One is 'Hello Young Lovers'. The other, while not on the "Mellow Moods" LP is a standard called 'Swanee'. The harmony on this song is impeccable and Eddie K never sounded so good. Another I just thought of is Paul's lead on 'The Best Things In Life Are Free'. Again, this is not on "Mellow Mood" but it is interesting to hear the interpretion of these pop standards.  I know you are not talking about the post-Tempts after David, but the other song from "Mellow Mood" was Paul's heartrendering live performance of 'Once In My Life'. |

Sounds like they could have made a mellow mood album part 2 with the great cuts they left off the album. did they ever go on a tv show and perform the songs to promote that album? |

It's not so much as making another "Mellow Mood" album as much as BG simply wanted his artists to sing pop standards to appeal to wider audience. The Tempts were strictly an R&B act so 'Mellow Mood' was important to break into supper club market. I don't think they 'promoted' that particular LP directly but as I stated in the above post, they sang songs that were along the line of 'Mellow Mood'. And I just thought of another they sang when they were with David. Paul's lead on 'The Best Things In Life Are Free'. It's pretty good too.  |

At the time I wasn't tryna hear no Mellow Mood...I thought The Tempts had lost their minds with that one...sangin some songs my parents listened to...  give me a break! But now it has become one of my favorite albums. It's a wonderful thing to mature! |

Bees, when the LP came out, did it sell very well? Considering the fact that the Tempts had a huge R&B following, I, too, kind of wondered what the response was back then. Were the opinions along the lines of your comments amongst Tempt fans? |

See,even then they dared to do something that most artists won't dare try to do. they switched their original style of singing to showcase the fact that they can do it all and sing just about anything. I think making the Mellow Mood album turned out to be a good thing.

Are the Temps doing "Hello Young Lovers" on TCB? I know they are doing "A taste of Honey" on utube, those would be the only live footage that I know of the Temps performing anything off of A Mellow Mood. Correct me if I am wrong. If anyone knows of any other Live footage please inform me, I sure would like to view it.  |

Welcome to the board, maria! Go to the 'Ruff Kutz' section and there is a clip of 'Hello Young Lovers' feat. the C5 on Ed Sullivan. It is not in the best condition but you can make out the faces. Enjoy!  |
