Today we got a sound from the Motor City! That's right, we're talkin' about the fabulous Temptations and their smash, "The Way You Do the Things You Do"!
This was the big one, the shot heard 'round the world that put the Tempts on the map! Penned by the poetic genius himself, Smokey Robinson, along with his Miracle-mate Bobby Rogers, this tune is so smooth.
Before this, those boys were hustlin'. But this record? **BAM!** It shot right up the charts, bustin' into the Top 20 and sittin' pretty at number eleven! It went all the way to the top, numero uno!
But the wildest part? This song's got legs! It's been a hit in four... count 'em, **FOUR**... different decades! From the swinging 60s right through to the 90s! It's that timeless!
Everybody wanted a piece of this action. Hall & Oates cut a version with the Tempts' own Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin that nearly snagged a Grammy! And then, dig this, a cool reggae crew from across the pond called UB40 took it and made it a smash all over again!
So there you have it! A stone gas of a song that just won't quit! It's the Temptations with "The Way You Do the Things You Do"! This one's for all you lovers out there! Keep the record spinning. Don’t let go of that tune.
You’re listening to Soul POD Classics. I’m your host, Gail Nobles.
