Review by Lucas Wisdome

Greatest Hits by The Original Lead Singers of The Temptations – A Soulful Ride Through Time Alright, so let me just say this upfront: if you’re into that classic Funk/Soul vibe with a splash of Disco magic, Greatest Hits by The Original Lead Singers of The Temptations is gonna grab your ears and not let go. Released back in ‘93 (yeah, I know, the 90s weren’t all grunge and boy bands), this album feels like a warm hug from an old friend. Produced by Paul Gilman, it’s got all the hits you’d expect from The Temptations’ legacy but with a fresh coat of paint. And honestly? It works. Now, before we dive too deep, let’s talk about two tracks that really stuck with me—because who has time for a track-by-track breakdown, right? First up: "Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone." Man, how do you even mess with perfection? This version stays true to the original vibe while adding just enough polish to make it feel new again. You can practically see the story unfold as those smooth vocals glide over that iconic bassline. There’s something haunting yet groovy about it—it’s like listening to a movie where the dad is shady AF but also kinda cool. Every time it comes on, I find myself zoning out, picturing some dramatic slow-motion montage. It’s one of those songs that reminds you why The Temptations were—and still are—legends. Then there’s "My Girl." Like, c’mon, who doesn’t love this song? Even if you think you don’t, trust me, once those first few notes hit, you’ll be humming along before you realize what’s happening. This rendition keeps things simple and sweet, letting the melody shine without overdoing it. It’s impossible not to smile when the chorus kicks in—it’s pure serotonin in musical form. Honestly, it’s the kind of tune that makes you wanna grab someone special and twirl them around the room, even if you’ve got two left feet. One thing that stands out about this whole album is how well it balances nostalgia with accessibility. Sure, these are covers of their biggest hits, but they don’t feel lazy or phoned-in. Instead, it’s like revisiting an old favorite restaurant—they’ve updated the menu slightly, but the heart of it remains the same. Plus, having European flair (released under the Success label) adds a little extra spice to the mix. But here’s the kicker—I didn’t expect to get so caught up in this record. I mean, yeah, The Temptations have always been great, but hearing these tracks reimagined made me appreciate them in a whole new way. It’s weird because sometimes remakes feel forced or unnecessary, but this one just clicks. Maybe it’s the soulful energy, maybe it’s the slick production, or maybe it’s just the fact that good music never really gets old. So, would I recommend this album? Absolutely. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just someone looking for some funky vibes to brighten your day, this one delivers. Just don’t blame me if you end up playing "My Girl" on repeat and annoying your cat. Oh, and hey—if anyone knows where I can snag a vinyl copy of this, hit me up. My turntable misses the Tempts.
