It was great for Hall and Oates to give Ruffin and Kendricks one more huge moment in the sun, the look on their faces. Of all the "reunions" that day, this one is probably the most underrated.
Hall and Oates brought some serious firepower to Live Aid with Eddie and David. Much love and respect to all of these four men. I pity the people who had to go on after them.
My heart always jumps for joy, when I can see and hear David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks. My mouth fell open when David dropped to his knees and came back up, MY MAN DAVID!! Hall & Oats were amazing as well. Forever missed and loved. 💯❤️ from Kentucky.
Happy and real nice to see Daryl livin' his dream come true. He can dance too! Temptations are bad ass! I've always liked them. All of their music. Please don't leave me girl Don't you go...
It's amazing how it's so second nature to him. He still passes the mic behind his back - despite it now being cordless. He needed to do it like that back in the day, otherwise the cord would wrap around his legs.
So grateful to Hall & Oates for doing this. I wore out 5 CDs listening to the Kendricks & Ruffin part. This is some of the best music ever and always makes me smile.
Why on earth only 42000 clicks-this is one of the greatest combos ever! And the first boy band-just watch the dance routines!And they play their music themselves,on real instruments, with real voices!! Great!!!
Incredible, you can see and feel the true love and admiration that Hall and Oates, and the whole band, have for two of the greatest ever, David Ruffin and Eddy Kendricks.
Hall and Oates nailed this.. This whole thing. I am amazed I haven't heard about them bringing a sinking ship back. OK technical difficulties were the main problem. But I woulda paid money to watch them on here. Those guys must've left the stadium only talking about Hall and Oates. Darryl Hall is a freaking legend. He's running the show ffs.
Hall and Oates got so much respect from R&B Soul listens during their time. This applied to various white artists like Teena Marie and some others. Maybe it was they weren't trying to be something they were not, they were just making good music and I remember we appreciated it . I'm still mad at my brother when he visited me from Texas, on the way home he stole my Rock and Soul Part I CD.....
What I just read is complete contradiction. We created music.. #RespectIt.. Don't mind me though.. I'm just watching & this rum got me a lil egotistical while reading these comments..
What great performing and dancing and singing and the instrument players - so glad I can see it on April 5, 2021 and previously on you tube. We'll never see such great performances!!!!!
how can I be in love with a man who's been gone for 30 years. During this concert I was 16. Thanks to my parents, I grew up listening to the Temps but was to young to appreciate their greatness. And I loved Hall and Oates. But David's voice. His swagger. I need therapy.
Always amazed me how Eddie kept his tone and range despite being a heavy smoker. Even in 85 they still had it. RIP to two of the best singers who ever lived. They just don't make em like this anymore.
There's a show called "Darryl's House" where Darryl Hall brings in old school soul singers and they each do each other's song. If I'm not mistaken, one of the Temptations (I forget which group) said "Daryl should have an afro man. He's got soul for days."
WOW 😲😲😲 how awesome this is. I just Love the combination. It looks so good. FOREVER LOVE!😇 JUST KEEP LOOKING☝️ALWAYS!!!! HE HAVE US COVERED WITH HIS SOFT ARMS AROUND EACH AND EVERYONE OF US!!! 🙏✌️❤️💪🇺🇸
thanks for posting this! xoxo I remember this concert fondly. Wow did they speed up the tempo on those songs? I remember it made me nervous watch it,LOL. You know the guys are cool when Daryl Hall is your backup singer. He was happy to do it. They were his idols.
I was around 24 when this event took place and had to go to my parents house to watch it. I got there at like 8 o’clock and ate breakfast with them, while I waited for it to kick off. I didn’t have cable in the rural part of my home. It’s a testament to how much my Dad loved me because he was from the old guard, he hated my music. Lol He was a rough and tough Korean War veteran and it wasn’t music unless it was OLD country and a little 50’s like Fats Domino and Chuck Berry. However when this came on, I caught him hanging around the living room watching. My Mother lived almost everything that day, she was a musician and loved most music, with the exception of heavy metal. This performance brings back that entire day I spent with them since I had got married and left. My wife hung out with my sisters and I brought my buddy with me, as he didn’t have MTV or cable as well. What a great day for music and a better day with my family. Miss you Mom and Dad and thanks for putting up with my years and years of playing guitar and listening to my music. Also R.I.P. David and Eddie.🙏 🎵 🎤 You guys we’re the soundtrack to my early teens.
David ruffin was my favorite David was the greatest one out of the group David ruffin and the temptation that sounds good ain't nobody coming to see you Otis I just want to say to my man's rest in peace David referend love you man God bless your family again rest in peace
I'm watching through the entire concert (LiveAidWizard has the full MTV and BBC broadcasts) and I might have to agree. I've seen the Queen set before and recognize how amazing it was, but I wasn't expecting to be so blown away by this. I legit got CHILLS from this.
Eddie was diagnosed with Throat cancer in (1992) he went back to his hometown of Birmingham Alabama and died same year. Plus at that time too he was already planning on retiring from Singing because of his vocal cords.
And he kept touring until he couldn’t stand. I read he toured on one lung after he had a lung removed as part of cancer treatment. Such a shame. He had such a unique and beautiful voice.

