O-M-G!! | Hall & Oates/Eddie Kendricks/David Ruffin - "Get Ready (Cos Here I Come)" MEDLEY- REACTION

[@andrewkubat1506]

They first played this medley at the Apollo Theater in Harlem NY. The joy on Daryl Hall's face during this performance is priceless.

[@StarGeezerTim]

If you have to pick one rabbit hole to dive down, jump head first into the "Daryl's House" rabbit hole. All the performances. ALL. OF. THEM. He invites artists from all different genres to come sing, and it's so cool because they perform old H&O classics, while Daryl and his house band backs and performs some of their guest's songs. It's good stuff, food for the soul, truly!

[@dimitriosgliarmis7622]

So Eddie is probably 45-46 in this. He only lived until 1992. Lung cancer. He was 53. Ruffin passed in 1991 at the age of 50. Also, a girl after my heart, I remember watching the movie when it premiered as a child. I was already obsessed with The Temptations and that movie made me love them more. Leon, was fantastic in it!

[@Theezmoney]

yep and Ruffin died at 50 of drug over dose. Guess he never could kick the addiction.

[@chuckyost6973]

Little girl, the Temptations were without par, as were Hall and Oates. It is amazing that they honored one another!!

[@loveloochay]

💃💃💃 .. you can't go wrong with all of these guys !!!!!!!! .... 💃💃💃

[@garyarnett1220]

Fantastic presentation Britt. Great song(s) and reaction. Thank you for the fun tonight.

[@brittreacts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnhaley5593]

Written by Smokey. You need to see Smokey at Darryl's House.

[@mikelesley2803]

The original Temptations plus Dennis Edwards are the greatest singing group ever. Their list of hits is legendary as is their singing and choreography. They are truly legends whose music is still being enjoyed today. TEMPTATIONS FOREVER!

[@charliejg]

I love that Hall and Oates showcased this music in their live album/tour. It is their roots, that "Philadelphia Sound", soul from the 60s and 70s and a bit of doo wop from the 50s.

[@PhilippoDan]

David Ruffin was amazing. Him doing I Wish it Would Rain is one of my go to tracks.

[@waynewright6979]

You rightfully referenced the requisite humility that Hank and Oates possessed to sing behind David and Eddie, we are reminded that it was also a moment of gratitude. The immensely talented Hall and Oates, of the “Blue Eyed Soul” moniker, were also bestowing homage to the R&B genre. True “class,”a very much missing component of (current) true artistry. ❤️

[@artmanjohn2]

"Live Aid" 1985, I remember watching this live on TV back when, I was blown away! Some other the other folks who performed at Live Aid were Bob Dylan, The Boomtown Rats, Bryan Adams, The Cars, David Bowie, Diana Ross, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Paul Weller, The Police, The Pretenders, Queen, Sade, Status Quo, U2, Ultravox, The Who and many more. Britt, you need to react to Foreigner performing "I Wanna Know What Love Is" live from Live Aid in 1985 also, It'll mess you up in a good way!

[@sunflowermahea225]

I grew up listening to this 8:54 8:55 wonderful band . You always have to bring back memories, don't you. If my memory serves me right first time, seeing them live was on the american bandstand.

[@RubyThompson-j1t]

This was so Darn good. Your reaction was spot on. How humble were Hall and Oates to sing background and really get into it. Loved everything about this.

[@brittreacts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@victoriagrove5344]

Great song! Love the Temptations…all of the dance moves they did together were amazing!

[@bjm9071]

I was at this concert! BTW, Daryl Hall worked with The Temptations during his early days. This Motown and Philly combo of reminds me of Boys II Men's song MotownPhilly. Check it out!

[@lmhofmann3934]

@bjm9071 Wow!! You were so fortunate!! Boyz II Men’s Motown Philly was such a fun and fantastic record. I really loved their upbeat stuff!

[@BuzzMan304]

I had the cassette tape of these four gentlemen performing together at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem!

[@Theezmoney]

I think you would really like Live at Daryl's House with the O'jays doing some of Hall and Oates songs and O'jays songs. It's one of the best ones.

