Album Review

This album is the beginning of the Temptations with the soulful & smooth sounds of Paul Williams when he sang lead is amazing. What can we say, they are the Temptations.

This album was known as the best of the Temptations albums and that's because all David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams all sing lead on the songs.

This album contains with a hero song, "My Girl", which has to bring re-make and were Cover several times, but other than this song, there will be another songs that If you hear of entire album that you would like to take control of their voice within the band with an old Soul scent and epoch R&B back exactly (although difficult to find to listen to the full album)
