The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

Paul was always the best dancer, followed by Melvin. And that middle split that David did...I don't remember seeing anyone do that other than him. He had another move where he tossed the mic in the air, spun around while it was still airborne, and ended with the mike in his hand as he's completing the turn and coming up from a squat position. I used to practice that as a kid. I believe it was after he left the group and appeared on Sullivan's show. The song he sung was "My Whole World Ended". Remember that like it was yesterday.

I grew up in Detroit and it was a natural gas, on Friday night's the TEMPTATIONS would come to the White Castle ( .12 cent hamburgers ) in a candy red convertible Cadillac and us kids hang all over the car talking with the Temps. Man it was Big fun! Each year in Detroit starting on Christmas eve and, ending on New year's eve night, there was the Motown Review It cost .75 cent each day to attend within that week, yould see the whole of Motown's Acts, There was nothing like it Any where. I can hardly believe that those days are gone. Years later my Wife, RIP, and, I spent A Memorial day with Melvin Franklin and, his Wife and, Mother in law Bar B Qing. I loved all of the TEMPTATIONS. Just a couple of Months or so ago, I posted on FB: HOW LUCKY CAN YOU BE TO GET TO GROW UP IN DETROIT WITH MOTOWN AND THE TEMPTATIONS! I'm now 73 years old, and you talk about MEMORIES! I loved it then, and I love it now! The Music Will Always BE.ENJOY!

These, Ladies and Gentlemen, are the Original Temptations and trust me when I say that there has never been, nor shall there ever be, a better vocal group. PERIOD. Though Dennis Edwards, Ollie Woodson and others came along and made their marks AFTER David Ruffin left, and though Al and others came BEFORE David Ruffin, it is quite clear that the Temptations were NOT a hit making act, nor a household name UNTIL David Ruffin made it happen. Therefore, the point I'm making here is that none of the people who came before David Ruffin matter and will never be counted.

@@googlemyself4091 You are most certainly entitled to your opinion. However, if you think that Dennis Edwards compares to David Ruffin in any way, shape or form, you're either a comedian or insane. As for David Ruffin not being an original, that depends on what you consider original. Every group or band can trace their roots back to when they had other members, but never made it until they found the "right" combination. David Ruffin was the man who sang the Temts first HIT record and he is the reason they went from being called "The No-Hit Tempts" to being a household name. ANYONE who came before David (including Al) really doesn't matter and will never be considered, just as no one will ever consider any of the Chicago Bulls before the Michael Jordan era. Duh.

Honestly, his head should've been big, as a performer he was in a league of his own. His antics were nowhere of J-Lo, Madonna proportions- but he was well beyond their level of talent. Shame jealousy reared it's ugly head instead of love and support.

I have one regret in life. I have seen the Temps live seven times over the years with various line-ups, but I never got to see the original guys, I was too young! David, Eddie and Paul had all left by the time I first went to a live show. Have to content myself by watching great vids like this. Thanks for posting.

I swear we are so lucky to live in a world where these five men (and later Dennis Edwards) met each other and put their voices together. Everything about this performance is so incredible and yet they do it with such ease, it's almost hard to believe The Temptations were a real thing.

They were thorough professionals. They rehearsed those precise dance moves and routines, they were all super talents individually, but as a kid I was enraptured by Ruffin. I mean, compare their smooth stuff to what's out there today and it just looks like wild noise compared to the Temps. The Supremes too, when they were DRESSED. The matching gowns. The gorgous harmonies and moves. The Temps made their dance sequences look so easy, but I've tried to copy the sequence and it's not that simple. Even "my girl" the sequence - they looked very casual, but you have to focus to be uniform with the other 4. A mistake would really have stood out.

@MsLady328 They became the candy ass Temptations. With Ruffin they had this aura of mystque about them. The y were the mostawesome act that ever step up to the mike. They are not called the Classical Era Temptstions for nothing . Viewing them with Ruffin was almost like a religion experience.He bought a level of sophisication never seen with the replacements!

Don’t know what it is, but whenever David Ruffin was in the background dancing, i always feel he didn’t belong there. He really was a showman and belonged out front. The way he sang, danced, held the mic etc that’s a frontman.
@90skidineffect88 4 жыл бұрын
Me too, I feel the same way because David basically comes to life when he sings it’s like he take on another persona, when he in the background it’s like their closing or caging him he need to be in front at all times lol I know Everyman carries the group but he was the group he was gifted and special.
