Editorial Review: Amazon.com: In Motown hierarchies, the Temptations occupied pretty much the same exalted place at the legendary label as the Lincoln division did at Ford; both had a marquee reputation for class and quality that endured time and trend for decades. The group was also a tribute to the glorious possibilities of an erstwhile assembly line: the early hits here (including the signature song that gives this 36-track, double-disc anthology its name) were penned by fellow legend Smokey Robinson, supervised by label founder Berry Gordy, and backed by one of music's greatest house bands. But even as Robinson's role segued into Norman Whitfield's as the 1960s rolled into the '70s, and as David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks left the group for solo careers--echoing the splintering of their superstar label counterparts the Supremes--the Temptations' juggernaut rolled on through a rich series of hits that were by turns traditional ("Just My Imagination"), timely ("Ball of Confusion"), and hard-edged ("Papa Was a Rolling Stone"). But if the hit Motown sound they so long personified became displaced by waves of funk and middle-of-the-road music on the R&B charts, the Tempts adapted remarkably well, scoring hits like the P-Funk collaboration "Shakey Ground," 1984's "Treat Her Like a Lady," and 1998's million-seller "Stay," the last cut nearly 40 years after the band's first Motown session. This collection chronicles their journey across several disparate epochs of soul music history, and includes a concise historical note for each song, as well as track-by-track commentary from founding Temptations member Otis Williams. --Jerry McCulley Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A less expensive version is available.The track listing and features for My Girl: The Very Best...is the exact same as the Temptations Gold album. Only, Gold is a few dollars cheaper. Get that one and save yourself some money. This is very odd for the same album to be packaged two different ways. As far as the music: it's the Temptations and the music is really good. The latter end of the second cd lags due to the unmistakable and dated 80s sound. I'll give a more in depth review for the Gold album. I just wanted to warn people this is a more expensive version of an album that already exists. Rating:  - It don't get better than thisThis is a classic that everybody should have. The music and performance will take you back to a time when artist had to have talent, and this CD is abundant with this. Motown classic Rating: - Almost Perfect I'm only a casual fan of Motown music but the Temptations are by far my favorite Motown group. I got this CD to replace my 1985 Command Performances 17 Greatest Hits CD and this collection does not disappoint. The highlights for me are the cleaner, stronger bass sound on my favorite Temp song - "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone." The remastered sound on this alone is worth the price of this CD. Also, "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" has never sounded better. All the early songs are in stereo (or semi-stereo) which is great. I also appreciate the liner notes about each song by the remaining original member, Otis Williams. I have only a few complaints. First, Disk 1 is only 58 minutes and could have used a few more of their early ...

Watching the movie brought back alot of memories. My pal Louie was a HUGE fan.I was more of a psychedelic rock guy.My how times do change. I first bought some other Temps cd of 16 recordings which were not original . So I bought this here and WHOAH. I am now a HUGE fan. The talent of these guys was truly inspired. The attention to detail ,the lyrics ,the sheer romantic intensity of the love songs and the social commentary of some of the others is still relevant today. The high pitched voice of David and the boss tone quality of Melvin with the other's each having a pivotal role is exhilirating. What a pleasure to ... Read More: Rating: - The Best Temptations Compilation To DateIf you want only one Temptations cd in your collection, than this is the on to get. This two disc set has it all.
