The world's best singing group, ever.

[Seymouro]

I love my British invasion. My hard rock and roll. My rhythm and blues.

But as far as just simple singing is concerned, the Temptations are unbeatable. Sure I like the Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, the Beatles, Mick and the Stones, the Who and I could go on and on. But the Temps can hit every octave in every range like no others. The best are Ruffin and Kendricks.

I remember seeing each of these the day they were on TV. First is this incomparable Whitfield and Strong number. The Funk Brothers and accompaniments put a real shine on this one.

The second is a gem from Ed Sullivan. Note that the Temptations can sing the Supremes' songs as well or better than they can. Diana and the girls sound great, but...

We were blessed to be young music connoisseurs when this music was new and fresh. The 4 Freshmen were earlier but the copy-cats were no chumps either!
