This is pretty rare. Performed in the U.K. and without Eddie Kendricks!

That is an incredible performance even though Eddie is sorely missed and we get another opportunity to see what a dullard Otis was as a vocalist, but still they do a great job!

thank you for this wonderful nugget

I wouldn’t call it rare it’s been on YouTube for years . But I do like how they handled it without Eddie. If I’m correct for this TOTP appearance , Eddie was under the weather and couldn’t perform

I just saw that it was uploaded today. I've seen still pictures of this performance back in the 80s. This gives me hope that other old TOTP performances survive on tape.

Great find-thanks for sharing Marv2. The Tempts handle this classic well [[even with one man short).

You are welcome Motown Eddie. It also illustrates Otis' mindset that no one member was greater than the group. I immediately missed seeing Eddie Kendricks when I first saw this clip, but they covered his parts and kept it moving. When I think about it, that is what The Temptations have done for decades.
