_________________________________

Norman Whitfield was responsible for the radical change in The Temptations' sound. He brought in some adventure and innovation to Motown. The idea with the Undisputed Truth was problably to try out new stuff and experiment. At least you get this feeling when you look at the sleeves of Cosmic Truth and Higher Than High. The members of the group are not listed, only the studio musicians. The original trio broke up in the mid-seventies and a new line-up was formed, based around original member Joe Harris. The new people coming in was Taka Boom (sister of Chaka Khan), Virginia McDonald, Tyrone "Lil Ty" Barkley and Calvin "Dhaakk" Stephenson. Whitfield kept on toying with their sound and they underwent a dramatic change in image and sound, resulting in a range from psychedelic soul and funk to black rock. They got dirtier and nastier and shocked the fans with the clear Funkadelic influences on their releases from the second half of the 70's. Painted faces and white afros became their special trademark.

A Motown legend Norman Whitfield died today at 3:15 pacific. A volatile brother, but a definite master craftsman. Norman put a ton of performers on the map with his hit songwriting. The Temps, Gladys & the Pips, Marvin Gaye, Rose Royce, Rare Earth...the list is endless. RIP Norman

This is very creepy!

[samjabo]

@MikeStone05 You are correct. Rose Royce was the backing band for the undisputed Truth's two albums, "Higher Than High" and "Methond To the Madness". You can even almost think that these are Rose Royce's songs?

[MikeStone05]

I don't know if anybody did recognize that the musicians that are playing behind this groove track is actually Rose Royce...before "Car Wash" took off.
