THESE GUYS ARE SO AMAZING!!!! THE TEMPTATIONS - AINT TO PROUD TO BEG (REACTION) 

The greatest MALE GROUP OF ALL TIME

David Ruffin made you believe it.He sang with passion and soul.

I dont think its possible to explain the impact the Temptations had on the music scene. If you listen to the albums Eddie Kendricks and avid Ruffin shared leads. That was part of their greatness. Same group but different sounds.

The greatness of The Temptations was every member could actually sing and take lead. Their harmonies were so tight with Melvin killing down low and Eddie soaring over the top with the middle blend. They were one, if not the only group of that time where different members shared lead vocals and still make hit after hit. The first song where all the voices were featured was “The Way You Do the Things You Do”, which became their first hit. The first song where each member took lead was “Cloud Nine”, which became Motown’s first Grammy. All standing over 6’1, can dance, had style and class. No one will ever come close. Rolling Stones’ most greatest male vocal group of all time!

If you haven't seen it yet, i know you would LOVE the movies "The Temptations" and also "Standing in the Shadows of Motown." I saw both online, and then bought my own copies of each. If you love the Temps and Motown, you would absolutely enjoy these so well done movies!

The real deal the original Tempting Temptations, love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥

"Since I Lost My Baby" was just on the radio. Try that tune as well. There I was, 16 years old, cool enough to dig this! And the moves! As said before, we drum corps guys just loved the sharp moves. Yes, that's David. Yes, sometimes gotta humble yourself sometimes! That way, you can still be together from 1975 to today!

*"If I have to cry to keep you I don't mind weeping if it'll keep you by my side."* Who says that these days?? What a treasure!

Yes, that is the amazing David Ruffin on lead vocals! He was so magnetic and had amazing vocal ability! He had a tumultuous love relationship with Tammi Terrell! David and Eddie Kendrick toured with Hall and Oates in the eighties and it was quite a comeback for two of the best Temptations ever! ❤️❤️

The Temps have always been what we call our “family signature music”! My husband and I have taken the kids several times to see them! Well, Otis is the only original left, but, it’s still lots of fun! The movie about their career is amazing!🥰

I have loved The Temptations for such a long time, trying to do their dance moves while singing is a Challenge!🥰 Check The Temptations & The Four Tops doing their singing & dancing battles on video back in the late 60’s & in the 70’s - they are out of this world 💜🇨🇦😻☮️🌎💥💗

I love that y'all do your research on artists like the Temptations so that you're more informed before reacting to them. Also, having seen the Temptations in concert a couple of times about 20 years apart, I can say that even though they're older and it's no longer the original lineup, they're still amazing artists with some of the best songs ever to come out of Motown. Great rabbit hole to go down.

In my opinion the greatest singing group of all time ✌🏾

The Four Tops are just as Amazing! Try "Standing in the Shadows of Love," or "Bernadette." Levi Stubb's voice will have you hooked.

I was ten when this came out, so I grew up with the best music ever! ❤️❤️❤️

The “Temptations “ were the best group out forever. And David Ruffin was one of the Temptations best lead singer., but so was Eddie Kendrick, and Paul Williams, but last but not least Dennis Edward. They are all Legends. Their early music still ROCKS today like it did when they first sung it.

Classic! The audience applause drowns out the beginning of the song in this clip, which stands out for its desperate sparseness on the studio recording. The single kicks off with a drum flourish and a simple cymbal ride while David Ruffin knocks out the opening verse alone with only a brief piano riff to mark the bars. Then the whole band comes together for the chorus and wow, just wow. Awesome!

david ruffin lead singer "WALK AWAY FROM LOVE" an absolute stunner for reaction ; )

What you're experiencing with the Temptations with their Great Sound and their beautiful dance moves was the very Niche that Motown brought to music back in that era and as great as The Temptations are I would say they were the greatest R&B group of the era and probably in the top 325 greatest groups of all time but there are a lot of other great R&B groups of the era too and I'm going to list them for you in my next comment so you can see some other groups that you would really like whenever you get around to doing the review of them. I won't get it give you any of the songs but you can certainly do a search on RU-vid and find some of their greatest music I'll just give you the names of the groups.

This was a great song to dance to back in the day.

