Released in March 1976 on the Gordy (Motown) label, Wings of Love is a fascinating, funk-infused chapter in The Temptations' extensive discography. Co-produced by Jeffrey Bowen and Berry Gordy, the album leans heavily into a soulful, disco-funk sound. Behind the scenes, the recording was marked by creative tension: producer Jeffrey Bowen strongly favored lead singer Dennis Edwards, resulting in Edwards singing lead on all but one track ("China Doll," which features Richard Street). This stylistic choice temporarily pushed the group's signature harmonic blend into the background, making it feel almost like an Edwards solo project. Despite mixed commercial success, it remains an underrated cult classic for fans of 70s psychedelic soul, featuring notable uncredited contributions from Sly Stone.
