    As a Black man, I am so glad to have had the privilege to live during the 1960's...the music is one of the main reasons why.

      Me too, though I’m a white mixed with a little Nigerian and other stuff. I think that the little bit of Nigerian must have put a lot of soul in me, except for the dancing part, because my favorite music is R&B and Soul as well as Elvis who learned a lot from the black community.

      As a white man I am glad I grew up in the 60's...these guys were the best, we only had two good radio stations that came in good. We had our transistor radio at the pool or park and we all loved the motown sound...great artists and groups...still listening to the good music that nobody can do or perform that way..bless them all

    I once asked David if he had tried to sound like Sam Cooke. He said, "I had to have someone to pattern after." He said he also modeled singer Jesse Belvin. I think you can hear the influence both those singers had on David, but when he came into his own, he was David all by himself!!

    I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to leave a post. The Temptations were an extraordinary group filled with talent and unlimited potential. They left an indelible mark and set high standards that will never be eclipsed. T loved their ballads then, I love their ballads now. Rest in peace gentlemen...

    I saw them in concert a few times back in the 60s...their heyday,and every time i was really impressed with David Ruffin's ability to lead a song in such a strong and forceful manner,and he did it seemingly so effortless!

    OMG, that voice! I was little in their hay day and this sound reminds me of my childhood. A lot of family members are Temptations fans. David could sing soft like this, or with a lot of soul like in "I wish it would rain". He did get a lot of recognition, but I think he should have received even more. His solo stuff didn't get enough attention and I don't know why. It was top notch!

      Robert Clopton : There were bills, worries, and sickness back then. However society were more communal and families were stronger. Everyone help everyone without a hidden agenda. This music made a great positive impact on people lives, unlike today. Take care,

Drugs, family breakdown, suicides etc. They will always be a part of my life. Their music evokes such great memories of the sixties and seventies. What more can I say. David, Eddie, Paul, Otis and Melvin. Never be forgotten guys, believe me!!!!!!
