Temptations - "Ain't too proud to beg" REACTION 

Ain't no new school without the old school. 👍🏼

Damn straight!

YES SIR!!!!!!

I miss the oldies from the 50s thru the 80s. Motown, old soul, Elvis, Chuck Berry. Lyics that make sense and tunes that stick with ya.

AMEN....

After watching their biopic, you realize there was a lot of heartache and tragedy in that group.

All great suggestions.

@@kbusby4824 Yes! Ball of Confusion. I want to see them react to that especially when you see how relevant it is to our times now so much later than when the song came out.

The BEST TIME EVER to be teenager...graduated 72...loved those years

Agreed!👍😉💞

Amen brother

I was 14 years old when this came out. 69 year old white grandma now. Best music.

Ya ain't no blood

Ya ain't a blood

Preach!

Agreed!!! Something joyful to look forward to.

Straight into 2021.

right with ya

Absolutely

Can’t forget about the Four Tops 😎

Dang Janis! I’m here watching the video not even reading the comments and the first song that came to my mind was also ball of confusion I was about to write it on the comments when I see yours it’s amazing how that song still has relevancy today from how far back it came out thanks for suggesting that.

So so much incredible Motown music.

Papa Was A Rolling Stone, Superstar, Shakey Ground, Cloud Nine, I Wish It Would Rain

I didn't know that.

Another member killed himself....money and fame can not buy happiness....such a sad story of this great group.

Thanks for this info, didn't know that. Learn something new everyday. ☺

No David was not THE lead singer of the group.It depends on the song.He was just not the LEAD singer of the temptation

@@xtreskiiii He actually was. Google or do a search for Lead Singer of The Temptations.

The Motown sound is timeless. Nobody can touch it today ❤❤❤❤

@@salliemoore5472 Yea that's a sound that is gone and not coming back.

Sound of Philadephia just as good as motown 🙂

@@thelasthourgetready you said it!

Can't bring that magic back I'm sorry to say!!!!

It just does NOT get any better than Just My Imagination!

An incredibly beautiful song!

My favorite song

Love love....Just My Imagination.

Theeee top Motown group!

Was the lead singer David Ruffin?

@@anneu53714 I think that might be his cousin Jimmy 🤔🤔🤔

@@anneu53714 Yes David Ruffin was one of the lead singers in the Temptations.

@@anneu53714 that was David Ruffin singing here :)

@@salliemoore5472: Jimmy Ruffin was a solo artist but he didn’t sing in The Temptations.

It's always a joy watching you two let good music do things to you. Getting it is such a blessing! Watching you get it is too. Thanks & praises ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5xVwQNZx2jU.html

My favorite, Papa Was A Rolling Stone. Hope you get to this one. Lyrics are bada**

He's 80 yrs old!

The story behind that song makes it so much more moving and sad

I haven’t heard the story

I love that one too. What about My Whole World Ended by David Ruffin? One of the best!

@@JCourts2k23 So the story is this. In 1967, a young man named Rodger Penzabene wrote “You’re My Everything” for The Temptations. He wrote it for his wife, who was his high school sweetheart. Later in the fall of 1967, Rodger found out his wife was cheating on him. He begged her to stay with him, and they tried to work it out, but she kept sleeping with another man. She then asked for a divorce. This broke Rodgers heart, and from that he wrote two hits for the Temptations, I Wish It Would Rain, and I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You), which was the last hit song by The Temptations sung by David Ruffin before he was fired for Dennis Edwards. Both those songs are about his wife leaving him for another man and his broken heart from it all. A week after I Wish It Would Rain was released as a single, on New Years Eve 1967/1968, Rodger Penzabene committed suicide at age 23 due to the divorce. It makes you really see and feel the pain he had in his souls when you read the lyrics with this in mind.

That was written about the death of Martin Luther King. Great song.

On Broadway is his best!

His jazz cuts.

