Ernie's sax holds the Hampton live version together. Keith is all hit and miss. Sometimes unbearable to listen to on solos. And don't forget Bill's bass.

Out of curiousity, what makes you say that? IMO, he plays brilliantly. Some insane licks in there. And the interplay with Ronnie (and Ernie) is exceptional.

He plays great rhythm guitar and great licks on and off. I know his idiosyncratic style so I appreciate much of his playing. It's some of his solos I have a problem with. That is where Ernie comes in and fills the gap. Keith talked a lot about Chuck Berry winging it. I think that is sometimes a good word to sum up some of Keith's solos. Sometimes off beat, un-melodic and repetitive. You're a guitar player, Dandy. Do you not hear these things? Or is there something wrong with my ears?

Better than the original? That, my friend, is impossible. We're talking about the Temps here.
I note the Rolling Stones covered three Temps songs: My Girl, Ain't Too Proud to Beg, and Just My Imagination. They have good taste in music.
