You've Been Tempted By That Tune... But Who Sang "My Girl"?

The Answer, Unveiled (cue dramatic music)
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
Those smooth, unforgettable voices belong to none other than The Temptations, a legendary Detroit-born vocal group. They may have been looking for sunshine after the rain (see what I did there?), but with "My Girl," they found a permanent place in music history.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.

Tempted by Trivia?
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
Here's a little more info to impress your friends (or win bar trivia night):
- "My Girl" wasn't just a hit, it was a number one smash on both the pop and R&B charts in 1965.
- The song was written by the talented Smokey Robinson of The Miracles, another Motown great. Maybe he was channeling his own sweet feelings for his wife, Miracles member Claudette Rogers Robinson?
- "My Girl" became the Temptations' signature song, forever linked to their smooth harmonies and electrifying stage presence.
Now that you know, spread the word! Belt out "My Girl" in the shower, air guitar included. But be warned, you might just find yourself inexplicably drawn to Detroit with a sudden urge to visit Hitsville U.S.A. (the former Motown headquarters).
