After his departure from the Temptations, Eddie Kendricks made some key records in the transition from the smooth soul of the early '70s into disco. This disc presents kickin' long versions of the essential "Keep on Truckin'," "Boogie Down," and "Girl You Need a Change of Mind" ("I'm for women's rights, I just want equal nights"), with Kendricks's voice floating confidently over funky tracks. A few other songs here don't measure up, but those three songs assure the post-Tempts Kendricks of his place in history, and tracks like "Goin' Up in Smoke" are fine period music. --Rickey Wright

4 out of 5 stars pretty good .......2007-03-13

it was a good cd but it is missing a song i wanted.

5 out of 5 stars Eddie Kendricks The Ultimate Collection.......2005-08-04

This cd is priceless in my opinion. Every songs was spectacular. Eddie Kendricks has a voice to make you to get up and move or sit down and swoon. There will never be a voice like his; I think he has earned the title of a classic maestro. I would recommend this cd to anyone. It was great.

5 out of 5 stars okay... bad news first..........2005-02-21

...there's more than a lil bit of disco brimmin up under this thang! you've been warned... but even at that, it's not flagrant gold-lame' disco, yaknow?
definitely some of this sounds dated... but the diamonds hidden in this croaker sack more than make up for everythang... if you dig smokey robinson, isaac hayes or even old funkadelic, then this is definitely worth you investing your money in... this is something every grown man needs in his music collection... i couldnt do without it.

4 out of 5 stars Good Set&also a Wlecome introduction.......2004-07-18

Eddie Kendricks was truly a Soulful Force Musically. He didn't get as far as he would have liked at Motown because there was so much Talent on the Roster&also He came from the Temptations&it's hard coming from a Household Group at trying to making a Solo Career."Keep on Truckin" dominates everything by Him&there was so much more. my cut on here is"Intimate Friends" that is the cut. a real Good Compilation.

5 out of 5 stars A great synopsis of Eddie Kendrick's works.......2004-07-17

If you're a fan of old school music like I am, you'll love this CD. The more you listen to it, you'll realize that Eddie Kendricks was the heart and soul of the Temptations. Not only was he an impeccable falsetto, he sang wonderfully in his natural voice. Eddie Kendrick paved the way for falsettos like Phillip Bailey (Earth Wind & Fire) and countless others. This is an uplifting CD that I truly enjoy every time I listen to it.

Product Description

As Motown groups such as The Temptations and The Supremes moved into the Seventies, their lineups proved to be fluid, and members left to establish solo careers. Three years after David Ruffin was gone from the Temptations lineup, co-lead singer Eddie Kendricks followed him into a solo career. His departure was certainly less acrimonious than Ruffins had been, as evidenced by the fact that all the Tempts gave warm testimonials on the sleeve of All By Myself, his solo debut. Keep On Truckin: The Motown Solo Collection, Vol. 1 collects four of Kendricks early albums All By Myself, People... Hold On, Eddie Kendricks, and For You produced by Frank Wilson. All of them feature both Eddies classic high tenor and his natural voice in beautifully sympathetic settings. Its part of a plan to see all of Kendricks catalogue reissued; these albums were digitally remastered in 2005 from the original master tapes to bring out every last measure of soul goodness. Incredibly, only People... Hold On was ever issued on CD a disc that has long been out of print. This set contains not only Kendricks pop- and R&B chart-topping Keep On Truckin, but also his No.1 R&B smash Shoeshine Boy and the influential dance cuts Date With The Rain and Girl You Need A Change Of Mind. Other treats hidden in the middle grooves of these records are some unexpected surprises, such as covers of Breads classic If, and Jim Croces Time In A Bottle. Less unusual, perhaps, but beautifully rendered, is his cover of Chuck Jacksons Any Day Now. Like his former Tempts partner David Ruffin, Kendricks exited the scene far too early, dying of cancer in October 1992 at the age of 52. Fortunately, he left behind a rich legacy of recordings. As liner note writer Brian Chin observes, In these four albums, a great artist, surrounded by other great artists, is called again to greatness, and responds like a champion.

5 out of 5 stars R.I.P. Eddie...Thanks for the great memories!!.......2006-08-29

Now whoever said that Eddie was all ballads and no funk surely hasn't heard this wonderful set of 4 of his albums: ALL BY MYSELF, PEOPLE...HOLD ON, EDDIE KENDRICKS, and FOR YOU. It brings a tear to my eye just to relive the wonderful moments I remember as a child in the 70s when my mum used to play these in the house almost on a constant basis!