[@lilamuzik3385]

Britt, this is so fine. The Temptations with Hall and Oates at the Apollo, you've got to see them, the entire Temps sing "My Girl".

[@carolseddens9434]

The Temptations are still touring, featuring Dr. Otis Williams,age 82. He is the last surviving member of the original group. Faces have changed, but the quality is undiminished. Great harmony, the precise routines they're famous for, and five solo quality voices, each of which can and do lead a songs. I'm a lifelong fan and native Detroiter. I've loved them since I was12. I'm 73 and still in love!

[@markedman3990]

Incredible!! What a treat! Thank you!

[@brittreacts]

Thank you too!

[@stephenhuber1219]

Live Aid was the largest Musical Event in history Philadelphia & London. Phil Collins took The Concord and played in both cities

[@gordonpatterson8615]

I’m with you Britt, I love those guys! Lucky enough to see Ruffin/Kendricks on their final tour, they also had Dennis Edwards along too! Brilliant gig ❤

[@Markrealguy51]

Britt if this is 1985 he was 46.. And the artists here are spectacular

[@sylviafarese8837]

Hi Britt! Yea ma’am, Temptations were 6 foot and taller with David being 6’5”.

[@cosmyccowboy]

This was on the juke box at open pond back around 1970. I played it every chance I got!

[@trishdaniel6196]

WOW, THIS IS GREAT!!!!! THANKS BRITT!!! IF THIS DOESN'T GET YOU UP DANCING, NOTHING WILL!!!!!!!

[@brittreacts]

No problem!!

[@ahmad.tillery.1987]

Legendary performance

[@marcjmorin8892]

Britt, Hall used to tour with the Temptations as a kid. He had a group called The "Temp-tones" that would open up for them on tour.

[@DonDon-fo8gr]

Just think how a young David was in the 60’s epic. 😅

[@debibailey2968]

You are THE cutest thing, i enjoy watching your reactions so much,! Thank you for being you and sharing with us! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@brittreacts]

😊 thank you

[@clydeb7713]

What a SUPER reaction Britt! So into it I felt it!

[@brittreacts]

Thank you!!

[@clydeb7713]

@@brittreacts You keep going girl get to 500k you will do it! I watch many reactors and you're moving up for sure! The $$ follows 😝

[@chuckwilliams6261]

Country music? You're thinking Farm Aid girl!

[@dw9911]

You are to much! Love it!!! Been watching you from the start and i'm convinced and signed up today, you are hilarious ... FYI, Darryl has a show/ podcast thing he does ( Darryl's house, I think) from his country estate...its pretty cool, he brings people out to jam with his band in his jam room, then they eat lunch and hang out.... Anyways, im pretty sure her did an episode with at least three, maybe four of the OG Tempsters!?! Actually thats when Ceelo sang i cant go for that!!! I

[@brittreacts]

Yay! Thank you!

[@ralphnewberry1140]

was there... love it.

[@MaryNorthrup-l1y]

I believe they were the only original Temptations that were available/alive to perform. You should look up Hall & Oates Live at the Apollo concert to get the full effect of them all performing with dressier clothes. If you love Papa was a Rolling Stone, you should look up "Live from Daryl's House" episode with the group Train. The lead singer of Train sings Papa was a Rolling Stone with Daryl.

[@richardkint6531]

The edit version of the full medley turned out to be a hit record in 1985. Remembering the Temptation movie, a lot of tragedy happened in the group with most of the original members passing before the age of 60.

[@JohnSawruk-k1n]

Mr. Ruffin tragically gone to soon. What a Powerhouse!

[@brianvernon249]

Mr Kendrick is a National treasure. Dennis too. That other temptation is a national bruise. Ask my goddess Tammi and how she feels about motorcycle helmets.

[@debonaireslots]

Paul actually killed himself before David Eddie and Dennis formed the new group.... do a review of Temptations Standing on the Top... Rick James actually wrote that song for them... it was apart of their reunion tour

[@rickgardner3417]

Loved your reaction, you really got into it.😃

[@brittreacts]

Thank you!! 😁

[@blkpanther11]

Little Fun Fact Eddie Kendrcks Was Known As The Thin Man He Even Have A Song With Title.