Ruffin's voice really really really held up through the years. Greatest of a generation.
Eddies voice pretty much was gone the smoking and he had cancer at this time as well I believe
@@jarmaincharleston7405 the smoking caused the lung cancer sadly it was self inflicted 😥
Lol wym.. That's what's being great is about.. We never lose a step..

Well... The band played on for Mick Jagger and Tina Turner... It was a fantabulous set.
Yessss

At 6:13 he STILL hit that move smooth as silk. I hope David and Eddie truly understood how much they are loved. ❤❤❤

So grateful to Hall & Oates for doing this. I wore out 5 CDs listening to the Kendricks & Ruffin part. This is some of the best music ever and always makes me smile.
Where's the Hall & Oates love? They were (and are) amazing!
Daryl is the 6th Temptation. His inspiration.
Its in the comments. People are giving them credit. The Temptations are legends and are still amazing.
Probably cause they're still alive and people are paying tribute to Eddie & David
Hall and Oates couldn’t carry David and Eddie’s water. Why should they be me ruined when this is about David and Eddie?
@@JamesAHollandMusicEasy, this is not a contest, it's MUSIC, you know, music is made to SHARE, this is part of what makes this so enjoyable.
Today Commemorates Eddie Kendricks' 80th Birthday
I just had the biggest smile watching this. They were all great and looked like they were all having such fun. Miss them💕
These years were the best of everything. Best music, best artists, best everything. They just don’t have the artists like these no more
Why on earth only 42000 clicks-this is one of the greatest combos ever! And the first boy band-just watch the dance routines!And they play their music themselves,on real instruments, with real voices!! Great!!!
Damn He still could toss the MIKE, spin & SPLIT ON Q....THIS MAN was the GIFT..RIP
❤❤❤
David Ruffin is my favorite Temp, and he produced a beautiful sound so effortlessly.
Wow, how blessed to have been there??? Thankful I found this!!!! Take me to church...and back those roots..❤️❤️❤️❤️
It was wonderful to be there!!
It always touches my heart man to hear Eddie voice go away man but still had it in him and Ruffin too. Rip David N Eddie
Notice Eddie smiling, he was having fun
It’s so funny after all those years David can’t help still taking over the stage R.I.P guys motown’s best💙💙❤️
Stage precense and charisma. Did you see that move at 6:15?
David knows how to perform he is abundant with charisma.
Incredible, you can see and feel the true love and admiration that Hall and Oates, and the whole band, have for two of the greatest ever, David Ruffin and Eddy Kendricks.
Eddie Kendricks the absolute man
Some of the greatest vocalists of all time there. Especially David Ruffin.
They sound so good together ❤️. Eddie had alot of energy
now that's what I call a performance

I was thinking hockey or swimming..
David ruffen had a voice that made me melt rip in peace you are always in my heart love you 😄

2 sets of legends.
Simply the best Live Aid show in America. U2 and Queen in England.