ALL BY MYSELF, released in April 1971 (#6 R&B, #80 Pop) was Eddie's first solo album after leaving the Temptations. LET'S GO BACK TO DAY ONE is a funky opening with Eddie's vocal multi-layered ala Marvin Gaye! THIS USED TO BE THE HOME OF JOHNNIE MAE was the B-side of IT'S SO HARD FOR ME TO SAY GOODBYE (#37 R&B, #88 Pop) and I DID IT ALL FOR YOU, a popular Quiet Storm tune, was the B-side to CAN I (#37 R&B, #101 Pop), another popular Quiet Storm staple also performed by Brenda Holloway and most recently covered by Phil Perry. SOMETHING'S BURNING starts off slow and ends with a funky ending and the Jimmy Webb composition, DIDN'T WE close this set! What's wonderful is that the Temptations' notes to Eddie originally printed on the back of the album are reprinted for this release!

PEOPLE...HOLD ON, with its eye-catching photography by Weldon A. McDougal III, was originally released in May 1972, which fared better on the charts (#13 R&B, #131 Pop). According to the liner notes, Frank Wilson said in an interview for Eddie's ULTIMATE COLLECTION (1998) that it was a concept album dedicated to black America. It opens with IF YOU LET ME (#17 R&B, #66 Pop), originally performed by Jimmy Ruffin. LET ME RUN INTO YOUR LONELY HEART is the funky B-side to EDDIE'S LOVE (#35 R&B, #77 Pop) while on DAY BY DAY, Eddie's vocals are once again multi-layered. GIRL YOU NEED A CHANGE OF MIND is the biggest hit off here (#13 R&B, #87 Pop) with its innovative use of multi-drums throughout the track and still a favorite among club goers. SOMEDAY WE'LL HAVE A BETTER WORLD has a gospel feel to it and reminiscent of Stevie Wonder's HEAVEN HELP US ALL with Eddie singing in his natural register. MY PEOPLE...HOLD ON is a major highlight here with African drums opening the song and on the break and DATE WITH THE RAIN is another dance favorite among today's club goers. I'M ON THE SIDELINE has Eddie's voice once again multi-layered throughout the song and the album closes with JUST MEMORIES, the B-side to IF YOU LET ME and with it's operatic opening, remains another highlight to this album.

EDDIE KENDRICKS (#5 R&B, #18 Pop), released in May 1973, charted higher than the above, especially on the strength of the #1 R&B/Pop hit KEEP ON TRUCKIN', most recently resurrected and remixed by DJ Spinna for the MOTOWN: REMIXED compilation (2005). ONLY ROOM FOR TWO opens the album and the Caribbean-sounding DARLING COME BACK HOME (#26 R&B, #67 Pop), was another hit off here. EACH DAY I CRY A LITTLE is IMO Eddie's finest performance and also a Quiet Storm favorite while CAN'T HELP WHAT I AM is a light tune on being who he is. ANY DAY NOW (originally performed by Chuck Jackson) and NOT ON THE OUTSIDE (originally performed by the Moments) are underrated remakes of soul classics and Eddie makes it his own on both selections and the album closes with WHERE DO YOU GO (BABY), a beautiful Pam Sawyer/Gloria Jones composition about Eddie wondering where his woman is when he isn't there.

This compilation doesn't include BOOGIE DOWN which followed EDDIE KENDRICKS, but according to the liner notes, it will be released in another double-disc set! In the meantime, we get to hear FOR YOU, released November 1974 (#8 R&B, #108 Pop). It opens with the laid-back PLEASE DON'T GO AWAY, while ONE TEAR (#8 R&B, #71 Pop), originally for Marvin Gaye and SHOESHINE BOY (#1 R&B, #18 Pop) became the biggest hits off of this album. DEEP AND QUIET LOVE is an underrated Quiet Storm performance while LET YOURSELF GO is another underrated funk performance. I played this one at one of my parties and the response was amazing! IF YOU THINK (YOU CAN) has great word play throughout the song. IF is a great remake originally performed by Bread and TIME IN A BOTTLE is just as good, originally performed by Jim Croce, which ends the album.

Folks, if you are not by now, this wonderfully packaged 2-CD set will make or renew your interest in Eddie Kendricks, IMO the greatest tenor that ever graced a record!

5 out of 5 stars More More More.......2006-05-11

Please release more of Eddie Kendrics solo works. Especially Boogie Down, his best solo effort.

