      Yes, great music back then, so innocent.

    In my opinion, Just My Imagination is Eddie Kendricks most beautiful vocal ever recorded... Nothing tops this one. It's the longing, vulnerability, purity, and beauty of his voice expressed here so perfectly 💖 To me, it's his best song and one of The Temptations best ever and no one can forget about Paul Williams: his voice...so soulful and perfect, just so full of feeling 🌟 Eddie and Paul, always a winning combination 🌠 Pure class from the greatest male group of all time 👑🎙️The Temptations

    Good morning, my name is Johnny Lopez. I was born and raised in Chicago Illinois, and I love listening to Motown and I love the temptations. I will go up-and-down the hallways. As a young man sing in just my imagination. Well, I ended up moving to Puerto Rico, with my parents at the age of 16. I encountered this young man.
    He pulled out the base and started playing just my imagination. I started singing. I'm trying to make it as short as possible. Sing watch that. They ask me to sing at high school graduation and I sang the song and the rest is history because like I said, I've been blessed.

    So sad at the (relatively) low views. Should be in the millions. The departing (from the group) Eddie Kendricks vocal is as heavenly as the woman in the song . His crowning moment as a Temptation. Of so many great Temptations numbers, "Just My Imagination" has to be Top 3. It's arrangement, voice and message transports you into another world... the magic that only a great song can do. Sheer artistic beauty.

She’s with my grandfather now (he passed in 2020) so I know she must be happy and I’m glad she’s not in any pain anymore.

    I used to run the night audit at a hotel in Silver Spring, Maryland and Eddie's sister lived across the street. A couple of times when the Temps were in the DC area, he would stay at the hotel and visit his sister. He would come in around 2 am or 3am from a concert and we'd chat for about 15 minutes or so before he went up to bed. One of the nicest guys you could ever meet. I was only about 19 at the time and I was too stupid to be star struck.

    Eddie had the most beautiful voice, this had to be most beautiful song ever recorded by him, I mean nothing is coming close to this. It was well produced, background harmonies was on point. The beauty of his voice expressed here so perfectly. Then Paul came in and put the nail in the coffin to this song. One of my songs by the Temptations.

We were pissed. So happy to see it now. Saw Eddie perform it a number of times. The great falsettos, with Eddie, were William Hart of the Delfonics and Russell Thompkins Junior of the stylistics
