I Believe we all still wish they were alive. I wish my parents and other relatives were still here with us. Don't. forget we have hope in the Resurrection.
Watching the three of them during "Get Ready", I noticed one thing very quickly; David has every move memorized from a song they performed live at least 30 years earlier. Professional!
This group were beginning to be a factor to contend with especially at this time. Temptations: David, Eddie, Dennis and Josie, Nate and David S, were really on the TOP of the WORLD. Lord why couldn't it have lasted? Just a few years longer.
Ruff, E.K. and Dennis. They could have very well formed their own group, and rivaled anything Otis put together after their departure. Which also would have far surpassed their solo careers and perhaps led to greater longevity. Guess it wasn't to be. The magic of the Classic Five, and the after years with Dennis were some great eras in the history of the Temptations. They will never be duplicated. Rest in Peace my brothers! 🎤👓👞🎤👞🎤👞
If I had been fortunate enough to have been there on the front row!! Security would have had to pry me off the stage. Just to see them in person. Put David, Eddie, Dennis and Paul together. 💯❤️
Sorry Paul had demise in 1971. David Seay, Josie Short, Nate Evans did a fantastic job. Any time anyone can perform with Eddie Kendrick, Dennis Edward and David Ruffin they have to be great. Eddie and Dennis were excellent and David was just phenomenally awesome. Spin around, jump down on his knees, flip right back up and stay on key WOW!!!! 😆. Love them: Cora Guice
It was just great to see Eddie David and Dennis perform and have so much fun entertaining together WoW those were the great days of stars mingling and having a good time doing their craft its unfortunate but things have changed may those 3 giants rest in peace knowing they made a difference in many people lives.