5 out of 5 stars In a word - EXCELLENT!!.......2006-03-12

For years, we fans of the legendary Eddie James Kendricks (1939-1992) have prayed, written Motown endless letters and even waged an online petition to have this come to pass - to have all of Eddie's original albums reissued on CD. I've always felt that Eddie's career as a soloist was never given its proper due because in the eyes of the industry, his work with the Temptations seemed to supercede everything he did on his own, and that was truly not fair. They wanted to boil his career down to two hits - "Keep On Truckin'" and "Boogie Down" - and like nothing else he did was worthwhile. Motown continued to contribute to this mode of thinking as well. Please! That is as far from the truth as you can get!

But finally, after so very long, some of Eddie's original albums are now available on CD. In this collection, we have four remastered EJK CDs from the 1970s:

ALL BY MYSELF (1971)
PEOPLE...HOLD ON (1972)
EDDIE KENDRICKS (1973)
FOR YOU (1974)

These four albums are chock full of quality material by Eddie, all produced by the team of Frank Wilson and Leonard Caston (except Eddie's debut LP, which was produced by Wilson alone). Looking for early popular cuts by EJK like "Can I", "This Used To Be The Home Of Johnnie Mae", "If You Let Me", "Girl You Need A Change of Mind", "Keep On Truckin'" and "Shoeshine Boy"? Well, like the compilation of hits CDs that Motown has issued previously, those songs are all here...but these are the albums where those choice cuts came from. Chronologically, the album BOOGIE DOWN from late 1973 - early '74 was completed and issued before FOR YOU. But due to the timing of the tracks on that album, BOOGIE DOWN couldn't be included here...but it will be in the next volume of Eddie's works, which will be released later on in '06. Be on the lookout for it.

I am very happy with this collection, and the remastering is nearly flawless. Only complaint I have is the remastering of the exquisite ballad "Each Day I Cry A Little" from the EDDIE KENDRICKS album - a song so hauntingly beautiful, it has to be one of the very best in the entire EJK catalog. However, the way it's mixed here has too much echo, the background singers' vocals are brought so far to the front at times you don't hear much of Eddie, and the strings are a bit overpowering, especially halfway through and towards the end of the song. I have the original vinyl LP and the mix is somewhat different. But other than that, this is a perfect collection of four of Eddie's excellent Motown solo albums. For anyone who has only brought Eddie's greatest hits CDs in the past and craved to have more, this is an absolute MUST for you to own!! Want to know why Eddie is one of the greatest R&B legends of all time and why he will never be forgotten? Song after song on this set shows the listener that this was no ordinary singer - here's the proof. Listen and enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Super Compilation on 2 cd's!.......2005-10-19

Here we have another prime example of the Hip O Select Motown music. Eddie Kendricks first 4 albums. Super hit songs with fine arrangements sung by the greatest R&B falsetto that ever lived. He is accompanied by the funkiest of brothers in the band. The 24 bit stereo remastering is super solid. Only 5000 sets available. What more can I say? Some people say that they like Motown music.

5 out of 5 stars Nice Memories of Eddie Kendricks.......2005-06-04

This is a superb collection of hits by performed by Eddie Kendricks during his solo career! For those who were fans during this period, all the best songs are included here, which surely will bring back many good memories. One of my favrorites, "Get The Cream Off The Top," written and arranged by Brian and Eddie Holland (of Motown fame), is included. In addition to smooth vocals from Eddie, you can hear the familiar and seductive orchestral arrangement that is a trademark of Holland-Dozier-Holland. Another of my favorites, the long version of, "Girl You Need A Change of Mind" has some great 70's funk to close out the song.

This is a must-have for Eddie Kendricks fans!

5 out of 5 stars Motown needs to get it together!!.......2003-06-24

I love Eddie Kendricks. I am a 19 yr old fan. His voice was and IS very beautiful and addictive. The only other male artist who comes close in my eyes is Maxwell.

[...].

You can buy it if you want, but it'll really leave you wanting more. It's mainly a repeat of the Ultimate collection and the Essential Collection. Lucky for me, my copy was a gift from the EJK Memorial Foundation when I attended this year's EJK Day. Any Eddie fans in the Washington DC Metro area should really try to go. It's a great tribute put together by Jimmy Dougans of the Young Senators, Eddie's traveling band.

I give it five stars for Eddie, but not for the Millenium part of it.

5 out of 5 stars Eddie is addictive.......2003-02-21

When people talk about Motown's greatest male singers, a lot of people automatically think of Smokey, Stevie and Marvin...but they tend to forget about Eddie Kendricks. Tall, dark, sexy and FIONE, and a voice that came from Heaven -- that was Eddie. People usually think of "Keep On Truckin'" when they hear his name, but he was more than just that one song. Eddie, already a legend because of his status as an "original Temptation" and his massively influencial vocal style, made a lot of good music as a solo artist during his years at Motown, and this CD is just a sample of it.

