The Temptations - My Girl (1965) | Live on Shindig

Welcome to another #TemptingTuesday, Temptations fans! Today I'm gonna share with you this classic performance of @thetemptationsofficial performing their #1 hit song "My Girl" live on a TV show called "Shindig" in February 1965.

Fun fact: Did you know that this was one of the Temptations first ever live televised performances? Yes, this and their performance on "Teen Town," which they also performed the same song were one of their first out of many television appearances ever! Temptations Forever.

• 📽February 1965, Shindig