What’s in a memory? All good thoughts when you were young child and on Saturday you were watching American Bandstand.. And you wasn’t the only one pro around the country were also watching when the Dick Clark introduced the Temptations .. We were gathered around the living room with your brothers and sisters.. I was the youngest one taking it all in beaming with pride.. As our people appeared on the television we were all proud.. We thought when you on the screen you were bigger than life.. Just wish I could go back for minute to glimpse of what was the beginning of 60 years of music.. We lived through some turbulent times and the music brought us through.. Of course can’t forget Ed Sullivan show and all the acts that appeared on there like the Supremes, the Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and many more.. Yes we lived the times in hopes of a better tomorrow as these groups helped us cope with problems of life.. Thank God for music..LB May 2022
I really miss my boys Eddie, David, so very much! I dont listen to the radio at all cause I cant control what might come over the airwaves and I guess its their time now, yet I can tell you this , my Mother loved my music better than she cared for her own and I didnt have to be afraid that someone might offend her by swearing filthy unnecessarily to make no point at all, just cold being disrespectful to the listener over maybe 30 yrs of age! I remember WLIB in the morning with Eddie Ojay, and then in 72 WBLS with Frankie Crocker, man, in stereo!! Listen , you talk about something sounding good! The Manhattans had come out with" There's No Me Without You" and that song was so pure and sweet, and then the Spinners took over with "One of a Kind" and that was it! Rap came into the game about then with the Sugar Hill Gang as I remember but that was a different format, but I miss my groups and MOTOWN, STAX, CHESS, PHILLY INTERNATIONAL, and I wish I had the bank , cause I saw some young dudes out there doing it on Y.T and someone should be developing those young dudes to carry on the sound cause its not dead, just waiting to be asked for and then..............BAM !!!!
So brilliant of them to get together as the leads of The Temptations and do shows. It's sad the group had all the falling outs, but this move really was a brilliant one. Sadly it wasn't to be for long. These 3 could sing their hearts out. Paul had such soul too. I wish we could have heard more from him. He had such a beautiful, soulful voice 😍
Seeing them working their magic but also able to relax and have some fun because they were in a more intimate setting to be able to tune up for a larger stage is absolutely amazing. This is probably my favorite thing Temptations I've ever seen. Thank you very much for the upload. 💜💜
As the announcer said in Las Vegas. Gone girl with your bad self. HA HA. Eddie, David, Dennis, Nate, and David were so phenomenally fantastic. I'm sorry I miss this event.
This is SO AWESOME to see!!! Never knew David and Dennis sang on stage together since it was Dennis who replaced David!!! LIVE, RAW, TRUE! This was EPIC!!! @oodie120...THANK YOU!
Wow wow that was some good partying going on singing and musical. I know all things including life comes to a end but oh how I wish the Temptations were still with us their days were the good old days Dennis is especially missed he meant so much to me. Rest In Peace sweetie. DP
I really love this show in Detroit. Who choreograph the routine for Papa Was A Rolling Stone. Ms.Short you are so...well did you enjoy singing with those gentlemen I bet you did. Nedra, Kimberly and Cheryl did you all enjoy your father. I bet you did.
Thanks for the video.... I love these three Kat's... Rest in Soul Heaven.. Mr. Eddie Kendrick's... Sir Dennis Edwards and King 👑 David Ruffin Sr.. You're all deeply missed 💗💗💗
Who choreograph this, you David or Eddie? Whoever put this together it is so unique. I love to see you all perform this act. However, all of the show was fantastic. CORA GUICE.
Alright now!!! What a Golden moment for you!!! Thank you for sharing! Cleveland may not win many games, but we know we are the Party Capital of the World!!! LOL! That's my home!
I think My girl was the best performance. The way David took the Mic singing, dancing, showmanship and The way controled the show, it's like he commanded attention just something about it.
Money will make some people swallow their pride real quick. But it is shocking that these two would end up on stage together. (BTW..Don't believe everything in that "Temptations" movie either...a lot of it was not totally accurate).
I don't care I love this perform it was good to see Eddie David and Dennis all together.💎💎💎 They will be missed forever and never but they will live on through their music.
Wear them Cadillac JumpSuits Y'all. Uhmmmmm Uhm look so good in them all of you all are Tempting. Its amazing to look great and sound even better. How many groups could pull this feat off? One, these Temptations, the real VOICES. Ms. Short love your outfit also. We can all sing MY GIRL David? Yes we can. Love and RIP. Cora Hudson Guice
Hmmm?? When David & Eddie performed together, and when David, Eddie, & Dennis performed together, they always finished with "I'm Losing You". On this night, David came out and started that "encore" finish, but no one came out with him. He left the stage, and the band kept playing, looking off to the right as if they were waiting for them to come back. I found it odd that they didn't finish. oodie120, as the uploader, do you know what might have happened? Thanks for this upload, btw. It's a diamond!
I feel ya! I am blessed to have been a Teenager during that era so I know how Hollywood does things to real-life situations and events. Hey...Tony and oodie120, What you know about the Club Kabana in Cleveland??? Lol! Yep, I'm a Dawg Pound Pfan!!!

Interesting.....91' is when Eddie had one of his lungs removed, and even if he hadnt has his lung removed at this point he was still battling cancer.......What an entertainer he didn't miss a beat!! LOVE ME SOME EDDIE 😍😍😍😍
@Linda Hines yes ma'am!! I'd read that during his last shows with Hall & Oates he would go off stage in between songs and get on the oxygen machine. My mother was a die hard Temptations fan, the 26th of this month would have been her 58th bday. So I'm traveling to Alabama to visit Eddie's grave site and the memorial Park for him. I'm taking her urn with me. So so excited although it's bitter sweet.
If only people could get back to music and the love for your family man whereas things R about people and not material bullcrap there would be less killings instead there would be fellowship unity and c
Both the video and the sound system are terrible. That aside, Dennis had put on a lot of weight by then. He used to be such a handsome guy that recorded a song with the Siedah Garrett who wrote Man in the Mirror, made widely known by Michael Jackson. Jackson really sang it far, far better than Garrett ever could and that is because he sang it from the heart. The saying, 'When it rains, it pours' can sometimes be clearly seen as with the Kennedy family. Well, the Temptations were one such example. The members not just died off one by one but closely and all so young. The founder is the one who has outlived all originals and newcomers. It is such a strange phenomenon with that group that speaks only sadness. Some very handsome guys were added after the 4 originals and dropped off like flies.
What a difference between what you hear and what I did. This was pure magic. Dennis Edwards was lit- the extra weight looks good on him. And honey, David Ruffin was ALWAYS fly. This performance was fire.
I Believe we all still wish they were alive. I wish my parents and other relatives were still here with us. Don't. forget we have hope in the Resurrection.
Amen

