Early Motown (or any early record label) albums were notorious for putting an artist's A & B-sides around a smash hit. 1964's "Meet the Temptations" is one such album. While David Ruffin features prominently on the cover, the majority of songs are with original member Al Bryant. Despite its inconsistency, the album helped kickstart the Tempts' career and put Smokey Robinson firmly in place as their first head-songwriter/producer. #thetemptations #northernsoul #motownrecords #vintage #50thanniversary #1964 #smokeyrobinson #berrygordy #normanwhitfield #otiswilliams #albryant #davidruffin #paulwilliams #eddiekendricks #soulmusic #motown
