    For those of you who are to young to recognize what you just experienced, let me explain: This is talent! Notice how there isn't any dancers or light show. This is how you deliver a performance so powerful that the audience forgets (for a moment) the troubles of their own individual lives. Notice how the audience is suspended in time in that moment. And notice: No one got shot! No one is fighting! It's sad that I have to point that out but, yeah. I have to point this out. Our songs were about love, joy and romance. And when we hear our music today it brings back memories of our youth. This is what is missing from contemporary R&B/hip-hop/rap/overly sampled music today.

    I agree. I think the people who grew up with Temptations in the 60s have a very strong emotional attachment. I came along later. So my emotional attachment to any of them is nil. I am just about the voices. They each had their own voice. Dennis' voice is nothing like David's. Dennis is like that old time country preacher back in the woods with a wood floor. Powerful.

    The Temptations were incredibly lucky to have Dennis right after David. Dennis helped the group turn into a soul group that touched some serious issues with their songs and really carved his own path with the group. Then they got lucky again with Ali Ollie Woodson who was a hybrid of Dennis and David. Three great singers all in the history of one group! Amazing!

      @@besmith7093in the movie bio. Dennis asks Norman Whitfield what he ever did to him ? Norman replied “ no passion “. It’s true, Ruffin had that passion Dennis lacked but he learned it in time as seen in this song. When Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter produced he lp “ Surface Thrills “, they were intent on getting that passion to come out and they did ! Few artists truly have unique passion.

    Dennis Edwards was absolutely the best replacement for David Ruffin. He has that strong raspy, soulful voice like David's voice, but Dennis's voice is stronger and he has the old Baptist minster edge to it. Man do I miss this kind of music that I grew up on. Because the junk that they produce today is not even worth listening to. Thank God I still have my ol' school music to listen to!

    I have never heard any other person sing that song like Dennis Edwards can sing that song the Temptation where the baddest group that has ever walked the face of this Earth they have the tightest Harmony closest Harmony than any other male group in the world I don't care what nobody say in my opinion could know Mel group touch him from the early years to the later years could no one touch him they had some of the most phenomenal lead voices ever in one group even when they brought a new replacement the new Replacements would be right on point the harmonies were still tight as hell I like Boys to Men but the Boyz II Men could not touch the Temptations The Temptations could sing anything and everything and kill it a lot of these groups today get paid so much money and to me the Temptation should have been filthy rich and today you don't even get raw talent you get gimmicks but they get paid more money Temptations forever

    Donny's and The Temptation's version of this song are my absolutely favorites. Donny and Dennis sing the same some, but each has their own interpretation. Dennis's takes us back to the Black Church, so does Donny, but in a different way. Donny's version has more strings. Each version is beautiful.

      You have to remember that they was kids when they first Got together, as they got older they became better! but during the time when Dennis came they was just evolving to who they really were.... So yes Dennis was part of that Transformation!!!!! but that whole group was who they were..... Everyone 1of them boys was singers.let's not lose focus "smoke Robinson" wrote 99% of the songs.... He could gave that song to anybody in that group and it would've done the same thing because it was The temptations, it was just that timing.

    My my my Dennis Edward's should have been mentioned more in that movie. The more I see these videos the more O begin understand what he did to save the group.. Everybody likes the originals but Dennis came in like Otis said he was hungry.. Well he took the Temptations and carried them on his back... This song if you got any soul in you at all you would know this is a special moment of a Leon Russell song that Dennis made his own. One day I look at all the hits Dennis sang lead on. He was a dominant force. And then the all the guys who came after were just fantastic. And a lot credit should be given to Otis for continuing to build on the legacy. All the groups who have come and gone. Oh yeah Dennis didn't do so bad with the Revue. That lead singer, that bass singer, tenor, and then bring in Paul Williams Jr. That's just brilliant. Rest in Peace Dennis you took me through college with Glass House album where this song is listed. I think I listen one time. He took them people on the front row to church. RIP Dennis you go down as one the greatest singers who was so humble to Others who sang before him.

    The whole album (title-"A Song For You", cover-all black and all the songs) are stellar. This album was genius because it showed the Temptations as true balladeers!

      If you remember, there was a TV commercial for that LP. Whatever I was doing in the house, I would stop in my tracks and be swept away by it. The last few seconds of the commercial had the ending of "Song For You". That always ran through my spirit. Phew!

    Dennis Edwards was my favorite Temptation. He had one of the loudest and most powerful male voices I ever heard, he and Rick James. They hit notes with volume that a lot of people couldn’t hit.

    I wish there was a way I could express my appreciation and love for people while they are alive. That is what hurts the most, I think. Do singers who have ministered to us peace really get to know how much we were moved by their performances? I hope so. That was the best song on that album. I was 7 or 8 when it came out. Even then, it took my heart to another place.

    I love this song and I'm so blessed to have brother Dr Otis Williams still the leader of the Temptations group. He gave so many artists a chance to be the lead singers for years. He truly has done a terrific job with his kindness and love for each of them. That's why I love him as my brother and his Temptations Family Fan Member, Nora 🌹 Parker,.
    Great February month to celebrate your Great Temptations Group. Hallelujah Amen🎵🎼🎶🎹🎥🙏🏽🙏🙏🏿🌹🍰💕💖
