"Cloud Nine" & "I Can't Get Next To You" (Louis Price) The Temptations Live / Soundstage 1979

The Temptations perform "Cloud Nine" and "I Can't Get Next To You" with their lead at the time, Louis Price, live on Soundstage. This is the only recording of "I Can't Get Next To You" featuring Louis Price as far as I know! Let me know if you know differently. Video & audio slightly edited by me. I put the audio through a compressor and a low pass filter to remove the white noise. ~ Information about the original songs & releases. ~ *"CLOUD NINE"* (Barrett Strong-Norman Whitfield) published Jobete 09-Dec-68 B-side - "Why Did She Have to Leave Me (Why Did She Have to Go)" 1969 Grammy Award Winner: Best Rhythm & Blues Group Performance, Vocal or Instrumental. *Information from "Don't Forget the Motor City" archive* The Temptations; recorded Hitsville-GW, completed 02-Oct-68 ; produced by Norman Whitfield ; [lead Dennis Edwards/Paul Williams/Eddie Kendricks] 25-Oct-68; 45 (M): Gordy G 7081 A (The single) 17-Feb-69; LP (S): Gordy S939 Cloud Nine (The album) ~ *"I CAN'T GET NEXT TO YOU"* (Barrett Strong-Norman Whitfield), published Jobete 29-Jul-69 (Instrumental by the Funk Brothers) alt title: So Glad I Found You B-side- "Running Away (Ain't Gonna Help You)" (lead Paul Williams) No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (for two weeks) & the Billboard Top R&B Singles chart (for five weeks). *Information from "Don't Forget the Motor City" archive* The Temptations; recorded Hitsville-GW, completed 03-Jul-69 ; produced by Norman Whitfield ; [lead Dennis Edwards/Paul Williams/Eddie Kendricks] 30-Jul-69; 45 (M): Gordy G 7093 A (The single) 23-Sep-69; LP (S): Gordy S949 Puzzle People (The album) ~ Thanks for watching!
