Ain't Too Proud Stars and Band Re-create "The Way You Do the Things You Do" at Home

Kenny Seymour, musical director for Broadway's Ain't Too Proud — The Life and Times of the Temptations, had an idea. He decided to gather videos of the five stars and everyone in the orchestra performing the show's opening number, "The Way You Do the Things You Do," and then put it all together. Check out the incredible effort below.
