{"title":"Eddie Kendricks Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eEddie Kendricks was an American singer and songwriter who was one of the founding members of the Motown vocal group The Temptations. He was born in Union Springs, Alabama in 1939. He began his career as a member of The Cavaliers, who released their debut single, \"Fannie Mae,\" in 1961.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKendricks went on to join The Temptations in 1962 and became a major part of the group's sound, with his high tenor voice and lead vocal abilities. He sang lead on many of the group's biggest hits, including \"My Girl,\" \"Get Ready,\" and \"Ain't Too Proud To Beg.\" He also co-wrote \"Don't Look Back,\" \"Runaway Child, Running Wild,\" and \"I Wish It Would Rain.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKendricks released his debut solo album, All By Myself, in 1971 and had some success with the singles \"Girl You Need A Change Of Mind,\" \"Keep On Truckin',\" and \"Shoeshine Boy.\" He released four more solo albums throughout the 1970s, and in 1980, he reunited with The Temptations for the Reunion album. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKendricks's standout albums include his debut solo album, All By Myself, and the Temptations albums Cloud Nine and Puzzle People. His standout songs include \"My Girl,\" \"Get Ready,\" \"Ain't Too Proud To Beg,\" \"Girl You Need A Change Of Mind,\" and \"Keep On Truckin'.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about Eddie Kendricks is that he was the first Temptations member to leave the group, when he departed in 1971 to pursue a solo career.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"eddie-kendricks-peoplehold-on-283548","title":"Eddie Kendricks – People...Hold On","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor his second outing People...Hold On (1972), former Temptations leader Eddie Kendricks expanded his horizons, dabbling with communally conscious soul and making initial forays into dance music that would predate disco. As he had done for Kendricks solo debut All by Myself (1971), producer Frank Wilson contributes several tunes. Among them is \"If You Let Me\" that kicks off the disc with a bright groove, custom-made for the vocalists' sanguine lead. Things get downright funky on the sanctified \"Let Me Run into Your Lonely Heart.\" The mercurial beat is bathed in distortion and wah-wah guitar that trades back and forth with a syncopated clavinet. All the while, Kendricks shows off his range-free tenor as he effortlessly vacillates in and out of his trademark overdrive falsetto. The sacred influence of \"Day by Day\" is underscored by some stellar keyboard with organ and piano runs that could just as easily have been heard in a Sunday morning prayer meeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nearly eight-minute \"Girl You Need a Change of Mind\" is nothing short of an epic precursor to the extended four-on-the-floor numbers that would soon be christened as \"disco.\" In addition to providing an above average R\u0026amp;B groove, Kendricks' new band -- the Washington D.C.-based Young Senators -- are joined by the unmistakable touch of Eddie \"Bongo\" Brown's rhythmically limber congas. The record buying and radio listening public obviously agreed as the song was edited and issued on a 45 rpm that made it to the Top 15 R\u0026amp;B Singles survey. Returning to the project's thematic motif, \"Someday We'll Have a Better World\" is a midtempo optimistic number with a plea for a more peaceful co-existence. It even goes so far as to directly reference the violence -- presumably domestic as well as in Vietnam -- when Kendricks pleads for a time when \"...we won't have to destroy each other\" and \"men can lay down their guns.\" The project's title composition \"My People...Hold On\" is stunning on a completely different level as the artist reconnects with his musical heritage with a languid and methodical bed over which Kendricks raps, practically begging for sanity within the socially troubled African-American community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Allmusic\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Eddie Kendricks\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Elemental Music, Tamla, UMG Recordings, Inc.\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_usa\"\u003eUSA\u003c\/a\u003e \u0026amp;