Because this is a budget-priced compilation of his biggest hits, there are some cuts that aren't here, however it justifiably covers his most successful works: "Boogie Down (single version)", "Happy", "He's A Friend", "Goin' Up In Smoke" and the unedited version of "Girl You Need A Change Of Mind", a club classic (which should ONLY be listened to in its unedited form -- that's how magnificent it is!) to name a few. I was glad to FINALLY get "Son of Sagittarius" and "One Tear" on CD after all these years (never understood why these songs didn't make the ULTIMATE COLLECTION, those songs were big R&B hits).

Also included by obtaining the licensing from RCA was the 1985 live performance of Eddie and David Ruffin at the Apollo Theater with Hall and Oates...I hadn't heard it in years and it brought back so many good memories. Just to hear this was worth the price of the CD!

Although the liner notes were so-so, I enjoyed this CD immensely and I highly recommend it to anyone. But I have to warn you, that once you hear the golden-throated tenor/falsetto vocals of Eddie Kendricks, you'll be hooked. You're bound to want to hear more!

Product Description

Our Motown In Japan trilogy continues with a 1973 Temptations concert that has never before been released on compact disc anywhere in the world. For those keeping track of the ever-changing Temptations lineup, at this time it consisted of Dennis Edwards, Richard Street, Damon Harris, Melvin Franklin, and Otis Williams. This lineup came together in 1971 after the departures of Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams and had a monster smash the following year with Papa Was A Rollin Stone. This tour, they were out in support of the modestly-titled Masterpiece album, and while they played about half the songs on that record in the concert, they didnt forget to pack in the hits. Also included was a gorgeous cover of Ewan Maccolls The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, which they had recorded in the studio for the All Directions album in 1972. Once again, we have included the original Japanese/English liner notes from the original LP release. As you might expect, the translations may be somewhat... inexact. Just ask Melbourne Franklin. But when you break open the shrinkwrap and pop it in the CD player, you will absolutely be transported to a great Temptations performance on a magical night far, far away.

5 out of 5 stars Leave no stone unturned........!!!.......2006-03-02

The search to obtain, when supply of this cd grows slim, need continue, and for a Tempatations fan, until it is firmly secured in the home music collection. It took long enough (over 30 years for this album to be availible in the U.S.), but here, we now have it. The Temptations "Live In Japan" album is considered the "rarest" Temptations" album ever released! The majority of Temptations fans never knew it existed, but it did! The album was recorded in Japan in 1973. Motown owned the rights to the recording. The album was released in Japan and Europe at that time, was never released in the U.S., until now, on cd. For Temptations record collectors, obtaining the original Japanese album signaled acquistion of a crowned gem in their Temptations record collection! Mint copies carried a +$100.00 price tag for many years. This cd clearly exposes the superior sound quality Japanese technology made availble at that time, crystal clear technology. With a little imagination, surround sound music system, closed eyes --- "are we in the audience"? Damon Harris takes "Love Woke Me Up This Morning" to legendary live recording status! Took the writer years to obtain the lp, not so with the cd, the day it was released! Excellent album, limited production? Several copies availible at time of this review. Buy time was yesterday, run no risk. For today, It's buy time!

5 out of 5 stars " A Great Live CD ".......2005-10-26

This is a great CD. Now you can access Damon Harris' voice and compare it to Eddie Kendricks, as well as, to Glen Leonard and Ron Tyson. His voice is crystal clear and he sounds just like Eddie. Damon was and still is the best replacement the Tempts ever had for Eddie. This is not a knock on the other first tenors who came after Damon, it's just a fact-period. As with some live albums/CDs you can't always hear the backgroung vocals that well, but most of the time they come shining thru, beautifully. When you hear Damon doing some of the songs that were originally recorded by Eddie, you'll see why I say he sounds so much like Eddie. Dennis and Richard are stellar as always. This is as good a live CD by the Temptations as they've ever recorded. It's definetly worth five stars.

5 out of 5 stars Thank you, Motown..........2007-04-16

...for finally giving this man the RESPECT he so richly deserved. You did this up right! THE THIN MAN: THE MOTOWN SOLO ALBUMS, VOL. 2 completes the entire Eddie Kendricks' Motown catalog that was initially released in 2005. For those of us who have been long time EJK lovers and new fans alike who have been clamoring for more of his music other than greatest hits collections, this was a dream come true. To hear this in its remastered glory is a treat for the ears!

