The Temptations Return to Their Roots
The courage to go back to basics as shown by the masters of funk.
As the music scene changed in the 1980s, The Temptations returned to the basics of soul music, their roots. They eliminated excessive ornamentation and focused on the essentials of choral harmonies and rhythm. This album is impressive for its maturity cultivated over a long career and its strength in its simplicity.
