This is played in every single black home every single year it doesn’t feel like Christmas until it is played 🥰 I’m pretty sure every one will agree okay! 🥰
Same here. My Dad passed right after Christmas 2000. My memory every year when I hear this is him sitting in the living room playing this over and over. Miss you Pops.
Sorry for your loss. But he left you with exposure to his time. Black music is a birthright of our parents should leave to the next generation. Hear the voices, they will not hear on the radio, online. Enjoy.
❤️❤️❤️🙏 Sending huge hugs your way. Lost my dad too , in 2014, and his birthday is Dec 24th. Sending Christmas blessings your way! I'm sure you're dad is watching over you 😊🙏
OMG! I requested this last week! This was played in my home EVERY Christmas during my childhood, and I keep the tradition going! Best version of Silent Night EVER!!!! Thank you!
This version by the Temptations brings goosebumps and tears every time I hear it. It recalls many joyful Christmases when my kids were growing up. Motown was the bomb.com!!
Y’all make me go back and listen to the temptations miss the temptations “Rest in Peace: Melvin, Paul, Dennis, David, Eddie, Glenn, Richard, Ron, Oli, Elbridge & Damon. So far you guys are one of my favorite youngsters on YT reacting to that good music!
61-year-old white woman here. This absolutely is my favorite version of Silent Night. I have loved the Temptations for decades. So glad you are reaching back to hear another group whose talent was perfection. Moe Evans is right: "Christmas just ain’t Christmas without this one!!"
Wow!😱 Those of you whom have never heard this before, are you from abroad or an area that doesn’t have a large population of Black people (or Black Americans?)🙃
This was my Dad's and my favorite...they would play this every hour on the radio and we would never get tired of hearing it. We'd be in the car singing...He would pretend to be Mr. "Blue" and I would be the tenor. Memories....wow! ♡
I was playing this while I had my daughter and two of my granddaughters over helping me decorate the tree. My 16 MONTH old granddaughter yells MAMAW's song for Me! She ran to me and I picked her up and rocked and sang it to her as I had so many times. Thanks for reminding me of the beautiful memory of my smart sweet grand baby who is now a young beautiful lady.
I’m Mexican and I come from a Mexican/American household and this is our go to Christmas song , my mom loves the temptations so much everytime I hear the temptations I think of my mom ; I’m so blessed and lucky to have her in my life still I love you mom ❤️
This is the black family holiday anthem. For many in the community, this song is bittersweet....bitter because it reminds us of our loved ones we have lost.....sweet because it brings back so many beautiful memories of holidays past. I know I shed a tear or two when listening. I can now see my aunt, tears in her eyes, but smiling as she listens to this. I see my grand ma and cousins all enjoying each other. RIP grandma and Aunt Mary aka Sister.
Awesome version of a classic that I've not heard before! The Temptations were one of the great groups to come out of the 1960's. For sure react to more of their songs.
Man, The Temptations could sing a textbook and make it so soulful! This is beautiful!...another great Christmas tune: Don Henley "Please Come Home for Christmas." ✌️💙 Merry Christmas to everybody!
My favorite Christmas song is "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" by the Drifters. The Drifters were an early black group (R&B, Doo Wop, Soul). White Christmas was recorded by them around 1954. Thanks for reacting to the Temptations!!
I don't remember hearing this song until I was grown and is now maybe one of my favorite Christmas songs. Michael Jackson's voice at such a young age was/is unmatched.
@@gertysho4161 Yesss, 🙌🏾 ❤ every now and then I watch The J5 performance on the Ed Sullivan show here on RUclips. Michael rips that song to pieces. En Vogue does a great rendition in the intro to "Hold On." 👍🏾
@@Renee_nf094e 😋 That’s my favorite Michael Jackson song of all time. I remember watching them on the Ed Sullivan show when I was a little girl. His rendition of that song was so soulful for someone that young!
Motown was the soundtrack to my childhood home. The Temptations were pretty much top of the playlist and I could honestly listen to them sing anything. Their voices are stunning, they compliment each other so well and their harmonies are flawless.
One of the best ever and one of my all-time favorites! The Drifters took this classic and turned it into a SOUL classic -- hearing it makes the Christmas season come alive for me every year.
Classic. Timeless. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone suggest The Jackson 5's "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause". Little Michael Jackson's voice and range at that age was CRAZYYYYY, and the way he held that note at the end...MANNN.
Christmas Songs by: Stevie Wonder - That What's Christmas means to me Let It Snow - Boyz to Men Luther - Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas The Emotions - What do the lonely do at Christmas Charles Brown - Please come home for Christmas • Merry Christmas Baby James Brown - Santa Claus come straight to the ghetto Run DMC - Christmas in Hollis Kurtis Blow - Christmas Rappin Temptations - RudolphbThe Red-Nosed Reindeer I can go on and on
I love the "tempting" Temptations. They sang this song so beautifully; it brought tears to my eyes and heart. I love Christmas music and the true meaning of Christmas. Thank you for reacting to this one. Merry Christmas to you and yours. ❤
I love The Temptations! They are fly and those men can Sing! They take your soul to Church on this one! I love you Fred and Tim! Thanks for making us old heads smile and get joy watching your videos as you listen to some great music. Thanks for introducing a new generations to classics!!
This will forever remind me of growing up in Santa Ana CA. Spending every Christmas Eve and Christmas Day there. Christmas Eve we would go to church at midnight at the crystal cathedral, my grandma's house always had the smell of good food. Tamales, Beans, Ham. 😍 I miss you Grandma and Mom😥, and the way the whole family would go to Grandma's house on Christmas. Classic Christmas songs playing. This is my favorite.
Blackboylost Warren Actually we are both wrong. That was Glenn Leonard. This version was recorded in 1980. You can look it up. However there is a Temptations Christmas Album called Christmas Card recorded in between 1968-70 and was released in 1970. On that album Eddie Kendricks did sing Silent Night. But the one they are listening was with Glenn Leonard. Eddie was no longer with the group and Paul Williams was dead.
thanks once again, Twins - gotta say that one of the best things about the Temptations is the RANGE of vocals... you start out high as high can be... and then it's LOW as low can be - these guys were amazing, brilliant - and whatever other superlative I am failing to come up with at the moment... appreciate your response and hope you do more...
Christmas just ain’t Christmas without this one!! It’s a staple for Christmas!!
Absolutely
SHO nuff!!!!!
Right @@KayKay-fc5sg!!

