David Ruffin & Eddie Kendricks singing My Girl, This DVD is called Dancin' in the Street. It was re- released in January 2008. It was originally recored as a concert in 1987
The best concerts I ever saw The Temptations and The Four Tops. I was 13yrs old. I haven't ever forgotten the biggest band instruments I had ever seen for both groups. 😍
Wow ! ! David Ruffin best male singer ever! Loved ALL the temptations especially Eddie Kenricks too such a beautiful elegant falsetto BUT David Ruffin undefeated as the best of the best. He died just one year before Eddieand because Eddie died of ‘natural causes’ lung cancer due to a lifelong smoking habit and David from a crack overdose there is less sympathy and loss expressed for David. This is wrong. They both died from being human but what marks them out surely is the joy and wonder they gave to us all.i have loved the temps since I was 14 years old when I bought their greatest hits as my very first album and I am 64 now. Let us just be sad that we lost them but oh so glad that we had them. I feel privileged to have been born in the Motown era and able to love the ‘temps’ till my dying day!
No matter what David went through on his life, his voice was so amazing with any song he sung. Rest In Peace David Ruffin you were definitely a powerhouse. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙💙
It seems,sadly, that we never fully appreciate the very best of us until after they're gone. There will never be another like David Ruffin. He was THE VOICE of a very different time, and from a place we can never return to, no matter how much we'd all love to. Rest in peace David. 🌠
THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST MUSIC VIDEOS...WITH TWO OF THE GREATEST SINGERS & PERFORMERS EVER..LOVE DAVID & EDDIE...WISH THEY HAD BEEN AROUND LONGER!!!
OMG I broke down in tears and got chills. For me these wonderful gentlemen were the greatest soul singers and group ever. I loved them back in their heyday of the 60s when Motown provided the soundtrack to my life and I still love them today because hardly anyone has come along yet that can sing anything that comes close to them.
There'll never be a group of singers as great as The Temptations crossed all barriers I believe they were the greatest singers of all time, the original five Otis, Paul, Eddie, Melvin and David but love them all they are legends music will never be the same without them
I agree their will never be another David Ruffin or Eddie Kendricks. They were the greatest and come along only once in a life time And I m grateful that it was during my lifetime.
I'm so hooked on David and his voice can't stop listening. So here again today watching my mix. Grew up with the Temps. I'm 66 yrs old now and I still tear up when I think of the Temps gone. Love forever.
I am 69 and feel the same way. I fell in love with David Ruffin (and the Tempts) when I was 14 years old lol! Been loving The Temptations (all era's) ever since. Love The Temptations Forever (then and now)❤️
David had total command of his voice,could sing in alto, tenor,1st tenor and an incredible,incomparable falsetto.what a great voice and stage presence,once in a lifetime!
Brought tears to my eyes and gave me chills. I will forever love David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks. Love their voices and their moves. RIP Gentlemen you will never be forgotten 💖💞
I saw David and the Temps at the Starlight Theater in Kansas City during their Reunion Tour in 1982. I had front row seats and he offered me the mic to sing along with him and to this day it's the highlight of my life! RIP! You are The Greatest Of All Time!
This is my favorite David Ruffin video. His voice will last through all eternity as one of the richest most beautiful singing 🎤 voices that ever performed in front of a microphone. ♥️♥️♥️Love you Mr. David Ruffin. RIP
David RUFFIN WAS THE BOMB !! EPIC & AN AMAZING ARTIST WITH THE POWER OF SOUL & INSPIRATION..NOONE LIKE DAVID, He had no problem singing THIS MAGNIFICENT SOUL, LIKE ONLY DAVID COULD....AMEN
@@corrynthiaiam9205 ..WELL DESERVED, DESPITE the PROBLEMS that plagued his LIFE,FACT IS DAVID RUFFIN is a LEGEND, CONSIDERED BY MANY at his PEAK to be the BEST LEAD SINGER of OUR TIME...
TheTemptations is one of the greatest vocal groups ever. Every last person in the group past and present could sing there ass off! 40 plus years of greatness!
These two legends right here, gone too soon! There will never, ever be another David Ruffin! Love you David. You were "always" my favorite temptation. When I was a teenager, I had a picture of David above my bed lol! Still listen to your music, even today. Rest in Love David and Eddie ❤️♫
No matter how good a black artist is, some blockhead will always bring up their addictions. From Billie Holiday to David Ruffin! Rest in Peace Mr Ruffin and Mr Eddie Kendricks🌹🌹♥️‼️
A GOD BLESSED GROUP FOR SURE!!! NO WONDER MY MOM & DAD WENT TO SEE THEM ON MIAMI BEACH EVERY TIME THEY CAME!!!! I WENT ONCE -BUT DIDN’T RECOGNIZE THE TRUE MAGNITUDE OF THESE FINE GENTLEMEN-“REAL” GENTLEMAN!!!!!!!!!WOW!!!! WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!!WOW!!!!! EXHALE LADIES!!!!!!
Love me some David Ruffin and the Temptations, it brings back memories of living in Harlem back in the 60's with my dear mother playing those 33's and 45's.
David has an amazing voice, love the dance routine..David wore his glasses well that was his stamp. My girl talking bout my girl, this is one group I never got to see.😢
I love the Temptations! All of them was so special to me! I was a teenager when I first heard them sing, and I had a huge crush on Eddie and David! I am old now, they're gone and I miss them so much!
David solo albums is the shit been listening to Mr Ruffin at 13 years old still bumping at 53. years old everyday no male singer can fuck with David Ruffin hands down
We were so lucky to grow up with the greats from the 60's and 70's ..the Temps were the soul of a generation to never see again....❤❤ Please young people take this in ....❤
Wow what a treat for the audience to hear the Ruff sing and tell them a story at the same time. His speaking voice is as good as his singing one. What a singer What a showman What a legend
Such a lost for this wonderful soul singer .David Ruffin thank u for the music u have given us never forgotten a true fan also to Eddie 2 great voices at rest . God bless you both. Now singing with the Angel's.R.I.P Hirena fan always.
Mary Williams he did not lose his voice it might not sound the same as 23 years ago but who does and it had more so to do with ciggs than drugs. It’s scientifically proven that cigarettes do more harm to your voice than any other drug look at what happened to Kendrick voice and he didn’t so drugs so yeah and his voice sounds waaaayyy better than others of his time and I think continuing to sing really halted the effects of drugs on his voice because I’ve noticed that when singers who use drugs take a break for a couple years their voice sounds worse than those who use drugs but keep singing. Practice preserves the voice>drugs effecting the voice if that makes any sense because it sounds confusing to me and I wrote
Not forgetting Paul Williams RIP all those great talents that were The Temptations, still listening in 2024

If you can't feel David Ruffin, you're probably not living. I think he's best group lead singer ever.
Well Dennis Edwards was better.
@@googlemyself4091 I don't believe you believe that. Dennis himself didn't believe that. C'mon man, get real. This is not worth a discussion.
Unfortunately, he thought so too.
@@googlemyself4091 Hey GM, I'd say they were on equal ground!
Got to agree with you here, my friend.
