After the Temptations left Motown in 1977, there were to my knowledge a total of 5 45's released as follows:

3436 In a Lifetime/I Could Never Stop Loving You
3461 Let's Live in Peace/Think for Yourself
3517 Bare Back/I See My Child
3538 Ever Ready Love/Touch Me Again
3567 I Just Don't Know How To Let You Go/Mystic Woman

There were also two albums released, but I do not have either.

Question: Are there any "unreleased" Temptation recordings still in possession of Atlantic vaults? Or do the 5 45s and 2 albums cover their entire recording career at Atlantic?

Thank you.

According to the Motown Encyclopedia, there was a 3rd album recorded but it was never released.

Did you know that there is also suppose to be another Dennis Edwards solo album recorded around 1977 that was never released.

Yeah!! What happened to that? I love Dennis Edwards... hearing solo tracks by him from the late '70s would be great!!

I don't know what happened. I do know he ended up working in Cleveland as a cement mason helper in 1977 for a short while.

Wow, really?! I never knew that.

Apparently the album was supposed to be called Dennis Edwards, and had a catalogue number of G 978.

Actually[hear to temp you]which was the first atlantic lp wasn't bad,but three things killed it, 1- no dennis[louis price is a great singer but wrong for the temps]2-the disco era 3-the disco era[motown was in decline and even berry couldn't have saved that lp.
