    Classic! Smokey Robinson and Ronald White wrote "My Girl" for The Temptations in 1964 and they took the song to number one in 1965. When you're read for more from them check out some of these: "The Way You Do the Things You Do" (1964), "Get Ready" (1966), "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" (1966), "(I Know) I'm Losing You" (1966), "I Can't Get Next to You" (1969), and "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" (1971).

      @@elisageorge1798 Well first of all, I don't know who the second band is you're talking about, I only said The Beatles knocked this song out of the #1 position. If you're talking about Gary Lewis and the Playboys, as I said, The Temptations took the #1 spot from them with this song.
      And as far as The Beatles go, no I don't believe it. And here's why.
      Starting 7 years after The Beatles broke up (1977), six live Beatles albums were released, three of them hit the top ten in the U.S., the last one to chart here was in 2013, all three went Platinum.
      After they broke up 8 albums of compilations of their recordings hit the top ten, again all going platinum. Another 4 hit the top 25 and the last one to make the charts was also in 2013.
      Five boxed sets charted in the top 50 between 2004 and 2013.
      Their last single that charted in the U.S, was six years after they broke up.
      On the other hand, The Temptations last song in the top ten was in 1972. They had 37 top 40 songs and 4 #1 hits compared to The Beatles 50 top 40 and 20 #1's. And The Beatles only recorded for less than eight years.
      So, while I love The Temptations and have loved them since I bought my first Temptations single back in early 1965 (My Girl), I still have to consider reality in choosing what to believe. It's all speculative and subjective anyway, so no disrespect meant to what you choose to believe.

    I'm glad you mentioned that looking at the dance moves in this song because that very topic is one of the things that made Motown such a great place and allow them to have such a long and and great history with their groups in their all of their singers whether they're and a group or some other format because everybody and Motown learned dancing they had to learn to choreograph the choreography for each song and they danced with each song they sang The Temptations was probably the one of the first in the greatest to do that but that's a staple in every Motown hit just look at any Motown artists that you review and watch them dance.

    This is some of the music of my girlhood. How many times did I walk home from school singing "My Girl" to myself? I loved Motown and when I think of Soul in the 60s, right away I think, "Temptations, Four Tops, O'Jays." Many other greats, of course, like Smokey Robinson and the Miracles! SO much great music. Also, back then "Top 40" and Soul radio stations didn't just play what was current. They played the "oldies," so these songs were on the radio for years, happily!

    Anytime I hear this song I want to cry. Watching "The Temptations", and documentaries, of these men make you love them and cry for their loss.
    Beautiful song.

    You can go wrong with the Temptations. Please react to I Wish It Would Rain.

    The guitar riff was created by Motown guitarist Robert White and he came up with it right on the spot.

    This is David Ruffins' 2nd best vocals, the #1 being Ain't Too Proud To Beg, IMHO. My Girl was the first song I heard of the Temptations when it came out that made me fall in love with their sound. It has always been one of my favorites and to this day cannot sit still when I hear it. I must sing along and move to it.

    It was called the Temptation walk. Eddie Kendricks had a later solo hit called Keep on Truckin'.

    The Temptations have many hits great hits like my girl the song that tells the story of many men and it's my favorite song I hope you get a chance to review it it's called Papa Was a Rolling Stone. I guarantee you if you review that song you'll absolutely love the story that song tells because it's so true with so many men growing up.
