abstract	%22Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)%22 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.As the narrator of the up-tempo song, Kendricks tells his girl %22I love you, girl, with all my heart and soul/ I can't understand why you treat me cold%22, and now his %22heart feels the pain%22 cause by her mistreatment of him. This single would be Kendricks' last as lead on an A-side until %22Get Ready%22 in 1966, and the last for Whitfield as producer until %22Ain't Too Proud to Beg%22 (due to it missing the pop chart's top 20).The next Temptations single, %22My Girl%22, would be the first to feature David Ruffin as lead and would be produced by Smokey Robinson. Ruffin, up to this point, had only sung lead on stage and on a few unreleased tracks, otherwise singing backgrounds behind Kendricks and then main lead singer Paul Williams. When %22My Girl%22 hit number 1 on the R&B and Pop charts in 1965, it signaled the continuing of Robinson as the group’s main producer, and the start of Ruffin's run as The Temptations' main lead singer.
