because Kendricks and Ruffin were back. It really didn't ever feel like the Tempts w/o those two to me. I think just seeing that as a kid kind of tied things together for me... because I knew of the group very lightly through certain songs that were still very much part of the "conversation" through their use in films, commercials, TV appearances, etc.
So when I hear "Standing on the Top", and sometime later, saw that video it was probably the coolest thing ever, LOL
someone of Rick's stature giving "back" like that was a huge deal too.
