Review by Greg Gamble

Bare Back is a soulful album by the legendary Temptations that showcases their ability to produce timeless music. The album is a perfect blend of classic R&B and contemporary soul, with the group's signature harmonies and smooth vocals shining through in every track.

The album's opening track, "Still Here," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus. The group's rendition of "Get Ready" is a standout track that features a fresh take on the classic hit.

The ballads on the album, such as "Waitin' on You" and "Love Can Be Anything," showcase the group's ability to deliver emotional performances that tug at the heartstrings. The album's title track, "Bare Back," is a sensual and romantic tune that is sure to be a fan favorite.

Very Beautiful song, and arrangement. I love the arrangement. I am a lifelong Temptations authority, and aficionado. Therefore, I will not get into the debate about Otis' voice as a lead singer. The Temps were recognized as having five singers, any one capable of singing lead, with the primary three strongest leads being Ruffin, Kendricks, and (Paul) Williams. However, because of the influence of the Temptations movie, which took creative license in its depictions, so many people look for negative things to point among the group. So, now people want to quote the line "Ain't nobody comin' to see you Otis" as some sort of barometer to measure group talent. That line from the movie was more than likely made up, and written for the movie. Otis had a smooth voice, and could sing. You don't survive as a Temptation if you can't hold your own vocally. While he may not have had the vocal chops of the three maim leads, he was key to their harmony. If you are familiar with his voice, you will hear him holding down the background harmony alternating depending on the song, between first tenor, second tenor, and baritone. In closing, I say, to latter day Temps fans, don't be spoiled. Most vocal groups tend to have one, sometimes two lead singers. The Temps had three powerhouse leads, though all have taken turns. What do people expect from Otis? It should be obvious that the mold and formula,, for which the group is now known, evolved as a result of the fateful meeting of the "Classic Five". Though not the original intention, like some groups today, it became apparent that each Temps member could sing lead. Another coincidence, and later requirement, of their trademark "The Tall, Tan, Talented Temptations" was that you had to be at least six feet tall to be a member. Al Bryant, and later the "Classic Five" all just coincidentally happened to be over six feet in height, and good looking. Like one music exec stated, it " was like they were all from Central Casting". This evolution became the standard until, current group member Terry Weeks, who is 5'10

Otis can sing but you can see why they didn’t release songs he led on. Simply nothing distinctive about his voice.
