Singing karaoke to “My Girl” with my son Miles for my daughter Luisa’s birthday

Last night, I sang my first-ever karaoke, a duet with my son Miles of Smokey Robinson's song "My Girl", first recorded by The Temptations in 1964. We sang this song recorded shortly after I was born not in honor of my birth but in honor of my daughter Luisa's birthday.

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day…

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, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl, my girl

The Temptin' Temptations is the third studio album by the Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label released in 1965.

"Since I Lost My Baby", a heartbroken ballad exemplary of Smokey Robinson's work, features David Ruffin on lead vocals, pining away for a lost lover even though the world around him is a relative nirvana. Longing and melancholy, "Since I Lost My Baby" (written by Robinson & fellow Miracle Pete Moore) tells a story about the pain of losing a lover. Temptations lead singer David Ruffin paints a picture as the song's narrator of an idyllic world where he has everything anyone could ask for, except for love... - Wikipedia

The Temptations Sing Smokey is the second studio album by the Temptations for the Motown label, released on the Gordy Records subsidiary (G 912) in 1965. As its name implies, it is composed entirely of songs written and produced by Smokey Robinson, and several other members of the Miracles as well.

Several of the songs are covers of songs Robinson produced for the Miracles or Mary Wells, while the rest were originally recorded by The Temptations. Among these are three successful hit singles, starting with "The Way You Do the Things You Do", which featured Eddie Kendricks on lead vocals. The next two songs feature lead vocals by new Temptation David Ruffin – "It's Growing" and the group's signature song, "My Girl". - Wikipedia

Meet the Temptations is the debut studio album by the Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label released in 1964.

Review by Bruce Eder

The Temptations' first LP, released three years into the group's history with Motown, is also a great record, even though it wasn't really an album so much as a collection of their early singles, hooked around their then new hit, "The Way You Do the Things You Do." Those expecting the classic Temptations sound should also be aware that David Ruffin is absent from all of the tracks except "The Way You Do the Things You Do," which was cut just after he joined, replacing Elbridge "Al" Bryant. The LP represents the evolution of the act and its sound, as well as a succession of producers...
