Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:The Temptations
Song:Ain't Too Proud To Beg
Album:Anthology




Of course The Temptations are one of the greatest vocal groups in pop music history and were a tentpole of the Motown Sound. They were actually a merger of two Detroit doo wop groups and then Otis Williams brought Eddie Kendricks & David Ruffin into the group. Smokey Robinson wrote & produced a lot of their hits but Ain't Too Proud To Beg was written & produced by Eddie Holland & Norman Whitfield. Ruffin delivers a great lead vocal. I believe the 2CD Anthology is now out of print but there are plenty of Temptations comps available including the 5CD box set Emperors Of Soul. I have that one.
