Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his acrimonious split from The Temptations, the powerhouse vocalist made a confident solo debut that capitalized on his intense, raspy delivery. Supported by the Funk Brothers' impeccable studio instrumentation, the emotional gravity of the performances solidified his standing as one of the label's premier dramatic interpreters.
