    I think the song they’re recording (“Sorry Is A Sorry Word”) was the flip side of “All I Need.”

    That's Eddie Holland who interrupts the session at 1:22. Ivy Joe Hunter gives the count for the group at 1:42. Both these men wrote this tune.

    Otis Williams said in his book, " Temptations" that, if someone messed up, they had to start all over again. The "Funk Brothers" used to call the Temps "Doo- Woppers", and would tease them if someone made a mistake, and vice versa. All in good fun. A photo outtake from this session was used for the back cover of the "Temptations In A Mellow Mood" album. Incidentally, this film clip, from 1966, was featured bon a CBS news segment. The recording session was actually a contrived reenactment of Motown's early recording sessions. By this time, technology had advanced, and the label was actually able to record the vocals, and instrumentals on separate tracks. A little fun fact. Check it Out! Ciao!!!

    It was never David Ruffin & The Temptations. . Although he was the main vocalist at the time (along with Eddie Kendrick) & he wanted that billing, it never happened.

    @niqulusviii987 3 года назад

    Let it be know folks, Pro Tools or DAW's for that matter are not your enemy! They only do what YOU tell them to do. LIKE Herbie Hancock said with Quincy when the Fairlight CMI II (sampler/workstation) came out "folks wanna get made at the keyboard, well, we're the ones that have to plug it in!". There absolutely was studio magic back then, not to discredit these or any musicians at all! But, looping and sampling was in existence because people have always wanted to find a way to move product quickly. Before you say "not like it is today!", that's clearly obvious, but the principal has been the same. "If there's anyway I can get these machines to do something for me, or somehow lighten the load, then I will absolutely do that! Essentially, freeing up space in my mind to focus on other ideas simultaneously." This has been the great fight between Man and Machine.
