Round and round we go. Where the world's headed to, nobody knows.
Gordy, 1970.
This is my favorite period of the Temptations, the psychedelic soul era. David Ruffin is gone and the five guys trade off on lead vocals. The songs are harder and the subject matter is more political, in the '60s sense of the word. This single is so tough, starting with the bassline!
Sometimes I can't get over how good this song is. That bass line!

As relevant today as it was when it was written. A true timeless classic. Funky soul hooks with a political bent.
"And the band played oonnnnn..."
