    Eddie definitely doesn't sing like he talks. Deep as heck, when talking, but like a songbird when he's singing. Cool beans. A beautiful falsetto coming from a voice like that. David, that raspy baritone church sound; These 2 were an unstoppable force in Motown. Long live your music! Temps forever!

    Wow. David is so smart, funny, interesting, and well-spoken. It's kind of amazing to me considering the circumstances...left home as a teenager, a poor Mississippi boy, not well educated, lived a fast life, abused drugs...despite all of this he seems so sharp! And he's clearly not even 100% in this video. Yet his memory and speaking skills are outstanding. It's too bad that drugs eventually claimed him. If he were alive today, I bet he would have been a wonderful narrator. His speaking voice is a nice as his singing voice.

      @dannylopez9905 8 років тому +23

      Well let's not forget the reason why the rest of the temps fired him because of his selfishness thinking he deserves more royalties since he was the lead singer. Things like taking his own fancy limo to performances and wanting more attention on him,even as going as far as wanting to change the groups name to David Ruffin and The Temptations. Even with his drug abuse he would often miss rehearsals and meetings. The last straw was when he didn't show up to a performance for Dean Martins daughter. But in the end he learned his ways and will be missed.

    Eddie Kendrick and David Ruffin had voices annointed by God. I am Eddie's biggest, as he seemed like a very special man. This footage is priceless because we get to see two great friends interact. Unfortunately, the interviewers didn't seem to understand that they were in the presence of music royalty. No only were the questions redundant, they didn't have the good sense to offer these two men comfortable seats. To me, that further attests to the class of entertainers that they were. God bless Eddie and David's souls.

I want y'all to particularly notice their facial expressions..no one will smile or turn away from the group's standing while to they are singing... but what I really want everyone to Zoom in on...are their eyes, particularly Mr. Kindrick's eyes...it seems looking at my cellphone video of them, that they were in a state of some sort of trans... meaning that as I'm viewing and looking at this 1st performance of them, I feel that I'm actually witnessing the unknown, meaning to me I don't think that these young, spiritually annoited Gifted Black artists men knew exactly what they were relaying through song... but after y'all google the video the question that I want to ask answered is ...did that particular performance of our Temptations seem like a regular studio recording of..say today's musical Black artists..????....it really is a strange and bizarre witnessing to me of a group of black men whose destination was not of this earth... meaning that they were sent to tell us what we need to do to get to the other side..... like at our baby boy Michael Jackson videos when he was only 6-9 years old...he and his brothers were telling us what we need to know and do...to get to the other side.... strange and bizarre as it really is...in this Pandemic Apocalypse of 2020....

    These two are so great!! I'm watching every Ruffin & Kendrick interview and performance I can find because their dynamic was so wonderful. You can tell when they're on stage together and when the do interviews together that they genuinely cared for one another and were great friends. I'm only 21 years old, so the both of them had passed away before I was even born, but I would love to have met them. There will never again be two voices like theirs.

      Kameela Dudley My boy! What do you expect from him after all he is David Ruffin selling all the records lol. Sometime I think poor Eddie because he had to look after Paul but especially David.

      +Jamie R I wasn't impressed with the interviewer. Maybe he wasn't either.

      I'm just glad we received more knowledge that we didn't know and they mentioned Paul many times. Rest well Temps. It would have been really nice if they were buried in the same cemetery

    They died before I even hit 3 but I fell in love with this group. These two are my favorite. I love this interview too even though the interviewers sucked.
