Eddie Kendricks

Originally with the Temptations, Eddie went solo in 1973. Biggest selling single was the early disco classic "Keep on truckin'" - an excellent near-instrumental with a great flow and perfect wah-wah... Follow up single "Boogie down" was almost as succesful, but is no where near as good.

Eddie also recorded a great disco cover version of Bugatti and Musker's "Ain't no smoke without fire". By this time he had left the Motown label for good.
