The lead voices of the Temptations, sans Paul. All gone but forever with us in a musical spirit that will never die. David's voice defined the sound of the Classic Five, Eddie's defined the warmth of the heart, Dennis' was the psychedelic soul for the next phase, and Paul brought the energy that sanguinely choreographed every step with the smooth interplay of the notes and their unforgettably melodic lyrics. Add to that mix the high to low chordal harmonics of Otis and Melvin, and you have the greatest male vocal group to ever face a microphone. Rest in Peace my brothers. The world will long remember..."The Way You Did The Things You Did!"
I WAS AT JAMIE'S WITH EDDIE DAVID DENNIS I WAS BLESSED TO KNOW THESE GENTLEMEN PERSONALLY THEY WERE PHENOMENAL MEN WHOSE GIFT TALENTS FROM GOD BLESSED OUR SPIRITS SOULS MUCH LOVE ZEST THEY HAD FOR LIFE I HAD SO MANY GREAT TIMES WITH THEM
I Just love these three guys!! Eddie said it perfectly, They love working together, no one is threatened by the other. Even Dennis saying lots of confusion going on makes the work harder. Looks to me as they get along very well. GREAT INTERVIEW!! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS RARE GEM!!
@Linda Hines Watch the host Gino as he says Hong Kong and Japan are the same. Take note how quickly Eddie educated him that there are two different places in Asia.
Nice interview. Even better to see them with their guard down and relaxing and laughin. I never seen them like this b4. Gettin teary watchin my 3 favorite members of the Temps. RIP brothas. Your music will NEVER die.
These guys were as unique as unique can get, you know David Ruffin must be as good an actor as he is a singer because he seems to be a very pleasant man every time I have seen or heard an interview of his. Even on this video I see no signs of drug use, he will always be a special artist in my opinion, as well of course Eddie and Dennis also. However the name "Temptations" can be carried over forever, BUT there will never be another FAB FIVE -- PAUL-EDDIE-MELVIN-OTIS AND DAVID, NEVER EVER!!!!!!!!
Don't compare David Ruffin with Jesus Christ cause that's the king of kings David Ruffin was a singer not a God but jesus is our God our rock he made you and me David didn't God did. Never compare a late singer to God
It breaks my heart each time l see these trio. To even think that David only had a few months to live. They were thinking of making a record togetherness. Rest well, my brothers 😢
Wonderfully adorable is Mr Eddie Kendricks, I love that falsetto range. Well done Mr Dennis Edwards giving your audience an excerpt of what you are going to sing, bring it on . . And so happy, Mr David Ruffin, he looked so comfortable and all can see Mr David Ruffin loves to laugh. .
Man i was dreading the day to come that all three of them would be gone the tempts mighty three Eddie David and Dennis along with all the others that have pass on Paul Melvin Oille Ali Damon and Richard gone but not forgotten rip guys
David laugh is so cute, look at cornbread sittin over there looking like the boss Playa he is. Not "was". Is. & Dennis looking like a teddy bear. The interviewer asked wats David secret to singing Dennis said Grits lmfao really thow
Gritts, that was funny. Anybody who picked up on that part had to laugh, cuz Dennis & David sho'nuff thought that it was funny when they looked at each other & laughed after that statement. 1 second ago•
I'm sure Otis would beg to differ, but I bet that people flocked in bigger numbers to see David, Eddie, and Dennis perform as a trio over Otis, Melvin, and their then-current Temptations lineup(s) at that time.
I’m so glad those men QUICKLY put that interviewer in his place when he tried to mock another group of individuals ….. Much respect to ALL 3 of them for correcting the lady by also saying a woman has already performed with them….
Great upload! So, this interview is from 1991...? Well, this must be one of David's last interviews...if not the last one. R.I.P., David Ruffin, and Eddie Kendricks!
@MalcomRichardson, I wholeheartly agree with your assessment. I honestly believe alot of the stories of his drug usage was not correct. The more I see his interviews and hear his songs and concert footage. There is no way, he could have been that high. Eddie & David has alot of haters! WHO wanted to see them fail.
Yeah his brother Jimmy said that the guy he perceived to the public was not the real him. It was just a manufactured version of him to make it seem like he had it all together. Behind closed doors, David was David.
After that London show that Dennis mentioned, David volunteer to stay behind and collect their pay, because the promoters did not have it when Dennis and Eddi were leaving London.......David collected over forty thousand pounds on their behalf. And when David got off the plane in the USA. He went straight to a crack house with all that money......And there he stayed until he ended up in the hospital where he died.......None of the money that he collected for the three of them was never found
@@jeed2924 David waited in England to collect his in cash. The other two received their pay in a trusted form of currency like check. They were all paid.
Didn't seem like the interviewer took them seriously at all. And he did a lot of undercover self promotion...but it was a Detroit show so I'll give it a hometown pass... :-)
Gino is ignorant. Dennis is the boisterous Teddy Bear. David has a cool and sexy laugh akin to his singing voice. Cornbread is sensitive and gorgeous which makes him super sexy...So sad how David's life ended. He was indeed a statute of a fool - but not a fool for love, as he had written when he was 18.
If this is the same Gino Washington, his records were on the Picadilly label(one of PYE's imprints) in Britain through the 1960s, but he's a bit of an ignoramus for thinking Hong Kong is part of Japan..... this about 8 years before Britain's lease ran out and China reclaimed Hong Kong.
"...you got a smile so bright, you put it in a cander... and they wrote that tune.... Hong Kong...well that's a part of Japan ain't it?..." Sigh...he sounds so ignorant. They didn't write ANY of those tunes. Their legacy deserved better. You never hear interviewers doing that with the Beatles.
David Ruffin's laugh is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
WISH THEY WERE ALL STILL HERE.
Dennis is but sadly the other aren't except for Otis.
Excellent clip! David seemed like he was fun to be around. Eddie got so much swag it's ridiculous. Dennis seemed like cool peoples 2.
Right
Eddie is and was THE MAN!!! So Much SWAGGER!!! Dennis Reminds Me of My Big Brother Johnny King David Was "AWESOME!!!!!
@@sheilaking-davis4712 he had swag!
sad he couldn't fight his addition
All handsome
All look good
The LEGENDS, David, Eddie and Dennis. Gone too soon. 💯❤️
eddie was so adorable
This is hilarious. Love to see them laughing and having fun.

