I watch this GREAT performance almost every day,wish there were classy groups like this today.Dressed well,but,I guess kids these days don't want to see groups like this.
I'm 76yrs old now and feel proud to have been young when these guys were performing, David Ruffin's voice was sound blowing and together The Temptations were my top Tamla Motown group.
What an incredible song by an incredible group…I feel sadness when I think of David Ruffin passing away so soon…Motown legends that will never be outdone.
I'm sad too about how David died and I believe he was wronged when he was kicked out of the group after all he had done to make it! I think Otis was just jealous of David!
They were great but I think the dramatics as a whole had better individual singers snd harmony . Temptations were just those most marketed like the spinners . Ask any real singer and they will tell you the dramatics singers all had lead singer vocals .
Omg, the Temptations are such a classy act, but I got to say the best years were those with David as their front man. His vocals are mesmerizing and unforgettable.
Maaan! What a performance!! One of the things that made the Temptations unique is that they were all over 6ft. Not a big deal but not something you see everyday with a singing group. The original Temps are timeless.
We need this music and gospel today. I'm pale and middle aged, living in a soul vacuum in Ontario Canada. Dull as a screw head here. Thank you for posting this. I listen to all my soul, R&B, gospel with rhythm, here. Today, I will enjoy Smokey, Al Green, Sam Cooke, Eric Bronson (Black Pumas), Bruno Mars, Chandler Moore, David Crowder, Naomi Raine, Tribal. Blessings to everyone.
Love the showmanship and percision of these fellows... I Love this video, and watch it often... Paul is my man, but I would've hung out with Melvin any day, he just looks like he would be fun to be with, and that SMILE !!!! also Paul and his moves, WOW !!!
Great! I’m glad you like this so much. This is one of my very favorite vocal performances I’ve ever heard, and to get a live clip of the whole song is incredible. They didn’t always sing live on tv so as soon as I could tell it wasn’t lip-synced I had to share it ❤️✌️
I experienced this music through my parents, and my children through me. There will never be another musical era such as this, one that all enjoyed. I envy those moments.
This is absolutely astonishing for a live performance done in the 1960s! Perfect vocals and perfect recording - Ruffin's voice is even more powerful here than on the original recording. It sounds so good I'd question if it was really live if I didn't see him clearly singing every syllable. Man, what a singer! And the group as a whole is a joy to watch, with harmonies and moves in perfect sync.
Song written by a man who lost his wife to another man, that following Christmas , before he had even had a chance to hear the song, he took his own life as the pain was to great for him to indure. This song touches so many people. I hope he can feel the love from here
You could ALWAYS count on the Temptations to sound just as good (or better) live in concert, as they sounded on record. Just a couple of months ago, my wife and I were discussing how the Temps are the greatest male vocal group of all times. Their vocals, harmony, and choreography have never been surpassed, to date. This group has been the model for quintets and quartets, since the early 1960's.
i can watch and listen to the Goat David Ruffin sing and command the stage and be entertained and captivated each time. What a special voice and talent the GOAT David Ruffin before his time.Wow!!!!!!!!!pure greatness and unique style.
One of rhe greatest voices and groups and they all could sing they didn't do auto tunes these was real singers and hard working men its so sad how they all had their struggles and broke apart ,but they still relevant today and their music
Wow they slayed that!!! The days of live singing in concert and TV like that are all but gone. Too many artists dependent studio processing, are too afraid that they can't bring it live. So they lip sync the heck out of a lot of their live stuff, especially if it's televised.
This was back when music was pure entertainment it was great it was clean it was classic it came from the hard there was no yelling and screaming in it there was no cuss words are calling women bad names or men bad names and just true Straight From the Heart love for music that they made for us to enjoy and they loved nothing more than entertaining us they lived for it I pray God will bless them all whether they are here or whether they're gone they were amazing they will always be amazing❤ no matter the kind of mood you're in just put them on put any one of their songs on and you'll feel better I guarantee it
I listen to this song non stop! I can't get enough of this awesome song and these musical geniuses! Pure perfection. There's and will never be a better lead singer than David!
AH‼️ David Ruffin. I could watch him and the other guys perform all day and night long. The singing and dancing is superb 👩🏻🏫👏🏻🥰‼️ I can’t listen to Eddie Kendrick so easily as I do David though. His really high voice bothers my ears. Same with the really high sound of the violin. David’s high is fine. No problem. I guess it’s because it’s a lower range high or something. Doesn’t bother me when Eddie sings background with the other guys. The best Soul group in my opinion! Well, the Platters are great too! Love them as well!

