Sky’s The Limit

Released

The stand-out track here is perhaps one of the most beautiful pieces of music Motown ever released and certainly a career highlight for vocalist Eddie Kendricks, the sublime ‘Just My Imagination.’ Elsewhere you get twelve and a half minutes of their version of ‘Smiling Faces Sometimes’ in which Whitfield assembles one of his production-line wide-screen soul-epics featuring all manner of orchestration, vamps, jams and solos. A solid 1971 outing from Motown’s Temptations, a mix of the sweetest soul and Norman Whitfield-driven soul-psychedelia.
