The Temptations
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, October 1975
WHEN IT comes to successful vocal groups, the stalwart Temptations really have no peers. For over a decade now, they have reigned virtually uninterrupted over a whole host of supergroups. And even now, though their singles may not be as successful as in earlier years, they have developed into an album selling group and a group that has both universal and international acceptance.
