On this day, @The Temptations released their #1 hit smash "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)" 54 years ago! - Swipe left to learn the story⬅️ Today Temptations fans, is the 54th anniversary of The Temptations all-time classic "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)!" It was released today back in 1971 and later on became another #1 hit, as well as becoming their very first platinum record. The story behind this classic is one of my favorites to hear every now and then. Around this time, Eddie Kendricks time with the Temptations was slowly coming to an end. By then, he had personal issues with his bandmate and defacto leader Otis Williams and didn't like how Motown was handling their money. Paul Williams was struggling with health issues due to his sickle cell disease causing him in a lot of pain and alcohol usage to numb it. The road was also coming to a close for Paul as well. Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong came up with the song in 1969 but they shelved it due to the psychedelic run the Temptations were on at the time. Thankfully, they brought it back when "Unite The World" didn't make the top 30, which was another psychedelic record. During the recording of "Just My Imagination," Otis, Paul, Dennis, and Melvin laid down the background vocals and Eddie ended up staying at Motown all night to record his lead part. The song was released and blew up the charts, eventually becoming another #1 hit song. A few months after its release and reaching the top of the charts, Eddie Kendricks quit the group and went solo. Shortly after, Paul Williams retired from performing due to his health declining. You can say, they both left the Temptations on top. Happy 54th anniversary!

The Temptations (1981) Happy Sunday, Temptations fans! Today I just wanted to share with you these photos of @The Temptations during their self-titled album photoshoot in 1981. Their self-titled album is very underrated and it has some great tunes to listen to. This was their third album back at Motown and with the late Dennis Edwards being back as their lead singer. The late Thom Bell, known for producing the Philadelphia soul sound, helped produce this album and created some great songs, including their hit single "Aiming At Your Heart." That song reached #67 on the @billboard Hot 100 and #36 on the Hot Soul Singles chart. If y'all haven't checked out this album, get it a listen!

On this day, @The Temptations released their hit single "Psychedelic Shack" 55 years ago! The Temptations were getting hotter, and hotter going into their psychedelic phase by the late 60s/early 70s. Thanks to Norman Whitfield's brilliant mind, the Tempts weren't stopping in no time with the hits. "Psychedelic Shack" was another hit for the group and another song that featured all five members taking turns singing lead. The song touches on the popular hippie nightclubs that were going on around that time and the young people of that generation just having fun being free with themselves. It would later reach #2 on the US R&B chart, #4 on Cash Box, and #7 on the @Billboard Hot 100. It's really been 55 years since the Tempts took us to psychedelic shack because that's where it's at!

The Temptations performing at a concert; circa 1971. Today Temptations fans, I wanna share with you these NEVER BEFORE SEEN photos of @The Temptations performing at one of their many concerts in early 1971! Now I could be wrong, but I believe they're performing at the famous Uptown Theater in Philadelphia. Can you imagine what a show this must've been? Sometimes I wish I was born at that time just to watch those guys perform. They were truly something special, weren't they?! Temptations Forever. 📸@motown_deep_cuts_pams_jingles (Thank you sharing these rarities!) #TheTemptations #TemptationsForever #TheTemptationsLegacy #Temptations #DennisEdwards #EddieKendricks #PaulWilliams #MelvinFranklin #OtisWilliams #1971 #Motown #motownrecords #motownsound #motownlegends #motownmusic #70s #70sfashion #70sstyle #70smusic #70snostalgia #70svibes #70svintage #concert #rarefinds #rare #rarephotos #neverbeforeseen

The Temptations at the railyard in Detroit; circa 1969. What's going on, Tempts fans?! Today I want to share with you this classic photo of @The Temptations posing at the railyard in Detroit back in 1969. Heads up for tomorrow: Tomorrow will be the 54th anniversary of The Temptations iconic #1 hit song "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)!" By celebrating its anniversary, I will do the usual by telling the story with videos including the last original member Dr. Otis Williams in his words. That song was surely the late Eddie Kendricks' finest moment. Till this day, nobody has been able to sing that song like he did. Including the late Paul Williams one liner "Every night, on my knees I pray...dear Lord." It's crazy how this was actually their very first platinum record. Get ready!

The Temptations hanging out while having some tea; circa 1975. Today Temptations fans, I want to share with you this rare photo of @The Temptations just hanging out while having some tea around 1975! This was most definitely around the time Glenn Leonard had just became their newest tenor. I like photos like these of the guys just hanging out and not performing. It shows no matter who's in the group, the bond will always stay stronger than ever. Brotherhood was one of many things that stood out throughout the group's history. We have to remember, they're human beings like the rest of us.

On this day, @The Temptations released their fifteen studio album "Solid Rock" 53 years ago! Swipe left to learn some info ⬅️ Today Temptations fans, we're gonna celebrate the anniversary of The Temptations classic album "Solid Rock," as it was released today back in 1972! This was the very first album to feature two of their newest additions, Richard Street and a young 20 year old Damon Harris. As we all know, 1971 was one of their most difficult years during their success. Founding members Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams left the group a few months apart for different reasons. Eddie would follow the same steps David Ruffin had done and moved on as a solo artist while Paul followed doctor's orders and retired from performing due to his declining health shortly after. Richard would replace him permanently and Damon became Eddie's official replacement after Vibrations singer Ricky Owens failed to fill in the shoes. Many of us know that Richard Street was a familiar face. He was with Otis and Melvin, including co-founding member Al Bryant in the very beginning when they were known as The Distants. During the recording of "Solid Rock," Paul Williams only managed to record one song off the album. That song would be their re-recorded version of "It's Summer," which didn't make the top 40 as a single. It would be the last recording Paul Williams would do with the Temptations. The album was a success, as it peaked at #1 on the US R&B chart and #24 on the @billboard 200. It also featured some classics, such as, "Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)," "Take A Look Around," "Stop The War Now" and "What It Is?." Tell me in the comments what's your favorite song off the album?! Happy anniversary!

On this day, @The Temptations released their nineteenth studio album "A Song For You" 50 years ago! Today Temptations fans, we're are gonna celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Temptations classic album titled after their cover version of "A Song For You!" This album is one of my absolute favorites by the group and it still holds up after all these years. Here are some facts to know about the album: This was the final album to feature the late Damon Harris. He was fired shortly after the album's release due to making unprofessional comments during one of their shows. He was replaced by DC native Glenn Leonard, another great tenor who lasted nearly a decade with the Temptations. This was the first album The Temptations released without Norman Whitfield as their main producer and Jeffrey Bowen took over the position. @Lionel Richie, former member of The Commodores at the time helped produce the track "Happy People" off the album, which is also one of their hit singles. Tell me in the comments your favorite song off of "A Song You!?" Happy 50th anniversary!
