Whenever someone talks about Temptations music,Classic,Ruffin-era,Psychedelic -era,etc Since I Lost My Baby is hardly mentioned . Are there any other Tempts songs that fall into this profile ?

I would think a song that jumps out at me right off the bat is ALL I NEED

(Loneliness Made me Realize) It's You That I Need. And "Its Growing". I have a hard time coming up with an under-rated song because I listen to all of them all the time and seldom bother with the radio these days  . But I don't think that gets any airplay. When I AM within hearing distance of a radio, seems like all I hear is "The Way You Do...", "Just My Imagination...", "My Girl" of course, and "Get Ready". |

These weren't singles, but should have been.
"Just Another Lonely Night" and "Little Miss Sweetness."
I heard "...Lonely Night" got air play though.

Are we talking about JUST that era? I'd definately add "Cindy" to the list.

ivory posted a link about 8 months or 10 months ago which was a 1988 interview with otis after his book came out and he says since i lost my baby was one of his very favorite songs. he also said david did a great job and otis said he sang second tenor singing backup with eddie. otis commented that he thought since i lost my baby sounded like a song for a movie intro.
i just like it alot.

"Since I Lost My Baby" is one of the true monuments to the Funk Brothers' rhythmic capabilities, and the Temptations' harmony sounds extra sweet, and the lead is perfect. So yeah, to call that song underrated is right on the money.
I also think "Who You Gonna Run To" could have been an R&B hit if released as an A-Side.

I don't hear a lot of Temptations lesser known but released songs played around here. I can't begin to tell y'all how excited I was when I heard "Don't Look Back" on the radio for the first time. I had gone to Chick-Fil-A, had parked and everything, and stayed in the car just to hear it.

Don't hear much of that masterpiece "You're My Everything", either. Everybody does know that Cornelius Grant had a hand in writing that, don't they?
