Gotta speak for yourself youngnlood! Fading Away wss played ln radio and usually fratured "live" in performances. We'll Be Satisfied was out on CD with other unreleased cuts 20 years ago. The group was filmed recording Sorry Is A Sorry Word on Detroit TV when the Wish It Would Rain album came out. Can't nobody touch them!

[@MakupNluvMusic]

First time hearing we'll be satisfied and I'm just like wtf??? All 3 with my main man(Mr. Paul Williams❤)leading??? Wow, Motown made hit after hit.. all these gems that didn't get the air play like they should've!

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

With "We'll Be Satisfied", the crime was that this had NEVER been released on any album or record until a few years ago! That a song THIS good was never heard by the general public truly is a WTF moment. The subject of Motown having an insane amount of buried treasures came up in a discussion recently; being that Motown literally recorded 24 hours a day, nearly every day of the year back then, it becomes clear they just had more good music than they could possibly put out.

[@vernoncephas7849]

Amazing group of guys they are truly missed but will live on in the hearts of those people of 60s when they performed

[@marshalllsmith2095]

The early songs were the best, and they should get some airplay from the radio stations across the board..

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

I agree, but it'll never happen. The reason why I say that is because I once called an Oldies station and asked by my request was never played. I mentioned the song had done well on the charts back in the day. This DJ did something nobody else ever did- he put me on hold and when he had a few minutes, he explained how radio works- in a nutshell, they do testing on a batch of songs, see which ones get the best, most immediate response and those are the ones that go onto the playlist, and only those. I'm paraphrasing, but it's why you'll only hear the same two or three songs by any artist over and over. Instead of chancing listeners tuning out during an unfamiliar song, the radio stations would rather ensure listeners stay tuned by playing a steady stream on Very Well-Loved hits. And the problem is that most radio listeners are just fine with it.

[@darrinnicholson8743]

The first song was like...WOW!!!!

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

It's REALLY hard to understand why that song didn't at least get onto an album. I think this was one of the first times a producer got 3 leads onto the same song- and it worked like crazy! Even if only one took the leak all the way, the song is amazing.

[@darrinnicholson8743]

tomovox I must have listened to this at least a dozen times already. The beginning guitar riff, followed by the funky bass line, then the horned. Paul, Eddie and David.....DAMN! this is goosebumps music!

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

Darrin Nicholson YES! That intro- I love how you describe it. It's such a brilliant intro too. It snaked up and down, back and forth, building this great anticipation! What's really remarkable is that it sounds like nothing else from that time. About a thousand steps ahead of its time.

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

I'm glad you got to discover something new from the Tempts! I think "We'll Be Satisfied" was recorded during the time the album "With A Lot Of Soul" was being put together, but there were just too many good songs for them all to fit.

[@CookingwithChas]

All.3 of their voices fit together and make such a peace sign

[@blakricanwitlocs]

a rarety that Paul song lead with eddie and David ..this song should of went some where

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

soul see Truly a case where a winner got lost in the shuffle of the tons of material being recorded at Motown. You really would think, like you said, a song where these three take turns on the lead would have at the very least gotten onto an album. The more you read about Motown though, the more you appreciate there was just an unbelievable amount of good music being recorded literally 24 hours a day. Imagine if Beyonce or Jay Z recorded like Motown did...there's no way I could see that happening today; masterpieces being recorded left and right, so many they could never release enough albums to contain them all.

I love most of the singers voices in the Temptations through the years, but Paul's had a certain magic that makes his my favorite. One more thing I must say is it's not a competition. It's music!

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

I like that- "it's not a competition it's music." You're right. The Temptations were big enough and good enough to house more than one great singer. Paul had a very distinctive way of singing. He'd really hit certain consonants, like: tearstaineD leTTerRRRR. He was also a really passionate singer full of emotion.

