"This CD is okay, but my main problem with it is that it leaves out a lot of the excellent material Eddie recorded during his years at Motown. The cuts "Keep On Truckin'" and "Boogie Down" are included here in their unedited versions, but the some of the other songs that were originally longer ("Girl You Need A Change Of Mind", "Intimate Friends", "He's A Friend", "Can I") are cut down and are really not as enjoyable as the long versions. If you're just getting into Eddie's work, then this is a good starting point, but I personally recommend getting the ULTIMATE COLLECTION, which has all those songs in their entirety. If you still find yourself wanting more of the Eddie Kendricks sound, you can also check out VINTAGE '78, or search for his other LPs on vinyl, since most of Eddie's solo works are now out of print."

Super set!

"Along with David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks brought the Temptations to the forefront of 60's & early 70's R&B. This excellent compilation features tracks from the Temptations days as well as some of Eddie's best solo efforts. Highly recommended."

A must for serious fans of Eddie Kendricks

"A compilation of several of the best performances of one of the smoothest falsetto voices of our generation. My only regret is that more of Eddie's solo performances are not available."
