man.. the actors did such a good job embodying the essence of every temptation.. and I know David Ruffin was supposed to be a villain, but the Temptations were the best when he was the lead.. He was the truth!!
It was that belief that killed David Ruffin. I do not live in the land of professional entertainment, but his downfall was the same as so many others we have seen over the years. Example: As a teen, I swore I was going to marry Andy Gibb someday. We all know what happened to him. If you go back and listen to Barry Gibb, he had been given a very stern and necessary lecture. It is so easy to fall into "the girls love me", "I am a star", "I am on top of the world", "I own this." Barry Gibb attributed his avoidance of these traps to people who warned him. David Ruffin was not just some guy who liked coke instead of focusing on continuing his fame. It was tragic, should not have happened, he had the world in front of him and unlimited tickets to success. But the trap got him. Anyone who deals with budding stars is irresponsible if he/she does not sit this person down and say, "You are great. You are fantastic. The world is your oyster. BUT DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN THE TRAP."
I would been like Eddie, we need David lol. I blame Berry Gordy. Ain’t no way an Owner/CEO today letting their star get out of control and mess up the group and the money. From what I’ve seen, he never intervened but let the group handle it. He wouldn’t been kicked out the group if I was Berry. I would’ve gotten him in rehab.
@@terrancerobinson20it's amazing David Ruffin was strung out on cocaine 🧃 ☁️ but he could still sing dance and MAINTAIN his body movement with the exception of Eddie Fired him on spot Paul Williams becomes a drunk 🍷 🍺🍻 a deadbeat neglecting his family keep missing up onstage but they got him help and kept him in the group to me thats very one-sided and David got a raw deal based on double standard if thats the case David should have been re hired his drugs never made him fall apart onstage like Paul if they got him help they should have done it for David Ruffin it was very hypocrital against david
YOU COULD "FEEEEEL THE ENERGY" OF THE OTHER MEMBERS WHEN HE APPROACHED THE STAGE AND INTRODUCED HIMSELF THEN! THE TEMPERATIONS! THEY ALL CUT THEIR EYES AT ONE ANOTHER.. I COULD'VE HIT THE FLOOR!! 👏🏽👏🏽😂
Leon is the closest we will ever get to having another David Ruffin. he is him. i also believe that the group of actors in this movie embodies the original lineup. the casting was top notch and it was so good (the movie) that a lot of people mixed the intro to "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" into the original so its even longer lol and doesnt suffer for it at all.
This was my favorite movie when it came out. I used to know it word for word, and that's both parts lol. I still know about 80% of it by heart outside of the songs, which I know every single word of each one of course and that's the entire song, not just what's featured in the movie if it's not played in its entirety. But this part...LEON DID THAT!!! Hands down that walk out of the crowd to the stage was the best part of the movie for me!!! 10 outta 10, top 3 movies of all time in my opinion.
Paul wanted to mess David up when he introduced them lmfao 😂😂😂😂❤ that look was priceless ,like this joint really shaking right now ?😂😂😂❤❤ they killed it 🥰
1. "Losing You" is the best dance performance of this movie. 2. I applaud the boys composure when David walked in. 3. The Temptations never got into a fight on stage. 4. This is an amazing movie!!
No one ever points out how Eddie was smiling when David did his thing lol. They were cool after the group in real life. Eddie just wanted the bread and to create great music
@missam3404 but I was just watching Leon interview he said he said that himself David never said that and the actor of Otis got mad and said I don’t like him saying that to me and Leon said that’s what he’s suppose to be mad right
Wow, the Temptations Actors did a great job playing one of the biggest Motown Groups in America and the world Temptations with David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin.
