The Temptations "Wish It Would Rain" 56th Anniversary (1968) | Celebrating a Motown Classic

On this day in music history, marks the 56th Anniversary of the Temptations classic and the last album to feature the "Classic Five" lineup, "Wish It Would Rain!" It was released on this day back in 1968.
This album would sadly end up being the last Temptations album to feature the famous "Classic Five" lineup of the group because a couple months later, David Ruffin would be fired from the group after showing up late to another show. Throughout the recording of the album, David even missed a couple of recording sessions in between, which also caused a lot more tension between him and the guys. By this point, his drug habit and big ego had got to his head. Despite the conflicts, this album is absolutely a classic! This album came out a couple of weeks after Dr. King was gunned down in Memphis. This was during a crucial time but the Tempts always manage to bring the world together with their music. This album has many classics, such as, "I Truly, Truly Believe," "Please Return Your Love To Me," "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)," "I'm Gonna Give Her All The Love I've Got," and the ultimate classic and title of the album, "I Wish It Would Rain."
This album is easily top 10 in my favorite Temptations album's. All the songs were great and enjoyable! Tell me what's your favorite song from this classic album in the comments down below?!