This three CD collection picks up where KEEP ON TRUCKIN': THE MOTOWN SOLO ALBUMS, VOL. 1 left off. It features the remainder of Eddie's Tamla material: BOOGIE DOWN (1974), THE HIT MAN (1975), HE'S A FRIEND, GOIN' UP IN SMOKE (both 1976), SLICK (1977) and eight "new" cuts that have been in the vaults for years. Plus the photos, individual LP info and the liner notes are packaged very well, so as you're listening, you'll be sure to be looking through that booklet.

BOOGIE DOWN, in my opinion, is probably the best of all the Kendrick LPs recorded on Motown, with PEOPLE...HOLD ON (featured in VOL. 1 and my personal favorite) a very close second. With tight lyrics, consistently beautiful and romantic melodies - and not to mention hot dance jams, this is the album that defines the easy-going style of the former Temptations' lead vocalist. He effortlessly goes from crooning warm and heartfelt ballads to laying down his silky falsetto tenor on fun, deliciously infectious disco/funk tracks. Frank Wilson, who had produced all of the Kendrick Motown albums except for three, certainly knew how to utilize the best in the late singer. If you had not had a taste of Eddie's work other than "Keep On Truckin'", then this is a CD worth hearing.

THE HIT MAN is one of Eddie's less stellar efforts on Motown, but the songs which were the hits from this album ("Happy", "Get The Cream Off The Top"), plus the soothing "Skippin' Work Today" more than makes up for whatever else is lacking.

HE'S A FRIEND is excellent, from beginning to end - not a bad cut in the bunch. The pairing of Eddie with the Philly Sound was truly a match made in Heaven, and apparently I was not the only one who felt this way - they went back and hooked up again for the follow up, GOIN' UP IN SMOKE. Although most of GOIN' UP IN SMOKE sounds like outtakes from the HE'S A FRIEND sessions, it is still pretty solid.

The SLICK LP, Eddie's final for the label was released in 1977 - but was actually recorded two years before and was put in the vault. Apparently the people at Motown didn't feel like this album was in the same league as the ones produced by Frank Wilson, who had left the label by then (SLICK was produced by Leonard Caston, Wilson's partner) and put it on the shelf. In its wake, the "Philly connection" was made. However, the highlight of this album is the seductive ballad, "Intimate Friends", which was yet AGAIN sampled - this time most recently by Alicia Keys in 2005 for her song "Unbreakable" that was on her UNPLUGGED CD. Being biased, I have to say that I would rather listen to the Kendricks' original.

For me, a Kendrick completist, the best part of this collection are the eight never-before-released tracks, which were all recorded between 1971 and 1975, my favorite being "That's All Behind You". This set is a bit pricey but well worth the purchase, one you will not regret putting money down for.

5 out of 5 stars Eddie Kenricks fan.......2007-03-18

great to see most of Eddie's album's now on cd-alot of 70's dance material that still holds up-why didn't Motown do something with these to promote them?living in the DC area I got to hear alot of his music on the radio & in the clubs!!-a great collection of music from "THE THIN MAN!!!

5 out of 5 stars The Last 3 Eddie Kendricks Motown Albums, Yes, Yes, Yes!.......2007-01-28

If there are any Temptations fans who appreciated the tenor voice of Eddie Kendricks and continued to enjoy Kendricks solo endeavors, then this collection is for you. His last 3 albums for Motown make up the bulk of this collection. This is the second volume of the complete Kendricks on Motown, carefully remastered in 24 bit. Great musical performances, nice liner notes and packaging. Only 5000 or so will be printed.

5 out of 5 stars Masterpiece!.......2006-10-14

The following is an except of a review I originally wrote for EDDIE KENDRICKS: THE MOTOWN SOLO ALBUMS VOL. 1. It is to give you an idea of what to expect on this wonderful album!

PEOPLE...HOLD ON, with its eye-catching photography by Weldon A. McDougal III, was originally released in May 1972, which fared better on the charts (#13 R&B, #131 Pop). Frank Wilson said in an interview for Eddie's ULTIMATE COLLECTION (1998) that it was a concept album dedicated to black America. It opens with IF YOU LET ME (#17 R&B, #66 Pop), originally performed by Jimmy Ruffin. LET ME RUN INTO YOUR LONELY HEART is the funky B-side to EDDIE'S LOVE (#35 R&B, #77 Pop) while on DAY BY DAY, Eddie's vocals are once again multi-layered. GIRL YOU NEED A CHANGE OF MIND is the biggest hit off here (#13 R&B, #87 Pop) with its innovative use of multi-drums throughout the track and still a favorite among club goers. SOMEDAY WE'LL HAVE A BETTER WORLD has a gospel feel to it and reminiscent of Stevie Wonder's HEAVEN HELP US ALL with Eddie singing in his natural register. MY PEOPLE...HOLD ON is a major highlight here with African drums opening the song and on the break and DATE WITH THE RAIN is another dance favorite among today's club goers. I'M ON THE SIDELINE has Eddie's voice once again multi-layered throughout the song and the album closes with JUST MEMORIES, the B-side to IF YOU LET ME and with it's operatic opening, remains another highlight to this album.

