Whitfield put Eddie Kendricks back in the lead vocalist slot and recaptured the old sound flawlessly.As a results, for the first time in nearly two years the Temptations went all the way to #1

The music itself was changing with soul music receding in popularity. Stax still fielded occasional crossover hits with the Staples and Johnnie Taylor, but only Al Green charted consistently with the once-mighty Memphis sound. He reached the top 10 twice in 1973, with Call Me (Come Back Home) and Here I Am (Come and Take Me)

Maureen McGovern recorded We May Never Love like this Again and won another Oscar-winning theme from another disaster film, The Towering Inferno, but lighting didn't strike twice. Nor did she score with Can You Read My Mind from the blockbuster Superman in 1979, but later that year she regained the top 20 with Different Worlds, from the TV sitcom Angle.
