Leon Russell's title track had already become a modern standard recorded by everyone from the Carpenters to Willie Nelson by the time the Tempts got to it on this 1975 disc. With the number of original group members shrunken by death and departure, it no doubt held plenty of resonance for those who carried on. The record's highlight, though, is "Shakey Ground," driven by P-Funk-ers Eddie Hazel and William "Billy Bass" Nelson. What remains is thoughtful, somewhat shallow, and not up to the level of innovation Motown colleagues Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, not to mention the Tempts themselves, had reached. A good album, if one that fails to meet its goal of true significance. <I>--Rickey Wright</I>

5 out of 5 stars songs that rock.......2007-01-09

This CD is everything my album was,i am very pleased with it

5 out of 5 stars The Last GREAT Temps album..........2006-11-10

Rickey Wright got it wrong, this album is all that and a bag of chips, and a pack of Bubblelicious! 1975, I was a freshman in college and everyone was jamming to 'Shakey Ground', but I was always drawn to the "b" (ballad) side of the set; A Song for You, Memories, Firefly and I'm a Bachelor. Not a weak sister in the bunch, all prime filet. That five-part harmonizing that no one could touch was in fine, fine form. Dennis earned his "Temptations Forever" tag with this one, he put his own stank on it, beyond any of the Norman Whitfield days...for me anyway. There was nothing after this album that touched me the way this one did.

I was blessed to see the "Original" Temps; Otis, Paul, Eddie, David and Melvin at the tender age of 13 and YES they were the singin'est, steppin'est, dressin'est group out there, truly "the Emperors of Soul"...GET THIS.

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS RECORD!.......2006-07-20

I think the Tempts were going through their third incarnation when this was released. This is one of those albums Cedric The Entertainer was talking about in his movie, "Johnson Family Reunion," Every song on this album is a joy. (Cedric didn't use the word "joy," but you get the picture)

My favorites are "Glasshouse," A funky, bass-driven classic, "A Song For You" & "Memories," tracks aimed straight for the heart with the lush strings, and soul-touching vocals of Dennis Edwards.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful music.......2006-03-16

I am 49 years old and I still enjoy listening to this album. Dennis Edwards voice was so strong, it was destined to be a memorable time piece.

5 out of 5 stars A SONG FOR YOU.......2006-03-01

A Song For You is a great album. Appears that some of the average rated reviewers are stuck in the My Girl era, the 60s. The album is a even balance of fast and slow tracks. The up tempo cuts are kickin, The ballads are wonderful. 5 stars!!!!!
