Hey Molly! I love that routine by the Classic Five! ;D My favorite part is when David sings "My FRIENDS ask what do I see in you..." & at the same time, takes off his glasses! LOL! I wish that routine was in color so we could see what color glasses David was wearing. Did you notice that David's glasses always coordinated with his outfits?

Oh, yeah, Ruff was a real showman! ;D Always adding that extra flare to a Tempt performance! ;D The steps to "Beauty..." are innovative & we have to give props to the late Cholly Atkins for creating them. I know Get Ready is not one of your favorite Tempt songs but what did you think about the performance of this song. I love it when the guys play pattycake when Eddie & Melvin sing "Fi Fe Fo Fum...Look out ba-bay cause here I come". I get a kick out of looking at Paul's big booty sticking out. ;D I'm sure the audience got more than an eyeful! ;D BTW, I'm going to move this thread to David's Wing.

Hello Everybody :DCommon on the intro to Beauty I love that dance step where they stand and kinda wiggle. LOL!LOL! And I also like the patti-cake part. Come on now Common "Pauls Booty" sticky out. :DLOL!LOL!LOL! I also like that slide they do in the bridge of that song. Otis couldn't even master the slide part. I know you'll hook a Sista up.

That boo-tay was so obvious! ;D LOL! Thank God people of that era didn't look at THAT part of the anatomy the way we do now! ;D Tee hee hee hee! You know the Holy O couldn't master a damn thing no matter how many times he practice those steps. I never look at him unless I need some comic relief! ;D

LMAO! ;D Oooooo you naughty girls!! So yall were boo-tay watchin back then, eh? Well, excusssssse me! ;D You know, I thought about something. You know that pic that CP has in her Photos or Photos 2, where Paul is holding Flo's hand & David is behind them laffing! LOL! I was looking at the outfits & it looks like the same outfits they were in the "Beauty.." performance. They reminded me of Flamingo dancers, when I think about it. Another favorite David w/Tempts performance is Swanee. Even though their jackets make them look like waiters, the harmony on this live performance is impeccable! I always rewind this part of the tape to "hear" them blow. And Eddie? What can I say? Eddie really shows himself on this song. He sounds so effortless, he makes you think you could hit those notes! That performance blows me away everytime!

You know Molly, there was a guy who was there at the Apollo as well & remembers it happening the same way. I don't know where G/D is now, but he was a HUGE David fan & could tell you every song & performance that David did.

I wish I could talk to that brother. It was so spontaneous that was probably the only time it ever happened. David doubled over and laughed. But then he continued the song and did not miss a beat. Thank you Common. I was beginning to believe I was the only person alive that had seen it.

Hey Molly! My mom saw the Classic Five back in the day. She really wasn't 'into' music per se but she loved to go to shows. She said that she remembered how bad the Tempts were & that she said how David stood out. She said she didn't know the other group members but she remember the skinny man with the glasses!
