Good pick. It is a good album. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

The title track is one of Dennis Edwards' finest moments IMHO. | |

 Ndeed!! That's My favorite Temptations album!! Listen closely, you can hear Funkadelics Eddie Hazel and Billy Bass Nelson on there, especially on tunes like Shakey Ground, Glass House, and Happy People....
I think Firefly, Memories, and the title track are my favorites.... ... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

"Masterpiece" -1973 And especially "1990" - 1973 SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

I'm a big fan of "Shakey Ground". The Tempts got funky on that one. My author page: https://www.amazon.com/au...eretttruth | |

Yeah, man Eddie and Billy were throwin' it down! That's the rawest I've ever heard the Tempts sound - I know that studio was filled with the funk when they finished! My author page: https://www.amazon.com/au...eretttruth | |
