🎶 The Temptations’ “My Girl” – Motown’s First Male No.1! 🎤🔥

🎙️ 🎶 Motown magic! On this day in 1965, The Temptations scored their first No.1 hit with My Girl, written by the legendary Smokey Robinson. This song wasn’t just a hit—it changed history, making them the first male act to top the US charts for Motown Records.

Though it only hit No.43 in the UK, the song got a second wind in 1992, climbing to No.2 and cementing its status as a timeless soul classic.

[terryhazelett]

The best. My baby was born in 1989 and I sang it to her all the time. I just recently saw a father daughter dance at a wedding to My Girl. Timeless.

[RuthShultz]

My favourite song when I was a girl in the 1960s! despite being a big Beatles fan at the same time.

[horacecrawford]

One of the most perfect songs of all time.

[PaulFreitag-ou]

These guys were on the Ed Sullivan show at least five times. Great songs.

[trommelbiel]

I miss those days. I was a young boy in Nigeria. Best memories.

[LonneLou]

That kind of talent has never been duplicated to this day.

[GregDaniels-pf]

A ton of great Motown songs but "My Girl" is very special! Written and produced by the great Smokey Robinson, one of if not the greatest group of all time Temptations, my special song for my daughter, absolutely love "My Girl!" Iconic is certainly right!!!

[TerryThurman-uzdw]

It's growing, is one of my all time favorite ❤❤❤😅😅

[JoanJohnson-mw]

Did not understand the words at such a young age. I was mesmerized by his voice

[deborahwalsh]

EDDIE, K YOUR Voice IS MISSED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

[stephenhamel]

Ruffin was & still is one of the best

[conradford]

It's iconic. However, Ain't no mountain is such feel good song. That's the one I would choose.

[JoanJohnson-mw]

Marvelous Marvin Heard It Through The Grape Vine

[dammitmandy]

I really really wish that other than Otis, of the classic 5 had written a book. We have one side of a 5 sided dice

[AlfredoQuinones-vh]

Nono no no the signature song was smokey robinson Tracks of my Tears get it right brother 🎶🎵🏆

[bustabass]

One of the best from the Classic Five. I actually I like It's Growing, another Smokey composition better than My Girl.

[Braniff]

I prefer Can't Get Next to You as my pick.

[aboveusall]

The only Motown song that I think that could equal My Girl would be Marvin Gaye Whats Going On.
