    The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

    David’s voice was so soulful, smooth and one of a kind. Whenever he hit them high notes, he send chills down your spine and had you another dimension. The reason why this group was so successful, because everyone of them brought something to the table.

      I like the Dennis Edward's Temps better. Psychedelic Shack, Papa Was A Rolling Stone, Ball Of Confusion, Smiling Faces, and Cloud 9 were the best. The 60s Bubble Gum My Girll Kiddie Temps were ok BUT the Dennis Edward's Psychedelic Soul Temps sounded much better with a more mature soulful sound . Just my opinion.

      Paul was always the best dancer, followed by Melvin. And that middle split that David did...I don't remember seeing anyone do that other than him. He had another move where he tossed the mic in the air, spun around while it was still airborne, and ended with the mike in his hand as he's completing the turn and coming up from a squat position. I used to practice that as a kid. I believe it was after he left the group and appeared on Sullivan's show. The song he sung was "My Whole World Ended". Remember that like it was yesterday.

    These, Ladies and Gentlemen, are the Original Temptations and trust me when I say that there has never been, nor shall there ever be, a better vocal group. PERIOD. Though Dennis Edwards, Ollie Woodson and others came along and made their marks AFTER David Ruffin left, and though Al and others came BEFORE David Ruffin, it is quite clear that the Temptations were NOT a hit making act, nor a household name UNTIL David Ruffin made it happen. Therefore, the point I'm making here is that none of the people who came before David Ruffin matter and will never be counted.

      @@googlemyself4091 You are most certainly entitled to your opinion. However, if you think that Dennis Edwards compares to David Ruffin in any way, shape or form, you're either a comedian or insane. As for David Ruffin not being an original, that depends on what you consider original. Every group or band can trace their roots back to when they had other members, but never made it until they found the "right" combination. David Ruffin was the man who sang the Temts first HIT record and he is the reason they went from being called "The No-Hit Tempts" to being a household name. ANYONE who came before David (including Al) really doesn't matter and will never be considered, just as no one will ever consider any of the Chicago Bulls before the Michael Jordan era. Duh.

      I grew up in Detroit and it was a natural gas, on Friday night's the TEMPTATIONS would come to the White Castle ( .12 cent hamburgers ) in a candy red convertible
      Cadillac and us kids hang all over the car talking with the Temps.
      Man it was Big fun! Each year in Detroit starting on Christmas eve and, ending on New year's eve night, there was the Motown Review
      It cost .75 cent each day to attend within that week, yould see the whole of Motown's Acts,
      There was nothing like it
      Any where. I can hardly believe that those days are gone. Years later my Wife, RIP, and, I spent A Memorial day with Melvin Franklin and, his Wife and, Mother in law Bar B Qing. I loved all of the TEMPTATIONS. Just a couple of Months or so ago, I posted on FB:
      HOW LUCKY CAN YOU BE TO GET TO GROW UP IN DETROIT WITH MOTOWN AND THE
      TEMPTATIONS! I'm now
      73 years old, and you talk about MEMORIES!
      I loved it then, and I love it now! The Music Will Always BE.ENJOY!