I'll bet you still remember the words to the songs, I sure do.
Ruffin was born with a special gift from God...
FOR SURE 👏🏻🥰‼️

Their music has been timeless and never gets old. ❤️
Best music ever.
Best music 🎼
Been listening to it since it was new. I don't think we will ever see this again. Temps, Still the best!!
@@mikefeil3568 I don’t think so
😮@@kathyhayden2499
One of the best voices of all time.
Lord have mercy this world is so sad today we need this music back no Auto tunes know half naked people running around on stage just pure talent
YES!!!!
I totally agree
I'm 76yrs old now and feel proud to have been young when these guys were performing, David Ruffin's voice was sound blowing and together The Temptations were my top Tamla Motown group.
Terrible he died way too young
So sad a very tragic story. These guys put out some of the best music ever and this is one of my favorite songs. May he rest in peace.
David gave is life away far too easily 😢
Me Too!! 76 in May. No way to compare....Kanye West .....eat your heart out.
Today's r&b/hip-hop artists can't hold a candle to these guys.
David, such talent... my God, this man was surely blessed.
He was the G.O.A.T.
Blessed? 🤔
I met all temptations
@@GlendaClarke-ir2cd I believe the commentor meant musically blessed. But that crack demon cursed him towards the end. His life was very dramatic smh
Play it again and just watch the background vocalists. Amazing choreography.
Smooth, soulful, unbelievable harmonies--the Temps are simply the best.
Music is always going to be music hot & soul in your mind everybody has music and their bones weather is medicine medicine for the soul to be calm
Heart soul survivor
This music
makes your day!
I can't argue with you on that David voice was magnificent and the background was on point RIP giys
david ruffin simply is and was the definition of musicianship and showmaship all in one. he is still top on my playlist
Dennis Edward's was the best over David Ruffin
@@rosalindwilliams196 R U crazy?
Dennis over David😮
I'm just kidding you gotta like what u like!😊
Great voice. Too bad he was a woman beater.
When music was Music
❤️🩹❤️🩹
Absolutely.
Amen too that!!!
When music was choreographed dancin'
@@saulabbott-atchison6660 absolutely
No artificial background instruments or recordings, just pure natural talent ❤
I love it I had 3 older sister we had an old tube type radio wvok in Birmingham play that music all day I loved the 60
Natural talent all of them! One of the best groups ever!
Yes, there is. Drums, violin, horns, etc. But their voices are the thing that draws you in 👩🏻🏫👏🏻🥰‼️
They don't make music like that anymore.its a shame.temps for ever.
No this music is the best
Yes

What an incredible song by an incredible group…I feel sadness when I think of David Ruffin passing away so soon…Motown legends that will never be outdone.
So far, there hasn't been a better 5 male singing group than The Temptations We in 2023 and counting !
@@daimonmarioperez9501 WORD on that!!!!!!!!!
I'm sad too about how David died and I believe he was wronged when he was kicked out of the group after all he had done to make it! I think Otis was just jealous of David!

ME TO, GLAD I WAS A PART OF THAT GENERATION. 👏👏👏
Amen To That
High School,
Smoky & The Miracles ❤❤ What an incredible experience!! 1962 was the Best!!

Now this is what you call singing and dancing. That's true talent at it's finest. Oh how I wish it would return.
Yes !!! 😊

These songs will never grow old
This is what we call music!!!
The guys had the voices
Yes, today they don't know about this type of music
Temptations could dance always on same beat
Back when men acted like, dressed like and danced like MEN
@@valeriereaves4096thank you😊
There will never be a group like this. They're my all time favorite. 🎉!!!
Eva!
They were great but I think the dramatics as a whole had better individual singers snd harmony . Temptations were just those most marketed like the spinners . Ask any real singer and they will tell you the dramatics singers all had lead singer vocals .
@@speedlife301that’s an opinion
Couldn’t nobody sing like David RIP ❤
Quality never fades.
Synchrony, Harmony, elegance. Amazing. Today’s groups don’t even come close
Never gets old. Beautiful smooth vocals.
Thats what you call music I love old school music
Omg, the Temptations are such a classy act, but I got to say the best years were those with David as their front man. His vocals are mesmerizing and unforgettable.
@michael-ferriter- No. Unfortunately, before my time.
David Ruffin voice can't be duplicated. You feel what he sings!
I listen to this song almost several times a week. It never gets old or boring. God Bless Em. Thanks.
Me too.
I have been listing to the temp since1972 they need to bring this great music back .this world would be better place.
I luv❤ how david did the little dance walkin to the microphone
I love them to death
@VitoHoffaentertainment me too I watched that part several times 😊
😢
There will NEVER be another David Ruffin. The most iconic voice that ever came out of Motown.
Maaan! What a performance!! One of the things that made the Temptations unique is that they were all over 6ft. Not a big deal but not something you see everyday with a singing group. The original Temps are timeless.
Wow! I didn't know that. Nice bit of trivia!
Yesss
fantastic song
David knocked it out of the park with this performance. Awesome.
Temptations always my favorite group. David Ruffin had unique and fantastic voice .
Damn they jamming in the background!!🔥🔥🔥 I love the Motown sound.❤❤
Back again for good music and wonderful childhood memories…This record played in our house hold often… Thanks
My favorite group of singers .

