This is an ALL time soul Classic. Have Loved this song since it came out, thanks for checking it out.

[@stephenperry9947]

You've been missing out my man. Time to take a trip back in time.

[@jonmayes2422]

It makes me so happy to see youngers like you learn what real Singing and music is all about

[@WitchDoctor87]

How have you never heard classics like this...

[@claranielsen9330]

I was 9 yrs old when this came out and yes we were jamming to it back then.

[@truemenimprovedaily]

I miss these intros. When people valued music for more then a quick listen but instead a “shut up and listen” this music sucks you in and almost puts you somewhere like a time and place

[@mt10-nick66]

This song in the movie just hits with crazy emotion ! Gotta watch the movie

[@nenelles-dancelikenobodysw8511]

Yaaasssss!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Nice to see you appreciate this MASTERPIECE.... for your playlist

[@Lakeshore14]

Classic Motown. 😊

[@kathyspeed1575]

I'll never get tired of they're music.!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@patrioticguy1791]

Such an amazing song with so much emotion. The music completely speaks to your soul and sets the stage for the lyrics to deeply affect you. Definitely one of my favorite Motown classics. Nice reaction my friend.

[@jimfrederick3907]

The best intro! The great Norman Whitfield also wrote: "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" "You're My Everything" "I Wish It Would Rain" "Cloud Nine" "I Can't Get Next to You" "Ball of Confusion (That's What the World Is Today)" "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" I Know I'm Losing You" "Car Wash" "Smiling Faces Sometimes" "War" "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"

[@janiewindle946]

The Temptations was an awesome group! I was 11 when this song came out and I thought it was so sad.

[@kadubster]

You’ve never heard them before now that is rare hope you have a good day or night

[@geebeeman1]

A classic, the music, the singing etc

[@rcsox]

AWESOME SONG!!! Next check out Ball of Confusion.

[@susantownsend8397]

The 70s were great for music. Soul/Motown Blues Folk Rock and Roll Hard Rock Jazz ….and more.

[@BoxerRick]

This is a slick jam. I already loved your channel. I was literally singing this just 2 days ago. God bless, Doc. Keep jamming

[@meganedwards1039]

Here's a list of songs you gotta check out. My Girl Beauty Is Only Skin Deep The Way You Do The Things You Do Aint Too Proud To Beg

[@randypullen5680]

Don't forget David Ruffin's "My whole world ended the moment you left me" Sista Megan ! Also check out "Ball of Confusion" !

[@TheDivayenta]

Shout out to the brilliant Funk Brothers who played on all the Motown records.

[@williambianchi2006]

You are lucky because you get to hear these songs for the first time. Closest I can get to that is watching you.

[@antonybullock2240]

One of the greatest songs ever created ever.

[@lex1945]

One of the greatest masterpieces of Soul!

[@brandonayong5823]

Fantastic group . You should check out the live rendition of " For once in my life". Group member Paul Williams was very ill and only had 5 years left but gave one of the most amazing performances ever on television

[@kathyspeed1575]

I've been listening to them since I was a kid and I'll be 70 this year.

[@apebull123]

the first 45 i ever listened to, 1972, one side all instrumental, the other side with vocals. So weird that the first 45 i remember happened to also be one of the greatest songs ever. EVER

[@Chocobobob]

I love how your whole demeanor changes at 3:08 when you realize this a serious song 😂 All he left us was alone … damn that’s deep

[@wifeoftim]

The Temptations were so talented but there was so much drama going on behind the scenes. Otis Williams as of this writing is the only surviving founding member. Melvin Franklin was the deep bass and what a voice!

[@jamesrawlins735]

That is an understatement about The Temps and drama. I remember they had that four hour movie about them - and it wasn't long enough to really cover everything.

[@rogree77]

This track is my fav Temps joint….heard it for the first time when I was about 6 in the late 70s early 80s. The message in this song was serious, Norman Whitfield at his best!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@lesheawhite1870]

Aww man. I hate that you were not exposed to this classic. Songs were like that in the 70s. Real live orchestras and talented musicians

[@marktracey4272]

Hi from Great Britain, on this sad day , but everything in the universe has an action, and a “ reaction “. So I applude you for watching a song that I love, and seeing your reaction to the song, was . 0 fake. And that’s why I watch your channel. Much love from Great Britain ❤❤

[@freckled100]

this is my favorite Temptation song, but Just My Imagination is wonderful. Heck, they're all good!

[@carolinagallegos3926]

Welcome to my generation young man!!💖💖💖💖

[@freckled100]

Hey, this isn't Auto Tune, this is the real thing - all different kinds of voices.

[@kevinlowe4953]

I'm beginning to love this man... he's badass

[@robintiger9082]

Now this is music. And music is an art. I love these guys. Have you ever done Ball of Confusion and Psychedelic Shack ( that's where it's at). Dude. Never heard of you. Was just listening to some Temptations and you popped up. Good reaction. I think I will check more of your reactions bruh.

[@patrickturner8817]

I loved soul train, with don cornelius, this is dixie from texas, love, peace and soul.

[@1974spr]

Darryl's House does an absolutely AWESOME tribute to this song. Different artists collabing to play it LIVE. So good.

[@charlottewood8964]

That really was the singers dad's day he died. He didn't want to sing it. Smokey said instead of hiding from it. Embrace it!

[@deadzombiegirl65]

Love the Temptations

[@lanceflx63]

A Classic Norman Whitfield production.

