The first Motown (Tamla) music to win a Grammy, the Temptations' story is epic and continues from the 50s to today. Tonight I play through the major singles of the hit period and concentrate on the Psychedelic Soul days of Norman Whitfield. Hearing all this terrific music at once is a learning curve of social growth, and it packs a mighty melodic and harmonic wallop.
