Free Music Review: An igneous outburst of deliriously creativeness!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Temptations was the soul band that captured me most in those years when I was entering in my early adolescence. Their sense of dynamical rhythm, their variegated gamut of timbers, imaginative compositions and frenetic proposals really engaged not only me, but besides a vast audience all over the world. So, when they decided to join with the Supremes to create that unforgettable song "I'm going make you love me" - one of the most original soft ballads of 1968 - together with "Sitting on the dock of the bay", "Honey", "Little green apples", "Hey Jude", "Over you", "I say a Little pray for you", "This magic moment", "Promises", "Angel of the morning", "I love how you love me", I`m coming home" and "Release me" - among my affective memory retains - they reached an even major recognition around the world.
But mostly, they knew to readapt themselves as band as any other soul ensemble with three master-songs , "Papa was a rolling Stone", "Psychedelic shack" and "Ball of confusion."
That outburst of igneous creativity was indeed, their golden passport for the immortality, neither more nor less.

Hit: 5 Stars
This is a terrific compilation from probably the best Motown act ever! Yes, there are few errors here: songs like "Beauty Is Only Skin Deep", "I Could Never Love Another After Loving You", "Loneliness Made Me Realize It's You That I Need", and "Psychedelic Shack" are missing. I think I can understand why Motown did what they decided to do with this. The Temptations were a really special group, and their musical output was beyond vast, both with their hits and misses. A wide overview of this output was given and not just stuck to the same era. That's why songs like "Treat Her Like A Lady", which is from the '80s, and "Error Of Our Ways", from the '90s is on here.I don't why an a capella version of "My Girl" is here, though. If the four songs mentioned above were on this disc, it would be perfect running at nearly 80 minutes. Things were done to preserve continuity. All in all, you can't resist the temptation of purchasing "The Temptations: Ultimate Collection."
Free Music Review: CLASSIC MOTOWN
Hit: 5 Stars
The Temptations were Motowns most succesful male act of the sixties. Their extraordinary stage act fascinated audiences in the sixties. They made countless classics through the sixties and early seventies and most of these turn up on this wonderful compilation which showcases their very best recordings. Fine classics featured on the album include THE WAY YOU DO THE THINGS YOU DO (written by Smokey Robinson), GET READY, AIN'T TOO PROUD TO BEG and a track that initially really sot the ball rolling; MY GIRL. They also made countless great recordings with the equally magnificent, Diana Ross and the Supremes with their most succesful collaboration being on I'M GONNA MAKE YOU LOVE ME which also is on the album. Other notable tracks are CLOUD NINE, BALL OF CONFUSION, JUST MY IMAGINATION and the unforgetable PAPPA WAS A ROLLIN' STONE. Its a shame their momentum started to wear off after that particular release in 1972 but never the less their run of hits remain enjoyable and soulful.Free Music Review: Tempting Enough to Buy
Hit: 5 Stars
With their memorable dance moves, lavish outfits and distinct singing style, The Temptations was Motown at its best. From the classics "My Girl, Get Ready, Just my Imagination" and "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" to some of the lesser known songs, this is a terrific collection. There are arguments of a song or two that should have been left off or added but the meat of the group's work is here. Their music has never left us. Weather you first heard the original recordings, discovered them in 1985 at Live Aid with Daryl Hall and John Oates joining Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin onstage or have heard their songs in the countless soundtracks of movies that their music has been featured in, everyone since the group's inception has heard The Temptations. The sad thing is that most of the original members are now gone but we still have our memories and imaginations..and these recordings to remember them by. One more time.Free Music Review: The Temps' new record's a gas

If you know where the title of this review comes from, then you will appreciate this collection and don't need me to tell you much about the Temptations. This is the best single-CD collection of their material. The only reason not to get it is that there is a 2-CD album "My Girl: Best Of Temptations" that is more complete, including two glaring omissions from this collection, "Beauty's Only Skin Deep" (unforgivable!) and "Runaway Child, Running Wild". It's true that this collection includes "Error of our Ways", a beautiful and important song from 1994, which is NOT included in the "My Girl" collection, but it hardly makes up for the missing "Beauty". Either way, you are getting a stirring, stunning collection from the best soul act ever, but my recommendation is to lay down the extra bucks and go with "My Girl".
