Historical background

The Temptations are among the most influential groups of the 20th century and shaped entire generations with their combination of soul, R&B and funk.
After their big 60s hits ( "My Girl" , "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" ), they took a more modern direction in the mid-70s. Producer Jeffrey Bowen brought a distinctive funk touch that made the album a highlight of the late Motown era.
“A Song for You” is now considered one of the band’s best later works – energetic, elegant and full of musical finesse.
