umm.they were great but Smokey Robinson was running neck to neck with David in the vocal dept. Beside Smokey wrote most songs for them that hit top 100 on the billboard. Smokey was a writer, producer and front man of the Miracles. Now that's the definition of *_great_*
@@Our_UnStoppableKing why do y'all have to do that? Make everything a competition Eddie and David are the greatest in their own way just like smokey is.
@@TennesseeZ I mean y'all the ones who have to downgrade another artist in order to uplift yours and who cares about trophies that doesn't really matter the music is what is important.
That’s right and everyone have their own opinion and this not no school. Where you say great mean this and that trying to correct some body Eddie and David is two of the world’s greatest singers and Smokey have a different voice singing than David just like Eddie is Tenor and David is baritone And Smokey only wrote My girl for David he wrote the girls all right with me and get ready And the way you do the things you do and you are my everything he wrote them for Eddie but ain’t to proud too beg and I’m losing you and in the rain Norman Whitfield wrote them for David so don’t get it twisted Smokey only wrote one smash hit for David and that was my girl But I love Smokey he wrote a lot of songs and hits for a lot of artists at Motown he wrote all of Mary Wells hit records he wrote fir Marvin Gaye the Marvelettes. He was the artist to sing a songwriter, producer, and vice president of Motown. He was very good he’s right here man.
They may have been "The Voices", but David Ruffin truly was "THE Voice". No singer or performer could ever come close to him. Vocals, charisma, harmony...smooth as silk.
I love how david pick his brother up singing these notes as Eddie lose his falsetto register its really touching seeing them singing that bridge together and seeing eddie picking his brother up at the same time. This is classic
Yes, I also noticed David came in to assist Eddie in that song. This is the period when Eddie was ill with cancer. In my opinion Eddie Kendricks was the best Falsetto of all time. RIP!
I fell in love with their songs when I was still a baby kicking in the womb and now that I’m 33, I am so thankful that my parents introduced me to real music like this. My generation could never
It's great to see David to sing along with Eddie on a song that David originally wasn't a part of...and nice touch on David to sing Paul's singing parts. And when Eddie and David sung together it felt as though they were giving Paul a nice shout out.
I was so lucky to have been a teen in the 60's and grew up listening to one of my STILL favorite groups of all time. David, Eddie, Otis, Paul and Melvin. The best, EVER.....so sad what some of them went through. I still to this day, and I just turned 70, listen to My Girl every morning, followed by, Don't Look Back, Beauty's Only Skin Deep, I'm Losing You and Ain't Too Proud To Beg. They will go down history as one of the greatest groups of all time. Sorry I never got to see them in person.
I respect Eddie for the fact that he wanted to continue singing in his falsetto register. Though his upper range left, his chest voice was still there and strong. Yet he had courage to go and sing the best he could regardless of the cracks or issues he had with his voice
Matt Write I wonder what numb nutt told him not to get chemo? my dad passed of cancer and he died with a head full of hair even with chemo...man its sad...wish he was still here!
I agree with your comments hold heartily ! I hate the fact some ass wipe earlier comments is so negative on Eddie. Eddie was and is still is my opinion the best falsetto singer Ever. If as wipe feel that way then stop reviewing their videos!
Wow . This is how its done . Young people. No name calling and disrecting women. Harmony and sweet lyrics. Boat loads of talent too. Timeless Music. Forever tempatations
The bit where they held each other and David in the middle of the song said 'oh Lord'. Tears uncontrollably streamed down my face. Sad but lovely at the same time. Their brotherly love and bond was unbreakable.
The music of Motown and this song. Just my Imagination with Eddie Kendricks and brother Always Makes me cry too. I loved a man 4 houses down my street ( Using " Just My Imagination" ). On purpose,, I was young and this guy was nice and friendly and Handsome and his girlfriend was nice And Lucky. As the song kinda hurt. It Was Just My Imagination. I would do it again. But no. No more sadness. Thanks for listening 🎉❤😅🎉
Millennial here in 2023 and the note eddy hit before Paul’s he was singing that note for him and the RESPECT that David gave by taking a knee on his part. Outstanding and priceless.
There will never ever be another Eddie Kendrick he was one sexy man. And so was David none other like these 2 legends they just plain and simple cant be replaced!
I had cousins in my church related to David Ruffin. We just buried the last one last year. One of my cousins could sing in the church choir and she had that Ruffin talent.
I'm 74 and my heart jumps and skips a beat when I see these amazingly fabulous guys..Watching them perform and listening to their amazing music is what keeps me alive. I adore them and always will.
Brother to Brother, what a experience growing up with these guys......Real men ain't scared of real men, and as a woman I salute the original Temps and all they went through.....
Beautiful voices, so good. Motown at its finest. Could listen to this over and over. The music of today don't hold a candle to the 1960 early 70s motown
The Lyceum in the 70's on a Monday night used to finish with Just my Imagination this "rashion of pashion" was and then 50yrs later the best slow tune ever
Many of us boomer starting with My Girl into Ball of Confusion (message music) danced our way through high school right into college. Parte’ over here!
@@Semonyacob Paul was still a great friend of David’s and Paul had second thoughts about David being out of the group and only decided to vote him out because he felt like David would be better off as a solo artist
I feel very sad when I watch this video & Eddie’s wonderful voice has gone. David looks shocking but still had the voice. RIP both you will always be rembered ❤️
I LLOOVVEE ME SOME DAVID RUFFIN..#LEGEND I love and respect how David helped Eddie out with this..This was during the the Eddie voice was losing his voice.
I'm so glad they went on tour JUST the 2 of them before they passed on in NEW HAVEN , CT . i tried to google but cant find anything thinking it was 1990 .......WOW! what a night and i was like 22/23 ...
Both Eddie and David voices were going down hill at that time due to the drug use and 🚬 smoking. It was said that Eddie he was 2 pack a day smoker. 3/18/2023
My No# 1 Group back in the day.... And there music is still very relevant today.............. ............ R.I.P. Brother David and Eddie..... Thanks to TH-cam and the Internet you great work will forever live on so that folks like me can go back memory wise to those fantastic days and also give the Youths a look back at what real Music and Groups were... Thanks for posting......
It all took me back to our days together at Good Old Western Olin High School in Ensley,Alabama where Paul and Eddie were attending school when they got started. RIP GREAT MEN.
One of the greatest group ever. Love all their songs. It takes me very far , like to a magical place . Eddie Kendricks was very handsome . My type of man, too bad we never met.
One of the greatest singer of all time is David R. His name and his music will never be forgotten David R and the temptations well always love and miss you guys so much for the greatest hits songs you guys are the best ever God bless you and your family . Love 💕 you Mr and Mrs Hines ,
David Ruffin n Eddie The Temptations still entertain me daily. They are truly an authentically God gifted group that has inspired n uplifted n excited our generation n the future. No profanity no degrading remarks pure aesthetic love 💕 songs which are truly the best n most inspirational.Thank God
They made a/comeback with "The Temptations"". I was young, 16, , but they were extraordinary, no one can ever replace them. I loved both of them. End of the story.
no one can wear glasses like David Ruffin, any style
I love David Ruffin singing he was the best singer I ever heard in a long time and I'm 72 years old
Eddie and David were two of the World's Greatest Singers Ever. Loved The the Love that they showed for each other. Awesome.

Yeah by that time Eddie, due to his years of smoking, had lost his voice, compared to what it once had been.

I've noticed that about Eddie's voice, little scratchy. But still has a beautiful voice,,the high registers he can sing so beautifully...

Me too 🥺♥️🙏🏾

One could not live without the other. They were a Team!!! Eddie and David, I love you!
