what made them so special and unique. This talent of these men has not been seen in a long time.

These brothers were way ahead of thier time! The best Soul R&B group ever! No other group can be compared!!!
I agree with you totally 💯 I can't stand those new temptations
Nothing, but truth
I think they were the best as well but I do think The Supremes merit comparison.
@@roberthill799 vocally?? No way man, Diana’s vocals weren’t even as strong as Flo’s that why Flo should have been the lead

Nice to hear Melvin sharing the lead vocals. What a fabulous singer he was!

Eddie's vocals were pure!! Lord!!
They could sing anything yall better sang!!!!
Eddie, my first crush, I’m 69 here in 2024
I got major chills when they sang "Steamboats are coming" like that! Perfection. 🙌🏿☺️
For me it was the"Suwanee, we are here"
Major Facts!
Best part of the song
God Rest Your Souls David, Eddie, Dennis, Paul, and Melvin. They'll Never Be Others Like You.
Add richard, ali woodson, and Damon Harris
@@jonathanmurphy4825 them dudes will never be great Singers like David, Eddie, Dennis, Paul, or Melvin.
@@jonathanclary3992 i mean Richard id say is as good
Don’t forget about Al without him there’s be no Temptations
@@jonathanmurphy4825 Glenn is still with us.
them boys had it !!!!
OMG I had no idea Melvin could sing that good, RIP Brother.
Absolutely! All of the temptations were VERY talented! 🤍🤍
All of them could sing.
Not just David and Eddie.

@@nelson_92 Thank you Nelson! You are one the few that got it right!!!

No one better then the original Temptations. From Bass to Tenor.

Wonderful. The Tempts and Supremes could sing anything - and often did.
David Ruffin made them really famous ... what a strong beautiful voice
The voices, the moves, their suits, The Temptations are the greatest of all time. Effortless Harmonies.

They were legends…but NOBODY could top the Four Tops.
@@teddyj.3198 I agree...
@@teddyj.3198 Why do y'all feel like you have tear down other groups to lift up your fave groups
@@aintnothingliketheoldskool With all due respect are you dumb? I literally called them “legends”. By what conception could that be tearing them down
@@aintnothingliketheoldskoolTruth is the truth. The Four Tops have sharper and lower harmony than the Tempts.....
I can listen to my tempts all day
These cats were world class talent and could do any genre.. even country if needed!! Wow!!
Absolutely well done it was nice the way Melvin starts it off then the harmony just blended right in nice job Paul
Temptations were way ahead of their time no question about that with singing jazz the mellow mood album had classic written all over it
Love This performance their choreography was always so tight and that signature bow after every performance
thier harmony is so tight I just love it just so wonderful thank you TEMPTATIONS
We can never disrespect the struggles of our ancestors. Thank you "The BEST of the Best " is the Temptations ❤️😂😢😮😅😊🎉, love me some Classic 5.
Love this group.
I love 💘 them more these 5 dudes the best wish the 4 were still here ! 2021
@@lindahines9380 they can take any song and make it their own.
Talented eye candy!♥️
Remembering George Gershwin who died on this day in 1937. A terrific performance by The Temptations!
These Brothers could sing anything!!! The Legacy continues today!! Temptations Forever!!
Wow beautiful!
O...m...g...!!! First ever seeing this and it was incredible!
This Group no doubt should have been in te Hall of Fame. They were a very popular group in their day. So Talented. I Love ❤️ The Temptations. God Bless them they gave us a lot of Good Music
They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.
@markwilliams352 Thanks for the info. I love The Temptations So. I listen to them all the time and never get tired of listening to them. Wish and hope they got all the group deserve. For me they were The World's Greatest
@@lestinecramer3534 Lestine: I'm right there with you. I grew up listening to them and have loved them since childhood. The absolute best!
Great!! I have that “ Live at the Copa” version.
The Classic Five! All that needs to be said.
My most elegant Eddie and his so dapper style.💖💋💋💋💋😎😎🙏🙏
Love this performance!

Let me specify that I meant in popular music of that era.
1967,Good year, Much creativity 😃😃😃😃😃😃😊😊.
The summer of love.
This is really amazing..
The best to ever do it!! Legendary hands down
My guys!!! Beautiful song.
they look so good in that color!💋🤎💋
Never heard any better harmony..church style
3:18 - 3:25 Ruffin it out! 😎🎤🎶🎶
David at 3:18 - “I am the Captain now!”
To me I think the Temptations had the best style out of all of the groups💯😂and on top of that there harmony was always on point 🤷🏽♂️
That's how you flow back into the group!
Wow they was just awesome ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Very talented real class
#LEGENDARY🎼🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤!!!
Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson KNEW what they had in their midst😂❤.
This original group were the best team in the Motown genre
Love the Temptations!! Men don’t do this anymore!
Love
So much class
If you can please upload more temptations clips thanks
Originals the very best, the temptations!🫂💋🫂

Where did you find this clip in such good quality!
Clip from the Smothers show
They could sing anything y'all better SANG😂😂😂!!!! YES!!!😅
when music 🎶 sounded good 👍 and made sense
Love❤
Peep the harmony
Temptations could sing the alphabet and make it sound good!
Sweet
The mellow mood album was a strange vibe for them. They sound great and I love them, but I see how this felt strange for them creatively.
Old man River
3:18 Impressive
I wonder what TV show this appearance took place on. I want to say The Hollywood Palace, but I'm not sure.
I wanna know myself so lol, I'm jumping in here.
@@larryray86 Looks the Ed Sullivan Show.
Smothers Brothers show....

Unbelievable

ASHE (×7)
Way to take a racist song and take the sting out of it!
0:30 Sound like Blue was saying the n word lel
He said NEAR YOU..... You're listening too hard....
@@NathanAHogan relax buddy I read the lyrics
Let the Temptations sing their own songs and not this Al Jolson black face song to appease the white audience.
The Temptations did sing their own songs but Berry Gordy wanted them to appeal to other audiences not just black audiences.
@@marellamofo That's very interesting because Motown had already crossed over to white audience appeal...
@@lennyanders1639 Yes they did and that’s why you’re looking at this video of them not singing their own songs.
The fact that they are singing these songs shows their versatility. That is what made them so special and unique. This talent of these men has not been seen in a long time.
@@marellamofo I love to hear them sing show tunes, they always do it better