Indeed! And thankfully it speaks to people of all colors, flavors and packaging. The Temptations warm up the holiday with this. {big smile}

Don’t forget “This Christmas” by Luther Vandross
@Ray Torres you will enjoy it

The Temps were the best harmonizes and counterpoint singers ever. Distinctive yet melodious😎
Christmas is not Christmas with this song. One of the coldest Christmas songs ever!
David Bowie and Bing Crosby singing “Little Drummer Boy” and “Peace on Earth” duet. Amazing!!
That one is one of my all-time favorites. This one is also featured heavily in the household this season.
@@laner.845 I remember watching the special. That performance is the only thing I remember from the show.
Yes!!!
I must agree, they did make an amazing duo when it came to those songs!
One of my HEROES David Bowie & Bing? I caint imagine. Sooooo Ima HAFTA give it a listen. Thanks, OBVIOUSLY A WHITE GIRL Cathy Wickern.
That monologue is baritone Melvin Franklin... talk about a deep voice!
A Legend of a Christmas Song. A truly one of a Kind, that we will never see again.
Ever
I requested this!! Reminds me of my dad... We played this whole cd every year. He passed away in 2016.. Miss you dad❤❤
Sorry for your loss.
Same here. My Dad passed right after Christmas 2000. My memory every year when I hear this is him sitting in the living room playing this over and over. Miss you Pops.

❤️❤️❤️🙏 Sending huge hugs your way. Lost my dad too , in 2014, and his birthday is Dec 24th. Sending Christmas blessings your way! I'm sure you're dad is watching over you 😊🙏
5 men with perfect pitch and artistic timing in one group... what a gift! Peace and Merry Christmas
I have to listen to this song and Ottis Redding's version of "Merry Christmas Baby" every Christmas.
This is the Christmas anthem for every black household, mine included.
Yes definitely
Not only black households!
It's not Christmas until I hear this.
As an "OG" 1st was The Drifter's "White Christmas"...then Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" then this version of The Temptations' ''Silent Night"
This heat is THEE Christmas song for all ages. Those different voices and style. Love this!!
Christmas isn’t Christmas with out hearing this song.

Have to listen to this every Christmas. It truly sets the mood.
Best Christmas song EVER .
This is the best Christmas song along with Donny Hathaway This Christmas
EXACTLY!!
This was my Dad's and my favorite...they would play this every hour on the radio and we would never get tired of hearing it. We'd be in the car singing...He would pretend to be Mr. "Blue" and I would be the tenor. Memories....wow! ♡
I was playing this while I had my daughter and two of my granddaughters over helping me decorate the tree. My 16 MONTH old granddaughter yells MAMAW's song for Me!

That Mary did you know gets me every time 🥰
Absolutely!
YES Yes & yes!!!🙋🏾♀️👊🏾🙏🏾
Absolutely!
Beautifully Done! Temptations had beautiful voices!
Awesome version of a classic that I've not heard before! The Temptations were one of the great groups to come out of the 1960's. For sure react to more of their songs.
Wow !!
How about the next song can be “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” by the Temptations?
Yep exactly
I love it!
Nobody sings it better!
Yessssss love it
Eddie kendricks killed it
Man, The Temptations could sing a textbook and make it so soulful! This is beautiful!...another great Christmas tune: Don Henley "Please Come Home for Christmas." ✌️💙 Merry Christmas to everybody!
Chills, shivers and a tear or two - absolutely flawless.
This is THE classic black Christmas song. It just ain’t Christmas unless you hear this jam at least 50 times.
My favorite Christmas song is "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" by the Drifters. The Drifters were an early black group (R&B, Doo Wop, Soul). White Christmas was recorded by them around 1954. Thanks for reacting to the Temptations!!
I must agree, We do like White Christmas by The Drifters! I hope they do consider reacting to it!
It's amazing. What a tribute to their journey and God.
Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) She is the most underrated singer of my generatikn. Great voice!

Michael Jackson’s “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus!”

Still is
Absolutely correct!
Awesome song and group. This song was played in black homes, especially cooking Christmas dinner.
I have always loved this version!! So so so good!!!
This will forever remind me of growing up in Santa Ana CA. Spending every Christmas Eve and Christmas Day there.

Hi notes by none other than Eddie Kendricks. Low low notes by Melvin Franklin! Love this song!
I believe the falsetto is Ron Tyson. He's no slouch, either.
@@thescatman5029 no sir, with all due respect that was definitely Eddie. Saw them perform this song. All day Eddie Kendricks.
That was Damon Harris
