I watch this GREAT performance almost every day,wish there were classy groups like this today.Dressed well,but,I guess kids these days don't want to see groups like this.
I'm 76yrs old now and feel proud to have been young when these guys were performing, David Ruffin's voice was sound blowing and together The Temptations were my top Tamla Motown group.
We need this music and gospel today. I'm pale and middle aged, living in a soul vacuum in Ontario Canada. Dull as a screw head here. Thank you for posting this. I listen to all my soul, R&B, gospel with rhythm, here. Today, I will enjoy Smokey, Al Green, Sam Cooke, Eric Bronson (Black Pumas), Bruno Mars, Chandler Moore, David Crowder, Naomi Raine, Tribal. Blessings to everyone.
I'm here at the top of 2025 reminiscing of my childhood; I'm 63 and Motown was big in our home in DC! When I began missing my parents, I listen to all the Motown greats and acts; it makes me happy! Those were some good-ole-days🥲
I'm 61 & these songs remind me of the good times with my grandparents, my parents, uncles, aunts & cousins who have all gone before me. We had no clue back then how these great performances would make us feel today, but I remain grateful for the memories.😢
My High School days , OMG!!!! I've wished for those days. You remember what grade you were in, teachers, pep rallies, boyfriends,clothes, EVERY THING....this and music during that time will ALWAYS be timeless. Real voices and harmony, choreography best ever. I'm 73 young in heart and spirit.
What an incredible song by an incredible group…I feel sadness when I think of David Ruffin passing away so soon…Motown legends that will never be outdone.
I'm sad too about how David died and I believe he was wronged when he was kicked out of the group after all he had done to make it! I think Otis was just jealous of David!
You do not even need to understand english, to appreciate this song. This was back when five singers could entertain a whole village with no electricity. We will never see those times again.
@@lisaencinias4988 I know. Back in that day, I was a teenager who loved singing and dancing in front of a mirror imitating dance steps with the hundreds of 45's single records I own. Jackie Wilson was my favorite singer back then. I'm 71. Motown gave us the best music!!!!
They were great but I think the dramatics as a whole had better individual singers snd harmony . Temptations were just those most marketed like the spinners . Ask any real singer and they will tell you the dramatics singers all had lead singer vocals .
They were the BEST of all the Motown crop! Whenever I think of Motown, I think of the Temps! I was born in 1953. From 1960 onwards, it’s all I ever heard. The best music on the planet. The kids today have no idea what they missed believe me. Todays music is not a patch of Motown-EVER!
@@TimmieThompson We certainly did Timmie. So, so glad I lived during the era of Motown, Atlantic, Stax and the rest. So many amazing artists, but the Temps were the best for me. No one to touch them! Even then there was Marvin, Martha, Supremes and Detroit Spinners etc. I’ve got a couple of Motown Memories albums somewhere. Must be worth a fortune now. Came out about 1966. And I’m from the UK. If you’re from the States, I really envy you. We may have had the Beatles, but even they had to bow down to Detroit! Take care!
I grew up on a farm outside of Detroit. This is the music my brother and I listened to when doing barn chores. The music of my youth broadcast to us on CKLW from Windsor.
Omg, the Temptations are such a classy act, but I got to say the best years were those with David as their front man. His vocals are mesmerizing and unforgettable.
I was their limo driver once, when they were in Dayton, Ohio. Big, Southern boys, right there!. I had to make 2 trips to the convention center . The 30 ft stretch wasn't big enough to fit them all in comfortably. It was my pleasure to provide ground transportation for the group. The best to you all you guys!.
Man i luv these brothaz so much we'll never get anything like it again living in 2024 David ruffin was the coldest to me music ain't original i would love to see a group shake a room like these guyz 🫡🫡🫡
Maaan! What a performance!! One of the things that made the Temptations unique is that they were all over 6ft. Not a big deal but not something you see everyday with a singing group. The original Temps are timeless.
I felt very sick just now. I felt like the enemy was attacking me. I felt like throwing up. I had thoughts of abusing alcohol (Im an alcoholic) and had thoughts of hopelessness. I heard this and started to feel better. I was also praying for God's mercy and forgiveness.
This is absolutely astonishing for a live performance done in the 1960s! Perfect vocals and perfect recording - Ruffin's voice is even more powerful here than on the original recording. It sounds so good I'd question if it was really live if I didn't see him clearly singing every syllable. Man, what a singer! And the group as a whole is a joy to watch, with harmonies and moves in perfect sync.
Love this song! Love most temptations songs & motown. I was born In 78 but my mom always played motown for me. I recently read the story about the man(richard penzibine) who wrote this & it breaks my heart much more than b4. Love me some motown!!!!
Love the showmanship and percision of these fellows... I Love this video, and watch it often... Paul is my man, but I would've hung out with Melvin any day, he just looks like he would be fun to be with, and that SMILE !!!! also Paul and his moves, WOW !!!
Great! I’m glad you like this so much. This is one of my very favorite vocal performances I’ve ever heard, and to get a live clip of the whole song is incredible. They didn’t always sing live on tv so as soon as I could tell it wasn’t lip-synced I had to share it ❤️✌️
That is so TRUE for the WHOLE of the human race… SIN is that wide road that leads to destruction, we ALL need Jesus Christ to help us to walk on that narrow road to lead us HOME to our LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ 🙏🏽
You could ALWAYS count on the Temptations to sound just as good (or better) live in concert, as they sounded on record. Just a couple of months ago, my wife and I were discussing how the Temps are the greatest male vocal group of all times. Their vocals, harmony, and choreography have never been surpassed, to date. This group has been the model for quintets and quartets, since the early 1960's.
I’ve luvved the Tempts since my childhood. Their harmonies are second to none! David had so much raw emotion in his voice. Eddie exuded pure joy when he smiled while singing in his beautiful voice & Melvin “Blue”’s deep bass echoed. Perfect combination!
i can watch and listen to the Goat David Ruffin sing and command the stage and be entertained and captivated each time. What a special voice and talent the GOAT David Ruffin before his time.Wow!!!!!!!!!pure greatness and unique style.
Yeah I was 14 years old in Germany being in love with soul music. Felt lonly for some loving and the music helped me to get over this sadness. Sweet Soul Music!

