Description: When this CD was released, group member Otis Williams was quoted as saying that it was a belated follow-up to the Temptations' 1967 In a Mellow Mood set. Much like that LP, this 12-track album contains some time-honored standards like Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Some Enchanted Evening" and Cole Porter's "Night and Day." Of course, there are some major differences between For Lovers Only and that recording: only Williams remains from the original lineup and the arrangements are totally in sync with '90s technology. "At Last" (best known by Etta James's early-'60s version) is one of the standouts here, along with a surprisingly refreshing reading of "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" and a slowed-down, soul-infused version of Dinah Washington's classic "What a Difference a Day Makes." A 1961 hit by the Classics, "Life Is But a Dream," is given a wonderful doo-wop workout and includes a great Stevie Wonder harmonica solo; a medley of Ed Townsend's "For Your Love" and Sam Cooke's "You Send Me" works very well. Props to veteran producer Richard Perry for providing appropriate musical settings for this excellent project. --David Nathan

Reviews:

Silky Smooth

I purchased this cd after I'd heard the song "Night and Day" played in the movie, "What Women Want." I was not disappointed! The entire cd is a silky smooth collection of classics, sang in a style that belongs only to the Temptations. This cd makes a wonderful holiday gift for mature listeners. It's excellent when you want something easy to listen to, dance to, or hum/sing along with. You would do well to add this cd to your collection.

To remember when singing was an art!!

At forty-two, I've been blessed to listen to many masters of the sound we love as "soul". But to my dismay,and no disrespect intended, these past few years mostly have produced "singers" who, at best, would have been backups to the master soul singers and groups. To hear the mighty Temptations croon old standards arranged as to make almost completely new songs let's me know, if ony for a little while, that "Life is but A Dream", and we all should revel in it. As an amatuer vocalist, I love these songs, and pray that the Temptations continue to thrill us all.

JUST WHAT WE NEEDED!!!

This CD, particularly the Tempts' version of the ever-popular "Some Enchanted Evening" was so elegantly arranged, that we selected it to use during our formal wedding on June 30th, 2001. At the second reception when we were "introduced" we walked in, as the music was starting, walked to the center of the Ballroom and did the "Bridal Dance", a waltzy slow drag, to this song. The effect was awesome! Leave it to the Temptations to give us such a different version of this timeclass classic. It was absolutely PERFECT!!!
Thanks, guys!
