"Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)" is a 1964 hit single by The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label. It was the group's first A-side release to be produced by Norman Whitfield, who co-wrote the song with Edward Holland, Jr. of the Holland-Dozier-Holland songwriting team. With Eddie Kendricks singing lead for the third single in a row, it peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop charts in the top 30 at number 26. Cash Box described the single as "a bright, shuffle-rock handclapping thumper" with a "very commercial 'Detroit' sound."

  • Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue) is een single van de Amerikaanse Motown-groep The Temptations. Het nummer werd uitgebracht op 20 augustus 1964, maar verscheen pas een jaar later op een album, namelijk The Temptin' Temptations. Het kwam niet op de voorganger van dat album, The Temptations Sing Smokey, omdat het nummer niet door Smokey Robinson geschreven was, maar door Norman Whitfield in samenwerking met Eddie Holland, bekend van Holland-Dozier-Holland. Het was overigens de eerste single van The Temptations die geschreven werd door Norman Whitfield. De groep moest nog twee jaar wachten, tot Ain't Too Proud to Beg, voordat er weer samengewerkt werd met Whitfield. Na dat nummer waren overigens wel bijna alle singles van de groep geschreven door hem. (nl)
