"My Girl"- The Temptations Reunion Live Audio / Painters Mill 1982

The Temptations Reunion - My Girl - Led by David Ruffin!
Today, June 11, is Glenn Leonard's birthday! Glenn is a part of my personal favorite lineup of the Temptations, and is one of my favorite singers. This recording is super special as it features quite a bit of him and David Ruffin performing together. They were in the group during very different times, so it's a good thing this rare performance was captured. Stick around to the very end!
Audio from the Temptations Reunion performing in Painters Mill, MD.
Seems to be recorded on June 10th, 1982.

This video took tens of hours, it certainly is the video I've put the most work into yet. I've wanted to do this one for more than a year now but after my first year in college for broadcast, here it is! Mostly on time for Glenn Leonards birthday.
With it being Glenn's birthday, I hope some more people also check out his vocals with "The True Reflection", which he was a part of before the Temptations. Glenn has also released one album solo, and still performs with his group today.
He has a website with CDs and such you can order and he'll sign! I've gotten mine and it's fantastic, everyone was very nice. I hope to get to see him perform sometime, please go check out his stuff!
