Say what you like about the mighty Tempts but this is an amazing & intricate vocal arrangement of this classic song. All the little stabs & punch in ad-lib harmonies are sublime !
Impressive. As a fan since 1965- the Ruffin and Kendricks era- this line up is the business. Larry Braggs ex Tower of Power frontman and the youngest member fits in perfectly and it was wise move getting him involved. Still one of the Worlds great vocal groups-long may they soothe our souls.
You know I use to hate on Ron Tyson's falsetto, but after watching him in this video and seeing and hearing how strong he sounds in hid old age he has won my respect
@@earvinlewis1 how could you say something so stupid,he's singing falsetto which is to high for this song Eddie sang this song in a thin tenor ,:doesn't like nothing about this version please learn your music first before you say something stupid
One of my favourite songs of all time, written by the great team of Strong & Whitfield. Great perfomanhere and so glad the BBC did nice slow camera work on this show. Beautiful.
I have been a Temptation fan all my life. It took me a minute to get with line-up but this video confirms the legend continues. Thanks Otis for keeping it going. Love Temps 4Ever!
The song is about a guy who is madly in love with a girl, but they're only together in his imagination. Every day, he watches her walk by his window, and in his reverie he pictures their life together. In reality, she doesn't even know him. Motown writers Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong wrote "Just My Imagination" in the late '60s, but since psychedelic songs were popular at the time, they decided to wait a few years before releasing it. Whitfield pulled it out of the mothballs after the relative failure of The Temptations' "Ungena Za Ulimwengu (Unite the World)," which hit #33 in 1970 (unacceptable by their standards). Whitfield felt they needed to change direction to stay on top of the game, so he steered Temptations away from their string of socially relevant songs and had them record this airy ballad. The strategy worked, and the song rose to #1 in America. LYriCs Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by I say to myself you're such a lucky guy To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true Out of all the fellows in the world she belongs to me But it was just my imagination Runnin' away with me It was just my imagination runnin' away with me Soon we'll be married and raise a family (oh yeah) A cozy little home out in the country with two children maybe three I tell you I can visualize it all This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems But it was just my imagination once again runnin' way with me Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me Every night on my knees I pray, dear Lord, hear my plea Don't ever let another take her love from me or I would surely die Her love is heavenly, when her arms enfold me I hear a tender rhapsody, but in reality she doesn't even know me Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me No, no, I can't forget her Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me Just my imagination runnin' away with me Writer/s: BARRETT STRONG, NORMAN WHITFIELD, NORMAN J.

Ahhhhh Terry makes me smile!!! I can just look at Terry standing. He can just stand there lol! I look at this video every day, several times a day just to look at Terry❤️
Sing Terry with your fine self! I always thought from the beginning, Terry was and still is a great addition to the Temptations. He's got the voice, looks, moves, height and very talented! I hope Terry stay with the Temptations❤️
Well, that's about as good as music gets. Magnificent lead by Ron Tyson - who is the third longest running Temp of them all - after Otis and Melvin Franklin.
@@chileschris12 Yes, that's now true. When I posted my comment nearly 5 years ago, I think Ron was just behind Melvin. Either way, I've returned to this magnificent performance many times!
What a beautiful song. I heard it properly for the first time at a bar two days ago. I was meeting my ex’s father for the first time and he was in town to come collect his things and cremate his sons body because he unfortunately passed away by suicide. He had a heavy past that was catching up to him but he was a wonderful soul. Everybody loved him and he loved them back. Seeing his father for the first time I could see just what he could have been in his old age. They looked and talked the same and it hurt seeing him the resemblance was too much but it was great closure to finally meet my ex’s father who he loved dearly. This song was playing while he was talking with a few people and in that moment I was transported to a happier time with him. The what could have been, what should have been, and all the what if’s in the world. I will never ever know but I trust God has better plans for me. All I have left are the memories and that is where I will stay - just my imagination running away from me. 💜 Past the Moon, Beyond the Stars my one and only. May you rest in peace.
I love The Temptations (all era's)! However, I am so hooked on Terry Weeks voice and I cannot stop listening and looking at him❤️. Temptations Forever!
They all fit good because it was already laid out for them.When you can sing and they already have it laid out it is easy when you got five great singers!!! Yea that is tower power former singer Larry Braggs. Its much easier to share that spot light with experience singer's. I'am very HAPPY for them. That music keeps them HEALTHY!! Also they are working at there pace, its all good!!
Damn! Terry Weeks is one of the purest voices I ever heard 💕. My wish is to see Terry perform in person (before I leave this earth). Missed them when they came to MGM in Maryland. Temptations Forever!!!!!!
I can look at this video every day, all day, just to see and hear Terry sing❤️. I think Terry is so handsome. Honestly, I do look at it every day, however, not all day lol!
I just have to give credit where credit is due. I don't care what nobody say, I think Terry Weeks has got one of the most distinguished voices in the world. Terry said - how many children do you seeeeee? This man's voice drives me wild. Fine as h*** too❤️
OMG! I love this song. This here my group lol! Tempts looking handsome and sharp too. Love The Temptations. Best Group (all era's) ever. Singgggggggggg Terry with your fine self. Terry go swagggggg too. I fast forward to Terry close up and freeze my computer screen lol! Terry's voice just penetrates to the core of my soul and the rest is history....❤️