I don’t get how these guys didn’t all blow up. This is one of those things I watch everytime it’s on since I’ve been a kid not old enough to watch it on vh1 lol
I agree it was a great movie..true story I heard..I don't know what they were doing in there private life😮💨😤but when it was time to put on a show they put on a great show..the music the cool moves hey wen it was music time they all knew it was music first..no matter what 💋
Can't NOBODY AND I DO MEAN NOBODY CAN BODY THIS SONG LIKE HIM 🙌👏👏I was happy when he grabbed the mic if he didn't it wouldn't have been as good as it is with his voice
Leon should’ve won an Emmy for this performance
Same thing I was thinking. But you know, skin color.
All day
You ain't never lied 😢
Absolutely!!!
Ole Smoove. MoFo , (my disabled ass thought I could keep up)😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm watching the dvd right now having a ball 😅
Leon had the real David Ruffin's mannerisms down packed. I don't think he gets enough credit for the role he played
David Ruffin was something else to deal with....... BUT THE WAY LEON PORTRAYED HIM IN THIS MOVIE WAS SUPERB!!!!
Ruffin was something else because (in my Rick James voice) cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Yes, his portrayal was top tier ❤
that ego was bigggggg.
Cool👍🤺👊😀🖐️👍👊@@terrancerobinson20
@hipowa909 like Bobbie browns was
David Ruffin did bring the Smoke on this song.
Thr guy who played Paul really enjoyed dancing and singing❤😊
He played Paul to a T...
@@donslay4006I loved me some Paul❤️
❤Paul has great moves! Was Paul in the movie, U S MARSHALS, WITH WESLEY SNIPES, AFTER THE PLANE CRASH?
His ass could Move!
Leon definitely portrayed david well. I honestly couldn't see anyone else doing better. he killed it.
Leon's walk-in is EVERYTHING! 😄
How can I watch this movie
Mercy😏
@@leeannsandoval6479it’s on Tubi I think
@@leeannsandoval6479its always free on Tubi to watch
@@leeannsandoval6479Its on TH-cam
When David breaks out in his cool dance !!!! Priceless!!!!
You got that right
The way David (Leon) fell in formation at the end of the first song was just pure perfection
Yeaaaah i Peeped that Out. That's Some Bad Boy Bobby Brown Shid right there!!🤣
Leon made this movie come alive he should have got a grammy
You mean Emmy , Emmy pertains to movies where as Grammy pertains to more music
@@tf2432277Grammy and Emmy is wrong. Emmy pertains to day time tv and talk show. He should have won an Oscar for this movie performance. You win Oscas for movies.
He went so hard, I felt like he was really David Ruffin
You mean Emmy or NAACP award
Unfortunately they only pick one of us at a time . Unfortunate.
Paul was kicking those steps, lol. This was and still is great
Their choreography was on point
Paul was the choreographer for most of the performances
Surely was!!! I just found a live performance of this song and they nailed The Real Temptations moves!!!
O Ain’t nobody gone speak on how Paul killed the dance moves🔥🔥🔥
Paul was definitely the best dancer in this movie and ironically real life
I feel in love ❤️ with this actor when he started dancing on this movie
I am lol
👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌 yesssss
HE WAS MOVING!!!
The actor who played Paul... his dance moves were amazing
Yes christian is amazing
Paul himself was a smooth dancer, fits so well.
Paul was their original choreographer
Yes
@@theplowboipodcast6469Paul got the dance moves on him
Leon played the hell out of this!! Such underrated actor ❤

This movie truly shows how “the show must go on regardless of whosever ego is in the way! “ Kudos to their showmanship all the way❣❤🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎤
man.. the actors did such a good job embodying the essence of every temptation.. and I know David Ruffin was supposed to be a villain, but the Temptations were the best when he was the lead.. He was the truth!!

Facts
Drugs destroyed the magic the had.
Leon bodied this performance
that he did..that part had his name all over it..and Leon played the part well... 🎉
💋
YES!!!
💯 ❤ definitely
💯
These types of films were made for Leon. He killed 5HBs too
This is one of the best movies of all time! Along with the Jackson 5 and The five heartbeats.
