However, ballads in the traditional style of the group were still being recorded as B-sides and album fillers, with the lone exception being "Just My Imagination".
Hydra aims for stadium rock but lacks the cinematic confidence the band would go on to achieve with 2019’s Resist . The initial focus wasn’t on creating a new album – it was more about responding to need; being present in the moment. The Reckoning" did not enter the Finnish Single Charts, but peaked at number 85 on the Finnish Airplay Charts.However, Mooch Harrell and Richard Street shortly departed from the group and the remaining members lost use of the Distants name. Otis Williams and Franklin strongly opposed this idea, and regular group infighting between Kendricks, Otis Williams, and Franklin grew from this disagreement. With the pandemic eliminating any possibility of touring in 2020 (the band’s Worlds Collide co-headline trek with Evanescence was postponed no fewer than four times), it proved a wise move, enabling Within Temptation – one of the biggest bands in continental Europe – to release a succession of timely standalone singles and videos.
Vocalist Sharon den Adel comments, “Wireless” is a song about a soldier who goes to war convinced that he is going for a good cause. Funk Brothers(Motown) recorded "My Girl", "Runnaway Child Running Wild", and "Papa Was a Rolling Stone". Packing a dizzying mixture of gorgeous melodies, symphonic pomp, glitchy electronica and heavy metal thunder, stadium-ready anthems like We Go To War, Wireless, Ritual and The Purge gave the record an alarmingly prolific hit-rate, the band's songwriting chops honed to perfection after more than a quarter-century in the game.The band decided to change direction given the inconsistencies and other issues which movies can undergo. Six of the Temptations (Edwards, Franklin, Kendricks, Ruffin, Otis Williams and Paul Williams) were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. The final Norman Whitfield-produced Temptations album, 1990, was released in December 1973, and included the Top 30 single " Let Your Hair Down".
In May 1971, the Temptations finally found a permanent replacement for the first tenor position in twenty-year-old Baltimore native Damon Harris. Stripped to its rhythm track, the Temptation's version of "Grapevine" retains the tempo of Knight's hit version, but uses a less gospel based and more pop/ blues based vocal arrangement. Included on the Sky's the Limit LP along with the original album version of " Smiling Faces Sometimes", "Just My Imagination" was released as a single in January 1971, and the song began steadily climbing the US pop singles chart, peaking at number 1 two months later. The ballad "Gonna Keep on Tryin' Till I Win Your Love", led by Edwards, would later be re-recorded by the group in 1971 for the Sky's the Limit LP, with Kendricks on lead. In late 1969, Richard Street, lead singer of Motown act the Monitors and a former Distant, was hired by Otis Williams to tour with the group as a backup replacement for Williams.The song seems to suggest that the best way for someone to deal with the problems that come with being poor and black in America was to "ride high on 'cloud nine'".
After his doctor declared a few weeks later that he was unable to continue performing due to medical reasons, Paul Williams quit the Temptations in May. The group subsequently finished production on For Lovers Only, an album of pop standards featuring two tracks recorded with Melvin Franklin prior to his death.
Having sold tens of millions of albums, the Temptations are among the most successful groups in popular music. The group's lineup has changed frequently since the departures of Kendricks and Paul Williams from the act in 1971. In December 2021, Otis Williams introduced Tony Grant as the newest member of The Temptations at a concert in Orlando, Florida.
