Oh, how I loved the Temptations! 💗⃝🌕🎶 I came across this old performance from The Ed Sullivan Show, and it brought back so many wonderful memories. Eddie Kendricks had such a beautiful voice. And those dance moves! Does anybody else remember listening to the Temptations?

Oh WOW!I loved the Temptations. To me, they were GREATER THAN LIFE ITSELF!

I loved the Temptations too. And I'm talking about the original Temptations - Paul, Eddie, David, Melvin and Otis + Dennis. They were a little bit before my time, but I've done my research,

Actually, there was another Temptation - Al Bryant. David Ruffin replaced him. But when Al was with them, they didn't have any hits.

When David Ruffin left the Temptations, I was a little worried that they wouldn't be the same. But Dennis Edwards, who replaced David Ruffin, was sensational. They were every bit as good with Dennis Edwards as they were with David Ruffin. I'm not going to say they were necessarily better, because Ruffin was a great singer, but with Dennis, they didn't miss a beat.

Guys, you're going to find out I'm older than I look. But I remember when Paul and Eddie left the Temptations. I knew then they would never be the same again. I can't believe the Temptations are still performing. The few times I've heard them, or saw them in a video, I couldn't help but thing, "These are NOT the Temptations"

Margie, thank you so much for sharing this. You just made my day. What I love about the Temptatations is, they had a sound that no other group had, and never will. And that bass singer, Melvin Franklin, was awesome. What made their sound so unique was, Melvin singing bass, Eddie singing tenor, and the others in between. And don't forget Paul. He was also a great singer, and was very instrumental in their sound.

Sammy hit the nail on the head. I also thought they were 'Greater then Life Itself'. When we were in high school, the 'Mowtown Sound' was at its best, with the Temptations leading the way. A very sad day for me was when I visited Eddie, a few days before he passed from lung cancer. After he passed, I kept in touch with Mrs, Kendricks, Eddie's mother, for about a year. She was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever known.
