It Happened 50 Years Ago: The Temptations “My Girl”

The Temptations are one of the most successful acts in popular music history. Over the course of three decades, the Temptations landed 16 singles in the Top 10 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, four of which went to number one. Their very first Top 10 hit was also their very first number one, and it’s also one of the songs for which the group is most well known. Exactly 50 years ago, that song — “My Girl” — climbed into the number one slot for a one-week stay.
