Temptations Performing “My Girl” Proves Why They’re One Of Motown’s Greatest

Love songs are hardly few and far between, and everyone has a favorite. But among the most timeless ballads of celebrated love is "My Girl" by the Temptations, a hit that's managed to stand the test of time even some 50 years after it topped charts nationwide.

As evidence, this year a wedding video went viral for its ode to the timeless classic. During the post-wedding reception, a groom and his groomsmen put on a performance for the ages and wooed his lady in white with a choreographed performance of the 1965 single.

As for the "girl" in question, we've speculated before on the identity of the muse who inspired the song. As the song was originally written/produced by Smokey Robinson and Ronald White of The Miracles, LittleThings writer Todd Briscoe reported earlier that the song may have been about Smokey’s wife and fellow member of The Miracles, Claudette Rogers Robinson. (Making it all the more magical, if we're being honest.)

Below, see the the Temptations themselves breath new life into their single during one of their last performances of the hit at The Forum in Los Angeles, a 7-minute live adaptation that serves as a reminder of the timelessness of some of Motown's greatest talents.
