David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks and Dennis Edwards

[@jaywhofan]

All three of them are gone now. Man, they were some of the best singers on Earth, never mind in Motown.

[@ty7504]

We both celebrate-and-mourn with the dear Jaywhofan.

[@stevewilkosotherchair7192]

What about paul Williams

[@ty7504]

Dear Nyela-of-Adams .. the dear Paul-of-Williams had died many years prior to this 'reunion' ... but his voice and spirit still and ever will travel through time. May he rest and be remembered in the peace that his 'snoozing soul' deserves.

[@stevewilkosotherchair7192]

@@ty7504 yes I agree

[@jewelsjacobs5037]

No your right.. on earth .. well david ruffin

[@jonathanclary3992]

RIP David Ruffin (1941-1991) RIP Eddie Kendrick (1939-1992) And RIP Dennis Edwards (1943-2018) God Rest your Souls

[@vm24seven365]

i love the way Eddie plays with Martha's belt on her jumpsuit...very sweet. R.I.P. Eddie...there will never be another Mr. Eddie Kendricks.

[@latteliz1944]

I know it was so 😍cute

[@lindahines9380]

I know!

[@U4Know2]

How can you view this without tears streaming down your face??? Thank God this was recorded as a part of keeping music treasures with us. May God send DiscoNights some kind of wonderful blessing for sharing this!

[@pattiturner8080]

Ameen

[@kayes5]

When the date flashed across the screen when Martha and Eddie were talking I started crying. He died 4 months later. Wow.

[@waltervaught8896]

Three Greats gone but not forgotten R.I.P.

[@DiscoNights1987]

No problem and glad everyone enjoyed viewing this piece history. It had to be shared!

[@ty7504]

INDEED, DEAR DISCONIGHTS 1987 !!! !!! !!! INDEED !!! !!! !!! !!!

[@josephlicano8701]

Even as older men there talent is remarkable. True musicians who made each other better with time and friendship. One of my favorite songs is Walk Away From Your Love and their three man street version was beautiful.

[@hollidayevery]

It is so apparent that every singer in this video is so loving of every other one. Eddie, Dennis, Eddie, Martha, Mary are so fond of each other, and I am so glad to see this part of what makes them so indelible in our hearts. This is the part that is communicated in their music that is sucn an obvious intangible. Eddie's voice is so fantastic even without music. David and Dennis, just fall into lead, background harmony without skipping a beat. That is why they were magical together

[@Modelt5000]

THOSE HARMONIES !!!!THEY SOUND SO GOOD!! I LOVE THESE GUYS!!! THAT WAS SO FUNNY WHEN THEY WERE DOING THAT RUNNING MAN DANCE and DAVID COULD NOT DO IT AND HE AND DENNIS LAUGH!!! TOO CUTE!!! DiscoNights1987 THANKS FOR POSTING THIS TREASURE!!! SO WE CAN ENJOY AGAIN AND AGAIN!!

[@ty7504]

Only seconded, dear TheNikki810.

[@RMO6701]

all though these great men are mere shells of themselves and it hurts me to the heart to see them in this condition i still see the greatness in them and it makes me tear up at the thought. R.I.P David and Eddie your music will live forever in my heart and in my home. I promise to pass your music on to my kids and grand kids and i know once they hear the music they will continue to pass it on into the future.

[@totaly52]

I really appreciate how this viedo shows eddie's personality. It shows his lighter side, he was a fun loving guy. THANK YOU ! DiscoNight 1987 for sharing this jewel.

THe Legends....... Those Were The Days,,,,

[@brendaedwards3651]

Love all 3 voices

[@U4Know2]

Interesting that when Martha Reeves is speaking with Eddie Kendricks at the Apollo in June 1992, Kendricks died on October 5, 1992 of lung cancer. His grave is located in Elmwood Cemetery in Birmingham, Alabama. "All the way to the top to reach the bottom"...........a profound statement from someone who knew. RIP to one great talent.

[@lindahines9380]

these 3 friends might be dead but they are still alive in spirit to me , with 💘 love O Yes!

[@DiscoNights1987]

@Butterfly22797 They were singing Walk Away From Love. It's a song David sang when he went solo.

[@rhmcvay]

the Philly sound was the evolution of R&B to dance music, most notably "house" music.

[@garymayfield5995]

There not a group in the history of the Philly sound that could touch them ,the group that close were O'JAYS

[@evaponder1587]

[@hermanstewart1463]

disCo nighTs is the man! Or woman. lol

[@sandraatkins2539]

Eddie, yes, David suited the Tempts better than Jimmy in more than one way. Moreover, David was much better looking than Jimmy😅😅😅😅

[@williamfeilhauer2667]

This is wonderful but it makes the pain of the guys being gone forever hurt that much more.

[@RocBoiBaccInTown]

This is classic why this old time I didn't think David ruffin and Dennis Edward got along.

[@williamfeilhauer2667]

Really pissed me off finding out how berry Gordy ripped them off.
