  • Description

    Released towards the end of 1977, Hear To Tempt You saw the quintet record for the first time in Philadelphia where the team of Norman Harris, Ron Baker and Earl Young masterminded the sessions, working with some of the top arrangers, songwriters and musicians (including future Temptation Ron Tyson) responsible for the then-ever-popular Philly sound. A US Top 40 R&B album, the LP spawned two charted singles, Think For Yourself and In A Lifetime.

    For their second and final album for Atlantic, The Temptations turned to two brothers who had also been part of the original Motown hit factory, Brian and Eddie Holland. A US Top 50 R&B album, Bare Back (with its revealing back cover art) contained eight tunes co-penned by the Hollands with members of the group contributing the song, I See My Child (co-written with Benjamin Wright, their musical director) Atlantic released three singles from the album, two of which the title track and Ever Ready Love reached the US Top 50 R&B charts.
