A Song for You
The Temptations
Eddie Kendricks had departed by the time this record arrived, but the group successfully managed the transition. It contains the prominent bassline of Shakey Ground, which stands as a recognizable groove within the Motown catalog.
Mid-seventies production values apply a slick, disco-infused polish to the material. The band moved away from their earlier psychedelic soul era, opting for a tighter rhythm section oriented toward the dance floor.
