About The Record:

Join The Temptations is a collaborative album combining Motown's two best selling groups, Diana Ross & the Supremes and the Temptations. Issued by Motown in late 1968 to coincide with the broadcast of the Supremes/Temptations TCB television special, the album was a success, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200. It spent four weeks at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart. Originally the lead single was to have been The Impossible Dream as featured in the climax to the TV spectacular TCB. However, it was decided to release I'm Gonna Make You Love Me as a single instead even though it was not featured on TCB. This became a No. 2 hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the R&B charts, and the follow-up, I'll Try Something New, was a Top 30 hit. A third single, I Second That Emotion, was released exclusively in the United Kingdom, where it became a Top 20 hit. However, a true reflection of I'm Gonna Make You Love Me's popularity was that it was certified platinum and was the No. 1 single on both Cash Box and Record World (three weeks).
