The Temptations -- With a Lot o' Soul

  Pumpin' Motown Classic, man this album is a power house of hits and devotion!  Their sound is mostly taken from Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, whom was very involved with the Temptations early career and this record, but where the Miracles are more the smooth Soul, The Temptations are more of that hard edge thumpin' bass Soul.  The sound on this record is so big you'd think they had everyone at Motown working on it, a gang of producers/songwriters (Holland-Dozier-Whitfield-Robinson-Ivy Joe Hunter ... etc), full orchestrations and The Temptations.  What an effort it musta been, and wuz made With a Lot o' Soul!!!!!