My favorite Temps song, in HD no less. Thanks for this great post!
My pleasure; I love this one so much too mainly because its live and not lip-synced...
Greatest group of all time and Smoky Robinson wrote the songs. Wow!
Not this one.
Norman Whitfield
GREAT MUSIC 🎶 NOTHING LIKE IT TODAY ALL RESPECT FOR WOMEN WOW
What a great voice
Couldn't imagine growing up without Motown. I like all kinds of music, but I could never get tired of Motown.
This beautiful song brings back so many beautiful blessed times I've had with my mother... RIP mom I'll always love you
Temptations music will last forever.
One of the greatest groups that ever lived 😊
So thankful these guys have been in my life with their stunning sound and performance, just incredible, thanks guys!
Agreee
Pure R&B!!!!! Soul. So missed❤
WOW! I saw these at their peak in the early 1970's
I grew up loving these guys. Never had a clue of all the fighting and fussing going on behind the curtain. They were one great group. 💔
Thank you for uploading this!!! ❤❤❤
Well I think that's an awesome song and I've never seen four microphones like that before that is so cool. You men are awesome 💝🎉
And that was when msic was really music and not screaming all over the place. Singers then really poured out their heart.
I experienced this music through my parents, and my children through me. There will never be another musical era such as this, one that all enjoyed. I envy those moments.
His voice touches my soul!❤
Put all our biases aside and listen to this, it's awesome
He has a very spiritual voice
So blessed to have this music growing up! ❤🎉🙏
1 of the rarest voices that would’ve made the cut on the “4 chair” turn around.
this song alone earns all of them a spot in the HOF.
Wow temps forever what a sound love them I am 73 yrs but brought up on motown and temps greatest group In the world xx
I'm 62 and I was raised to this kind of music. love it and this kind of music can not be replaced ❤
This is absolutely astonishing for a live performance done in the 1960s! Perfect vocals and perfect recording - Ruffin's voice is even more powerful here than on the original recording. It sounds so good I'd question if it was really live if I didn't see him clearly singing every syllable. Man, what a singer! And the group as a whole is a joy to watch, with harmonies and moves in perfect sync.
I love their poses as David begins singing the first verse. You can tell these dudes ain’t come too play. They about to wreck shit!!!!
Oh my God, could these guys sing. David's voice, so soulful,, sexy and filled with pain in this song. RIP, David.
Best voice ever soul man
Song written by a man who lost his wife to another man, that following Christmas , before he had even had a chance to hear the song, he took his own life as the pain was to great for him to indure. This song touches so many people. I hope he can feel the love from here
I thought Smokey Robinson wrote this
Damn.. you feel these brothers right down to your toes… 👏 👏 👏
That harmony makes me shed a tear. So, so good!!! Miss this level of music.
David’s voice adds life to the song like no other.

David Ruffin and Levi Stubbs the 2 best lead singers ever!
That electrifying voice of David can't be beat. Rip ❤
Notice that they don’t have any crude lyrics just utter perfection.
i can watch and listen to the Goat David Ruffin sing and command the stage and be entertained and captivated each time. What a special voice and talent the GOAT David Ruffin before his time.Wow!!!!!!!!!pure greatness and unique style.
one of the greatest eras of music. anyone with a heart felt the music made in that time period.
One of rhe greatest voices and groups and they all could sing they didn't do auto tunes these was real singers and hard working men its so sad how they all had their struggles and broke apart ,but they still relevant today and their music
I never got tired of listening to anything out of Motown! Nothing, but excellence!❤ ❤❤
Wow they slayed that!!! The days of live singing in concert and TV like that are all but gone. Too many artists dependent studio processing, are too afraid that they can't bring it live. So they lip sync the heck out of a lot of their live stuff, especially if it's televised.
David Ruffin had the perfect soulful voice. Fantastic background
These men were so clean and distinguished.
Love this group David and Eddie are amazing singers ❤❤

I listen to this song non stop! I can't get enough of this awesome song and these musical geniuses! Pure perfection. There's and will never be a better lead singer than David!
Their moves were smooth as silk! ❤
Exactly, those moves are as much a part of the Temps as their music.
I remember these guys, they made me dance wherever I was..smiles❤
Very beautiful song. The Temptations r my favorite group they made some beautiful songs. Memories is a sad song
It is RAINING VERY HARD WITH ALL THE LIGHT SHOW. LOVE THIS SONG