Thanks for this awesome video... I'm friends with... The Ruffin Family....Rest in Soul Heaven... Mr. Ruffin and Mr. Kendrick's ✌💗
Really?
really david's son is on twitter @Davidruffinjr
This is my favorite performance from Live Aid
Mine was Queen.
I didn't know this was live sid, but my favorite was queen.
Wow to do the Temptation shuffle has got to be very special with Eddie and the man with the glasses. What an honor.
Still AWESOME
Yes very very awesome that would be the highlight of my career if it was me
Nothing can ever surpass this!!!!
Always amazed me how Eddie kept his tone and range despite being a heavy smoker. Even in 85 they still had it. RIP to two of the best singers who ever lived. They just don't make em like this anymore.
Eddie lost much of his range by 77-78
@@061romellit was the cancer that did it, he would have an O2 tank backstage and use it between sets
You can tell by looking at his neck he had to strain for them, though.
They breezed through this performance.
A very easy breezy nine minute set. Cheers!
I remember staying up until the very early hours to see this live, it was awesome then and still is now. 👍❤️
Well, David and Eddie were Temptations For Life!! I Loved that for them.
The Voices that will NEVER be duplicated
They all sound good together. Love to hall n oats. Eddie n David as well.
Just how awesome was this..................................
Miss you, Eddie and David. Thank you, Mr. Geldof.
Hey... that back up band was pretty awesome too. 🙌🙌🙌💃🥰
33 1/2 years ago ..👀.... wow . Remember watching this like it was only 10 years ago .. They were fantastic that night . Great band !
I'd never seen this before. Of course, I was born a year after Live Aid, but I love the Temptations. Jeez, David still had it in '85!
There's a show called "Darryl's House" where Darryl Hall brings in old school soul singers and they each do each other's song. If I'm not mistaken, one of the Temptations (I forget which group) said "Daryl should have an afro man. He's got soul for days."
6:12 look at Eddie expression and smile when David does that turn and spit 🙂
He was still flexible at that time.
Yes.. long, lean, chocolate, and fiiiiiine. Heaven help us.❤❤❤
Much luv to David and Eddie❤❤❤❤❤
Another star-studded collaboration at Live Aid.
Ruffin was still going hard even into his 40s
I forgot how just amazing this moment was!
WOW 😲😲😲 how awesome this is. I just Love the combination. It looks so good.
FOREVER LOVE!😇
JUST KEEP LOOKING☝️ALWAYS!!!! HE HAVE US COVERED WITH HIS SOFT ARMS AROUND EACH AND EVERYONE OF US!!!

AWESOME NEVER UNSUNG WAY AHEAD OF THEIR TIME !!! MR. KENDRICKS AND MR.RUFFIN I SALUTE YOU IN MEMORY OF PAUL WILLIAMS, AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME 1985
The crowd cheers tells it all.
What An Honor For All 👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏
David and Eddie still had vocal strength to burn here. The lifestyle choices eventually took their toll soon after though. So sad.
thanks for posting this! xoxo

They did certainly speed up the tempo on the songs.
When playing live alot of bands speed up the tempo so they can play more songs.
Daryl and John Oats are temptations! You go, guys, with your bad selves!
Daryl is soul, Motown!
Not!
Different hair but great soul . I'm going to listen to She's Gone now , live and thank them both .
Muy buenos cantantes lindos recuerdos🥰🥰
The crowd were enjoying it too by the looks of things.
Thank you for uploading. David Ruffin was the greatist singer.
David and Eddie were ahead their time

David ruffin legs are at least a mile long
I know..that was one fine man❤❤❤
Legs for days
Need to run this one again. Put it up front. Classic!!!!
This was amazing, thank you🙏♥️
For mine the best show at Live aid. Queen took it all so seriously, these guys just had fun and performed. Great.

I don't remember this at live aid! I only remember Queen. I'll have to rewatch it, looks like I missed out on alot.
This isn’t Live Aid, it’s at the Apollo in 1985
But they did also appear together at Live Aid in Philly
Pure class.🥳
Holy crapola... I had no idea David Ruffin did it! But I’m so glad I found it
Eddie and david just love listening to them love them ❤️ from. Sue mckune. X
Live Aid was the concert of the century!!! Just glad i was able to witness it even though I had to work that day.
David Ruffin was a true rock star who just so happen to sing soul numbers. He was bad as all hell. What a performer.
I saw this a long time ago, loved the performance!😎🔥Daryl Hall and John Oates can DANCE 🕺
The great Mickey Curry on drums and Tom work ON BASS. tHAT IS A DMAN FINE RHYTHM SECTION!
So. My 1st live-event was this reunion. In Birmingham, AL 1988....THE Temptations are AWESOME!!!
So entertaining, really love their effort and it's very obvious they loved performing these hits.
poor Eddie, by this time them damn cigarettes caught up with him .
Eddie was diagnosed with Throat cancer in (1992) he went back to his hometown of Birmingham Alabama and died same year. Plus at that time too he was already planning on retiring from Singing because of his vocal cords.
Yes, it was so sad😭😭❤🙏
And he kept touring until he couldn’t stand. I read he toured on one lung after he had a lung removed as part of cancer treatment.
Such a shame. He had such a unique and beautiful voice.
the tone it's still there tho
Sad 😢
What a ********* groove. Love it! 💖✌
Fantastic !
Hall & Oates. Queen.
Live Aid.
Band was kick A$%.
4:30 they did the signature Temptation shuffle 😭😭my heart 😭
That split was the truth!!
L truthteller 😂🤣🍿✨🌟🙏🏼his the man very strong minded even though was on drugs
Born to perform!
Crazy how old David and Eddie looked despite them not being as old as they appeared.
Sadly, they didn't take care of themselves when they were still around. But still let's remember them for their music.
That was so awesome!
It really was!!
The legendary David Ruffin! Great frontman.
I was there. I am just now watching this video...38 years later
