Capsule review: Temptations - Meet the Temptations (1964)


Finally a hit (opener 'The way you do the things you do'), so Gordy collects material from the last 4 years on this debut album. 7 Gordy (co-)credits, 4 Smokey Robinson. It shouldn't work but flaws and all, the band's singing is close to heaven, the songs thrill with undiscovered potential, early years' drive to please. The sound of young America being born.
