[@alumbo]

Smokey Robinson, Brian WIlson, and Marvin Gaye all had great falsettos as well, but there's something about Mr. Kendricks. "I never met her, but I can't forget her."

[@natalee217]

alumbo Mr Kendricks was everything. So underrated. His pitch is perfect. RIP Sir Kendricks

[@davidmilfred3809]

[@reinaldogreen2079]

the last temps release featuring Eddie Kendricks--1971

[@dallasjunior1811]

Reinaldo Green and Paul Williams

[@da5idnz]

Thanks for posting. Loved hearing this. As a Beach Boys fan, I think I'd have to give them the crown of greatest vocal group ever though ;)

[@Yamcharotto]

Eddie was at the top of the harmonies singing 1st tenor which added expression to the to harmonies and his leads. The Temptations didn't need degrees in music (although Dennis had one) they grew up singing in church. They voices aren't like the "cookie cutter fresh from the mold" voices MANUFACTURED from vocal school like Take 6 (which I've listened to). In essense these two cannot be compared because they aren't from the same era. But the Temptations are more versatile than Take6.

[@Yamcharotto]

A vocal group circa Late 50's and 60's should have 4-5 members. And another thing is that each member of the Temptations had a unique voice. Melvin had a rich bass. Paul had a heavy baritone yet powerful voice which stood out when whenever he sang Second Tenor in the background. Otis had a soft voice which gave the harmonies a full sound. David put a raspy sound in the harmonies when he wasn't singing lead. Dennis brought a churchy sound to the harmonies when he wasn't singing lead (1968- mid80)

[@masterjedi343]

Damn this is some sexy music.

[@lisalane7648]

This sounds so good its amazing to hear it. Its like they are right here infront of me and that would be my imagination. Thanks for this sooo much again and again.

[@Low_Enzo_]

I love this

[@4ever1COLDPLAY]

Well west Philadelphia born and raised.... (sorry, couldn't help myself) I agree that this is an AMAZING song.

[@jaylene.turner6524]

Eddie Kendricks- Lead; First Tenor/Falsetto --------- Background: Dennis Edwards (First Tenor) Otis Williams (Second Tenor) Paul Williams (Baritone; Lead on “every night” part) Melvin Franklin (Bass) This was the group’s third #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, and the last hit to feature Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams before they left the group.

[@charlenebrewington6349]

Just close your eyes and let Eddie serenade you umph umph umph

[@TiaMalas]

Be still my heart. No. screw that. Sing and dance!

[@Tunes342]

I agree lots of talented tenors that sang in the falsetto, i would also add Eugene Record and Russell Thompkins to that list as well,probably Smokey as well,but not sure if he is considered a falsetto singer,but he's still a great singer regardless

[@antoniotaylor5641]

dam, just dam

[@KingsOfSpins]

Who are the 56 people who gave this a thumbs down? Would love to hear their reasoning.

[@bobbierobinson6269]

They aren't worth the effort.

[@jimmyhowdyshell]

Never an I repeat Never: Well my generation be beat for an era of great music! An being a white boy, there's nothing in music better then Motown!! Peace Out!!

[@Tunes342]

@kpillmatic ,yes really,I said it,their harmonies are arguably the best ever. They are the most versatile singing group arguably ever,they can sing different harmonies on their songs. Listen to this song and then listen to Ball of Confusion(acapella),then listen to Silver Bells,their harmonies are different,but its the same group. Name me another group that can do that,then name the songs.I've heard of Take 6 and Boyz II Men,they are two awesome groups,and Eddie was the best in my opinion.

[@williamb4335]

The Temptations is the best male vocal group of all time.

[@russell_poppi]

beautiful. nice work pulling the vocals out.

[@TojoTakesFlight]

phase cancellation...it can (in theory) create DIY acapellas...but they don't usually turn out very well.

[@Frdgamer]

KZbin algorithm came in clutch

[@annabercrombie768]

They didn’t need electronics to make their voices sound good. Just good natural singing.

[@natalee217]

Team Eddie;; so delicious

[@gregory88843]

Twenty three to long!. Good post!. Nice!. Best Yet!.

[@Yamcharotto]

Eddie is the best of the best. If it wasn't for the Tempt Boyz 2 Men and Take 6 wouldn't exist. *smh*

[@5mralbert]

@Tunes342 THERE WAS ONLY ONE EDDIE KENDRICKS,RESPECTFULLY SPEAKING,THERE ARE A LOT OF TENORS THAT SOUND GOOD SINGING,MY 3 FAVORITES ARE EDDIE KENDRICKS,PHILLIP BAILEY AND JOHNNIE WILDER JR.(HEATWAVE)
