David Ruffin took took 'em all to church as usual! When he hit that high note Diana became his student because she couldn't match him. Mary and Cindy were beautiful and all of the Tempts handsome.🙏

[s.c.s.i.]

David Ruffin sang "Stop in the Name of Love" like it was his own. Dude literally made it his own.

The amount of talent on this stage at this time in history was remarkable.

Eddie singing Baby Love is just like it was meant for him.

[amirc]

It’s not like Diana even sang badly... David is just David, had one of the best and most unique voices of all time

[KiddGoneCrazy]

Everytime David sings I’m reminded of why ain’t NOBODY come to see Otis 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[JoshuaSkummer]

Anyone else get the chills watching this?

[jdiggz]

Incredible that people back then just turned on their TV on a week night and got something incredible like this.

4:17 I love it when Melvin joined Mary and Cindy in gettin down!

[valritz]

I don't care what berry changed. David Ruffin took it home. R.I.P David & Eddie !!

[jamiegumm]

Pay attention to the Temps moves in the background. Dudes were just plain badass!

[tonil.]

The great David Ruffin. My aunt always told me, "A woman cannot fight a man in a head to head. You have to go about it a different way." David waited until the end and blew it the h*ll out of the park. IJS.

[FallacyAsPraxis]

Diana and Otis are the only two left. These were among the OGs of pop and R&B...an entire era almost completely gone.

[aaronmack]

Diana did get ready great, but David doing stop in the name of love would've been a hit. Man that brother was amazing. Imagine if he didn't derail his career.

[TKE_A_BREATH]

David mfn Ruffin... bruh, such a soulful voice, his screams are legendary to me.

[ceeceetracey]

David's scream at 4:07 and then the Tempts start "happy dancing" in the back. PRICELESS

[alanrobertson]

Nobody can touch Ruff in my opinion he's the greatest male vocalist I've ever