4 out of 5 stars still sounds good.......2005-09-11

this is a great cd . the bad news is it is hard to find. i am looking for it to be reissue very soon. who am i kidding.!!!!.but i love this cd so i will wait for it to be reissue.

5 out of 5 stars Oh, I Remember........2004-05-08

Five stars for Eddie's Love, alone.

This is the only product on which you can find the cut, Eddie's Love. Unless, that is, you are fortunate enough to find it via LimeWire or another file-sharing protocol.

Oh, do I remember.

5 out of 5 stars PEOPLE...HOLD ON is Eddie at his best.......2003-07-09

This album, PEOPLE...HOLD ON, is my all time favorite by Eddie Kendricks. This was his second solo effort after leaving the Temptations, and it clearly defined the musical direction he would be taking in his career. Recorded a year before his first real taste of commercial (read: crossover) success (1972), the material and production presented here probably outshined anything he ever made that came afterward. Now this is not to downplay Kendricks' smashes "Keep On Truckin'" or "Boogie Down" or any of his stellar subsequent LPs; I loved those songs as a little kid and I still enjoy listening to them to this day. But PEOPLE...HOLD ON marked a real departure for Eddie: he got rid of the formulatic sound that had marked most of Motown's records, and chose a Washington, D.C.-based R&B band, The Young Senators (which was also his backup band on tour), to play behind him on these sessions instead. The result: an amazing chunk of funk with a splash of honey added to it. And Eddie's confidence as a soloist had definitely grown since his debut in 1971.

Produced by (now the Reverend) Frank Wilson and Chess Records alumni Leonard Caston, Jr., PEOPLE...HOLD ON was a concept album that was specifically geared towards Eddie's largest fan base --African-Americans -- and sold well among that market (as would all of his solo works). It featured cut after cut of songs that made the Thin Man from Birmingham get back to his roots: gospel-drenched ballads ("Day By Day", "Just Memories"), ballads with a funk/reggae-tinged edge ("If You Let Me", "Eddie's Love", "I'm On The Sideline"), hot dance cuts ("Girl You Need A Change of Mind", "Date With The Rain") and soulful message music ("Someday We'll Have a Better World", "My People...Hold On").

The title song, "My People...", is an absolute triumph, an adventurous, hypnotic tune that features African drums, chants, hand claps, and dramatic spoken passages. Talk about going back to your roots? Well, Eddie really put it on us here, taking us all the way back to the Motherland, with an almost revolutionary message. Particularly worth noting is the full version of the brilliant arrangement of "Girl You Need a Change of Mind", a song that addresses feminism, which is included here in its full glory. Relentlessly coming at you, it has a couple of breakdowns in the song that were similarly used with great success on Eddie's later hits "Truckin'" and "Boogie Down". "Change of Mind" has been documented by many to be the first disco record (playing time: 7:30), and it is still very popular in club circles and on classic soul radio. It stamped Eddie with the reputation for waxing some of the tightest dance tracks to ever come out of Motown in the '70s. His falsetto sounds wonderfully seductive, with the male voices in the background encouraging his rap...convincing an independent woman that he's in her corner, but he's asking her not to get so caught up in being a superwoman that she puts making love to him out of her mind ("Now I'm for women's rights, I just want equal nights"). Whatcha say to that?

Also worth mentioning is the the opening tune, a Frank Wilson composition, "If You Let Me". Eddie's pristine natural tenor is the focus here, and it is one of the best vocal performances he has ever turned in -- in or out of the Temptations. Pouring emotion into each lyric, you kind of get the feeling that the song indeed held some deep personal meaning for him. When he sings "Just tryin' to make ya see, my mind done all but left me"-- you honestly believe it. It was also Eddie's highest charting R&B single since his departure from the group, and signaled that something huge was on the horizon.

IMO, the only flaw on the album is "Let Me Run Into Your Lonely Heart", which is a raw, funky little cut, but the arrangement of the song is a bit too discordant for me to fully enjoy. But aside from that, PEOPLE...HOLD ON is something definitely worth "holding on" to, a true soul classic. Once you get this in your hands, you'll never want to let go. Motown, you know what to do -- get it back out there for us to enjoy on CD! This is, without a doubt, EJK's masterpiece.