Terrible he died way too young
So sad a very tragic story. These guys put out some of the best music ever and this is one of my favorite songs. May he rest in peace.
David gave is life away far too easily 😢
Me Too!! 76 in May. No way to compare....Kanye West .....eat your heart out.
Today's r&b/hip-hop artists can't hold a candle to these guys.
I'm 63 and Motown gave us the BEST music!! The Temptations are one of my favorites!
I am 70 and I agree
I'm also 63...those were some chummy times; I conquer 😊

Their music has been timeless and never gets old. ❤️
Best music ever.

Been listening to it since it was new. I don't think we will ever see this again. Temps, Still the best!!
@@mikefeil3568 I don’t think so

Smooth, soulful, unbelievable harmonies--the Temps are simply the best.
Music is always going to be music hot & soul in your mind everybody has music and their bones weather is medicine medicine for the soul to be calm
Heart soul survivor
This music

There will NEVER be another David Ruffin. The most iconic voice that ever came out of Motown.
I listen to this song almost several times a week. It never gets old or boring. God Bless Em. Thanks.
Me too.
I have been listing to the temp since1972 they need to bring this great music back .this world would be better place.
david ruffin simply is and was the definition of musicianship and showmaship all in one. he is still top on my playlist
Dennis Edward's was the best over David Ruffin
@@rosalindwilliams196 R U crazy?
Dennis over David😮
I'm just kidding you gotta like what u like!😊
Great voice. Too bad he was a woman beater.
Mine also
No artificial background instruments or recordings, just pure natural talent ❤
I love it I had 3 older sister we had an old tube type radio wvok in Birmingham play that music all day I loved the 60
Natural talent all of them! One of the best groups ever!
Yes, there is. Drums, violin, horns, etc. But their voices are the thing that draws you in 👩🏻🏫👏🏻🥰‼️

So far, there hasn't been a better 5 male singing group than The Temptations We in 2023 and counting !

