Nysister .. some great choices in there .. and I can't think how I managed to keep "The Love We Had" off my list ..

I take it your choice by THE TEMPTATIONS is "Hey Girl [[ I Like Your Style )" which was on the Masterpiece L.P. as opposed to "Hey Girl" which was on their Cloud Nine L.P.?

TEMPTATIONS : "Hey Girl [[ I Like Your Style )" .. off the Masterpiece L.P.