4 out of 5 stars People Hold On by Eddie Kendricks.......2003-07-06

Excellent album. I have it on vinyl (on CD remastered would be a lot better though)and it still kicks after 30+ years. Contains the R&B hits If You Let Me and Girl You Need a Change of Mind, but the whole album is great, especially Eddie's Love and My People Hold On. A must have.

5 out of 5 stars I love this cd!!.......2003-08-12

I love EJK's voice!! His soothing voice has really helped take my mind to somewhere far, far away. My only complaint is that, while I know that KoTruckin' and Boogie Down were his two biggest songs, I'd like to see some of his other tunes released. I think he made great songs, and if another compilation is put out, I'd like to see something other than what's on the Ultimate, Millenium, and Essential Collections. T Or Motown and Atlantic could just rerelease Eddie's albums onto cds...pretty please? Or heck, if you don't want to issue individuals, just do some type of boxed set.

3 out of 5 stars A nice try, but...........2003-02-15

not quite there. Motown has STILL failed to present a collection of Eddie's music that is worthy of the talent this man possessed. With bits and pieces from various albums that were released during his Motown tenure, it attempts to cover some of the tracks missed on the ULTIMATE COLLECTION and AT HIS BEST. In fact, the second half of the CD entirely focuses on his excellent Philly Sound work. Motown didn't really want to promote this material (could it be admitting that, by the 1970s, the "Motown Sound" was dead??) and that's unfortunate, because many of the songs Eddie made in Philly that weren't released as singles could've been huge hits. But THE ESSENTIAL COLLECTION still comes up short. There are better, more solid tracks that could have been used...the lengthy tunes "Body Talk" and "I've Got To Be" made it instead of "Each Day I Cry A Little", "Please Don't Go Away" and "Deep And Quiet Love"? Come on, now! However, a bright spot is the inclusion of the beautiful ballads "Just Memories" (1972) and "Honey Brown" (1974), which have been hard to find on CD for years.

Motown/Universal, let's stop the guessing what tracks we Eddie fans would like to have on a single CD, shall we? Just re-release ALL of his stuff on 2-fer CDs and we'll ALL be happy!

5 out of 5 stars A Rare Find!.......2003-01-13

This shows Eddie's most versatile material. Many of these tracks you cannot find anymore (which is sad, considering that all of his albums were GREAT!) If you are a real fan, this is a must for your collection.

5 out of 5 stars A DAMN GOOD SONG!.......2005-11-05

In 1971 George Harrison got the ball rolling with the Concert for Bangladesh and, over time other artists lent their talent for causes as well. Sun City, a delightfully militant, serious, cutting edge and probably the grittiest, most spirited effort kicked off the summer of 1985.

Although I never liked the song "We Are the World," I fully supported the artists and rationale behind it. I didn't like that one because I felt the melody was maudlin and I didn't like the way it made me feel.

"Sun City" on the other hand is in-your-face politics and a rallying cry and banners being waved. It is a demand for the end of Apartheid in South Africa and a refusal to play venues that support Apartheid beliefs. Apartheid was notorious for the white-minority government, which was established in 1948. A myriad of talented artists including Little Steven, Ruben Blades, Bruce Springstein, Ringo Starr, Pete Townshend and many others poke their finger in the Apartheid eye with this in your face, militant anti-war and pro-humanitarian rights cry. This is a very serious, intense song that will make you want to dance as well! It will certainly arouse your social conscience!

The three versions of this wonderful song all stay true to the core melody. There are variations in the lyrics and one version alternates with verses of "we are the world," which I don't feel is as good as the other versions of this intensely stellar song.

Be sure to check out "No More Apartheid." Peter Gabriel's strong vocals ring out deep and pure and the message could not be made plainer. "Revolutionary Situation," is a musical montage replete with news clips; excerpts from songs and other revolutionary anthems. You can also hear police dogs barking, which brings to mind the Jim Crow southern United States during the Civil Rights era. "I am an Afrikaaner" brings home the message of terrorism and oppression under the Apartheid regime.

"Let Me See Your ID" is an outraged outcry agains the oppressive regime. Miles Davis' impressive trumpet playing underscores just how serious a matter this really is.


"Silver & Gold" is a hard, cutting edge piece about mining in South Africa at the expense of people. Bono lends his voice to this one along with Rolling Stones Keith Richards & Ron Wood. You can hear and feel the anger, so palpable in this song as to gain a better understanding of the issues this is about.

Sun City was more specific and more focused in its effort to call attention to social ills and injustices. Other efforts, such as Live Aid, Band Aid and USA For Africa as well as Farm Aid were much more global. Sun City is the demand for the release of Nelson Mandela and the UN boycott of South Africa.

