Eddie Kendricks - Keep On Truckin' The Motown Solo Albums Vol. 01 [2005]
Finally, Motown has packaged and released Mr. Kendrick's albums. Mr. Kendricks sound was definitely Motown, but Frank Wilson knew how to find the right mix and arraignments to fit Mr. Kendricks' voice. I was happy as a puppy in a flower garden when I saw this collection. This collection gives me a chance to hear Mr. Kendricks first album release "All By Myself". I can still hear the Sly Stone and the emerging funk sound in this one. His second release "My people Hold On" was the album that had several hits that got plenty of rotation on Soul 73 back in the day. "If You Let Me" and Eddie's Love" man, do they bring back some memories of cruising around the small Oklahoma and Texas towns. On Mr. Kendricks' third album "Eddie Kendricks", "Keep on Truckin'" was the big hit. Anybody who remembers Eddie's high smooth voice enticing you to shake it up on the dance floor or setting a mood to get your slow drag with that fine honey or dude back in the day, needs to get this album.

Eddie Kendricks - The Thin Man The Motown Solo Albums Vol. 02 [2006]
I have always considered Eddie Kendricks to be the best lead tenor of all time and you'll understand why when you purchase The Thin Man: The Motown Solo Albums Vol 2. While you're at it you should also pick up Vol 1 as you'll then be able to enjoy his post Temptation sounds - sounding like he was still fronting the group through the changing sounds on Vol 2. In this compilation we see Eddie evolve into a more mature vocalist with a greater range in the types of songs performed. Throughout the albums featured in Thin Man Vol 2 one gets the feeling that Eddie is singing to you about stuff we all have gone through and understand. In my opinion lovers of Eddie Kendricks should grab both f these compilations - you will not be disappointed. (Amazon)

  1. Thanks BB, these go nice with the David Ruffin. Hopefully you have got my messages. The situation is worse than I realised, so I could be very hit and miss or vanish altogether (at any time). In case it's the latter, thank you for all up to now :)

      I have not received any messages from you other than what you post here. Why do you say you may vanish at anytime? I hope you are OK. Please respond.
