is what this album invokes. This is my FAVORITE TEMPTS album and one that is more meaningful now then it was when I first heard it. When I first heard it, I was a junior in high school. I eventually had this one on 8-Track, but before that, my favorite radio station, [local station], just about played every song on the album...and what songs to choose from: "Happy People," "Shakey Ground," "GLASS HOUSE," "I'm a Bachelor," "A Song for You" and my favorite jam, "MEMORIES." I hear that song and get CHILLS. Dennis Edwards, my favorite leading man in the Tempts history, is in fine voice throughout and on this song, he's too on target! Remember, "if you're livin' in a GLASS HOUSE, don't throw no stones"...and get this CD if you don't already have it! A 70's CLASSIC!

Rickey Wright got it wrong, this album is all that and a bag of chips, and a pack of Bubblelicious! 1975, I was a freshman in college and everyone was jamming to 'Shakey Ground', but I was always drawn to the "b" (ballad) side of the set; A Song for You, Memories, Firefly and I'm a Bachelor. Not a weak sister in the bunch, all prime filet. That five-part harmonizing that no one could touch was in fine, fine form. Dennis earned his "Temptations Forever" tag with this one, he put his own stank on it, beyond any of the Norman Whitfield days...for me anyway. There was nothing after this album that touched me the way this one did.

I was blessed to see the "Original" Temps; Otis, Paul, Eddie, David and Melvin at the tender age of 13 and YES they were the singin'est, steppin'est, dressin'est group out there, truly "the Emperors of Soul"...GET THIS.

A Song For You is a great album. Appears that some of the average rated reviewers are stuck in the My Girl era, the 60s. The album is a even balance of fast and slow tracks. The up tempo cuts are kickin, The ballads are wonderful. 5 stars!!!!!

This was the last album/cd that for me, at least, maintained the richness of the " Temptations' sound " . For one thing, it's the last cd with the underated great first tenor Damon Harris. Damon's voice sounded so much like Eddie Kendricks, it's scarry. I was sad to see him leave. The Tempt's sound was never quite the same. Further proof of this can be heard on The temptation CD " Live In Japan ", which was recorded in late 1973. On this CD you can clearly hear how much Damon Harris sounds like Eddie Kendricks, because it's live and they do some of the old classics that were sung by Eddie. This is not to say that they weren't still great, they were/are. But listen to the harmonies with Damon on top,and as Damon sings lead on the six albums he recorded, while he was a member of the group, and you'll have to admit that the sound was decidely different, once Glen Leonard took over at first tenor. Damon sounds so much like Eddie. But getting back to this album, it's as great an album as ever done by this collection of " Tempts " . For me, this is the best collection of Temptations aside from the original five (if you allow for the fact that David really isn't an original, though most people consider him to be, myself included.) . I love both the "A" side and the "B" side, though the "B" side with " A Song for You" , " Memories" , " I'm a Bachelor " (which they wrote) and " Firefly " are all classics, indeed. An exceptional album/cd-period. Definitely five stars.

This is one of the best of all Temptations albums of all times. The albums does not have one bad track on it. The music arrangements are tight. Side a (Before CD's came out) was the dance side opening with "Happy People", "Glasshouse" is another monster groove. "Shady Ground" of course was penned down by the late Ed Hazel of Funkadelic. His guitar playing along with Billy Bass (one of P-funks Bass player) kicks butt. The B-side was the more mellow side with Dennis Edwards singing "A Song For You" will leave you breathless. THe entire album is just excellent. A must buy. GET IT!
