Lost and Found: You've Got to Earn It (1962–1968)

May 04, 2024

Lost and Found: You've Got To Earn It (1962–1968) is a compilation album by The Temptations. Released by Motown Records in 1999, it includes twenty previously unreleased Temptations records alongside previously unreleased mixes of "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" and "You've Got to Earn It". Most of the songs were recorded during the group's "Classic 5" era with David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks as lead singers, although there are some tracks present which were recorded with Ruffin's predecessor, Elbridge Bryant, in the lineup. There's also one track that was recorded with Ruffin's successor, Dennis Edwards.

Overview edit

All three of the Temptations' predominant lead singers, David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, and Paul Williams, are featured on the album. Williams gives dramatic performances on songs such as "Last One Out is Brokenhearted", "Tear Stained Letter", and "I Now See You Clear Through My Eyes". Early-1960s recordings such as "Camouflage" [Version 1] and "My Pillow" show Kendricks at an early stage in his career. Later recordings like "No Time" and "Dinah" (later recorded as a solo track by David Ruffin) show Kendricks with the matured voice today familiar to the public. "What Am I Gonna Do Without You", "Only a Lonely Man Would Know", and "That'll Be The Day" are led by Ruffin.

The last studio recording on the album, "We'll Be Satisfied", includes all three singers on leads. This was a rare occasion for the group during this period, although co-led songs became more frequent in the Temptations' repertoire during their psychedelic period. The album closes with a live performance of "My Girl", which was performed a week after the studio version was recorded.
