1	Give Love at Christmas (1980) more music like this by The Temptations This is one of the most classic R&B Christmas albums ever recorded; the Temptations come steppin' in prime form. With a chiming introduction, "Give Love on Christmas Day" is an uplifting jingle showcasing Glenn Leonard's unwavering falsetto on lead. "Everything for Christmas" has mellifluous background vocals, with string and horn arrangements ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
2	The Ultimate Collection (1997) more music like this by The Temptations With the exception of Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, one would be hard pressed to name a Motown act who went through as many creative shifts as the Temptations. While Wonder's and Gaye's changes of direction were a product of their own creative rebellion against Berry Gordy's brilliant but often formulaic vision, the Temptations seemed to be the ... see all copies from $9.78! new only from $9.78!
3	Anthology [1995] (1995) more music like this by The Temptations A definitive overview of the Temptations' career at Motown, Anthology was first released on LP in 1973, revamped in 1986, and updated once again for the CD era in 1995, with modern remastering technology and new packaging. The 1995 version tinkers with the selections a bit, appends a few later singles released after the original issue, and adds a ... see all copies from $12.50! new only from $37.39!
4	20th Century Masters - The Christmas Collection (2003) more music like this by The Temptations The Temptations' 20th Century Masters - Christmas Collection combines 12 tunes initially available on 1970's Christmas Card and 1980's Give Love at Christmas, both on Motown. This is a pleasing combination of classics of the genre -- "Silver Bells," "White Christmas," and "Let It Snow" -- with not so classic but still highly enjoyable tunes, ... see all copies from $5.72! new only from $5.72!
5	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Temptations, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by The Temptations Like most entries in Universal Music's Millennium Collection (previously the province of MCA Records), The Best of Temptations, Vol. 1: The '60s is a solid budget-line collection containing 11 of their biggest hits from the '60s, including "My Girl," "I Can't Get Next to You," "Ain't to Proud to Beg," and "The Way You Do the Things You Do." There ... see all copies from $3.48! new only from $6.85!
6	Cloud Nine (1969) more music like this by The Temptations Best known for their silky soul vocals and smooth-stepping routines, the Temptations were firmly entrenched as the undisputed kings of Barry Gordy's Motown stable when cutting-edge producer Norman Whitfield walked into the studio and announced that it was time to shake things up. The resulting freakout became the first half of the stellar Cloud ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $8.01!
7	Christmas Card (1970) more music like this by The Temptations The Christmas sound for the "Big Chill Generation," it includes a great rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." David A. Milberg, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	Song for You (1975) more music like this by The Temptations By 1975, the Temptations were a much different group with both David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks out of the lineup. Dennis Edwards was now singing lead, and only Melvin Franklin and Otis Williams existed from the original group. The group was far more of a funk mind, and this set proves it. The big hit on here was "Happy People," with the Temps ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	In a Mellow Mood (1967) more music like this by The Temptations The Temptations moved into world of jazzy pre-rock pop, and showed that great singers can handle anything. While many soul fans were surprised that they issued an album with versions of "Ol' Man River," "Somewhere," and "Taste of Honey," they were hooked once they heard it. This recording was another indication of how much Berry Gordy wanted to ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.33!
10	The Temptin' Temptations (1965) more music like this by The Temptations The Temptations' third album for Motown's Gordy subsidiary in 1965 kept the hit streak alive with the inclusion of "Since I Lost My Baby," "My Baby," "Don't Look Back," and "Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)." As a matter of fact, this album churned out seven chart hit singles -- or rather, they were included on this collection, as singles wagged ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $6.03!
11 view cover	Meet the Temptations (1964) more music like this by The Temptations The Temptations' first LP, released three years into the group's history with Motown, is also a great record, even though it wasn't really an album so much as a collection of their early singles, hooked around their then new hit, "The Way You Do the Things You Do." Those expecting the classic Temptations sound should also be aware that David ... see all copies from $4.96! new only from $5.06!
12 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Temptations, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this by The Temptations No company knows how to recycle product like Motown, who seems to have repackaged most of their significant output dozens of times, and the rest hardly less than that -- though the truth is that a lot of Motown product has vanished into obscurity, never (thankfully) to be seen again (does anybody really want to remember Motown taking aim at FM ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $4.82!
13 view cover	Back to Front (2007) more music like this by The Temptations No vocal group is better qualified to pay tribute to R&B's golden era than the Temptations, who do exactly that on Back to Front (an album containing mostly covers of soul classics from the '60s and '70s). Some soul connoisseurs will question whether or not the 2007 lineup heard on Back to Front should even be called the Temptations; Otis Williams ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.09!