[@ralphnewberry1140]

This is awesome....

[@JGoodroe-mm9hm]

Check out Papa was a Rolling Stone Live at Daryl’s with Patrick Monaghan

[@Hey-Googootz]

Britt, check out the early temptations song 'it's growing' (black and white) video of live performance and check out Ruffin's mannerisms! You love it!

[@leecaryer2569]

Smokey wrote this song immediately after writing "My Girl," which went to No. 1 R&B and Pop, and is a true classic. "Get Ready" was No. 1 Soul, but only 29 on Pop. Of course it was covered by many groups afterwards and is well remembered today. However, at that time Berry Gordy fired Smoke from his spot was writer for the Tempts and Holland Dozier Holland replaced him. HDH was great, but what would Smokey have done????

[@marksilverman4537]

Britt, please listen to Rare Earth's version of Get Ready. A soul classic. Then listen to David Ruffin's Walk Away From Love. Another R&B/Soul classic from the 70's.

[@AlexanderCalderon-kd6mh]

Great collab!

[@Zebred2001]

Gotta check out Rare Earth's cover of Get Ready!

[@Russ_Keith]

There was a host of great soul bands in the 60s and we didn't miss out on them here in the UK but the Temptations were my favourite. So adventurous and funky. If you like skinny male singers, The Rolling Stones did a great Rock 'n' Soul cover of Ain't too Proud to Beg I think you'd love. Not to try and replace the original but I think to acknowledge it and reintroduce it to a younger audience as rock replaced soul for a while in popularity. Just sayin'. British bands revered the black Blues and Soul artists and incorporated a lot of their songs into their repertoire.

[@bryanstoudenmire]

The group with Otis was the real group as far as he owns the name

[@matthewdooley7855]

The Temptations are the greatest thing to come out of Motown. I know that covers a lot of ground! Farm Aid and Live Aid are different things - I believe the former was inspired by the latter.

[@munnygawn9480]

"I stepped on stage, at Live Aid, the people gave and the poor got paid." -RUN DMC (My Adidas)

[@radiocity80]

Eddie Kendricks had a small amount of cancer that was found in the early 80s. But he didn't get chemotherapy because he didn't want to lose his hair. Starting in the 80s he had issues hitting the high notes due to chain smoking. He died of cancer because of that. Which is tragic. David Ruffin is thin because he had a major coke addiction going on. It sabotaged his various comebacks in 80s up to 91 when he passed. Sorry to be debbie downer, but The Temptations saga is tragic.

[@brianvernon249]

Men should not beat up women. 3 out of 4 of them got that message.

[@michaeltujague8706]

You need to review the Daryl Hall & John Oates song “Do What You Want, Be What You Are” from the (1976) album “Bigger than Both of Us"…your welcome 🎤😎👍

[@montedienno4413]

check out David Ruffin - Statue of a fool , you wont be disappointed

[@yatgrave1120]

I'm not gonna lie, maybe Oates is ttiny but hot, lol. Love every moment of Daryl and John with The Temptations. (There's another performance by them on the Apollo) They are the idols of them, especially of Daryl

[@tekkpirates]

Wonder how she responds to todd rundgren, last ride, the verb to love, hawking

[@bryanstoudenmire]

David was probably a little high at the time

[@DawnGarciaSookieMae]

Actually all 4 of the brothers have that same type of voice. Their youngest brother Andy had a solo career. Sadly Barry (who is the oldest) has outlived all three of his younger brothers. You will love SNF!! Stuck as in life, as in growing up and maturing…never understood why the female lead was chosen, she was terrible and their was no connection felt between them..

[@iseeall935]

If you look it up I think to be in the temptations in the early years you had to be over 6 feet tall

[@kevindeschenes4537]

The original Get Ready by Rare Earth is a better listen. Side one of the album is one song with the best drum and saxophone solos. A reaction to the original would be liked. Thanks