In 1990, Mandela was finally released from prison and became President of South Africa, the first black person to hold this office. (Kind of reminds you of 1989, when Lech Walesa, a shipyard worker who was jailed in the 1980s for his direct involvement in Solidarity and the push for reforms on the shipyards; in the factories and in government. On June 4, 1989, Lech Walesa proudly voted in a free Polish Election, the first held since the end of WWII and was elected as leader of Poland)!

Music does have power to change the world. Go out there and listen to this one and it will certainly motivate you!

5 out of 5 stars We ain't gonna play Sun City!.......2004-02-03

The Concert for Bangladesh may have been the start of benefit albums, and for a worthy cause. Sun City though, was the most militant, and demonstrated that rock and roll was about rebellion, not the Twisted Sister "We're Gonna Take It" or the whiny punk rock "I don't wanna..." attitude, but about social protest. The Sun City album took on the humanitarian crimes (read human rights violations, lack of voting rights, "relocation to phony homelands") committed by the white-minority government of South Africa from 1948, when the policy of apartheid (rhymes with both white and hate) was first introduced. Steve Van Zandt, late of the E Street Band and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, produced and organized this indictment of the totalitarian regime. The title refers to a whites-only "Vegas in the desert" entertainment resort symbolizing the privileges of the white minority.

There are three versions of the title song, of which the opening track is the original. "Rockers and rappers united and strong" take turns singing the verses a la We Are The World, condemning Reagan's "quiet diplomacy" and phony homelands like Bophuthatswana. Pete Townshend's guitar, Ringo Starr's drums, Clarence Clemons' saxophone, and Miles Davis's trumpet contribute to the backing instrumentation.

The droning guitar and Peter Gabriel's wailing vocals form "No More Apartheid." That is followed by "Revolutionary Situation," a collage of music, bits of audio from press statements, and other revolutionary anthems compiled and edited by Keith LeBlanc and the News Dissector. Sounds of barking police dogs, protesters calling for both peace and violence, audio bits from Nelson Mandela, Piet Botha, and Ronald Reagan are put together. The ominous voice of "I am an Afrikaaner" demonstrates the powerful aura of oppression dominating the country.

The alternately energetic and laid back "Let Me See Your ID" is a series of righteously enraged raps, with even Peter Wolf and Midnight Oil's Peter Garrett contributing, with some musing, biting ironic commentary by Gil Scott-Heron, such as getting vocabulary from the media, such as Third World or casualties. On the latter, he says "nothing casual about dying, nothing casual about standing for freedom". Miles's magical trumpet-playing can be heard.

The instrumental jam "The Struggle Continues" was the first time I heard Miles Davis and this fits squarely in his post-fusion era, with support from drummer Sonny Okosuns, guitarist Stanley Jordan and keyboardist Herbie Hancock, whose instrumental solo bit is a highlight the same as Davis's trumpet was in the beginning moment of the jam.

"Silver And Gold" began life here before its inclusion on Rattle And Hum. Bono sings here without U2, aided by Rolling Stones Keith Richards and Ron Wood, about mining the above metals. The U2 frontman's voice becomes a barely contained whisper in parts, intense angst and anger in other places.

While benefit group collaborations like Band Aid, Live Aid, and USA For Africa, formed the basis of mass culture, the global village, and cultural crossover in a corporately-sponsored world, Sun City was more serious in its intent, calling for the release of Nelson Mandela and supporting the UN-sponsored cultural boycott of South Africa. Eventually, in 1990, five years after the Sun City album, Mandela was freed and became South Africa's first black African president, and I can't help thinking that Steve Van Zandt and the musicians here had a hand in that.

5 out of 5 stars A milestone.......2000-08-08

Sun City is a testament to what people can do. Not only is it a GREAT song, it was for a GREAT cause.

3 out of 5 stars Last Time great voices heard!.......2003-07-20

I am a huge fan of David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks as a singer myself David and Eddie are huge favorites of mine. I use some of there songs for warming up and the best song on this album was One Last Kiss it's such a great song that sax solo is wonderful Dave's singing and the melody was killer should of been a lite fm classic single, I can't Believe It and One More For The Loney Hearts Club are the other songs that are very good.the rest of the songs are okay.this was a reunion of the surviving lead singers in the Temptations at that time since Paul was dead and deserved to be a big hit but wasn't,It is an album that was better than anything the new version of the Tempts were putting out in the 80's till today.of corse this was the last recorded work before Eddie and Dave's deaths 3 years later so it was a final gift.If you can find this anywhere pick it up not as great as Eddie or Dave solo but worth a listen.
