The Temptations might have been Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong’s primary ‘vehicle’ for experimentation. They cranked out classics like “Cloud Nine” (Motown’s first Grammy winner), “Just My Imagination,” & the iconic “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone”. #NormanWhitfield #BarrettStrong #OneHitWondered

🎵 "Through the windows of my eyes
Everyone can see
The loneliness inside me.
Why'd you have to go away?
Don't you know I miss you so?
I need your love..."🎶

🎶 "Just think of all the moments
That we spent.
I just can't let you go,
For me, you were meant.
And I didn't mean to hurt you,
But I know
That in the game of 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲,
You reap what you sow..."🎵😌

“#Motown producer #NormanWhitfield was honored without his lyrical collaborator, #BarrettStrongJr.”
You can’t write a Hit song without great lyrics…

A close up image of a black vinyl record. The inner label is fuscia with yellow accent. Text reads “Solid Rock” The Temptations, with reflected light bringing a sense of depth and warmth.
What’s your favorite Temptations record? Peak groove and vibe here in the Whitfield era, I find myself prob returning to this one most. 🪨🪨🪨

#Interestingly The Undisputed Truth never really got the spotlight… But they were the ‘Frankenstein’s laboratory’ for Norman Whitfield’s wildest ideas… and in that lab, “Smiling Faces” was the lightning in the bottle. #TheUndisputedTruth #NormanWhitfield #OneHitWondered
