TCB was a good vehicle especially during the time of the civil rights movement. If there was a Temptation that I think Gordy could have moved forward I would have put my money on Paul Williams. All the Tempts were good but Paul had that something special.

However, I don't think Berry could handle multiple projects like this. Another good example was Michael Jackson. Yet, in all fairness to BG, he did what he set out to do.

TCB on national TV was an evolution for America at this time. GIT to me was watch us cross over.
That's true! Those specials WERE iconic for its time.
