As a Black man, I am so glad to have had the privilege to live during the 1960's...the music is one of the main reasons why.

Me too, though I’m a white mixed with a little Nigerian and other stuff. I think that the little bit of Nigerian must have put a lot of soul in me, except for the dancing part, because my favorite music is R&B and Soul as well as Elvis who learned a lot from the black community.

We had our transistor radio at the pool or park and we all loved the motown sound...great artists and groups...still listening to the good music that nobody can do or perform that way..bless them all

She didn’t push pre BBC execs. This was on ITV and produced by the woman behind the best ever music programme,Ready Steady Go! It wasn’t early Supremes, they were the top Motown act by this time. Neither did Dusty push to bring them over. They were touring and although going down well with the Mods playing to half empty venues. Dusty got Vicki Wickham of RSG fame to do a special. The Temptations were not on the tour and brought over just for this TV show. Which was my first sighting of them and confirmed what a great singer David Ruffin was. After this went out the shows on the tour sold out. Berry Gordy has always expressed his gratitude to Dusty, as have Smokey Robinson and others.

I would do the steps in the mirror like I was the SIXTH Temptation. My Mom laughed so much when she would walk in on me. I always could dance my butt off making up routines but can’t hold a note for nothing 😊

Those crisps dance steps though This hit was definately overlooked & they should have included this song or maybe even the Temps rehearsing or doing the dance steps to this in The Temptations Movie

OMG, that voice! I was little in their hay day and this sound reminds me of my childhood. A lot of family members are Temptations fans. David could sing soft like this, or with a lot of soul like in "I wish it would rain". He did get a lot of recognition, but I think he should have received even more. His solo stuff didn't get enough attention and I don't know why. It was top notch!

I love this song! It's clear that David Ruffin was influenced by the late, great Sam Cooke. David Ruffin's stint with the Soul Stirrers gave him the same sound that Sam Cooke had which you can hear it in Bobby Womack and the late, great Johnny Taylor. David Ruffin's voice was clearly a GOD given talent.
