When they say they were the voices, it’s true. The bulk of the Temps classic 60’s hits, the lead singers were David and Eddie. U can dispute that all u want but it’s the truth.
The Classic Five personified twice. Their lead voices along with Paul, and Dennis Edwards later in the iteration made the legacy that is the Temptations. Rest in peace, brothers.
These 2 Brothers are it for me. Irreplaceable!. I sing a little bit, and i patterned my style after David. And Sweet Eddie, he was the Best. THEY WERE BORN to sing together. I can't stop watching this. Lew McMillan 🎉❤
I sing a little myself, and it is exciting and a special treat to see a performance like this of people you pattern yourself after (I come close to Eddie, but not real close 😄) Had the pleasure of meeting Eddie, Paul, and Melvin after one of their shows, back in the day and that is one of my biggest treasures. 🤩😁
Love these gentlemen. I seriously play the tempts all day everyday in my car, house wherever I can. Eddie, Paul and David are my favorite artist. Rip. I’m jealous of those who got to see them live. Thanks for the video. I don’t know how I never saw this. I hope we get the reunion of 82 in its completion one day.
That embrace atbthe end! These guys loved each other like brothers. Despite the hotheaded arguments, and fights in their younger days, how could they have known, when they first met back in the early '60s Motown that they would forge a lifelong friendship, performing, and touring together until their untimely passing, within a year of each other. The true beauty of friendship. Check it Out! Ciao!!l
Wow what a treat! Thank you Brune' and Nure" for this wonderful presentation! It was clear and sounded excellent! We appreciate this! WE even subscribed to your channel! Thank you! Thank you!
Wow! I just heard a NYMets player’s favorite song is My Girl! The Temptations will be at tonight’s game to perform. I really wish David Ruffin was still with us. I’m not a Met’s fan & I don’t listen to the Temptations since David left but I will tune in for their performance at the play off game🎤
That's because they are Temptations in name only. In reality, they are members of The Temptations Revue Featuring Otis Williams. An oldies act impersonating the hit repertoire of David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin, and Dennis Edwards. The same as Glenn Leonard's group and Dennis' before he passed away.
Funny, 3 missing from those classic early hits and you barely notice, no drop off with the “Voices” front and center. Never be another like Ruffin and Eddie the “K”.
David & Eddie should have stayed with the Temps. I can understand Eddie wanted to stay with the love songs, but with Norman Whitfield was going in another direction. Although the group have made some terrific songs. The likes of Smokey Robinson was busy with other projects. David Ruffin did do some great solo work, my favourite track was titled, Everything is coming up love. But just like Phillipe Wynne the lead singer of the Spinners, once you leave the a group that is so successful, it tough going, unless your multi talented, like Smokey Robinson.
Berry Gordy and Otis sabotaged David's career Otherwise he would have been very successful and put Otis's posers out of business and Gordy would have lost money
When you have a great songwriter that understands your talent, i.e., Smoky wrote "My Girl" for David specifically. You can clearly see how well that worked.
Otis contributed nothing to the performances and Paul had been gone a long time and Melvin didn't have a lot of parts so most of the performances were always David and Eddie
The older David Ruffin got, the stronger his voice became! Eddie never changed! The GOATS!
David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks the real temptations right here.
These two didn’t the need the group
David Ruffin is the greatest male vocalist of all time.
Pendergrass peabo smokey are close
Agree 100%
Ever heard of Rance Allen?
Smokey.
@@terrencebailey7567Also K C of Jodeci.
It's unfortunate both of these gifted legends are gone. Thankfully, their musical legacy lives on!
David could sing anything, I think he's the greatest singer Yahweh (God) ever created.
Teddy pendergrass piano Bryson Vandross Smokey all came close but David is THE MAIN MAN. Range and power! Not to forget Howard Hewitt too!
"Masters at work" I have idolized David Ruffin from the 1st time i laid eyes on him and sweet Eddie Kendrick. RIP BROTHERS. 1 love these Bad Boys.❤❤
The Voices the Greatest. They had the It factor.
David & Eddie Umm Umm Umm. So much talent the good memories they left us. Love Ya❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A masterclass of harmony, dance, and performance! The Temptations will be studied for eras to come
When they say they were the voices, it’s true. The bulk of the Temps classic 60’s hits, the lead singers were David and Eddie. U can dispute that all u want but it’s the truth.
The 2 of them together PURE MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES ❤
This is a gorgeous blend of vocals a falsetto and a raspy tenor its so good to listen to.
Ruffin was on one that night. Voice on one moved on one. 20 years later showing he still got it and can bring the people to they knees
Upfront truth, these two really enjoyed being Temptations from their smile singing these songs.
WOW , that was a real treat !!! Ahhh, the 60’s !!!! I grew up when these songs were new . Motown forever !! RIP Mr. Ruffin and Mr. Kendricks 🙏🏽
The only live footage of some of the temptations singing the girls alright with me
FINALLY! It's released of the two greatest faces of many of the Amazing Temptations.
They were great together.
David was the best to ever do it, when this man song it was beautiful, Damn near Perfect.
It was Perfect.
Two legends
The Classic Five personified twice. Their lead voices along with Paul, and Dennis Edwards later in the iteration made the legacy that is the Temptations. Rest in peace, brothers.
my favorite singer david ruffing the man with the glasses
Friends to the end never one to speak negative of one another.
DAVID SINGING HIS ASS OFF!!
These 2 Brothers are it for me. Irreplaceable!. I sing a little bit, and i patterned my style after David. And Sweet Eddie, he was the Best. THEY WERE BORN to sing together. I can't stop watching this. Lew McMillan 🎉❤
Will be nice to hear you sing.

Just magnificent!!!!!!!

It Grows--sound fantastic with that arrangement.
Beautiful!!
Great and thanks for sharing............
Upfront truth replacements Temps JUST CAN'T BRING the feelings of Ruffin feel to his songs.
That's because they are Temptations in name only. In reality, they are members of The Temptations Revue Featuring Otis Williams. An oldies act impersonating the hit repertoire of David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin, and Dennis Edwards.
The same as Glenn Leonard's group and Dennis' before he passed away.
Glad some appreciate this❤️
Simply the best.
🥰😍🤩💔❤🕊🕊🙏🏾
She for the true legend 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯

Nice 😊
Wow Eddie didn't sound bad towards the end it was just his illness
Yeah and I would still pay money to see Eddie
Definitely ❤️

Don’t forget Ralph Tresvant he was a good singer for New Edition but it was hard for him to have a great solo careeef like Bobby Brown.
Berry Gordy and Otis sabotaged David's career Otherwise he would have been very successful and put Otis's posers out of business and Gordy would have lost money
Them to made the temptations without them the Temptations were not relevant
I still say for David he could have been Luther vandross before Luther vandross
Nah David Ruffin was David Ruffin. I think David Ruffin could’ve definitely been RKelly tho.
He was better than both
I'll never stop saying it.He could have Ben Luther Vandross. Before Luther Vandross. If it weren't for his situation His demons.
When songs written for your style? You deliver what the producer required?
Did you know the songs they just performed on this clip were mainly written, produced, & arranged by William "Smokey" Robinson?
Smokey wrote the songs, but David and Eddie created the melody and backgrounds
When you have a great songwriter that understands your talent, i.e., Smoky wrote "My Girl" for David specifically. You can clearly see how well that worked.
Total love for DR shame his drug demon couldn't be controlled.
first song?
The Temptations It's Growing
Songwriters take Smoke he wrote songs for acts at Motown.
Otis contributed nothing to the performances and Paul had been gone a long time and Melvin didn't have a lot of parts so most of the performances were always David and Eddie
