"All the tracks on this CD are great--I had the vinyl album back when it first came out--but moving from Connecticut to New York back in 1968 plus playing the album over and over just wore it out. I am so glad this was issued in CD form. "You"re Not An Ordinary Girl" should have been a single. It reminds me so much of "Aint That Peculiar". I loved David Ruffin singing "Say You", he kept the soul going way past the fade!!!"

"What can I say? Thier 4th album on the Gordy label and it get's better. I was only [...] and remember going over to my oldest sisters house and hearing "Fading Away" blasting from the 2nd story window. "Fading Away" was a bigger hit in DC more than "Get Ready". My favorite is "Lonley Lonely Man Am I". Paul really can pour his soul out. This overall is a great album. As one review put it, this was the transition album. Paul is not leading the majority of the songs and Smokey Robinson passed the production torch to Norman Whiffield who took the Temps to another level. The "Distinguished Gentleman" as I call them were the best male group of thier era. My two all time favorite male groups "the Spaniels" and of course the "Temptations". IF you love the Temps, get this cd."
