What can I say? Thier 4th album on the Gordy label and it get's better. I was only [...] and remember going over to my oldest sisters house and hearing "Fading Away" blasting from the 2nd story window. "Fading Away" was a bigger hit in DC more than "Get Ready". My favorite is "Lonley Lonely Man Am I". Paul really can pour his soul out. This overall is a great album. As one review put it, this was the transition album. Paul is not leading the majority of the songs and Smokey Robinson passed the production torch to Norman Whiffield who took the Temps to another level. The "Distinguished Gentleman" as I call them were the best male group of thier era. My two all time favorite male groups "the Spaniels" and of course the "Temptations". IF you love the Temps, get this cd.
September 30, 2006'Gettin' Ready' is one of my favorite Temptation lp's! This Lp is just classic Motown Soul, featuring the big hits 'Get Ready', 'Ain't To Proud To Beg', 'Fading Away'.. also two of my favorite Paul Williams leads on 'Lonely, Lonely Man Am I' love the background hamories on this song! and 'Who You Gonna Run To' and Eddie's joyful lead on 'Too Busy Thinking About My Baby', and David on 'Say You' i've always felt that this song is underrated in the Temps catalog, I just love it. This cd includes two bonus tracks, This lp marked a turning point for the Temps because 'Get Ready' didn't hit the tep ten on the pop charts Berry Gordy felt it wasn't a hit(GR was a #1 R&B hit) so Smokey Robinson was no longer the main producer for them and the Norman Whitfield years began, (personally I like alot of the Norman productions but the Smokey years are my favorites) no soul collection should not be without this wonderful set of songs.
July 25, 2006All the tracks on this CD are great--I had the vinyl album back when it first came out--but moving from Connecticut to New York back in 1968 plus playing the album over and over just wore it out. I am so glad this was issued in CD form. "You"re Not An Ordinary Girl" should have been a single. It reminds me so much of "Aint That Peculiar". I loved David Ruffin singing "Say You", he kept the soul going way past the fade!!!
October 21, 2005A must for Temptations fans who remember the playing the record the first time. It brings back all the memories of our youth.
September 21, 2005This is my favorite Temptations album. I remember this album when I was in high school. The recordings are just fantastic. I can't understand why the radio stations didn't play Say You, Fade Away, Little Miss Sweetness, and You're Not An Odinary Girl. These should been hits.
