Produced by Josephine "Jo" Bridges and signed to her We Produce imprint, The Temprees were a Memphis soul vocal trio powered by one of the great falsettos in pop music, that of Jasper "Jabbo" Phillips. Their 1972 debut, Lovemen, is aptly named; this is one of the greatest make-out R&B albums ever made, with one smoldering slow jam after another. Their take on "Dedicated to the One I Love" is rightly considered the greatest version ever made, but "If I Could Say What's on My Mind," "Love…Can Be So Wonderful," and "I Love You, You Love Me," will get you and your partner's hips swaying (and patch up any lovers' quarrels tout suite, too). Stax didn't really know what to do with soul this sweet (We Produce was a Stax imprint), so Lovemen languished commercially, but nowadays it's recognized as a model of its kind. For its first-ever LP reissue, Real Gone Music has cut Lovemen All-Analog straight from the original two-track album master and pressed it on colored vinyl.
