    Eddie definitely doesn't sing like he talks. Deep as heck, when talking, but like a songbird when he's singing. Cool beans. A beautiful falsetto coming from a voice like that. David, that raspy baritone church sound; These 2 were an unstoppable force in Motown. Long live your music! Temps forever!

    Wow. David is so smart, funny, interesting, and well-spoken. It's kind of amazing to me considering the circumstances...left home as a teenager, a poor Mississippi boy, not well educated, lived a fast life, abused drugs...despite all of this he seems so sharp! And he's clearly not even 100% in this video. Yet his memory and speaking skills are outstanding. It's too bad that drugs eventually claimed him. If he were alive today, I bet he would have been a wonderful narrator. His speaking voice is a nice as his singing voice.

      @dannylopez9905 Před 8 lety +22

      Well let's not forget the reason why the rest of the temps fired him because of his selfishness thinking he deserves more royalties since he was the lead singer. Things like taking his own fancy limo to performances and wanting more attention on him,even as going as far as wanting to change the groups name to David Ruffin and The Temptations. Even with his drug abuse he would often miss rehearsals and meetings. The last straw was when he didn't show up to a performance for Dean Martins daughter. But in the end he learned his ways and will be missed.

    Eddie Kendrick and David Ruffin had voices annointed by God. I am Eddie's biggest, as he seemed like a very special man. This footage is priceless because we get to see two great friends interact. Unfortunately, the interviewers didn't seem to understand that they were in the presence of music royalty. No only were the questions redundant, they didn't have the good sense to offer these two men comfortable seats. To me, that further attests to the class of entertainers that they were. God bless Eddie and David's souls.

      ...hey people... I want y'all to google the first ever performance of their recording of..my girl...sung by Mr. Ruffin.... I want y'all to particularly notice their facial expressions..no one will smile or turn away from the group's standing while to they are singing... but what I really want everyone to Zoom in on...are their eyes, particularly Mr. Kindrick's eyes...it seems looking at my cellphone video of them, that they were in a state of some sort of trans... meaning that as I'm viewing and looking at this 1st performance of them, I feel that I'm actually witnessing the unknown, meaning to me I don't think that these young, spiritually annoited Gifted Black artists men knew exactly what they were relaying through song... but after y'all google the video the question that I want to ask answered is ...did that particular performance of our Temptations seem like a regular studio recording of..say today's musical Black artists..????....it really is a strange and bizarre witnessing to me of a group of black men whose destination was not of this earth... meaning that they were sent to tell us what we need to do to get to the other side..... like at our baby boy Michael Jackson videos when he was only 6-9 years old...he and his brothers were telling us what we need to know and do...to get to the other side.... strange and bizarre as it really is...in this Pandemic Apocalypse of 2020....

David liked to go to church on someone, given the opportunity, cause he could - big pimpin! So knowing my subject, I would have loved to take it to the top. Eddie probably would have gotten a laugh out of it! He loved when David would pose as a statue in Statue of a Fool! Said it on an interview. Made me laugh too. Ruff sung the mess out of that record though!

    To see them laughing while recounting their glory days, speaks to how special they were and still are. You can literally see them light up, with joy as they go back in time in their minds. They had a journey together that few can barely understand. They were brothers in struggle and in success. They helped create alot of good times and helped create alot of babies through their music.

No disrespect to the other members of the group, but when u think of their classic hits the lead voices on those songs are Mr. Ruffin and Mr. Kendricks.

    David is my number 1 influence, and Eddie as well. They are part of the reason I am pursuing a career in music. Thank you Mom. If it wasn't for her, I would've never have known the Temptations, or my brother. It's not common for a person born in 1988 and 1995 to like a group this old but the music just stuck with us. Mad respect to Mr. David Ruffin/The greatest singer to ever Grace a stage, and Eddie Kendricks. May they rest in peace and never be forgotten. They will live for eternity in the soul of their music. And Rest In Peace Mom!!! Elvis ain't got nuthin on David Ruffin! !

      David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks were major influences in R&B music because they had their own sound.

      Man Ruff was a bad ass and a bad ass vocalist. I was very influenced by him.