[@eithnamurphy8288]

Masterpiece

[@futurewifeyandhubby3317]

They singing just wait for it

[@davidstobie2751]

When I first heard this I knew I understood

[@randyfergus8781]

The voices are angelic, not only with the Temps but everybody who came out of Motown. Every bit as amazing was the group of musicians who played on virtually everything that ever related by them. They referred to themselves as The Funk Brothers and played on more #1 hits than the Beach Boys, the Beatles, AND Elvis Presley COMBINED. Check out the documentary about them calle3d "Standing in the Shadows of Motown". A couple of hours well spent

[@michaeltaylor8835]

No autone was harmed in this video

[@stephenmcdonald8013]

I use to listen to this song over and over lots of similarities in my childhood.

[@susantownsend8397]

Best intro ever.

[@robertphelps1574]

The original version by The Undisputed Truth is worth a listen too

[@phillwilkinson8319]

Loved this.. never really listened to the lyrics before because the music is so good.. this is so soulful, more of this Doc

[@gymnasticskitties9860]

Can we talk about how smooth these cats were?! Hot Damn!!

[@827dusty]

Great song!

[@ce7618]

An when he died all he left us was a loan . Classic. 🇬🇧

[@827dusty]

The best music is from the 60s and 70s. Motown had The Four Tops, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye and on and on. And that's just Motown, Rock music was the best back then too. Most music now is just plain bad.

[@knet3109]

My favorite Temptation song, it’s just awesome, love it❤

[@Rachel-uj2vq]

Love The Temptations!

[@onsesejoo2605]

With this you'll get the idea where the wah-wah guitar effects pedal got its name from. :) Also, a synth violin and brass just would not be the same.

[@rolandratz1]

Hi Doc - this song was on my first MC - the Temptations - the MC is called "Masterpiece". The music cassette had the title in overlength and on the back was the title as an instrumental version. This music has been with me all my life and has contributed to me being an absolute fan of "Tamla Motown". Have fun listening, maybe you will get to hear the extended version.

[@johngarcia7774]

Please try Hey Girl (I like your style) Audio Only by these guys. It’s an underrated gem. Short with a killer sax. Thanks for your consideration.

[@sammybeck7794]

Ahhhhhh yes. Back when music was real

[@demontimeafter9890]

Yo! I wouldn't be surprised if this song title has correlation to the line off eminem- Mockingbird "Papa was a rolling stone, mama developed a habit and it all happened to fast for one of us to catch it" because this song he's saying his dad left him and his mom all alone and that's basically what em was saying he did when he had to go to LA with Dre and Kim and Hailey went back to Detroit

[@macsfe9828]

Oooh love this one! When I was a teen in the late-80s I used to listen to the "oldies" station, I always thought this was a lot older than 1972! lol. But is this remastered or something? The instrumental and the parts where they're lined up at the mics in the studio, is that them? The video quality looks different/more recent in those parts. The trumpet is so crisp! Still a BANGER!

[@singinglawr]

The singers that they featured in the black and white studio scenes lined up behind the Microphones were the actors who were playing the "Temptations" in the the movie "The Temptations" which came out about 14 years ago. It was a mini series and can be found on most streaming platforms. They were performing the song after Norman Whitfield and Shelly Berman convinced Dennis Edwards to sing it despite the fact that the 3rd of September was coincidentally the day Dennis' real father died. The base player footage and the trumpet playing footage was also from the movie.

[@beatlesarebest]

I just found out this is actually the SHORT version! The album version is 11:50 long!!! I have loved this song since the day it came out and I'm just learning about this. Heck I have a 2 disc greatest hits and THEY used the short version.

[@mildredpierce4506]

Tomorrow will be the 3rd of September 2021

[@jennytalks5882]

Greatest song of all time. Really! Thank you!

[@myfatassdick]

You should hear their version of silent night It played at the start of Friday after the next The guy with the deep voice goes extra deep for that shit

[@lesheawhite1870]

Classic song

[@denisesalmon4496]

I love the temptations

[@kathyowens4811]

At least a three minute intro. Wow!

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Motown baby

[@mildredpierce4506]

Ironically, the lead singer's father died on September 3rd.

[@grege9019]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jamescohn4268]

Best intro ever….

[@MrfuckinBeilke]

Peep some "galt macdermot" my funky brother ✊🏾

[@greendoor49]

[@JonSnow-bc6ro]

I love this song, great for at the beach after dark with a camp fire going and a great group of friends and a cooler of cold beer. Hey wanna get blown away with a group/song ? Check out.... The Edgar Winter Group. Song - Frankenstein

[@anitaboyd1918]

Listen to "housecall" by maxi priest & shabba ranks

[@angiesullens2126]

I think they extended the intro because this is from a Netflix series

[@juxtaposebeauty247]

that's Rick James' uncle with the deep voice

[@cassiushaye5807]

React to standing on the top by the temptations and Rick James it’s a very funky song and it’s so good

[@gabrielolawoye8973]

[@leetheaarceneaux8151]

Can you review Kool & The Gang Summer Madness?

[@jennameg4722]

Are the Funk Brothers the background band? They’re good, whoever they are. I like you’re reaction.

[@susantang287]

Yes, they were the sound of Motown. 'Standing in the Shadow of Motown' is a must see documentary about them.

[@aitch3]

It's a long fable.

[@naetiontv]

The intro is actually way longer than that😂😂😂They cut it for this. But the original song is soooo long.

[@carlwagner2049]
