On the 74th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom & Zeus welcome back special guest, author, host of the new podcast 300 Favorite Albums & Hall Of Famer, James Campion, to review the 1967 classic Motown album From The Temptations "The Temptations With A Lot O' Soul."

In 1967 the Temptations were hitting their prime with their "classic 5 lineup" just coming off their major breakthrough album Back In Black with their "classic 5" era lineup of singers, David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin and Paul Williams.

The Temptations With A Lot O' Soul made it to #7 on Billboard album charts and was their biggest selling album from their classic 5 era. The album featured hits like (I Know) I'm Losing You, All I Need, You're My Everything & more. The great Funk Brothers provided their music and Norman Whitfield writing and production was all over the album as usual.

This album continued The Temptations unique one of a kind soul music and style. David Ruffin was solidified as the main lead singer, but valuable contributions and lead vocals was still provided by the other members.

This was Zeus' pick and as usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew.

So tune in to find out all about Zeus' man crush on David Ruffin and why yesterday football stars from Tecmo Bowl and more like Warren Moon, Barry Sanders and Dennis Green make appearances!
