I WAS DRIVING IN THE COUNTRY YESTERDAY AND I REACHED BACK AND PUT ON 1990.

This was the last Album Norman Whitfield produced for the Temptations until the later "Back to Basics"

1. Dennis blew it up with "Let your hair down" great song
2. Damon Harris at the time was coming into his own with a nice song called "I need you"
3. Excellent cut by Richard Street..."Heavenly"
4. A nice lead by Dennis "You got my soul on fire"
5. Ain't no justice....This WAS Badd...nice message
6. 1990 the title song was good too...message song
7. ZOOM....Bad....very long but still good

THE LINE UP WAS
DENNIS, MELVIN, DAMON, RICHARD AND OTIS
THIS WAS THE LINE-UP THAT BROUGHT THE 2ND GRAMMY "PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE"

This line-up sound like Temptations and looked like Temptations.
Damon was very good. He was not appreciated

I TRULY ENJOYED THE RIDE https://soulfuldetroit.com/newthread.php?do=postthread&f=6

I agree DrTemptation, this is a great Tempts album!!!! I LOOOOVE "Let Your Hair Down", such a funky groove, and also "You've Got My Soul On Fire" in the same vein, love that one too. Oh and "Heavenly" is such a wonderful song. I am fond of "1990" too, cool song :cool:

Hey arr&bee, 'the fellas' is including Norman Whitfield of course...? :cool:

I have to say I think this is a very interesting album as the last one produced by Norman... to think what might have happened had The Tempts not changed producers... :rolleyes:

Yes. I have it in my collection. They promoted the single "Let Your Hair Down" on the Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour.
