Temptin' Temptations, the Temptations, 1965, :33

Old school R&B! Smooth, baby, very smooth. On just their third album, these guys are very talented, with powerhouse Eddie Kendricks taking a lot of the lead vocals. There's maybe a little bit too much falsetto pleading for me to truly love this album, but when the songs have a little muscle to them, everything clicks just right. Favorite tracks: "Since I Lost My Baby," "You're the One I Need," "You've Got to Earn It."
