- Special thanks to Paul51 for sharing this clip as well! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You're a wonderful one!!! Anyhoo, this performance was too hip for words!! What more can I say about it? Oh yea, the footage is kinda shaky and blurry at times but it's still worth watching!! Enjoy!! :-)

This is one of the greatest things ever. Just listen to that groove!! What arranging, what singing, what fusion, what Broadway, what soul, what Jewish music, what kitch, what amazing entertainment.
@DiscoNights1987 it's a shame that Motown Universal won't release all these specials on DVD
Nine minutes of Amazing Temptations.
Video may be poor but just to be able to see what we do see is a Dream Come True.
Temptations fans unite to bring this and many more tempts video to store near you.
Thanks for posting. I bought this album for $.69 in 1977 and wore out this medley.
Melvin was absolutely amazing
Eddie again at his finest. That was unique. But of course, what can you say; they ARE The Temptations!
This may be the most awesomely bizarre thing I have ever heard.
just found this album with Diana Ross and the Supremes and Temptations on Broadway for 50 cents.......so excited....love my albums !!!
This is from G.I.T. On Broadway and I believe this came out in 1969. You are also correct, the lineup is Eddie, Otis, Melvin, Paul, and Dennis. You're very welcome!
Is this on an album?
Eddie Kendricks @ 7:42 -- bringing it! The conga playing is fricking awesome(Eddie Bongo?!!!)
I remember watching this on televsion. Better times. More hopeful
The David Ruffin era and the Dennis Edwards/Psychedelic era were my favorite Temptations lineup.
I remember being glued to the television the night this came on! I liked this one better than their TCB special that had come on the year before.
You learn something new,every day.And this is a brilliant peice.Thank's Disco nights
+jeff7135 I found the album in a thrift store and love it 50 cents today......they were on broadway tv special in concert with Diana Ross and the supremes
They lipsinced the song. I was fortunate to attend one of the Reunion concerts (best I've ever seen) and David does indeed sing Paul's part on that song.
i love the album........great to see this after all these years.....they still are the greatest!
Amazing medley. Thanks for posting!
Really. They took Broadway and turned it Funky with soul. I can dig it. Can you?
LOVE IT!!!
I enjoyed this, they put a whole new modern twist ( for that erra- the funky soul) to a wonder set of music.
CLASSIC
You should be grateful we even have this! I'm sorry that it's all fuzzy and shit but I couldn't do anything about it! The person who had originally posted this vid was the one who recorded it.
Beutiful. Does anyone know where I can access a clear copy of this film????
@jonnybzzzzc
That makes two of us.
What a joy to see this again after many years
@mr2midime if i had to choose one song to be on on my ipod and couldnt pick no other tempts song this song would be at the top of my choices. One of tempts all time best.
What year was this? I can't completely make out the lineup here. Is that Eddie, Otis, Melvin, Paul and Dennis? The only ones we get real good shots of are Eddie and Melvin. Thank you so much for posting this because I had no idea it even existed.
SPEECHLESS!
Thank you. I really enjoyed viewing this. I have this album. However, it's not in good condition.
@hopediamond4real You know that video of Just My Imagination with all the Temptations reunion together? Well they don't play the real audio, it is overdubbed with the real song. I would have liked to hear it, because David Ruffin sings Paul's parts. Also any videos out at all of The Temptations reunion Tour/Concert in 1982 or no?
They weren't afraid to take chances.
DiscoNights! You gotta be my daughter! No one could Eddie more than me, but I think you have me beaten. Now here's your next challenge: We need a clip of "Keep on Trucking" from Soul Train or American Bandstand
@glynnrh
Amen to that.
Blue sung this with class and prestige
no seriously where are these clips coming from bc I really want the whole thing on DVD
First The Wiz now The Fid.
SING EDDIE!!!!!!
Temptations brought the house down when they sung pretty boy Melvin also brought the house down when he took lead on matchmaker
Sunrise/Sunset worked; that's all.
Go ahead sing Eddie
They had to be SO embarrassed... still sang their butts off (on the track).
No need to be embarrassed. This medley AND the IN A MELLOW MOOD are yet but 2 of the projects that got The Temptations into the COPACABANA NIGHT CLUB IN NEW YORK.
The Copa was where the big money was to be made.
Once you got in there, full respect was yours from OLD MONEY!!!
Why would they have been "so embarrassed?"
They prolly have to wait until Otis passes before they can release this on DVD I'm sure he's fought tooth n nail to block the release. It's wonderful singing but them doing fiddler on the roof is prolly a bit embarrassing for him.
i'm sorry about the message i loved the song sooooo much and i love me sum Eddie. ya'll all please forgive me. i jus don't want anyone thinking dat i don't love da temps cuz i do so don't get me wrong!!
This is really absurd.
i liked it but i couldn't really enjoy it cuz the whole thing was fuzzy!!! and it's a bummer 2 me cuz i was looking for dat video and i got nothing but the fuzzies!!! it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
paul was very drunk in this performance
So many people automatically assume Paul is drunk on every single video. That's only because of the Temptations mini-series that aired several years ago, and how it portrayed him. I'm not sure what you saw in this poor-quality video that makes anyone think Paul was inebriated
Bruh Mane first of all he was very very drunk in this performance. there was a better quality of this same video but it got deleted he was missing steps late on turns and leg movement he was was drunk
diva095 I'm gonna say it again...so many people automatically assume Paul is drunk on every single video. That's ONLY because of the Temptations mini-series that aired several years ago, and how it portrayed him. If nobody saw that mini-series, they wouldn't even NOTICE that Paul was missing steps. So, it really is all speculation. Nobody but the Temptations know if Paul was drunk in this clip. But our view of it is clouded by what we saw on a TV show that took several liberties with the truth
Bruh Mane i dont care what you are saying he was indeed drunk in the video i have seen the movie im not going by how he was portrayed in the movie the whole movie was a lie i have talked to some of his family members on facebook but he was very indeed drunk in this video sorry to say
Watch the Smokey Robinson show. He wasn't drunk then either.
This is the worst rendition I have ever heard!!!!
Not the worst I'ms sure I've ever heard. I was surprised to hear it though. Sunrise/sunset was really nice. Temps can do anything and do it well.
