Hi RichyP careful what you say about Corry St otherwise Marv will get upset lol,
Oh How Happy - Edwin Starr and Blinky
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OtYTrMKOyM
LOL, I didn't know afternoon soap operas from the UK were so popular in America!
Love "Oh, How Happy" so much... especially this version by The Jackson Five which might be my favourite...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AT9AghN410&app=desktop
And there's this delightful version by none other than Billy Eckstine, and produced by Norman Whitfield!!!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0Urtrdxlnw&app=desktop
Which reminds me of this absolutely FANTASTIC song by Billy while at Motown... so amazing...

Thank Heavens for birth control when this one came out!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNNCNCuCfv0
This was an album cut from the Temptations Lp, "Gettin' Ready" but I use to play it years ago. The Temptations Not Now I'll Tell You Later [[featuring the Original Supremes):

This one is actually Martha Reeves and the Vandellas backed by the Four Tops.
"My Baby Loves Me"- Martha Reeves and The Vandellas - 1966

Now although this next cut was extremely popular back when it was released in the Fall of 1969, I have not heard it in public since 2009 when they played it for my birthday at a club in New York. Jackson Five and "I Want You Back"

This was a big hit for Tavares in 1974-75, but the Four Tops do a great job with it also. "Remember What I Told You to Forget"

One of their greatest recordings of the 80s that you just don't hear anymore, anywhere.......The Four Tops-"Tonight I'm Gonna Love You All Over"

Wow! I didn't know that Billy sang that song. Not bad at all!
Eddie Kendricks "He's A Friend"

I wish I could do this sometimes
Eddie Kendricks at his best

His follow up, "Going up In Smoke" had religious undertones to it also, but was a lot more urgent. Here's another one of my favorites of Eddies that was from a few years earlier in 1974:

One of the Commodores best songs........."Sweet Love' from late 1975:

How about this one showcasing the great Paul Williams

Or this one featuring Eddie

Yes I always have liked this recording. To me, Paul Williams was the sharpest and perhaps the most versatile of the early Temptations. "Mr. Entertainment" would have been a perfect nickname for him. He knew how to work the stage as well as he could sing. He emotes with the best of them when putting a song across.

One of the most fun of the Motown people I ever met. MARV JOHNSON - "I LOVE THE WAY YOU LOVE" from 1960:

Now I love Paul Williams on this lead

Getting to be a Temptations fest! here's another

Yvonne sho got the funk

Whilst this fantastic song and performance was a moderate hit in the UK it does seem to have been largely overlooked. This is such a shame as the lead singers put in such a strong performance. I also wonder why it was not an A-side in the USA?
