Happy Birthday to one of the greatest singers in the world, Melvin Franklin.
"Power" performed live! 1982, painters mill, maryland
Written by Angelo Bond, Berry Gordy, and Jean Mayer, and was recorded with the Temptations upon their return to Motown.
Power is one of my top favorite Temptations songs. I think it's really interesting how they came to sing the song, and the lyrics still are prevalent today. I think this rendition is different than really any other I've heard of "Power", I personally really like it.
Can't forget about Melvin's opening poem. I'm so glad that audio exists.
