Surface Thrills [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

The Temptations album Surface Thrills, released in 1983, represents a sharp departure in the group's sound by incorporating elements of then current rock. Following it's release, Glenn Leonard was let go and replaced by Ron Tyson who was with the Philadelphia groups the Etics and Love Committee. Tyson had been a staff songwriter at Atlantic. Although the Temptations' releases were no longer performing quite as well as they had on the pop charts, though some singles did very well in the R&B charts, such as "Love on My Mind Tonight" from Surface Thrills, it charted at number 17.