Wat a concert...Eddie and David is in my top ten favorite Male singers of all time...no cap
WOW 😮 DAVID RUFF NEVER LOST ANYTHING, when he goes down on both knees has me screaming. These 3 were amazing!!
His body may have taken a toll....but he NEVER lost his singing voice.

Boys ? O.K. I know you surely meant to say MR. BOY (S)! These are/were GENTLEMEN. CORA HUDSON GUICE
Beautiful Eddie was already sick ! Loved his voice!!
Even when his voice became noticeably weak fans still flocked to see him. He was adored.
David Ruffin passed away a year before Eddie Kendricks ...
@@judysawyer6953 I'll take the lite version of Eddie Kendricks over just about anyone else to ever pick up a microphone.
So brilliant of them to get together as the leads of The Temptations and do shows. It's sad the group had all the falling outs, but this move really was a brilliant one. Sadly it wasn't to be for long. These 3 could sing their hearts out. Paul had such soul too. I wish we could have heard more from him. He had such a beautiful, soulful voice 😍
That band was on it....these guys were so good. Nice to see this...a temptation fan for life
Oooh shit ruffin dif the splitz on em.
Eddie doing the bass and the falsetto parts for My Girl.
Nate Evans was doing the bass, not Eddie Kendricks.
Truthfully, speaking David Ruffin missed being in a group format.
Believe it or not he was always for a group format. He just wanted it to be "David and The Temptations " since Diana was given that title.
I wish David and Eddie were still alive.
I know me too
Yes I do too. I wish I could of met them.
Dennis as well rest in peace all 3

Another great upload, this had to be circa 1990. Ruffin is iconic.
hello everyone, thanks for your comments. this recording was old and the tape split in my VCR as I was dubbing, so I uploaded what was dubbed!
oodie120 : Thank you for sharing. I loved it.
Thank u! That band was too loud!
Seeing them working their magic but also able to relax and have some fun because they were in a more intimate setting to be able to tune up for a larger stage is absolutely amazing. This is probably my favorite thing Temptations I've ever seen. Thank you very much for the upload. 💜💜
Imagine if Paul Williams was there with them
Because wasn't nobody coming to see Otis? 🤣🤣
Would like it if Melvin was there. I like the BASS.
And Ollie!!!
@@skepchica ...Stop!

As the announcer said in Las Vegas. Gone girl with your bad self. HA HA. Eddie, David, Dennis, Nate, and David were so phenomenally fantastic. I'm sorry I miss this event.
I 👍 agree
True legends
Brings back the greatest memories. These guys were the best.
This is SO AWESOME to see!!! Never knew David and Dennis sang on stage together since it was Dennis who replaced David!!! LIVE, RAW, TRUE! This was EPIC!!! @oodie120...THANK YOU!

Wow! David looked great, especially when he did that split. He still had it :D
Nat Gonzalez : Yes! David was the MAN! 💯❤️
As an x dancer they really had the moves. Awesome
Had david and Eddie not died they would have surpassed the original temptations
John Disbro I agree with you. They were the Temptations. Cora Guice
In Europe the three of them were bigger and the rest of the world they were getting paid hundreds of thousands for each tour they did over seas
Such a terrible ending to their careers.
These Three great legend are the voices of the temptations
I really love this show in Detroit. Who choreograph the routine for Papa Was A Rolling Stone. Ms.Short you are so...well did you enjoy singing with those gentlemen I bet you did. Nedra, Kimberly and Cheryl did you all enjoy your father. I bet you did.
Oh man, I would have loved to see that I'm Losing You performance but seeing this video is a blessing enough
Have never seen this footage and I look all the time for new footage of these 3.. thanks for uploading
Thanks for the video.... I love these three Kat's... Rest in Soul Heaven.. Mr. Eddie Kendrick's... Sir Dennis Edwards and King 👑 David Ruffin Sr.. You're all deeply missed 💗💗💗
This is too cute! Do it Temptations. Alright Ruffin turn around. 😆 Cora Guice
I wish they had told this band to cool it!
Omg how detroit i was born and raised and 62 temps are my life
@Wonder Awhile (Classic TV2150) It was Paul Williams who sung lead on Don't Look Back.
Yes he sure did, Paul Williams, sang lead on Don't Look Back. CORA GUICE
Who choreograph this, you David or Eddie? Whoever put this together it is so unique. I love to see you all perform this act. However, all of the show was fantastic. CORA GUICE.