TEMPTATIONS FOREVER !!!!! NUFF SAID. I LOVE THESE GUYS FOREVER !!! AND A DAY!!
FOREVER I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN 68yrs young
These three guys really had great chemistry!!! They were a terrific trio.
I WAS AT JAMIE'S WITH EDDIE DAVID DENNIS I WAS BLESSED TO KNOW THESE GENTLEMEN PERSONALLY THEY WERE PHENOMENAL MEN WHOSE GIFT TALENTS FROM GOD BLESSED OUR SPIRITS SOULS MUCH LOVE ZEST THEY HAD FOR LIFE I HAD SO MANY GREAT TIMES WITH THEM
Funny interview. The laugh Dennis does when the reporter sings the lyrics only musicians will understand
david left us in mid 1991
eddie left us in latter part of 1992
I love and miss these guys
the love that Dennis and Eddie have for each other is real.
curiosity777 and Xavid. They were all brothers
If the TV miniseries is true....Eddie and David became good friends.
yea the end made me sad knowing dennis would lose him a year later
I Just love these three guys!! Eddie said it perfectly, They love working together, no one is threatened by the other. Even Dennis saying lots of confusion going on makes the work harder. Looks to me as they get along very well. GREAT INTERVIEW!! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS RARE GEM!!
The interview with David Eddie and Dennis was great the 3 were all talented and friends gone forever. DPitts
He damn near forgot their names... I truly wish that Paul Williams was there... Rest in Soul Heaven to every member that passed away 💯💯✌💗
Only person whose name he remembered was David that’s a shame
Even said the lyrics wrong. They started laughing at him.🤦🏾♂️Lawd.
I respect Eddie Kendricks more after he is talking about how Japanese feels.. thank you Eddie!!
Haruko T
What exactly did he say? I can’t make it out.
Eddie Kendrick is full of depth, Listen to his music..song like Each day I cry a little, Intimate friends, the sweeter you treat her
@Linda Hines The depths in truth and confidence to go there. Eddie is a treasure.
@Linda Hines Watch the host Gino as he says Hong Kong and Japan are the same. Take note how quickly Eddie educated him that there are two different places in Asia.
@Linda Hines Any child of Eddie K has to be close to 30 years old. We probably know for sure by now.
RIP DAVID RUFFIN RIP EDDIE KENDRICKS RIP DENNIS EDWARDS
GAthering of legends....great to see this
The mighty 3 showcasing they had within humor.
Never forget the Tempt love them
Nice interview. Even better to see them with their guard down and relaxing and laughin. I never seen them like this b4. Gettin teary watchin my 3 favorite members of the Temps. RIP brothas. Your music will NEVER die.
I wished this Temptations spinoff group had the time to really treat the fans with their talents.
Love the interview. Get ready for the SHOW it was great.
For sure they are the Temptations

Dennis is quite the talker. I loved the interview where he is being interviewed by Tom Meros.
Totaly Marie Didn't he mention Belle Isle?
Oh yes he's great storyteller I wished they would show it part 2
@@latteliz1944 true me too
Thank you so much for posting!! I really appreciate seeing them have fun and enjoying themselves. RIP Eddie and David!
It breaks my heart each time l see these trio. To even think that David only had a few months to live. They were thinking of making a record togetherness. Rest well, my brothers 😢

Saw them at Jamie's on 7 in Livonia Michigan in 1991. They were about two hours late, but it was a great experience.
David laugh is so cute, look at cornbread sittin over there looking like the boss Playa he is. Not "was". Is. & Dennis looking like a teddy bear. The interviewer asked wats David secret to singing Dennis said Grits lmfao really thow

The voices of the Tempts..Along with Ollie Woodson..
I'm sure Otis would beg to differ, but I bet that people flocked in bigger numbers to see David, Eddie, and Dennis perform as a trio over Otis, Melvin, and their then-current Temptations lineup(s) at that time.

Eddie and David soon left us after this interview

Sad but yes he did leave us on June 1st 1991. This interview was January 1991. Have a good life. Cora Hudson
They look happy, bless their souls, Rip dear ones 💕
Damn
@@corahudson8420 thank you for this information--i was wondering what month this interview happened--david passed away 5 months later 😩🙏🏼❤️
Itlay?
Gino is definitely not the sharpest tack in the box.

Neil Forbes Yes, its him. He eas joking.

"...you got a smile so bright, you put it in a cander... and they wrote that tune.... Hong Kong...well that's a part of Japan ain't it?..."
Sigh...he sounds so ignorant. They didn't write ANY of those tunes.
Their legacy deserved better.
You never hear interviewers doing that with the Beatles.
Get off David Ms. Kimmey. Yes every thing about David is and was cute.
Eddie was finer than David!
The best thing on David was his voice.
HE was fine back in the 60s. David had
Jungle Fever!
That interviewer! Could he be any more inappropriate or insensitive?
True, but the times were different. He would lose his job in a New Your minute in today's world.
Love it.They all got along well because they all snorted p
