man.. the actors did such a good job embodying the essence of every temptation.. and I know David Ruffin was supposed to be a villain, but the Temptations were the best when he was the lead.. He was the truth!!
It was that belief that killed David Ruffin. I do not live in the land of professional entertainment, but his downfall was the same as so many others we have seen over the years. Example: As a teen, I swore I was going to marry Andy Gibb someday. We all know what happened to him. If you go back and listen to Barry Gibb, he had been given a very stern and necessary lecture. It is so easy to fall into "the girls love me", "I am a star", "I am on top of the world", "I own this." Barry Gibb attributed his avoidance of these traps to people who warned him. David Ruffin was not just some guy who liked coke instead of focusing on continuing his fame. It was tragic, should not have happened, he had the world in front of him and unlimited tickets to success. But the trap got him. Anyone who deals with budding stars is irresponsible if he/she does not sit this person down and say, "You are great. You are fantastic. The world is your oyster. BUT DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN THE TRAP."
@@tf2432277Grammy and Emmy is wrong. Emmy pertains to day time tv and talk show. He should have won an Oscar for this movie performance. You win Oscas for movies.
2:35 nobody talks about how David jacked the microphone from Paul before he was about to start singing the next song🥶 Paul had to play it off and be professional.
I agree it was a great movie..true story I heard..I don't know what they were doing in there private life😮💨😤but when it was time to put on a show they put on a great show..the music the cool moves hey wen it was music time they all knew it was music first..no matter what 💋
I would been like Eddie, we need David lol. I blame Berry Gordy. Ain’t no way an Owner/CEO today letting their star get out of control and mess up the group and the money. From what I’ve seen, he never intervened but let the group handle it. He wouldn’t been kicked out the group if I was Berry. I would’ve gotten him in rehab.
@@terrancerobinson20it's amazing David Ruffin was strung out on cocaine 🧃 ☁️ but he could still sing dance and MAINTAIN his body movement with the exception of Eddie Fired him on spot Paul Williams becomes a drunk 🍷 🍺🍻 a deadbeat neglecting his family keep missing up onstage but they got him help and kept him in the group to me thats very one-sided and David got a raw deal based on double standard if thats the case David should have been re hired his drugs never made him fall apart onstage like Paul if they got him help they should have done it for David Ruffin it was very hypocrital against david
This was my favorite movie when it came out. I used to know it word for word, and that's both parts lol. I still know about 80% of it by heart outside of the songs, which I know every single word of each one of course and that's the entire song, not just what's featured in the movie if it's not played in its entirety. But this part...LEON DID THAT!!! Hands down that walk out of the crowd to the stage was the best part of the movie for me!!! 10 outta 10, top 3 movies of all time in my opinion.
1. "Losing You" is the best dance performance of this movie. 2. I applaud the boys composure when David walked in. 3. The Temptations never got into a fight on stage. 4. This is an amazing movie!!
Paul wanted to mess David up when he introduced them lmfao 😂😂😂😂❤ that look was priceless ,like this joint really shaking right now ?😂😂😂❤❤ they killed it 🥰
Wow, the Temptations Actors did a great job playing one of the biggest Motown Groups in America and the world Temptations with David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin.
No one ever points out how Eddie was smiling when David did his thing lol. They were cool after the group in real life. Eddie just wanted the bread and to create great music
@missam3404 but I was just watching Leon interview he said he said that himself David never said that and the actor of Otis got mad and said I don’t like him saying that to me and Leon said that’s what he’s suppose to be mad right
Can't NOBODY AND I DO MEAN NOBODY CAN BODY THIS SONG LIKE HIM 🙌👏👏I was happy when he grabbed the mic if he didn't it wouldn't have been as good as it is with his voice
@goldenlady1213 will do,it's so sad I had recorded a Christmas house party they had and we was singing carols,it was really good. HIs mom was there too she was the one singing in "Hoodlum" at Illinois' funeral,so ironic,because thats where were from,Chicago. Because I wasn't that tech savy,tried to send it to him so he could send it to the rest of the family but I couldn't, it said file was to large. Might have lost footage because this was many phones ago unless it's still in my cloud. Having same problem with new footage I took,but guy is tech savvy at the job maybe he can help me
It won an Emmy 🎉award and also an NAACP award for outstanding television, movie, or mini-series. Should have won an Oscar for the tv movie and for their outstanding performances. ❤
