    As one of the kids who hung out in front of Motown as a teen. It was just plain magical to be there. The love was given to everyone. Even me. Privileged to be next to Russ Terrana in the sound booth when Tammi Terrell sang, ain't no mountain high enough, in first take. Tammi made me her good luck person. When Tammi wasn't there. Martha Reeves was my Motown mom. Had to earn my keep. Also they drove me home. I cleaned the building, polished brass, did windows in and out. But Motown is my home. Everyone there my family.
    Was getting ready to get offensive. But you had done a great synopsis of the song.

    The Motown Sound is so distinct! The soul music made a huge jump into mainstream radio play because of it. And this is probably one of the best examples to react to because of it's smooth soul sound and use of voice and instrumental arrangements. Thank you Maggie for the reaction, and Mike for the suggestion.

And there simply was not very much processing available. A 4 track recorder was a big deal. Not until the Beatles and the Stones did that sort of thing start to come along. And even Sgt. Pepper was done on 4 tracks.

    Ah, the music of my youth! Thanks Maggie for reacting to this old school music. Brings back some very, very old memories. No easy access to music in those days. You either heard it on the radio or TV or bought the record or album. Totally different world in many ways. Too bad some people are trying to drag the country back to the worst parts of back then. I lived through it, it was awful. The discrimination, the censorship to mention a few things I don't need to relive. I'm too old to go back out on the protest walks. We got some things changed and reverting back to it would be a crime IMO. Sorry for the soap boxing. Old music brings up old habits.

    This as you see is a film of The Temptations recording the song. In background when David Ruffin says "I've got sunshine", you can see the writer, Smokey Robinson over David's right shoulder. Now that you've finally gotten to listen to a little Motown, how about reacting to Smokey Robinson and The Miracles doing their live and in black and white version of their "Ooh Baby Baby", from around 1965. There you get to really see how Smokey performed with that incredible voice, which is one of the prettiest in the history of R&B/R&R, while both engaging the audience and interpreting his great lyrics.

  • @therlowfoy9738

    This aggregation of Temptations is considered the "Classic 5" with David Ruffin singing lead (his first one with the group). The Temptations are also known for the fact that every single one sings lead, not just David. I would recommend " You're My Everything" that features Eddie Kendricks, the first tenor with David singing a short verse and "Just Another Lonely Night", that features their stellar baritone, Paul Williams, "Old Man River" which features the basso profundo Melvin Franklin and, finally, "Don't Send Me Away", lead by Otis Williams, second tenor and the sole remaining original founding member of the Temptations. The Temptations were the very first Motown group to win a Grammy for "Cloud Nine", have been showcased in a television series based on Otis Williams autobiography "The Temptations" are still being presented throughout the world in the form of an Emmy-Award winning Broadway Musical called " Ain't Too Proud" and in 2024, the Temptations, with Otis Williams, are still touring and selling out venues all over the world!

  • @alonzocoyethea6148

    It's how Motown did it from 59 to around 67 .... 4 mikes, placed strategically, and just get a good stereo mix--the musicians / singers would do the rest, and it was a great clean, "Live" sound that even made the records jump more.( When the 8-track recorders came out tin '68, The label went psychedelic, and the Tempts got even bigger with that sound) Weird how today's music, with a gazillion dollars of production gear, can't get results like that.

    A gorgeous song, so well done by one of the greatest of all the vocal groups.
    Noting your comment, Maggie, about wishing it were longer, that's exactly the point. It hearkens back to the old vaudeville adage to always leave your audience wanting more. Songs were shorter for radio play restrictions but also to feel like they ended too soon. It made the audience want to hear it again. Most modern songs aren't really any longer, lyrically. They're just padded out with an appalling amount of repetition that, by the end of the song, you've heard enough. A two minute song that outstays its welcome for another three or four minutes.
    Songs from this era got to the point, added some instrumental moments and got off the stage. We just wanted to hear it again.

You should hear them sing their other greatest hit called "AIN'T TOO PROUD TO BEG". It's more up tempo and blows your mind hearing it sung by their lead singer DAVID RUFFIN. He killed it on that song. It'll make you want to sing along and shout and move your feet every time. Check it out when you get a chance you wont be disappointed.

    That's James Jamerson and Robert White on bass and guitar.
    We cannot forget Benny Benjamin on drums.
    The Funk Brothers have no equal.

    David Ruffin is one of a kind and one of the top five frontmen as far as I'm concerned because "No one comes to see you Otis" - David Ruffin.

      ive forgotten more about Motown but specifically the Temptations than most people will ever know lol. i highly suggest watching the movie about them. Leon (the black man in Madonna's like a Prayer) absolutely is the closest we could ever get to having another David Ruffin.

    You missed mentioning the fact that the musicians are the Funk Brothers. The reason for the sound of Motown.

    Motown was a hit factory who promoted primarily singers and vocal groups. The music for these vocal groups was provided by a group of a dozen or so musicians who were basically the studio band. When Barry Gordy started the label, he sent his people out to look for the best jazz and blues musicians they could find. Once found, they were signed to what were supposed to be what Gordy considered to be exclusive contracts with Motown.They referred to themselves as the Funk Brothers and played on more #1 hits than Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, and the Beatles COMBINED! There's a documentary about them and their adventures titled "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown" that is well worth a couple hours of your time to watch.

    Great reaction to a great song.
    Others you might want to check out are “Duke of Earl” by Gene Chandler and “In the Still of the Night” by the Five Satins. Chandler sounds more like Motown than the Five Satins - his vocal control is astounding.
    The Five Satins were a Do Wop group, so it’s different than the Motown Sounds, but the lead singer, Fred Paris, has an amazing voice. Enjoy!

    I was born in the 50s raised in the 60s and partied in the 70s. We had the best music and the fastest car ever.

    That spin near the end reminded me of Michael Jackson, who I bet learned his earliest moves from watching groups like this.

    if you notice at about 7:52 the man with the headphones standing behind David Ruffin the lead singer I believe is the Great Smoky Robinson, the writer of this classic song

    My favorite group of all time The temptations I asked people all the time if you were stuck on an island or a deserted planet and you get to listen to one song and one song only for the rest of the eternity. What will it be? I tell them it would be The Temptations my girl. BIG FACTS 💯 ✌🏼 What yours?
