What 1966 song by The Temptations features the line "I know you're gonna miss me"?

What 1966 song by The Temptations features the line “I know you’re gonna miss me”? The answer is “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg.”

The Temptations released the song for Motown’s Gordy label in 1966, with David Ruffin singing lead. Norman Whitfield produced it and co-wrote it with Eddie Holland. Its pleading lyric and urgent vocal performance made it a defining example of mid-1960s Motown soul.

The single reached No. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart for eight non-consecutive weeks and No. 13 on the pop chart. Its success also changed the group’s creative direction: Whitfield became the Temptations’ main producer, gradually moving them toward a harder-edged sound that later developed into psychedelic soul.

Listeners sometimes confuse it with other Temptations hits such as “Get Ready,” “The Way You Do the Things You Do,” or “Cloud Nine.” “Get Ready” was also a 1966 single, but it was produced by Smokey Robinson and featured Eddie Kendricks on lead rather than Ruffin.
