Annual version match under review

The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.

Two actual annual entries retain separate recording IDs under different complete joint credits. The reviewed source establishes the 1968 joint performance, but does not independently resolve those internal recording identities. Both candidates remain visible without merging the retained records.

ARTIST BACKGROUND

About The Temptations

The Temptations developed in Detroit and signed to Motown in 1961. Their recordings paired carefully arranged vocal harmonies with coordinated stage movement, making the group sound and visual presentation closely connected. The Way You Do the Things You Do and My Girl helped establish their 1960s repertoire. Later recordings explored funk and psychedelic soul as the membership changed. Those phases remain part of the group's history, distinct from the solo work of singers who passed through it.
