The Temptations -- Zoom

This is the last post in 2009. Its title sums up everything I have to say about the past year: Zooooooom! Over it was! Moreover, the song is from the TEmptations album 1990, a year I remember very well. We partied into that new year with our good friends back home in Germany, and we had a fantastic time ...

So, here is my Happy New Year to everyone! I hope we all are going to be happy, healthy and wealthy in 2010!

The Undisputed Truth: "Smiling Faces", "Don't Let Him Take Your Love From Me"


The Undisputed Truth war sozusagen Norman Whitfields Testgruppe. Mit ihnen propierte er seinen psychedelic sound aus bevor er Motowns Paradepferd The Temptations darauf ansetzte. Smiling Faces wurde allerdings zuerst von den Temptations gesungen, aber ich bevorzuge die Undisputed Truth Version. Meine Lieblingsversion bleibt jedoch die von David Ruffin.
Zusammen mit Rose Royce verliess die Gruppe Motown und folgte Norman Whitfield zu seinem eigenen Label. Leider erlosch ihr Star aber schon bald und man hoerte nichts mehr von den Undisputed Truth.

Ma, The Undisputed Truth
