Even though I was only 8 years old when I first heard this song, it became one of my favorite ballads by the Temptations. The lyrics were written by Smokey Robinson and Pete Moore and produced by Robinson. The record, which was released on June 1, 1965, was a top 20 pop single on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
* Lead vocals by David Ruffin
* Background vocals by Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams, and Otis Williams
How ironic that David Ruffin would die on the SAME DAY the song was released June 1 in 1991. He was 50-year-old at the time.
Luther Vandross went on the record the song in the 80s but as far as I'm concerned, not even Luther, could hold a candle to the original Temptations Sound. Can you guess which song it is before you hit the play button?
What was your favorite Temptations slow baby boomer jam?