Saw George in concert in LA in 1974❣

@@rebeccastern7953 I saw him in New Caledonia (I don't remember the year) and it was a great concert!

ADD "When She Was My Girl" Love that song. I saw them sing it at a concert, and loved it.

BERNADETTE!!

"Still Waters Run Deep" by 4 Tops was my all time fav of theirs. Smokey & Miracles all time fav was, "Ooh, Baby, Baby"

I love 💘 Bernadette!!@

@@carbar3936 Check out Smokey on "Live from Daryl's House" with Daryl Hall from Hall & Oates. It's one of the best episodes.

Love Gladys, I'd recommend "I Heard It Through the Grapevyne" "Neither One of Us" or "On& On".

@@Cas82958 All good choices. As much as I love Heard it Through the Grapevine, I went with the other title because Grapevine is a cover. Didn't Marvin Gaye do it first? But of the three you suggested I'd go with Neither One of Us. They're all good songs, though. Gladys is one of my all time favorites.

@@Cas82958 or 'You're the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me.' That's a little more up tempo than 'Neither One of Us.'

@@serenakirby9717 Gladys recorded her version 2nd although it was released first. Both great renditions!

@@Cas82958 absolutely! I do prefer Gladys's version, though.

That's my groove!

Did the Temptations do a song by that name? I know the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose did.

@@denisesudell2538 no it was the Temptations. There's a couple of videos you can search on RU-vid and watch them.

Yes Ali Ollie Woodson sang lead on that song (I think I might have spelled his name wrong.)

@@MissLadyG99 right. With the Temptations. 👍

Shirley Jones , I love the song Treat her like a lady by The Temptations on the same Album is another song I love called Lady Soul. Check it out if you haven't heard it.☺

What about Memphis soul? That came just before Motown soul

That line always makes me laugh

Hahaha! Yes, must have seen the temp movie ten times.....VHi showed it 25 times...LOL

🤣🤣🤣

Always ROTFL when I hear that just like Eddie Kane's Jr. singing trying to get back in The 5 Heartbeats after falling on hard times.

@@araya52 I love that movie. It's incredible.

Smokey ANY song!

Ooo. Baby baby!

That is too funny, I just commented the same thing. Before I read any comments. Great minds think a like.

Love, love Smokey!!!

All of these r&b groups took something from the Temptations. If you look at New Edition, there choreography is patterned after the Temptations. The Temptations were the only male r&b vocal group back in those days with synchronized choreography.

I never liked Boys to Men... They're the ones who changed Manly voices into the Whiny voices we hear today.

@@veronicasmith7076 ummmm...old school, was built around high pitched voices. Wow!

@@SuperKNesbitt if when you say "High-Pitched" you mean Falsetto then yes, some old school songs were built around falsetto voices (i.e Eddie Kendricks singing just my imagination). But a Whiny voice (where they sound like they are singing thu their nose) is a far cry from a Falsetto.

Dramatics, "Be My Girl" stayed on my neighbors daily loop repeatedly as a kid.

Chaka Kahn sweet thing.

Please listen to the recorded version, not the live one.

I’ve seen them twice in Detroit. Amazing!

Eddie with Keep on Truckin too! 🤗

I am jealous. I grew up with them being born in 1962. My Dad played their albums. Saw them on AB and Soul Train.

I saw The Temptations in the 90’s before Melvin died. They were outstanding! It was a tour with The O’Jays and one of the best concerts that I’ve ever seen to this day.

A timeless class - you should take a listen to this jam Twins!!

Here on youtube there is a video that was done to that song in 2019 and it shows how poignant that song still is today. Please, please listen to this song.

Definitely!

And I heard it through the grapevine!

And find the version with the original beginning where Marvin is talking.

😥 that would be wonderful

Yes! Please!

🤣

Agreed!!

YES ❤️

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sorry for your loss,and btw,your mom had great taste in music!

@@maryannturton9830 aww, thank you for saying that! 🙂
