1976 The Temptations – Do The Temptations
The Temptations Do the Temptations is an album by the Temptations, released in 1976 via Gordy Records. The Temptations’ Motown contract was terminated after the release of the album.
This was the last album that Dennis Edwards was on before he was fired from the group for the first time.
The group enjoyed the greatest creative control of their career, producing and writing most of the tracks. The album received virtually no promotional support from Motown, which didn’t like that the Temptations had such creative freedom over the album.
After four unsuccessful years at Atlantic Records, the group would return to Motown for twenty-four more years.
