All Directions

A great little album by the Temptations — not as famous as some of their earlier sides, but still a masterful bit of heavy harmony soul produced by the great Norman Whitfield. The album shows the group working in a number of different modes — from heavy early 70s funk, on cuts like "Funky Music Sho Nuff Turns Me On", or their great cover of Isaac Hayes "Do Your Thing", to mellower mature covers, like "First Time I Ever Saw Your Face". Also includes the long version of "Papa was a Rolling Stone" and "Run Charlie Run".
