They just keep going and going and going

"Tragic deaths, drug episodes, internal controversies, nothing stops this great American treasure called the Temptations. They like that annoying bunny, just keep going and going and going, but they are far from annoying. This is a great CD in many ways. Number one, the vocals are fantastic, and the arrangements are phenominal. This CD, made after the death of Bass Singer Melvin Franklin shows the grit and determination to continue in the face of adversity that America loves. The opening cut "Some Enchanted Evening" is by far the best version ever done of this song. It starts with some haunting harmonies and then has Ollie Wodson and Theo exchanging lead vocals with a level of emotion that is convincing. Night and Day was good enough to make the sound track of What Women Want - I have to version of the CD that was released prior to the movie and it sounds the same to me inspite of what one reviewer would have you believe. If you are a Temptations fan from the early days this CD is for you. If you are a skeptic and believe the group is dead, check out this CD. I am amazed at this group's tenacity. They just keep going and going and going......"

A definite MUST have for any real music fan!

"As a true lover of music, both as a musician and as a fan, I rate this albulm as not only one of the best Temptation recordings ever, but possibly one of the best recordings ever. Period! The Temptations are almost as famous for their many different line-ups as they are for their tight harmonies, and the line-up for this particular album is unique to this recording only. There is also an emotinal and fitting tribute to the amazing Melvin Franklin, who's last ever vocal performance is contained in the haunting "Life Is But a Dream".BUY THIS CD! Thankfully, unlike the old LP's, it won't wear out, because you WILL play it over and over and over and over...."

Legendary songs performed by legends

"Only the Tempts could take classic songs, add a dash of soul and make them their own. This is a great CD that shows a different side of this legendary group. My favorites are "Nite and Day" and "For Your Love/You Send Me" each led by Theo Peoples (Nite and Day), Otis Williams and Ollie Woodson (For Your Love/You Send Me) respectively. Any fan of the Tempts must add this one to their collection!"