True 💯
And what's love got to do with it
You got taste Queen..
And Elvis
💯
David walked in late with his spotlight and got right in line!😂😂😂😂
That's my favorite part! 😆😆😆
Pretty clever!!!
Lol 😅😅😅
David was a piece of work! 😂😂😂
@@lamarmccall8579 no question he stood out that aside from his drug addiction and sudden arrogance He BUILT that group definitely a STAND OUT
How symbolic for them to do I’m Losing You right at that moment in the film cause David was slowly losing his position with the Temptations.
Leon bodiedddd this entire movie as David… this performance was so damn smooth & saucy af, just love him down in this 💯❤️
Paul was dancing his ass off
Lmao! Yeah he was! 😂
I don't care how many times I watch this movie
Same
Im addicted
Words can't explain his performance.😊❤
Leon really did his best acting ever in this role.
They bodied this song and performance. Shoutout to all the actors that made this scene unforgettable
My favorite scene of the movie
David can give a great show. This man is a beautiful singer and dancer.
LEON SHOULD HAVE WON SEVERAL AWARDS REAL TALK THE MOVIE AND CAST WAS GOOD❤
Leon is such an underrated and under appreciated actor.
Paul was so happy to see David lmao blue and Otis was pissed 😂
And Paul 😂😂everyone was pissed but Eddie😂🤦🏾♀️
Yup
😂
The arrogance that Leon portrays as David Ruffin just comes through the TV screen
I think that's what makes him stand out
Me and David would've been fighting afterwards 🤣🤣🤣
I would been like Eddie, we need David lol. I blame Berry Gordy. Ain’t no way an Owner/CEO today letting their star get out of control and mess up the group and the money.

The whole group was Amazing😊
Leon Embodied David Ruffin Perfectly!. Amazing Actor .. I Love Anything Hes In Because Hes Definitely Going To Give It His All
I’m David Ruffin and these are the Temptations
I guess being the 🤩
on stage off to the side
singing lead like none other..just wasn't enough..some want it all or nothing.
that was sad 😞
😂😂😂😂 that was too funny
😂😂😂
Uh oh 🙈....
Paul wanted to mess David up when he introduced them lmfao
😂😂😂😂❤ that look was priceless ,like this joint really shaking right now ?😂😂😂❤❤ they killed it 🥰
How ignorant can you be! These are not the the Real Temptations, these are the REEL temptations!
1. "Losing You" is the best dance performance of this movie.
2. I applaud the boys composure when David walked in.
3. The Temptations never got into a fight on stage.
4. This is an amazing movie!!
Leon takes over every scene he’s in
Memories that when music was good and understandable.😅
Right😂
💋
Can't believe David did that introduce himself and then said, These are the Templetons
David had a lot of nerve.
3:41😂 When Eddie looked at David😂
LEON SHOULD HAVE WON AN AWARD HANDS DOWN HE DID HIS THANG ❤🎉
David Ruffin showed he was the man he showed them bless bless
Perfect Casting 👍🏽 ♥️
Leon's Performance here and his performance on stage with the 5 heartbeats speaks volumes!!
Ruff was Tough!!. Big Up Leon
David upstaged his bandmates.
That was Berry Gordy that Ruffin walk by!!
No one ever points out how Eddie was smiling when David did his thing lol. They were cool after the group in real life. Eddie just wanted the bread and to create great music

@missam3404ain’t nobody coming to see you Otis cause you can’t work it like I work it
Because Eddie sang lead on a lot of their hits just like David. He probably had a lil ego too.
@missam3404😂😂😂😂
Y'all ain't nuffin without David ruffin.😭🤣😂
nothing😉
@@amandatuppince-pk8bl I know I wanted the exaggerate the pronunciation.
Agreed
Always thought this was pretty good stuff for a made-for-TV-movie. Kendricks and Ruffin characters were spot on.
