Meet The Temptations & Temptations Sing Smokey by The Temptations - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

The Temptations' debut album signaled that the band were ready to become stars. It wasn't overloaded with hits, and their trademark harmonies weren't quite polished, but the potential emerged on such songs as "Check Yourself" and "Farewell My Love." Both Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin had their bright moments, and "The Way You Do The Things You Do" marked the official beginning of The Temptations' reign.
