May 11, 2012 - @Mr.Dorin.......The Temptations were a VOCAL SINGING GROUP not a band!!!!!! The Funk Brothers is what one would call a band. That's why the Temps got a band to back them up!

May 19, 2012 - I also have to give a shout out to MELVIN FRANKLIN [baritone], DAMON HARRIS [high tenor], and RICHARD STREET [fourth singer; sings at 2:41]; who all had small lead parts on this classic tune. The year is 1972!Peace and love...