I believe Leon was actually David ruffin more than David ruffin himself 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
And wassssss!❤❤❤❤
On my soul I thought he was the real David Ruffin for at least 15 years of my life 😭😭😭
Facts lol
Nope 👎🏾
Ego destroyed so many of these groups. If your not grounded with God you will be grounded with the Devil
Truth be told..
you're so RIGHT!!
🥀💋
Cornbread couldn't pay it off, he was mad the whole time and if looks could kill at the end 😂😂😂😂
Man who ever saw this coming.ruffin one bad ass. Leon played his ass me off😮❤ brought him to life loud and proud. 😊😊😊
Omg what a time to be alive, and to witness greatness. This gave me goosebumps.
Wow, the Temptations Actors did a great job playing one of the biggest Motown Groups in America and the world Temptations with David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin.
I don’t get how these guys didn’t all blow up. This is one of those things I watch everytime it’s on since I’ve been a kid not old enough to watch it on vh1 lol
Leon can say it none better I realize I’ve ready know! We already know we lost each other it’s not in the cards now or ever will be! Just a fling 😢❤J😢
Time proved that the group will always be bigger than the individuals
Truth
The look on everyone's face, when he says david ruffin and these are the temptations🤣🤣🤣🤣priceless
One of my favorite movies.
Hi appwilbon.seen it six time😊
I agree it was a great movie..true story I heard..I don't know what they were doing in there private life😮💨😤but when it was time to put on a show
they put on a great show..the music the cool moves hey wen it was music time they all knew it was music first..no matter what 💋
It's not a movie...It was a Mini-Series!
@@stcroixsaxmaster Movie or Mini series it still was my favorite.
Shelly was so disappointed 😅😅 David was a trip boy...lol.
He played that role!!
The way David separate himself away from the group on stage is wild as hell 😂
How they all ran off the stage lol the audience went wild not knowing they chasing Ruffin😂😂😂
Leon did David the best justice !!
I thought he was David at some spots.
This movie marked me as a kid, made me fall in love with the music of the Temptations and with David Ruffin’s voice
He did have the voice, just crazy as hell. 😊
I feel like Otis was always ready to fight somebody. 🤣 🤣
… Leon did a phenomenal job!!
David was a fool😂
Can't NOBODY AND I DO MEAN NOBODY CAN BODY THIS SONG LIKE HIM 🙌👏👏I was happy when he grabbed the mic if he didn't it wouldn't have been as good as it is with his voice
I smile with his entrance. Bad Boy
They worked the hell out of that song 🎵🎶😃
Best part of the movie!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
2:01 me walking in 55 minutes late for that “important business meeting”
😮😊❤ I can watch the Temptations movie a million times and still see different scenes. But Leon playing David Ruffin always takes the cake
Leon is hilarious man 😂😂😂😂
Anyone notice Paul drinking right before they went on?
Paul was an alcoholic.
Shellly was jamming jamming 😂
LittleJohn on @UnderThaGroove Podcast Episode #3 brought me here !!
I can tell from the look on Shelly's face, he was like what the F***just happened
Leon / Ruffin walks in at the WAYYYY at the end of the song, with that cheshire cat grin, arrogant as hell
I need to watch this movie again! Such a great movie!
That was my favorite movie Leon did the best David ruffin.award winning!
One of my favorite movies, they did an amazing job casting them
What a performance !😮
The greatest groups never stayed together 💯
Paul’s’ Parents- do that lil temptation dance
Paul-Say less lol
they have the deaf translation there...awesome guys...great to see full force and comedian mike epps🎉❤🔥🎼
Leon ate that shit up! 🔥🔥
The Temptations,One of the Greatest, BUT that's why I don't want a Group,not even when it's comes to Gospel either, somebody gets to Big Headed.
So true some people get big egos
David was funny asf😅😅🤣 It’s something about the bad boy that makes you cheer for him😍
I love this scene
David Ruffin all in Leon! ❤ I watched this performance 26 times🎉