Damm miss this era of music blacks artists and performers had racial pride and respect no degrading crap 😢
Those Temptations the Greatest of All Time. Love Love Love The Temptations Forever. RIP Gone but will Forever Be Remembered. 💔 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
David, such talent... my God, this man was surely blessed.
He was the G.O.A.T.
Blessed? 🤔
I met all temptations
@@GlendaClarke-ir2cd I believe the commentor meant musically blessed. But that crack demon cursed him towards the end. His life was very dramatic smh
Play it again and just watch the background vocalists. Amazing choreography.
That's what music was all about back then. So happy I was a part of it.
ME TO, GLAD I WAS A PART OF THAT GENERATION. 👏👏👏
Amen To That
High School,
Smoky & The Miracles ❤❤ What an incredible experience!! 1962 was the Best!!
Never be another
I'm 62 and I was raised to this kind of music. love it and this kind of music can not be replaced ❤
Almost 60 years on my All-Time Top 10 list. Time has never dulled their tremendous appeal.
Amen !
I Wholeheartedly Agree ❤
Yes!!!
Lord have mercy this world is so sad today we need this music back no Auto tunes know half naked people running around on stage just pure talent
YES!!!!
I totally agree
This is a master piece
He was a power house
No body can't never ever take his place
I still can't believe how good this song sounds
Right!? So many of their tv appearances were lip-synced, that's why I''ve always loved this clip-100% LIVE
one of the greatest eras of music. anyone with a heart felt the music made in that time period.
Synchrony, Harmony, elegance. Amazing. Today’s groups don’t even come close
Never gets old. Beautiful smooth vocals.
You do not even need to understand english, to appreciate this song.
This was back when five singers could entertain a whole village with no electricity.
We will never see those times again.
David Ruffin's voice is insane! all of them! pure talent. Autotune not needed for these guys!
Now this is what you call singing and dancing. That's true talent at it's finest. Oh how I wish it would return.
Yes !!! 😊
Absolutely 🎉🎉🎉
@@JudeNance2:088 2:31
Me Too But it Simply Won’t!!😢The Legends will Never be Forgotten The Tempting Temptations!! BKA The Temps!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Couldn’t nobody sing like David RIP ❤
Ruffin was born with a special gift from God...
FOR SURE 👏🏻🥰‼️
amen
His voice was insanely incredible!
@@vickiduron7218 … I agree! Great talent in him, the other guys too, love they’re dancing 🎤🕺🏽x5 👏🏻🥰‼️
But don't forget his brother, Jimmy, who was a solo artist. "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" ruclips.net/video/SZfnKqAGlfY/видео.html
These songs will never grow old
David knocked it out of the park with this performance. Awesome.
Hi I'm 67 yrs old, this is music. Bring back music. Remember the good old days 🎉🎉❤❤😊
One of my favorite all time singers. ..Jackie Wilson!!!

David Ruffin voice can't be duplicated. You feel what he sings!

Yeah! I'm 75 & I love all the Ol
dies but goodies❤
The Temptations are the best of Motown sounds. David's vocals are just the most versatile, most soulful vocals I have ever heard. Genius.
My most favorite Temptations song. The lyrics are so special and David’s vocals are out of this world. 👏👏👏❤️
Greatest group of all time and Smoky Robinson wrote the songs. Wow!
Not this one.
Norman Whitfield
Quality never fades.
David’s voice adds life to the song like no other.
One of the greatest groups that ever lived 😊

@michael-ferriter- No. Unfortunately, before my time.
Marvelous, absolutely Marvelous!!
Thats what you call music I love old school music
This movie made me fall in love with The Temptations and David Ruffin in particular
My favorite group of singers .
Very beautiful song. The Temptations r my favorite group they made some beautiful songs. Memories is a sad song
Eternal beautiful music. Thank you for your talent. A privilege for my ears.

We can't go wrong with old school Absolutely Wonderful Music 🎶 , YEAH !!! 😊
The greatest music of all times.imitated but never duplicated.
Couldn't imagine growing up without Motown. I like all kinds of music, but I could never get tired of Motown.
I never got tired of listening to anything out of Motown! Nothing, but excellence!❤ ❤❤
I’m 50 and grew up in an Irish background Motown was our soul it gives me comfort ❤x
Pure R&B!!!!! Soul. So missed❤
Talent is talent, it would be a wonderful world if we did not have barriers. These guys are blessed with talent. Love their music.
I grew up loving these guys. Never had a clue of all the fighting and fussing going on behind the curtain. They were one great group. 💔
