Three amazing songs from The Temptations!

Who knows what people will listen to in 2050?  Rock? Pop? Country?

My guess is that some kid in the future will be listening to the music of The Temptations. 

I don't know whether it will be a CD, I-Pod or whatever they have around at the time.

Nevertheless, he will find their music appealing, enjoy their incredible harmonies and think about his favorite girl when he hears one of their songs.

It's hard to talk about popular music without adding a note about The Temptations.  They are the best group that came out of Detroit in the golden age of Motown.  They were great and a delight to listen to!

Check out "Since I lost my baby":


"The sun is shining, there's plenty of light (oh yeah)
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright (oh yeah)
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
Next time I'll be kinder (Next time I'll be kinder)
Won't you please help me find her (Won't you please help me find her)
Someone just remind her (Someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her (Of this love she left behind her)
Till I find her I'll be trying to (Till I find her I'll be trying to)
Everyday I'm more inclined to Find her Inclined to Find her
Inclined to find my baby Been looking everywhere (ba--by)
Baby, I really, really care!
Oh, determination is fading fast (oh yeah)
Expiration is a thing of the past (oh yeah)
Can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
I feel so bad (since I lost my baby) I feel so sad (since I lost my baby)
Everything is wrong This heart is hard to carry on (since I lost my baby)
I'm lost as can be (since I lost my baby)
What's gonna happen to me?...

Check out "You're my everything":


"You surely must know magic girl Cause you changed my life
It was dull and ordinary But you made it sunny and bright
Now, I was blessed the day I found you
Gonna build my whole world around you
You're everything good girl and you're all that matters to me
When my way was dark and troubles were near
Your love provided the light so I could see girl
Just knowing your love was near when times were bad
Kept the world from closing in on me girl
I was blessed the day I found you
Gonna build my whole world around you
You're everything good girl and you're all that matters to me
Baby, you're part of every thought I think each day
Your name is in every phrase my lips sing
Every dream I dream is about you
Honey I can't live without you (baby), baby (baby), baby
You're my everything, you're my everything, yes you are
(Don't you know you're my everything)
You're the girl I sing about in every love song I sing
(You're my everything)
You're my winter baby, my summer, my fall and spring
(You're my everything)
Now I was blessed the day I found you
Gonna build my whole world around you
You're everything good girl and you're all that matters to me
You're my everything, you're my everything, yes you are
(Don't you know you're my everything)
You're my everything, you're my everything
(Don't you know you're my everything)
You're my everything, you're my everything
You're my everything, you're my everything....

Check out "My girl", a song that will survive 1,000 years:


"I got sunshine, On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside, I've got the month of may.
I guess you'd say, What can make me feel this way?
my girl, my girl, my girl. Talkin' 'bout my girl. My girl!
I've got so much honey, The bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song, Than the birds in the trees.
Well, I guess you'd say, What can make me feel this way?
My girl My girl Talkin' about my girl
I don't need no money, Fortune or fame.
I got all the riches baby, One man can claim.
Well, I guess you'd say, What can make me feel this way?
My girl My girl Talking about my girl
I got sunshine on a cloudy day
I've even got the month of may with my girl....."
