The Temptations
My Girl
What can you say about this multi-talented Motown group that always wore fancy clothes in concerts?
I have a special attachment to My Girl. When I was a mobile therapist I had to visit “my kids” in both their homes and schools to observe their behaviors. One Friday afternoon I went to a school to see one of my favorite kids but I was told that the whole school was in the auditorium, watching a talent show. I love watching student productions of plays and concerts. They make me feel good. So I sneaked into the darkened auditorium to watch the show; it was Friday afternoon, my work week was over, and I got to do something I like a lot.
The second act was a group of 8 11 year olds, boys and girls, mixed race, performing a very intricate dance to My Girl. These dance moves were incredible; there are no other words to describe them.
I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day/When it’s cold outside I’ve got the month of May/I guess you’ll say/ What can make me feel this way/ My girl, My girl, My girl….talkin’ ’bout my girl...
If you’re fortunate you’ve had this in your life at least once…
