Now hit "My Guy" by Mary Wells, also written and produced by Smokey Robinson, and also released in 1964 for the Motown label. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 (Wikipedia).

Totally agree!

This is an absolute Mt. Rushmore Motown Classic song. If I had a nickel for every time this song has been used in a tv show, commercial, movie or whatever, I'd be a multi-millionaire. Great song.

This song was written and arranged for the Temptations by Smokey Robinson. The song was a huge hit in the 60's and is one of those songs that keeps resurfacing. It's a Motown Gem.

Great sound of the 60s, The Motown Sound. Along with Hard Rock, Soft Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Folk Rock. What a great time to be part of that. Loved it.

You’d probably like under the boardwalk, by the drifters. Really enjoy your show!

Ooohhh, I love Motown. I remember when this was on the radio. I can picture the transistor! This is SUCH a golden classic

Me too! I’m pretty sure that when I was a kid, this song was tied to my first understanding of the concept of “classic”. We knew it then, we know it now.

The songs had to be really good to sound good on a little transistor radio😂🙃

I was thinking the same thing! 😀

"Get Ready" by Temptations is another banger of theirs. You can't go wrong with Motown music. Also get a chance to listen to the Four Tops "Bernadette" great song as well as all the others they have. Always enjoy the sounds of the 60's best for music ever!!!!!

You def should read to the incredible Temptations performance and choreography with this iconic song. That’s apart of the whole epicness of it.

Classic...

Everyone’s favorite slow dance song when I was in high school.✌️❤️🎶

“Bass and guitar like peanut butter and jelly “ perfect expression of beautiful music.

Great vocals, and smooth moves. The Temptaions have a cool, sweet vibe. Thank you for reacting.

One of the most nostalgic songs. Sound of the decade. Great classic!

The ultimate "feel good" song. The singing is out of this world but that guitar riff gets me every time.

Hi Shawn! Thank you SOO much for reacting to one of my FAVOURITE songs! LOVE this song so much! Love your channel! Peace and Blessings from Australia.

"Peanut Butter 'n' jelly"! OH, fantastic analogy! You have the most amazing energy, and you REALLY pay attention and ENJOY what you hear! 👌👍✌❣

THE Best Song of the R&R Era

Great suggestion! I was just listening to DC5!

One of the most famous opening Bass Lines ever!!! Everything he said is what you think of your girls and Pepper Kat, too.

This is one of my first record purchases as a child. This '45rpm 'record' was not a vinyl disc. It was a paper-type material laminated with a grooved plastIc coating. It was probably meant as a demo or for only minimal use. Along with this single, I purchased Baby Love by Diana Ross and the Supremes and Dancing in the Streets by Martha and the Vandellas. I wish I still had them. Probably real collectors' items now. The Temptations had a lot of great hits, but My Girl still has a special place in my heart.

David Ruffin sang lead on this song and from 1964 - 19668 they are known as the classic 5

Like they said back in the Day, This song is a Stone Cold Groove !!! 😊✌

Oh wow, Shawn! You are doing great in the 60’s, thank you so much!👍👏👏👏♥️

You should find a video of a live performance of this song to react to. The Temptations choreography is part of the experience of their songs.

And the matching suits.

The Motown sound was known as Beach Music in my home state of South Carolina. Dancing the shag in the Pad in Ocean Drive (just north of Myrtle Beach) was living the good life.

Dave Clark Five "Catch us if you can" is worth listening to, great up tempo song of the 60's, once again!

Barry Gordy and Mowtown , was a hit factory for many years, there players were the black version of the wrecking crew out of LA.

Who doesn’t love this. And David Ruffin was such a great singer.

Ahh yhe sweet sounds of the Temptations!

Try the David Ruffin/Eddie Kendricks/Hall & Oates live from the Appollo version. David Ruffin! Live on forever! When I was in the drum corps decades ago, We'd sing this to the local girls after the fireman's day parade to try and get a cuddle, lol. Fun stuff. Thank you. Thank you.

Lake Street Dive is my current band. Found them by accident 2 years ago.

Thanks for playing my favorite Temptations song 💗 Next find a live video to see their moves & even better find a video with The Temptations & The Four Tops singing and having their dance moves contests !! I’ve been a Motown girl since the sixties & always will be !🔥🥰❤️‍🔥💗💓💞💃🕺

Love the Temptations! This is such a great song!! Thank you!!!!

Classic 60s Motown. I've sung it myself in one of my covers bands. I love it!

The bass is of course great. It's played by James Jamerson, whom is regarded by many as the greatest bassist in the world. And the guitar licks, played by Robert White, is named as being among the top 5 guitar hooks at one point in the documentary film about Funk Brothers, Standing In The Shadows of Motown.

Motown ❤❤❤❤

Back then songs had to be short to get played on AM radio, longer songs did not come out until after Fm radio came out, and like stelledan says No static at all, and some times they would play a whole side of an album , good times.

You got to love mowtown!!!

Last song at every HS dance in my day.

Believe it or not but the Stones covered this in the mid 60's.

I would comment more often, but I'm on my TV most of the time when i watch reviews. And not my PC.

I honestly can’t believe you’ve never heard this whole song before. 😮

OMG, there are TONS of songs, especially from about 1984-on, that I heard "in passing" or referenced as a meme or in popular culture somewhere. But actually sitting down and actually REALLY LISTENING to the song, start to finish, no distractions.....THAT is a whole other experience. That is what this reaction is!

Wow a great song this is real music by real musicians

The Temptations had a looong string of hits including "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" (1966): kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zadkts2ulrunY5s.htmlsi=htfeTBtG6Zlo20Ov, "I Wish it Would Rain" (1968) & "I Can't Get Next to You" (1969). One of the foremost Motown groups, their music still stands the test of time. Most songs of the time were relatively short since a lot of them would be released as 'singles' on 45 RPM records.

Check out Bernadette by the Four Tops.

❤❤❤❤

The Rolling Stones covered this--and the critics creamed them for it! But I love both versions!

Classic.

Will keep asking - Stones, Mick Taylor era, Sway or live Gimme Shelter- 1972 Philly - please

Not sure which Temps songs you've done yet, but if you haven't, check out Papa Was a Rolling Stone. Get the studio 12 minute version. SO amazing.

Have done that one 😊

Classic

Is there a happier song in existence?

This is the ultimate Motown song everyone knows. But there is so much more to Motown than just one or two sounds that old people have forgotten and young people don't know. the Supremes were the most popular and top selling act of Motown of the 1960's. Right behind the Beatles.

Now this is music!! We really need todays artists to look back into the past and try to emulate some of the great sounds that came from back in the day. Stop with the auto tune and all the other studio gadgets and let the rawness show. I guarantee it will pay off big to whichever artist does it. (From the ones that have the talent and there are a few around)

Funk Bros !!!!!

They don’t get enough credit, do they. The backbone or heart beat of Motown. ❤

Another temptation song you might like is beauty is only skin deep

Doesn't sound like the clearest version of this song. Do yourself a favor and find one that's more pristine. This song is perfection.

This song sounded great!

David Ruffin had such a smooth, silky voice, to me the Temps weren't as good without him, one song that didn't get much play over the years is Beauty's Only Skin Deep
