In 1968 Davis (David) Ruffin was fired from the Temptations he was replaced by Dennis Edwards who was with The Contours, Cloud 9 was Motowns first pop grammy and it took The Temptations mucis in a totally different direction with the help of Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong

@MotownMaster I have this record on the script label, also during this time(late 1969)some Tamla releases were on the old globe label(maybe there were some old labels laying around the warehouse, so they decided to use these remaining ones up! Won't swear to this, but a possibility!)

ooh, wah-wah guitars, Psychedelic Shack was brilliant too!

I love the part at 2:28

Thank the "Funk Brothers" for that wonderful MOTOWN sound!

I love the ending of the song where they all get in like Sly & the Family did on "Dance to the Music" Which Otis said was an inspiration for their new sound.

well they were both written by Barrett Strong & Norman Whitfield, if you noticed The Supremes "You Can't Hurry Love" & Martha & The Vandellas "Im Ready For Love" are similar and HDH wrote those and The Temptations "All I Need" has a sililar beat to the Supremes and Vandellas songs i just mentioned

RIP Norman Whitfield and a speedy recovery for Barrett Strong

Yeah this song was a big hit, so its a common record, but since its on the script label and not the arrowhead, that makes it kinda rare

Tecnically Gordy 7057 "I Know Im Losing You" in 1967 was the official start of the arrow label just like with Tamla 54149 "Aint No Mountain High Enough" was the start of the "Bar" design
