The years 1967 and 68 were banner years for
Norman Whitfield. He replaced Smokey Robinson as main producer for the Temptations and slowly guided them toward a harder sound.
Whitfield settled into a partnership with Roger Penzabene, who wrote from the heart. These songs were inspired by a drama going on within Penzabenes marriage, which would end badly. Thats Eddie Kendricks back on lead vocals.
The Temptations: Youre My Everything
Penzabene found out that his wife was cheating on him, and it produced this classic. Barrett Strong wrote the piano intro on a piano that had only ten functioning keys. Thats David Ruffin on lead vocals. Shortly after the release of this single, Penzabene killed himself.
The Temptations: I Wish it Would Rain
With Penzabene gone, Whitfield partnered with Motown veteran Barrett Strong. David Ruffin left the group, and Dennis Edwards replaced him. This was the first time Whitfield entered the world of psychedelic soul, and it won the duo a Grammy.
Otis Williams introduced Whitfield to the music of Sly & the Family Stone, and at first Whitfield was put off. I don't want to get into all that crazy shit, he said. That aint nothing but a little passing fancy. But a few weeks later, Whitfield laid down the instrumental track of a record that started a whole new direction for his sound. All five Temptations share vocal duties at some point. Thats Mongo Santamaria on conga drums.
The Temptations: Cloud Nine

In 1967,
Norman Whitfield courted immortality, although he didnt realize it until late 68. It started with a song Whitfield and Strong had written in 66 and recorded with the Miracles. It didnt survive quality control because Gordy hated it.
Marvin Gaye recorded it, but there was a battle between Whitfield and Gaye as to how the song should be sung. Eventually Gaye gave in and sang it in a higher key, giving his voice a slight rasp. Gordy hated it.
Then Gladys Knight recorded it in Motowns attempt to out-soul Aretha Franklin. Gordy still hated it, but he released it, and it became a huge hit for Motown.
Gladys Knight & the Pips: I Heard it Through the Grapevine
Fast forward a year. Whitfield persuaded Gordy to release Gayes version on an album, even though Gordy still hated the song. Then all of a sudden, R&B DJs across America began sampling that one album cut. Now Gordys hand was forced, and he agreed to release it as a single. It was the single most important and influential record ever released by Motown up to that time. The instrumental track was groundbreaking.
Marvin Gaye: I Heard it Through the Grapevine
When Creedence Clearwater Revival recorded this song in 1970, they used Gayes basic treatment. John Fogerty turned it into an 11 minute classic.

In 1969,
Norman Whitfield picked up where he had left off with Marvin Gaye. This song was written by Whitfield, Strong and Janie Bradford, and was first recorded by the Temptations as an album track in 1966 with Eddie Kendricks on lead vocal. Now it was Gayes turn.
Marvin Gaye: Too Busy Thing About My Baby
This was first recorded by the Isley Brothers and written by Whitfield and Strong. Whitfield took the up-tempo item and turned it into slowed-down psychedelic soul.
Marvin Gaye: Thats the Way Love Is

And thanks for playing 'Last Dance'. Donna Summer was a favorite of mine even though I didn't care much for Disco.
She was a Good Girl.
