MY GIRL (SMHTP ACOUSTIC VERSION)

The Temptations

Song details - "My Girl" From the album Anthology [1973]

When Bob Dylan anointed Smokey Robinson "the greatest living poet," it was undoubtedly records like the Temptations' 1964 smash "My Girl" he had in mind. Arguably the most unabashedly romantic moment in the Motown canon, its simple yet exquisitely graceful metaphors ("I've got so much honey, the bees envy me") and sublime melody add up to one of the most blissful love songs ever created. Propelled by a signature James Jamerson bass riff, "My Girl" is so perfectly constructed from its sun-kissed string arrangements down to its finger-popping rhythm that almost anyone could have sung it, which only makes the scene-stealing vocals of David Ruffin that much more remarkable. A sweeter song than the birds in the trees, indeed.
