A handy primer for the uninitiated, the 11-track budget-priced 20TH CENTURY MASTERS VOLUME ONE is an excellent overview of the Temptations` very best `60s singles. Probably the most consistently talented group of Motown`s golden era, The Temptations released literally dozens of terrific singles, but the compilers of this collection managed the difficult feat of paring down this tremendous pile of work down to a solid overview of the group`s absolute finest moments. Other than Norman Whitfield`s psychedelic anti-drug song "Cloud Nine," the anthology sticks to the Temptations` masterful string of Holland-Dozier-Holland love songs. There`s simpluy no arguing about the quality of songs like "My Girl," "The Way You Do The Things You Do" and "Ain`t Too Proud to Beg," and even lesser-known singles like "Beauty is Only Skin Deep" are classics. Fans already have all of these songs, of course, but this is both a great introduction and an indispensable party album.
