It was relegated to the B-side after DJs made their preference clear for the intended flip, "My Baby," with the red-hot Ruffin on lead vocals. Robinson produced this soulful gem, a song he reportedly wrote to shine a spotlight on the great and yet underutilized Paul Williams, their original lead singer, whose star had been eclipsed in the Temptations firmament by Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks. You're nearly four minutes into a sumptuous bed of orchestrated soundtrack funk before we hear from any actual Temptations, who rise to the occasion here with a heartfelt delivery of Whitfield's gritty portrait of how "nobody cares what happens to folks down here in the ghetto." This one topped the R&B charts, hitting No. Thirteen minutes and 49 seconds?! It's pretty clear that Whitfield meant for this to be another "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone," his chart-topping masterpiece of the previous year, adhering closely to the formula that made that record what it was. And the song length definitely follows suit. I believe the term for that would be a baller move. The title tells you everything you need to know about what they were hoping to accomplish here. Written and produced by Whitfield, this one wears its sense of self-importance on its actual sleeve. 'I always came with the craziness': Hadley Madley on his pioneering days as a Black voice on Phoenix radio 22. The Temptations were fully invested in bringing their vision to life with conviction to spare while the Funk Brothers supplied one of their more insistent psychedelic grooves. Their intentions are written all over this special-effects-laden relic of a very funky trip in dayglo paisley letters as they sing the praises of a place that's guaranteed to “blow your mind.” It's even got a neon sign outside that says "Come in and take a look at your mind." Producer Norman Whitfield co-wrote "Psychedelic Shack" with Barrett Strong, whose recording of “Money (That’s What I Want)” a decade earlier was Motown’s first hit single. Never let it be said that the Temptations met the psychedelic '60s halfway. The Last Temptation: Otis Williams reflects on life in the most successful singing group 25. Here's one unapologetically subjective countdown of their greatest songs, from the timeless appeal of the non-charting "I Want a Love I Can See" to their very funky team-up with guitarist Eddie Hazel on "Shakey Ground." Within a decade of releasing "(You're My) Dream Come True," they'd sent four singles to the top of Billboard's Hot 100 as their sound evolved from early hits as iconic as "My Girl" to the more ambitious psychedelic soul of such classics as "Cloud Nine," which earned Motown its first Grammy, and "Ball of Confusion."

22, earning the Tempts a spot on Gordy's Motortown Revue and setting the wheels in motion for what even now remains one of the most successful singing groups the world has ever known. It's been 60 years since the Temptations made their first appearance on the Billboard R&B charts with their first release on Motown, "(You're My) Dream Come True," a soulful ballad written and produced by Berry Gordy.
