As this legendary group nears it's-60th year,I just thought I'd throw this out for you fans,is it the smooth tenor of Eddie Kendricks-The deep bottom of Melvin Franklin-The soulful Paul Williams-the powerful David Ruffin-the cool Otis Williams-the almost gospel sound of Dennis Edwards or the slick soul of Richard Street,whom ever you choose you can't miss with this legendary group!
An interesting thread, Vinylman. It's not often a question like this is asked.
For me it's got to be David Ruffin because 'My Girl' is my favourite Motown song of all-time. Ruffin oozes soul on this and knocks the socks off Otis Redding's far less sumptuous cover version. Just sheer class.
Written by Smokey Robinson, My Girl was a huge No.1 hit when it was released but didn't even chart in the UK (a lowly No.43). Can you believe it?
