"Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" is a song by American soul group The
Temptations. Released on the Gordy (Motown) label, and produced by Norman
Whitfield, it features on the group's 1971 album, Sky's the Limit. When released
as a single, "Just My Imagination" became the third Temptations song to reach
number one on the US Billboard Hot 100.
"Just My Imagination" is considered one of the Temptations' signature songs, and
is notable for recalling the sound of the group's 1960s recordings. It is also
the final Temptations single to feature founding members Eddie Kendricks and Paul
Williams.
A full orchestral arrangement with strings and French horns adorning a bluesy
rhythm track and bass line provides the instrumentals. Music critic Stephen Thomas
Erlewine of allmusic notes that the song is narrated by a man who imagines a
relationship with the woman he loves but is canny enough to realize that his
daydreams are fiction, yet is overwhelmed by them. The lyrics capture his
resignation to his fantasies. The song as a whole captures their full emotional
effect on him. The first two verses establish the theme and explore the narrator's
daydreams, in which he and the object of his affections are lovers preparing to
be married, to "raise a family" and build "a cozy little home / out in the
country / with two children, maybe three." In the bridge, the narrator prays that
he will never lose her love to another, or he will surely die." By introducing
this doubt, the musical bridge simultaneously bridges the movement from dream to
reality, completed when the final lines shift from imagery to bald statement: "But
in reality / she doesn't even know me." For Erlewine, "the Temptations'
performance has a dream-like quality, quietly drifting through the singer's hopes
and desires."[2] We must add that just as the lyrics track the movement from
dream to reality, the chorus goes on to anchor the drifting melody in a robust and
highly memorable rhythm.
"Just My Imagination" has been covered by many artists over the years,
most notably, the Rolling Stones who released it on the smash hit album
"Some Girls" and then later on their very successful live 1981
American Concert souvenir album "Still Life (1982)."
"Just My Imagination" has been performed live over the years by the
Rolling Stones on almost ever tour. It was released by the group again
on "Shine a Light."
Of particular chagrin to Stones fans was the fact that nearly half of the
12/19/81 Hampton Coliseum rendition of "Just My Imagination
(Running Away with Me)" was edited out for the "Still Life" release.
The Rolling Stones covered other Temptations songs including
"Ain't Too Proud to Beg," "My Girl" and Mick Jagger and Peter Tosh
covered "(You Gotta Walk And) Don't Look Back".
Tosh and Jagger performed the duel lead vocals originally done by
David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks.

Great interview with Theismann!
Mick actually wore quite a few more jerseys than 4 on the tour, but who's counting?
I also never knew that the Eagles jersey originated from someone throwing it on stage. Has that been verified?
