''The Temptations Sing Smokey'' is the second studio album by The Temptations for the (Motown) label, released on the Gordy Records subsidiary (G 912) in 1965.〔http://www.bsnpubs.com/motown/gordy.html〕 As its name implies, it is composed entirely of songs written and produced by Smokey Robinson, and several other members of the Miracles as well. Several of the songs are covers of songs Robinson produced for the Miracles or Mary Wells, while the rest were originally recorded by The Temptations. Among these are three successful hit singles, starting with "The Way You Do the Things You Do", which featured Eddie Kendricks on lead vocals. The next two songs feature lead vocals by new Temptation David Ruffin: "It's Growing" and the group's signature song, "My Girl". Not included are two singles which predate these two singles, "I'll Be in Trouble" and "Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)" (whose b-side, "Baby, Baby I Need You", ''is'' here). These songs would be included on the next Temptations album, ''The Temptin' Temptations''. A third hit single, "The Way You Do the Things You Do", is present here, although it was also issued on the previous Temptations album, ''Meet the Temptations''. ==Track listing== ''Superscripts denote lead singers for each track: (a) David Ruffin, (b) Eddie Kendricks, (c) Paul Williams, (d) Melvin Franklin, (e) Otis Williams, (f) Temptations ensemble''.
