"From the 1966 album, 'The Motown Sound A Collection of 16 Original Big Hits'" "It's Growing The Temptations"
"HEY, HEY, HEY (CLINK!!!!)
The song's music track, much like the title of the song, seems to grow and grow as it goes along. A rinky-tink piano to open, cartwheeling drums, crashing cymbals, dreamscape vibraphones, even sound effects (!), the sudden appearance midway though of The Andantes in the background, sweeping stings - Smokey put everything under the sun into this- yet it never sounds cluttered or overdone and the Funk Brothers' music work never overwhelm or replace the Temptations, who remain the focal point. It's a bit like the musical version of an expanding universe: ever-growing but in a perfectly balanced way.
Fantastic!
