The Temptations - Get Ready and Ol' Man River video free download

Speaking of Paul's ability to sing bass, apparently his father's voice was deeper than Melvin's. I would have loved to have heard that.

Eddie sang a full lead in his natural voice on the album, Meet The Temptations on the cut, May I Have This Dance. He partially used his natural voice on a number of other songs, including Ball of Confusion, Lonely, Lonely World on the Temptin' Temptations album and Not Now, I'll Tell You Later on The Temptations Getting Ready.

It's interesting, for some reason I thought that Eddie Kendricks never sang anything but falsetto, but at the very beginning of Ol' Man River you can hear his natural voice (it's easier to hear it on the "Live At The Copa" version than it is here). Does anyone know if he sang lead on any of the songs with his natural voice?

so good, so classic

Great Great post, very simular to the classic live album's performance. Being that this was probably done within months of one another I feel highly privileged to now enjoy the visual as well.

This is legendary singing...Nobody in this generation can ever touch the Temptations...If you doubt me...Then show me????

I knew David was always able to sing low bass, but hearing Paul sing bass on certain parts of Ol' Man River was amazing!

Can't thank you enough for this. Thanks so much for posting it. I was four years old when this aired. It's wonderful seeing it today.

Melvin Franklin, what a voice! Base can't get better than this. Awesome! Yes, the greatest group ever!

Thanks for posting this, but Mike Douglas's audio techs weren't on their jobs on the background vocals for "Get Ready." My boys were killing it on background vocals, but you would never know it because the audio techs were sleeping. I guess that classic microphone tree threw them off, lol!

Eddie Kendricks voice really shines thru on ol man river. Special talent who really put the Temps over the top especially w harmonies.

Amazing performance of both songs and I love the 4 part harmony on Ole Man River.

They actually play this song live for real (and sound good doing it). How rare is that these days.
