From The Closet: The Temptations

temptations1We know everyone here is familiar with The Temptations but we couldn’t resist throwing one of their tracks your way for our From the Closet this week.  The track we’re jamming is “(I Know) I’m Losing You” which was originally released in 1966 during the height of the groups success.  Take note of the remarkable vocals from the band’s most famous lead singer David Ruffin who sometimes doesn’t get the respect he obviously deserves.  Catch a video of The Temptations performing this song live along with The Supremes and you’ll see what we’re talking about.
