Did he use some kind of spray or a lemon or something, I know he just can,t wake up in the morning and hit and hold those soprano keys unbelieveable

rodney richardson His phasing does it for me h had a way of making you think he was talking too you personally.no othr singer could make you feel that way. It's as though he's going through a personal dilemma and he's sharing it with you.

Exactly, no auto tune, No back up and even if you can hear the music his voice is so powerful that it drowns everything else out.

Brielle always loved the sound of his voice

I know right? Magic.

So do I. He is so utterly magnanimous. Rest well David and entertain the angels.😪😪💖❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Yes Yes Yes 😍❤❤

Yes !!!!!

☹️

Wow. Thanks for that detail, adds a whole new dimension to this incredible vocal.

I always thought it was a song written by David Ruffin and I found out the story of Roger. RIP to the Lonely Romantic 🙏

he sang this to the instrumental.u can hear it in the back

+Wesley Devereaux So you think he couldn't have ?

Speaking in this particular file not David Ruffin and his voice. I can clearly hear the instrumental in the back. I kno have to fix audio and remove elements of a song for the fact I'm an audio engineer damn cry babies

A cappellas in the pop world are usually, at least in this genre, just isolated vocal tracks from full album versions. You can hear his headphones leak in to the mic in this track. Very nice song and a wonderful experience to listen to his voice soloed out from the rest of the mix.

If I sent you 2 songs could you make them acapella or show me how to do them myself?

That pain is aptly depicted in a scene in the B'way show about the Temptations, "Ain't Too Proud".

Beautifully said

You should listen to Marvin Gaye,I heard it through the grapevine acapella,flawless.

OH YES!

True

I wish back then David & Levi Stubbs would've recorded together. Could u imagine how that would've sounded?

Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Troy Alexander no love for Marvin Gaye 🙁

lol

No, il cuore sei un uomo💙💙🤗

We all understand these lyrics it's global and universe

A white man wrote the words after a break up then killed himself. I just read that in the comments.

Idiots

Yea, it will be somewhere written, no personal witnessing in 2,433 years and it still would not be true. In my opinion, as is your opinion. Their came a lot of fabulous singers since David and some of the others after even contributed to co-writing songs that the New Tempts have won awards, including grammys for . Yes I love David I am in the fan club and I get a chance to talk to family members of the temps and close friends of the tempts. David , Dennis, and my oh my that good-looking, suave, talented Ollie Woodson , who co-wrote with Otis Williams _Treat Her Like a Lady" all three had dynamite voices, with all three having their own style and key. The Temptation fan base was and is better now than before. They have not lost a beat. Good singing, good dances, and downright sophistication, and suave will never die and that's what the Tempts give their audiences, and nothing less.

Augustus Caesar Well said!!!!!

He surpasses awesome! What a voice!

Very well put and Otis is still going on even though he is in his middle 70's.

That's one thing for sure

Lol so we just gone act like smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye don't exist 👌🏽 gotcha

+Nat turner21 Those two did 'exist' as you say, it's just that Ruffin, Cooke and Wilson were BETTER!!. Don't hate silly rabbit, just accept FACT. GOTCHA.

😂 Oooh sensitive Sally my apology your entitled to your own opinion despite how ludicrous they are but don't just say something just to be different Marvin Gaye sang with more emotion and depth than all those men put together David Ruffin couldn't pin or produce a what's going on if he tried btw how did David's solo career do ? Marvin had HITS from the sixties to the day he died 61-84 had 6 number 1 singles on one ALBUM David got replaced by the temps and they ain't skip a beat , Sam Cooke didn't have Marvin's range or depth he was great but No Marvin and Wilson 😂😂😂 Jesus take the wheel. The Three Most talented people on that label and in secular music at the time where Stevie , Marvin and Smokey. David was good very good actually but let's not get carried away hell I don't think he would agree with you. 😒

Also Michael if we want discuss facts tell me....... How many Hits did smokey pen for David and the temps , How Many Artist have sampled , Covered , Copied Damn near stole Marvin's multi tracking techniques , song concepts ext... Who influenced and entire generation of Soul singers and music period 😶 Marvin Pentz Gaye Jr , the man was essentially the perfect artist. Gifted with multiple instruments , gospel inspired high tenor , equal part introspection / hit maker. Smh yo Mama ought to slap you boy.

+Nat turner21 , Smokey penned alot. But Ruffin brought the songs to life
