Eddie Kendricks - People...Hold on

[flyprezidente]

This song makes you realize you to fight for what you want. Spartan style.

[NoJokeDee]

Eddie Kendricks was a true musician way before his time. He was handsome with a smooth voice. I sometimes wish I was alive back then. Eddie could have gotten it. LOL

R.I.P. Mr. Kendricks

[hamhocks100]

EDDIE KENDRICKS! There is nothing else to say,his voice says it all!

[luvBHIC]

I can't stop listening to this. I LITERALLY have this on repeat. I think this song is a MASTERPIECE. And I adore Eddie's high tenor.....Just...great.
