Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Leon Russell's title track had already become a modern standard recorded by everyone from the Carpenters to Willie Nelson by the time the Tempts got to it on this 1975 disc. With the number of original group members shrunken by death and departure, it no doubt held plenty of resonance for those who carried on. The record's highlight, though, is "Shakey Ground," driven by P-Funk-ers Eddie Hazel and William "Billy Bass" Nelson. What remains is thoughtful, somewhat shallow, and not up to the level of innovation Motown colleagues Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, not to mention the Tempts themselves, had reached. A good album, if one that fails to meet its goal of true significance. --Rickey Wright Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Found at lastThanks again Amazon.com once again you came through when I needed you. Actually, I had been somewhat searching for this particular CD for a number of years and it was only after searching through Amazon.com CD Now was I finally able to locate this treasure. This is one of my all time favorate Temtations CDs and I am really glad I was finally able to add it to my collection. I rated this CD 5 stars and stand by each and every one of them. Rating: - Beautiful!I absolutely love this cd. Dennis Edwards is the lead vocalist. I adore his powerful voice. My favorite songs on this cd are A Song for You, Memories, and Firefly. There isn't one song I don't like. I especially adore Dennis's rendition of Leon Russell's A Song For You. I don't know which version I love best. It is a tie between him and Donny Hathway's version. When I listen I feel like I am communing with the spirits. This music touches my heart and soul. It is so beautiful. I am a die hard fan of great lyrics, vocals, and real musicianship. Rating: - songs that rockThis CD is everything my album was,i am very pleased with it Rating: - The Last GREAT Temps album...Rickey Wright got it wrong, this album is all that and a bag of chips, and a pack of Bubblelicious! 1975, I was a freshman in college and everyone was jamming to 'Shakey Ground', but I was always drawn to the "b" (ballad) side of the set; A Song for You, Memories, Firefly and I'm a Bachelor. Not a weak sister in the bunch, all prime filet. That five-part harmonizing that no one could touch was in fine, fine form. Dennis earned his "Temptations Forever" tag with this one, he put his own stank on it, beyond any of the Norman Whitfield days...for me anyway. There was nothing after this album that touched me the way this one did. I was blessed to see the "Original" Temps; Otis, Paul, Eddie, David and Melvin at the tender age ... Read More: Rating: - I LOVE THIS RECORD!I think the Tempts were going through their third incarnation when this was released. This is one of those albums Cedric The Entertainer was talking about in his movie, "Johnson Family Reunion," Every song on this album is a joy. (Cedric didn't use the word "joy," but you get the picture) My favorites are "Glasshouse," A funky, bass-driven classic, "A Song For You" & "Memories," tracks aimed straight for the heart with the lush strings, and soul-touching vocals of Dennis Edwards. |