14 view cover	The Temptations Sing Smokey (1965) more music like this by The Temptations This was only the group's second LP, and it was an extremely strong one, built around two monster hits ("My Girl" and the previously recorded "The Way You Do the Things You Do") and one close runner-up ("It's Growing"), plus a brace of some of the best songs in the Motown catalog, including renditions of "You Beat Me to the Punch," "What's So Good ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
15 view cover	Psychedelic Soul [US] (2003) more music like this by The Temptations Two big changes happened for the Temptations in 1968. First, they parted ways with David Ruffin and brought in former Contour Dennis Edwards as lead vocalist. Edwards brought a rougher-edged soul sound to the group with his raw vocals. Secondly, they decided that the world of music was changing and they were standing still. The group went to ... see all copies from $16.72! new only from $16.72!
16 view cover	Temptations Live! (1967) more music like this by The Temptations Capturing live rock or soul performances professionally for commercial release was still more art than science on October 3, 1966, when this album was recorded at the Roostertail in Detroit. Technically, Temptations Live! has its flaws -- balance problems and leakages -- but the remastering has compensated for these problems extraordinarily well, ... see all copies from $6.53! new only from $7.22!
17 view cover	1990 (1973) more music like this by The Temptations Even as the name projects the vocalists some 17 years in the future, 1990 (1973) clearly offers up the unmistakable sound of the early-'70s Temptations. At this point, the lineup boasted founding members Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin alongside David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks' respective replacements, Dennis Edwards and Ricky Owens. The most ... see all copies from $13.27! new only from $13.27!
18 view cover	Emperors of Soul (1994) more music like this by The Temptations Released in 1994, Emperors of Soul is a five-CD anthology celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Temptations with 109 key tracks taken from their 40-plus album catalog. Along with the Four Tops and the Supremes, the Temps became one of Motown's most successful acts, scoring an astounding 35 Top 40 entries during their prime. However, unlike many ... see all copies from $58.34! new only from $58.34!
19 view cover	My Girl: The Very Best of the Temptations (2002) more music like this by The Temptations At the time of the release of the two-disc Temptations compilation My Girl: The Very Best of the Temptations, Motown had in print a five-CD box set, Emperors of Soul; a one-disc Ultimate Collection; and two volumes of the midline-priced 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection on the group (not to mention umpteen older comps). So, this TV ... see all copies from $11.49! new only from $39.99!
20 view cover	Someday Man (1971) more music like this by Paul Williams Jobbing songwriter and actor Williams only provided lyrics on his debut album -- all the music was composed by producer Roger Nichols. Williams' vocal limitations are immediately clear. His voice is thin, inarticulate, and markedly stunted of range -- it takes considerable getting used to. The ten songs here roll along merrily enough in a soft ... see all copies from $9.77! new only from $9.77!
21 view cover	Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 (1966) more music like this by The Temptations The original Temptations greatest hits album, which came awfully early in their reign, but contained nothing but nuggets. It has long since lost its value, with about a million Temptations collections, compilations, and anthologies issued since, but it had a certain charm back in the 1960s. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
22 view cover	Christmas Celebration (2001) more music like this by The Temptations see all copies from $11.85! new only from $11.85!
23 view cover	Just an Old Fashioned Love Song (1971) more music like this by Paul Williams Here Williams came into his own, writing the bulk of his material single-handedly. Just An Old Fashioned Love Song boasts "We've Only Just Begun" -- one of his signature compositions -- and finds him in wistful, melancholic form. The uncluttered arrangements, and the fact that Williams has learned to use his weak voice for emotional effect make ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $27.70!
24 view cover	Motown Legends: My Girl (1993) more music like this by The Temptations The Motown Legends series are all compact, tight packages, and this ten-song compilation of Temptations sides is no exception. The tunes range from the pre-David Ruffin era to songs from the I Wish It Would Rain LP. Al Bryant sang with the Temptations when they cut "Paradise," a '50s-sounding number led by a young full-throated Eddie Kendricks ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
25 view cover	Cloud Nine/Puzzle People (2000) more music like this by The Temptations Part of Motown's European remastering series of its classic albums, this single-CD compilation of the two LPs Cloud Nine and Puzzle People runs circles around any existing domestic CD of either title for sound quality. Representing much of the group's output for the year 1969, the two albums show the group advancing in the face of adversity -- ... see all copies from $37.49!
