The Temptations


"The Temptations Wish It Would Rain" is the seventh studio album by the American soul vocal group The Temptations, released in 1968. The album's title track, "I Wish It Would Rain," became one of the group's signature songs, reaching the top of the Billboard R&B singles chart and peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. The album features a mix of soulful ballads and uptempo tracks, showcasing the group's versatile vocal harmonies and polished performances. In addition to the title track, standout songs on the album include "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)" and "Please Return Your Love to Me." "I Wish It Would Rain" marked a transitional period for The Temptations, as it was one of the last albums to feature original member David Ruffin before his departure from the group. Despite the changes, the album was a commercial success and is regarded as one of the highlights of The Temptations' extensive discography.
