  • "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)" is a single recorded by the Temptations and released on Motown Records' Gordy label during the spring of 1968. The song is the last with lyrics by Rodger Penzabene, and as the final Temptations single to feature David Ruffin as lead singer. Both "I Could Never Love Another" and the previous Temptations release, "I Wish It Would Rain", drew from Penzabene's real-life heart break over learning that his wife had been unfaithful. Unable to handle the extreme pain and unable to leave his wife, he wrote the songs as personal statements to her, publicizing the pain she caused him. After both songs were completed and recorded, Penzabene committed suicide. David Ruffin portrays the narrator of "I Could Never Love Another", who asks his wife why she is suddenly ending their relationship after all their years together and all her proclamations of love. He then tells her that despite her infidelity, despite all the pain she's caused him, he'll never find love with another woman. "I Could Never Love Another" proved to be Ruffin's final performance as lead singer on a Temptations single, as Ruffin was fired from the group in June 1968 for what was considered increasingly unprofessional behavior and ego clashes. "I Could Never Love Another" was the second single from the 1968 album The Temptations Wish It Would Rain. It peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and reached the number-one position on the Billboard R&B Singles chart. Following one more single from the LP, the Eddie Kendricks-led "Please Return Your Love to Me", the Temptations forged ahead into psychedelic soul territory with their new single, "Cloud Nine", and their new lead singer, Dennis Edwards. Billboard described the single as "another sure-fire winner." Cash Box described it as "pop-styled blues" with "outstanding lead, delightful backup vocals and a terrific orchestral impact." (en)
  • "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)" is een hitsingle, alhoewel opgenomen in 1967, uit 1968 van de Amerikaanse Motown groep The Temptations. Het is de tweede single afkomstig van hun album "The Temptations Wish It Would Rain". "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)" zou het laatste nummer van The Temptations zijn waarop David Ruffin lead zingt en waar schrijver aan mee zou schrijven. David Ruffin zong wel nog mee op het volgende nummer van de groep, "Please Return Your Love To Me", maar daar zong Eddie Kendricks lead op. Ruffin moest de groep verlaten, nadat de overige leden unaniem hadden gestemd dat zijn gedrag niet langer door de beugel kon. Zo kwam hij tegen die tijd vaak te laat bij optredens en gedroeg hij zich onprofessioneel. Ook werd hij te egoïstisch, wat niet getolereerd werd binnen The Temptations die bekendstonden om hun eenheid. Ruffins vervanger werd de ex-zanger van The Contours, Dennis Edwards. "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)" was het laatste nummer waar Roger Penzabene aan mee zou schrijven. Hij schreef ook al mee aan de voorganger "I Wish It Would Rain". Beide nummers werden geschreven toen Penzabene erachter kwam dat zijn vrouw overspel pleegde en dat hij ondanks dat van haar bleef houden. Samen met "I Wish It Would Rain" is dit een van de weinige Motown liedjes die puur uit het hart geschreven is. Toen "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)" en "I Wish It Would Rain" allebei opgenomen waren, pleegde Penzabene op oudejaarsavond zelfmoord, omdat hij te depressief was geworden. Het onderwerp van "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)" specifiek is dat de verteller niet weet waarom zijn vrouw hem verlaat na jaren samen te zijn. Hij vertelt haar ook dat, ondanks alle pijn die zij bij hem veroorzaakt heeft, hij nooit liefde bij een andere vrouw zou kunnen vinden, omdat hij te veel van haar houdt. "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)" was een groot succes. Het behaalde #13 op de poplijst en, net als vele andere nummers van The Temptations, de #1 positie op de R&B lijst. Het was een van de laatste nummers van The Temptations in de traditionele liefdesliedjesstijl van Motown in de hoogtij dagen van hun carrière. De B-kant van het nummer, "", is een cover van de broer van leadzanger David Ruffin, Jimmy Ruffin. Het nummer werd ook onder andere nog opgenomen door met The Funk Brothers en door Marvin Gaye. (nl)
