"Dancin' in the
Streets" (David Ruffin and Eddie Kendrick)
This show is now readily
available, both on DVD and VHS. Check your local video
store, or one of the online merchants (CDNow.com or
BigStar.com.)
"This
extraordinary, never-before-aired, "lost"
concert [featuring David Ruffin and Eddie Kendrick] was
part of a road show that toured through 21 cities in the
summer of 1987. This live footage was shot at the second
concert, at the Great Western Forum in Los
Angles."-(liner notes)
"IT'S
WONDERFUL....THIS IS THE BEST CONCERT FOOTAGE we've seen
of either David or Eddie, they don't cut the songs, it's
the entire show. Wait till you hear him talking to the
audience, he does this all through their performance.
'Statue of a Fool' will have you crying, he looks/sounds
so great performing this. There is a part on 'Just my
Imagination' where David is singing "Every night on
my knees I pray" he starts out on his knees then
walks over to Eddie, they hold each other as he sings in a
soulful, crying voice, it soooo touching, keep playing it
over and over. ....NOTHING WE HAVE COMPARES WITH
THIS.....You will be speechless for days. Beg, Borrow or
steal a DVD player, buy this now."- "lovethevoices"

Here is a
message from Street Gold: "Just
to be clear for everyone...The Video Street Gold...The
Original Leads of the Temptations with a special tribute
to David Ruffin & Eddie Kendrick...is still in print
but back ordered. Anyone reselling it on the internet is
breaking the law. And hurting the families who produced
it...like the Kendrick & Ruffin Family... "
" It
combines the temptation music, history and personal
recollections from David, Eddie, and Dennis in a
memorable documentary of the original leads of the
temptations. It also includes interviews with Daryl
Hall, Damon Harris, the Dramatics, Mary Wilson, Stevie
Wonder, and Barrett Strong. The tape is $1.00 less if
you mention the David Ruffin bb- cost $24.00 per david
tucker @ street gold. The tape is a must for temptation
fans! The procedure for ordering street gold is to send
a $24 check to street gold, attn: david tucker . . .
They take personal checks."" –reminds Glenn
"It is a
92 minute tribute to David and Eddie Kendricks in their
later years. It is riveting and emotional and filled
with music and interviews with David and Eddie."
–raves "Artist One"
" . . .
The Street Gold Video is a special tribute to Eddie,
David, & Dennis. And it shows interviews &
concerts. It’s a nice video to have."

"Motown Presents
the Temps and the Tops" (various Tempts' members)
(Out of Print)
"Jonel" says ".
. .. it is a print of the video that was done on them for
Showtime and was hosted by Stevie Wonder. The nice thing
about it is that it includes a lot of video footage of both
the classic and current Tempts and has performances by
Ali-Ollie Woodson (Treat Her Like A Lady & Lady
Soul--includes segment with Cholly Atkins), Richard Street
(Higher and Higher). Also has some great footage of
"Standing on the Top" from the Reunion tour. It
lasts an hour with the first 30 minutes devoted to the Four
Tops (I'm a devoted Tops fan too) and the second half, The
Temptations. It has that segment from the Motown 25 special
where the Tempts and Tops battle it out. It's one of my
favorite videos. If you have a chance to get it, I
wholeheartedly recommend it."
The Tempts perform a medley
of "My Girl" and "Losing You." They are
a little too happy during "Losing You," but they
still a good job (but what else would you expect.)

Here is a little note
about Music Video Distributors from Addie: "Regarding
the Music Video Distributors 610-650-8200 from
Norristown, PA: They used to keep the Dick Clark Vol. 2
Golden Greats video's in stock but don't anymore do to
low demand (haha, not anymore guys). However, They order
them special for you, and there's about a 2-4 week wait,
but they definitely can get them so put in your orders
now. They're $20 plus $4.95 shipping, so if you can get
them cheaper and faster somewhere else, do it, but it's
not available in many places anymore so get 'em while
they're still around. It's a great performance, lip sync
or not."
"The
section on 60's soul features: 4 tops-baby I need your
lovin (b/w), rare earth-get ready, Marvin Gaye-ain't
that peculiar (b/w), Smokey-just to see her and the
Tempt's ain't to proud to be (in color) the process hair
style is out and the lime green suits are in!!! As dick
states they are "poetry in motion"- all are
smiling and moving great- esp David & Paul, It's
worth it for the dance steps-circa 1966."-glenn

"The video
with the Tempt's singing my girl (w/David) is called
"motor city magic" and costs about 8.99 plus
shipping. I got mine in about 10 days from amazon last
fall-before the mini series. Also on the tape are: jr
walker-shotgun, Supremes-stop in the name of love, four
tops-same old song, Martha & the Vandellas-nowhere to
run, Smokey & the miracles-you've really got a hold on
me, Mary wells- my guy, blossoms-dancing in the streets, and
Marvin w/ can't I get a witness & how sweet it is. The
tape is about 30 min long & in b/w. For 8.99 you can't
go wrong." glenn
