The Temptations went to the top of the singles chart with the Smokey
Robinson penned "My Girl", making the group the first male act to have
a chart topper for Motown Records, the first single to feature David Ruffin
on lead vocals and the group’s first number-one hit. It became the groups
signature song. In 2004, "My Girl" was ranked number 88 on Rolling Stone ‘​s
list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

Tune Trivia: The Miracles were originally picked to record the song.

The signature guitar riff heard during the
introduction and under the verses was
played by Robert White (above) of the
Funk Brothers.
