The Temptations 1972 - All Directions (1986 Reissue) [EAC FLAC]  The Temptations  Classic Five lineup of the Temptations: David Ruffin (bottom left), Melvin Franklin (top left), Paul Williams (top right), Otis Williams (bottom right), and Eddie Kendricks (center) circa 1965 Wikipedia: The Temptations are an American vocal group known for their success with Motown Records during the 1960s and 1970s. Known for their choreography, distinct harmonies, and flashy wardrobe, the group was highly influential to the evolution of R&B and soul music. Having sold tens of millions of albums, the Temptations are one of the most successful groups in music history. As of 2015, the Temptations continue to perform with one living original member, Otis Williams, still in the lineup. All Directions  Artist: The Temptations Title: All Directions Release Date: July 27, 1972 (1986) Producer: Norman Whitfield Label: Motown Records Catalog #: WD72321 Genre: Soul, R&B, Funk Duration: 34:42 Wikipedia: All Directions is a 1972 album by The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label, produced by Norman Whitfield. The release features the #1 hit "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone", a twelve-minute cover of a Whitfield-produced Undisputed Truth single. "Papa" won three Grammy Awards in 1973. AllMusic Review by Ron Wynn: A monster album, the one that put them back in the spotlight and signaled that Norman Whitfield had saved the day. Damon Harris had replaced Eddie Kendricks, and there were many doubters convinced the band was finished. Instead, Whitfield revitalized them via the majestic single, "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone." Despite its length, Whitfield's decision to open with an extensive, multi-layered musical suite and tease listeners was a master stroke. By the time Dennis Edwards' voice came rushing in, no one would dare turn it off. The single, as well as "Law of the Land" and others, ended the funeral arrangements that had been prepared for the Temptations.  01. Funky Music Sho Nuff Turns Me On (Norman Whitfield) - 3:05 02.
