Eddie Kendricks Ultimate Collection CD

 Very Good
Like most Kendricks fans I'm a big Temptations fan. Eddie was a huge part of thier sound, and he was able to stand alone and keep on truckin'. Great lead vocals, but I did miss the beautiful harmonies from the Temps. Overall, I like this album and I'm glad I bought it.

 Eddie Cooks on This CD
The best thing i can say about this cd is that Eddie cooks on this one for sure, didn't get a chance to get into Eddie when he went solo but boy did i ever get into him when i purchased this cd. "Keep on Truckin'", the lead in is an extended version from the early 70's release but fairs very-well. I just can't get enough of the 2nd track "If You Let Me", each and every time i put the cd on i must hear this cut seven or eight times of more. (Just love it!). I dig "Shoeshine Boy", because i was a shoeshine boy back in 1966, and that particular song takes me back to high-school days. "Date with The Rain", is a number that the soul train dancers can strut their stuff down the soul train line even-today!. If no one has any Eddie Kendricks collection in their collection of cd's this would defintely be one to get and add. I'm saying to everyone who read this is you can't loose with this one. As Eddie says on one of the tune "Get It While It Hot". Keep Eddie memories alive... Buy it!

 Father of silky Falsetto.
School is now open!!!!! People, Eddie Kendricks is the father of the falsetto voice in America. This man has made that vocal pitch fashionable and manly. Many other artists: Phil Bailey of Earth Wind&Fire, Ted Mills of Blue Magic, Russell of the Stylistics, William Hart of the Delphonics, the late Harry Ray (R.I.P.), as well as countless others (me included), have all attended Eddie Kendricks High. As a former lead vocalist for the Temptations, Eddie was able to strike it out successfully as a solo artist. At one point, Eddie was Motown's most successful act. On this CD, you'll enjoy such songs as **Can I, **This Used To Be The Home Of Johnnie Mae, Skippin' Work Today, **Darling Come Back Home, as well as up- tempo hits: Date With The Rain, **Girl You Need A Change Of Mind, **He's A Friend and Boogie Down. This CD is a safe buy -- a BEST buy!!! Eddie, Thank you for the countless listening pleasure; R.I.P.!!! ** = My best songs