With just these three, you have the focus of the Temps.
I think My girl was the best performance. The way David took the Mic singing, dancing, showmanship and The way controled the show, it's like he commanded attention just something about it.

David had that thing
David was magic.

Money will make some people swallow their pride real quick. But it is shocking that these two would end up on stage together. (BTW..Don't believe everything in that "Temptations" movie either...a lot of it was not totally accurate).
Yes you are right.
That movie was based on Otis's truth. Eddie once said he would like to tell his side (only if he could tell the whole truth)
Dennis and David were BFF's ,David recommended Dennis as lead.
Yes that's right
@Allen Wilson And your point is ?
Interesting to hear Eddie singing “Papa Was…” since that wasn’t him on the record. You can’t duplicate that thing he does. He’s unique
The minute hear those little curly q's you know exactly who's singing. Eddie was something really special.
The person's name who sing and don't look back is Nate Evans
He's was Eddie's replacement who sounded like Eddie when he sung?
I don't care I love this perform it was good to see Eddie David and Dennis all together.💎💎💎 They will be missed forever and never but they will live on through their music.

Tony why does this shock you, they were friends.... Take a listen to my audio of Eddie, Paul and David, live at the Club Kabana in Cleveland.
Good stuff
3 of the greatest ever!
Thank you for this half. I just watched the first part and was freaking out that the rest wasn't here. THANKS SO MUCH!!
Wonder Awhile: Sweetheart its here. The introduction of them and Eddie, Dennis, David doing their solo acts. Cora Guice
Does anybody know who is singing lead on Don't Look Back? Took me back to Paul when he was a young man. Please post his name if you know it. Thanks.
Nate Evans was singing Don't Look Back
LOL! I'm the unofficial Queen of the "Dawg Pound" and I was at that Club Kabana show, WOOF, WOOF, GO BROWNS!!!"
No Eddie is not doing the BASS on My Girl. Nate Evans is on BASS and doing a fantastic job.
Why wasn't Nate Evans ever a Temptations
Who is the singer singing Don't Look Back?

Why is the footage so poor?
I can’t hear them on here
Dennis leave dem pies alone
I love a man with some meat on his bones, you prefer your men skinny?
Did David just do a James Brown move?
Naw baby that’s Ruffin move all the way since before he joined the tempts. That’s one of the reasons they wanted him

Look like a great show, but the band was too loud!
Linda Hines I think they mean the band almost drowned out the singers in their opinion
I THINK SOMEONE FORGOT TO ADD, OTTIS WILLIAMS. THAT'S OTTIS MAN.
Aint nobody coming to see Otis!!
So why they really sound good what I don't understand is why are they singing the songs of and doing the dances of the temptations? Just curious 🤔
Huh? That's Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin and Dennis Edwards. The LEADERS of The Temptations.
@bronzebeautybrown3949 Yes I know. I only asked because the original is 5 not 3
@aleshapittman7889 ok I see. And yes the original is 5, they always had 5 members but not all were lead singers.
Too noisy
Both the video and the sound system are terrible.
That aside, Dennis had put on a lot of weight by then. He used to be such a handsome guy that recorded a song with the Siedah Garrett who wrote Man in the Mirror, made widely known by Michael Jackson.
