Repost because goddamn! Is there a better Temptations tune?

And before the Polack MSgt takes me to task, you're wrong dude. Great Googamooga is in the lyrics! 'Nuff said brother! (caveat: he's turned me onto more great music than anyone here except maybe Mr. lebowski and his opinion is totally appreciated! Just trying to get your goat baby! You gots all me love, man. )

Ball Of Confusion



Truth be told, I'm looking forward to his letting me know I'm wrong. If he's gotta number better than this? I soooooo wanna be schooled!

But still can't touch Ball Of Confusion.

Of course, it boils down to what's in the eye of the beholder, yeah?

Regardless, great tune appreciate you're posting it!

World treating you awright Randy? Been a minute since we spoke....

I see me not being here at all once it really starts up. As much as I love this place, as much as this is my online family.... I ain't getting sucked into it this time around.

right up there too—very haunting. Also you can't go wrong with the classic "My Girl."

I got to a place in my life that the song was more important than just my vocals, dig? When you're doing 4 part harmonies you've gotta tone down your own style. The Temptations are the fucking pinnacle of a vocal group! I will always be thankful for that CSNY experience for opening my knowledge to this fact.

Great tune sister! Mucho appreciado!

Ball of confusion is badass. Some days it's my favorite Temtation song too.

The only bands who have one song stay my favorite are bands I rarely listen to.
If their in my regular rotation my "favorite song" changes quite often.

Enjoying this thread tho. Keep arguing.
