My daddy had this song on record. I remember my daddy gave it to my mom because she loved the Temptations as well. Still remember them dancing to this.🥹
Oh the clout in that last line "but in reality, she doesn't even know me". My imagination has run away with me in exactly this way at least twice in the past, but thankfully I'm soon to celebrate my 38th wedding anniversary and the reality is wonderful!!
I heard this in my dream today so I searched, I was in a mall full of all my old school mates and people my age (around24 to 27). I was walking in a clothing store and I met this type of girl I’ve always wanted badly , we didn’t know eatchother but we embraced eachother despite. We continued to hold hands walking passed eatchother as this song echoed in the air and I walked away with a sad and longing feeling in my gut , and all my old schoolmates watching me in surprise. I woke up with the same lingering feeling until now.
Last September we saw the Broadway production of 'Ain't too Proud to Beg' (excellent). Towards the end of the show they sang this song and after the announcer said this was Otis Williams' favorite song from the Temptations and sadly that was the last he ever saw/heard from Eddie. Sadly @ the end they had I think 7 guys in white with their backs to the audience representing all the deceased members. Some much younger lady next to saw I was sad and said they're still together. I said No, I'm a double nickel baby and it is not the same, you don't know what you missed.
hi, I found this song thanks to another artist, GHOSTEMANE, more specifically from the song Atlantis Is Buried Beneath The Ice In Antarctica. wonderful song
When I was 15 years old, I was hospitalized in a psych ward for a failed suicide attempt. In the ward were a lot of kids who were gang affiliated and lost. They would fight with each other, and sometimes the orderlies wouldn't step in to stop it. I saw a lot of crazy things in there. But one day, we were having what I think was a music therapy group, and they threw this song on. Everybody sang together. It was incredible. I'm 30 now, and this song takes me back there every single time I hear it.
❤ 25 years ago I was 28 depressed bad. Out in the yard. Suddenly a neighbor had Motown playing loud out in his yard. At first I bitched. I thought damn you ruined my peace and quiet. Dude saved my life that day. Became best friends. Never told him about any of that. He died suddenly in 17. Super guy
I lost my dad at the age of 73 , last night , this was his favorite song because it reminded him of his love for his wife (my mom) , I am absolutely floored but music always helps , and he continually told his grandchildren how Motown music was the greatest music that has ever been made. RIP Dad , we love you and you will live on in our thoughts and hearts and souls forever 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was born in 64. My brother was 9 years older than me. He listened to all these groups. Gladys knight and the pips etc. This brings back great memories
This was my baby brother’s favorite song when we were growing up as children, he had an old soul at the age of 6. His favorite part was the chorus that he would sing 🎶 to. He was killed in July at the age of 53. This song hits me so differently now more than ever. I still can’t believe my baby brother is no longer with us. 😢
One of the greatest songs of all time. It was one of Eddie Kendricks best vocal performances. He was actually the first lead singer for The Temptations. Without his voice they would have never been the same.
Grew up in the 60's on so much of this music. I was a small town kid just dreamin' of life and love. This song spoke to my heart then and it still does in 2024.....
