hoops of fire is certainly a gem but for me soul to soul tops it as one of the best recordings the tempts have ever done.
Stand back folks, i’m about to commit blasphemy: The tempts have been my all time fave group for 59 years [[i’m 70) and i love every single gentleman who ever joined their ranks. And much as i rate david and simply adored dennis for me ali-ollie was the finest voice ever. The interplay of his, melvin’s + ron’s voices and the intensity of the mature lyrics make soul to soul monumental for me.
I don’t know how to embed the video but here’s a link of these fine gentlemen singing straight to camera with no distracting video intercutting:
the temptations - live soul to soul 1989 - youtube [[nice to see richard relaxed and smiling).
Ok, heading for the bunker now.
