[edit]You're My Everything was the first of three singles and four songs to be co-written for the group by Motown songwriter Rodger Penzabene.
It was the second of two A-sides led by vocalist Eddie Kendricks since David Ruffin,who leads on the bridge and ad-libs on the outro, became the Temptations' lead singer, the previous being the 1966 song "Get Ready".
The single is backed by a cover of The Miracles "I've Been Good to You", also led by Kendricks. It was one of the few singles released by The Temptations from which both sides charted. It peaked at number twenty-four on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 charts.[5] The somg has been covered by a number of artists, including Gladys Knight & The Pips[6] in 1968, Fred Hughes in 1968 and Lloyd Charmers in 1974.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