I love seeing you two enjoying great music for the first time...and I love the connection between you two...bless you both

Of all the people that discover songs sent in..you guys are thee best...I love you both, and your reaction

fantastic song and fantastic reaction--love you guys.

The Way You Do the Things You Do ~ another great song ~

My favorite Temptations song. Thank you!. To say this group is talented and innovative would be an understatement. Everyone tried to simulate this band's sound and dance moves. TLC..would later borrow this song's title only and create their own unique lyrics.

There was no one ever, like The Original Temptations ! No one else came close. So much of their early music, was composed by Smokey Robinson .-----------THE best !

Love the Temptations. I went to the Original Temptations Concerts 3 times back in the 60’s and 70’s

I love your reactions you guys are great are great,but the music of the sixties seventies and early eighties and is the best, funk,soul and R&B ,you want here that kind of music today. You guys are in for a treat.. Mel. I like your singing when you say Meeeel, it's your signature keep it up .

Love The Temptations❤️FOREVER

Such a wonderful song. Such a great hit for the Temptations. Love this. Very good reaction. 😊

Man you can't beat this group they have some good songs and David Ruffin sure can sing wow

1972 I'm hitchhiking around the USA and one night I get a ride from this black dude his name was Darin anyways we're in Kansas here I am with hair to my waist and Darin with a fro bout 3ft in diameter we're smoking and joking and he puts in a 8 track of temptations and oncoming poppa was a rolling stone that was my first time hearing the temptations me and Darin parted ways about 200 miles later, never forgot Darin and been a fan of the temptations ever since. I'm like 68yrs old now and I've kept that memory all these yrs. It was a good night and a great time with my buddy Darin

David Ruffin is the man.

The Stylistics "you are everything" I know you guys will love this one

You've reached the mountain top! Temptations! Look no further! A HUGE part of the Motown gold mine!

I wore this record out playing it over and over and doing my dance moves. Dropping down and doing the splits and jumping back up was a thing Ruffin, James Brown and we would do at the school dance to empress the girls. Great fun and wonderful times to be a teenager.

The Temptations, what could you say, just incredible music from one of Motown's many hit makers. Guys please give a listen to Paul Williams singing lead on " Don't Look Back". I loved David Ruffin's lead, but i equally loved Paul Williams, just wish he sang more leads with the Temptations. Give a listen to " It's You That I Need " too, another gem with David as the lead. May they both Rest in Peace.

This song, "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" was the start of their collaboration with producer Norman Whitfield. Before this, Smokey had been writing and producing hits that put them at the top -- "The Way You Do the Things You Do," "My Girl," and "Since I Lost My Baby" among others -- but this track broke through with Norman producing and so ended their association with Smokey. They went on to record some of their most recognized work under Whitfield's production, including their first two Grammy winners, "Cloud Nine" and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone."

Too Proud

My favorite Temps song! Thanks for reacting to this!

When David Ruffin went solo ( Walk away from love ) is a REAL banger to listen to !

I love this. I was 11 years old singing and dancing

Amazing sound, amazing performance, amazing talent, and just total class. True legends!

The legendary David Ruffin on lead vocals here, along with The Funk Brothers at their finest....

They used this song in the movie, the big chill.

Paul Williams sang with the Temptations also listen to don't look back.they were the best.. and I'm sure happy to see young people are listening to some of the greatest.

Yes, that is David Ruffin in the middle singing lead. Left to Right; Paul, Eddie, David, Mel and Otis

Song is so fire!!

Pure 100% Class!✌🏻🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The Great Temptations. When I think of Motown, I think of the The Temptations first. You'd have to have been in that time, really, to understand what it was like to have groups like The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Commodores and The Supremes playing on the radio every day. They were truly STARS.

One of my all-time favorites.

Just crossed my mind the colossal difference in how women are viewed in music back then and now. Sad really what popular music has become. This is a great old tune, thanks.

Yes Y'all made my day I love me some Temptations💯💜💜

Jimmy Ruffin, David’s older brother, had a hit with What Becomes of the Broken Hearted

Watching your videos is like eating a potato chip. You just can't eat one. You just can't watch one! Lovin it.

Can't beat the Motown music or choreography. Man that's sweet.