[@martintanksley3561]

[@robertvelez8485]

As much as I love Earth Wind And Fire, there is no group in recording history quite like the Temptin Temptations! They are the greatest R&B group of all time and it's not even close because all 5 singers (David, Eddie, Paul, Melvin, Otis) can actually sing lead and watching them live back in the 1960's was a earth shattering experience! I'll be Satisfied is a forerunner of Cloud Nine and Fading Away is one of Eddie's best tunes and Sorry is a sorry word displays David's sandpaper style of singing! Hands down, they are the best!

[@johnanders571]

Awww -- just LOVED Fading Away, I'd be stuck by that old Zenith stereo lying on the floor listening to it. Was at the age as a younger teen when I romanticized about boys.

I also get a lot of my pics from the books I've bought over the years on Motown- again, you can find those on ebay- often for not a lot of money. Album covers found at 2nd hand shops are good. You can get some really good pics on ebay- just search for something like "The Temptations photographs" and you'll find some. Some are very expensive, but you should be able to find quite a few that are affordable.

[@lindahines9380]

@@williebowen1043 Nope! I'm sorry 😞 two different people different sounds totally

[@bustabass9025]

David's vocal tone, inflection, range and singing voice were all very similar to that of Sam Cooke. Listen closely to the two. There was the same gritty yet soft, smooth texture to it, depending upon how he interpreted a given song. Usually a sweet soulful crooning, more than the hard driving punch Dennis brought to the group. However, Dennis' lead ushered in the era of Psychedelic Soul, and kept The Tempts on top, as music and the world were changing in the late 60s. Two very different voices, for two very different times in the legacy of the greatest male vocal group ever recorded... The Classic Five!

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

Motown is still mind-blowing to me. It was a little independent label that was outpacing and outshining a lot of the major big-bucks record companies. Like you said, it really was a new hit just about every week. I always think how amazing that the very technology I'd always complain about (old man syndrome!) is the VERY thing that is introducing literally entire worlds of new - and younger - fans to this music. I used to feel really isolated in my love for this music because I was collecting this stuff in the 80s and all my friends, of course, were into the current music of those times. NOW, look at how all of us can come here and talk about this music like teenage fans and you can get it everywhere, like streaming platforms and such.

Quite often, there's a reason why some tracks, remained in "the can" and were not released. They just didn't live up to the Motown standard. This is one of them.

There are 3 here; you didn't say which one.

Lol, sounds familiar! One of my good friends who lived across the street from me was a fan too -- we both obsessed about the Temptations and bought nearly every 45 or album they made and we'd listen to them hours on end at my house or hers. One day she asked me if I had one of her 45's and I told her no but I did have it. My conscience got to me and I returned it to her. She told me she knew I had it all the time. I felt like you know what, lol and learned my lesson.

Ha, ha! I love that! Oh the things we sometimes do! Guess what? Tonight I learned I was guilty of another "theft." My brother stopped by tonight and there was a special on PBS featuring stars of the 70's. We got to talking about all this great music we grew up with and I said how much I liked the music. He said "Yeah I KNOW! You stole one of my tapes!" I had forgotten all about it, but as soon as he mentioned it, I knew exactly the tape he was talking about.

The successful formula turned out to be the famed Eddie to David 1-2 vocal lead trades. While impossible to now speculate producers theories back then, I think a version of that vocal trade (Paul to Eddie to David) started with "It's You That I Need", finally "perfected" with Eddie to David (I can't recall that first pairing, a bit prior to "You My Everything). It's still an excellent recording, even as album filler, better than other's hits.

All good points. I think "You're My Everything" really is about as perfect a record as there is, at least among the material that was put out. "We'll Be Satisfied" is a strong tune, but I'm imagining with Smokey and then Norman having a constant "lock" on the Temptations, it's very possible this one never even got to Motown's Quality Control for consideration.

(cont.) It was a tape he made from the radio and one of the songs was Stevie Wonder's "Uptight" I played that song so much they ran me out of the house, lol! He was joking but absolutely right when he said that was part of my introduction to Motown.
