Jun 18, 2009 - Sorry I'd forgotten, it was so long ago now, still I'm glad that 89,099 people have looked in to listen to this track. I'd also recommend people to see the film "The Temptations" from 1998 it tells all, and is excellent. JOHN

Jun 20, 2009 - Thanks, I've just bought the film its brill but I fear a little one sided showing Otis and Melvin is the best light.

MotownMagic1959 Says:

Jun 20, 2009 - Yes, beebandloz that's what I thought, but I'm quite sure they got along much better than the film portrayed, they do that in films though don't they? I must add some more tracks by The Temptations soon, were'nt they the greatest really? JOHN

Jun 20, 2009 - I agree 100%, I get moaned at in my house for playing them too much. You can't win. BEEB

Jul 4, 2009 - this song is one the best motown productions ever! The powerful dynamic sound, motown strings and chorus and not to forget the voice from David Ruffin....unforgetable!

Jul 10, 2009 - I too am from the boogie down and I wouldn't trade my upbringing for nothing in the world, the block parties, Crotona Park, going to the beach, City Island I loved it all. I live in Atlanta now but my whole family is still there on Prospect Ave and I visit regularly.

Jul 16, 2009 - It tells you something about the sad state of Motown's L.A. era that they had to ape Philly soul on this record. It's great, though.
