A man whose
taste is eerily similar to mine noted last year that this album is “extremely
well done … with great soulful arrangements of show tunes and some other
standards.” That pretty much sums it up; obviously the Temps did a great job on
songs by Motown writers such as Smokey Robinson, Norman Whitfield, and Barrett
Strong, but this LP shows that they could bring a “Lot O’ Soul” (to borrow from
the title of their previous album) to other material as well. In more recent
years, established artists releasing “standards” albums has almost become a
cliché, but this one is one of the best ever in that genre.
