DAVIDFAN'S REVIEW OF "LEGACY":

There are some good songs on here. Ok none are good, They're all GREAT(except one)! Here is the track listing with a mini review of the song (example TRACK NUMBER-SONG-MINI REVIEW). The CD in general is done in Temptations style, If you like good music I promise you will love this CD. 1 - Still tempting - Kind of like reading a book about the temptations (The temptations of the 60's) It starts out with: "It was on a cold winter night, January 1964*, Detroit Michagin. 5 young men walked into music history not knowing they would become part of a legacy that would outlive them all. The sound of Motown." With the founder Otis Williams narrorating. 2 - 'Round here- Starts with a blotch of chords, then a harp and doesn't sound like much to listen to at first, But once you give it a little time it has a Jazz/rap meets Soul/funk ... Doesn't sound like a great mix of music types but you'll be surprised when you hear it. 3 - Stay together- Starts with a bassline (nontempts style) But is still a great song, Wonderful vocals. True Temptations material. 4 - Something special - Features the voice of Joe Hendron, The temptations bassman. Joe is GREAT! and the song it self is the kind of song you listen to over,over,over, and over again 5 - 50/50 love - There has been alot of debate among tempts fans wether this is a good song or more of a "B-SIDE", To me there is no debate, It is perfect. Harmony is there, So is beat, Great lyrics. This is a song that could easily bring a new younger audiance to the temptations. 6- Make love to the music - Starts off with a "MUST BE THE MONEY" riff, then goes into this diso beat. The sound quility rocks, and the song is great. Not the best on the CD, But I could listen to it alot. 7- You are nessesary in my life- It starts of slowly ... and once you get up to about 1 minute and 20 seconds it picks up the beat ... But it is still the worst song on the CD ... I have no patience for it, And would rather they recorded a differant song. 8- Mr. Fix It - This features Joe again, and once again he is absolutely in the groove! Not only is it a life leson that teaches you 2 things A: Pay more attention to your partner B: Never pay someone to do your household work (plumbing,electronics,ect) but it is also a song the empisizes that sound that made the temptations them. 9- All the wrong people- Ron Tyson's voice is superb, And Terry Weeks rips this one up.(in a good way) 10- Baby It's me - The piano/guitar intro is worth the price of the CD ... Then it goes into the song, And If you played it for someone who wasn't a temptations fan (or knew who they were even) Someone might swear it was Usher or someone like that. This song is perfect for they way R&B has evolved (temptations in my opinion molded R&B) since the early 60's to now. The temptations managed to do this PERECTLY for todays music market. 11-Why can't we be lovin' friends - Music blends perfectly with the voices. Just the way the temptations do this song makes it worth listening to. Go buy the CD and listen to it, You'll understand what I mean. 12-Never let you down- This one reminds me of one of those FOLGERS commercials, Were you wonder who does those songs, and think they should be signed to a record label. Fortuneatly, We know who does this song, And they are signed. I recomend this song to anyone who is a temptations fan,or just likes good music. * January 1964 was when David Ruffin entered the group, and they got there first tastes of success.