I was fortunate enough to see this movie(temptations) in middle school in like '98. The teacher Mr Davis was a musician and heavily pro black. The school was mostly inner city black kids. After 2 weeks of showing it to the school we used to form groups and go around singing temptations songs to the girls. And they would sit and listen!!🤣 none of us could sing!! We did that for like a month. 🤣🤣Never turned away from old school ever since....good times

One of the best singing group that came out MOTOWN hands down!!!

The 60's and 70s had the best music, in my opinion. Especially Soul Music which has always been my favorite!!!

The Temptations dance steps were so smooth and on point we did a dance called the Temptation walk

01/31/2022 Back in the day we had 8 track machines in our cars. A couple of us had the temps on a couple of tapes. WE would blast them wide open without amps and with paper speakers. Some made it speakers and some didn't. Sometimes the catholic girls would get out of the car and dance just to tease us impressional boys. What a time we had. Back then no one cared about race other than the drag races on friday night at the track. Please enjoy this eras music. Far less perfect than todays machine music. Don

once again the Funk Brothers rock this tune and always wanted to dance like the Temps

Love The Temptations and all music from Motown

1966 best year for music and the greatest decade for music the 60s

Love Temptations. I listen to oldies in the car and these guys always get me going. 70 years old and still know every word. Dance like them, makes your heart feel good. Love them and Motown!!!!!!

I’ve heard this song a million times and never knew the lyrics were beg and plead.🤪😂😂😂

You two are so cute. I can tell you believe those lyrics.

Black, white, yellow, green, blue with purple polka dots... didn't matter who you were or where you were... EVERYONE tried that Motown choreography at least once... twice if they got it right!

This song always makes me smile

They have a huge catalog of songs to react to and all of them are GREAT!

THE Motown Choreographer, was Cholly Atkins , & he worked these 5 guys, to death ! Paul Williams was really the only one who could dance , so it was 8-10 hours spent on " the moves ".

David was the shit!! Regardless of the drug he fell into, he had that voice nobody can match...THEE MAN

We had so many great variety shows on TV back in the day, the singing groups had great dance moves! Always loved it. Hope you can catch a video of Gladys Knight and the Pips, the Pips had some fabulous dance moves also.

Y’all will love The Temptations and The Supremes duet “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me”

Just love these guys! David Ruffin was smooth, very! Great singers, moves... They had it all back in 1966 here!

Soul at its best!!

David Ruffin was always in step with group no matter what he was singing. This was a well choreographed group. Simply the best.

Always loved the Temptations and their music was great to dance to many fond memories ❤️

The original soul R&B male group.

Their dance moves were choreographed by the legendary Motown funk brothers! You should check out some video on them.

Love this group

You both bring such joy😂🎉🎉

Ain't no more songs like this, when they beg their woman or man to come back to them. Now it's all 'Screw off, I'll just find a new one.'

Any man/men who can write passionate lyrics like these..is beautiful inside.

I'm glad that I begged for this one! 👍 Now, Love Has No Pride by Bonnie Raitt (1972) should be next for the female equivalent song - yes, please! 💞 edit: And, if that one doesn't make you kinda want to weep, listen to her (1991) I Can't Make You Love Me. That should do it. 💔

The Temptations!!! ❤️🌟

That was good guys

Shawn and Mel…the Temps have the moves, but the Gladys Knight and the Pips singing I really got to use my imagination beats it all…the Pips are amazing!

Love their dancing!! Great song

They were the BOMB!

Anything by The Temptations is A-OK. There is another group from slightly before The Temps called The Drifters. Their "Under The Boardwalk" and "Up On The Roof" are two favourites.

Great Artist

For me a day without the Temptations is like a day without Fleetwood Mac...... I don’t wanna experience a day without either somewhere in it!

Thank you for educating people on great music!

Out of the five of them Otis is the only one still alive he's 80 years old😍👍...the other four died before they even reached 55. Sad.

😂 I really enjoy your first reactions so much! I get a kick out of it when you guys stop the song and comment and analyze each word or movement! Yeah those were the good old days. That said, it's so hard for me to believe that you guys have never heard some of these songs before! 🤔 Is there a background that you two are willing to share about your life as to WHY you have never heard many of these songs? 🤨 I'll click the like button and then wait for your reply. 🤨⌛

Thank you...I love the songs you react to...

The Temptation "walk" song ! Featured in the 80s baby Boomer movie, The Big Chill

Loved the Temptation’s, “ My Girl & The Way You Do The Things You Do, “ were two of my favorites.
