Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection:
The Temptations – Cloud Nine – Rating: 4.75 / 5
Absolute classic album from a goated group that is filled with tracks that are either funk or Motown. I was either jamming or grooving depending on which style was playing at the time. It’s also wild that their cover of “Heard It Through The Grapevine” is the weakest track on the album. Bravo to this making the list!

Other albums:
Oriental Brothers International Band – Onye Rie Ibe Ya Erie – Rating: 5 / 5
African and Latin fusion for an absolute banger. Crazy to think its 50 years after the debuted, and about 20 Plus years since they last made music. Yet here we are in 2024 jamming out to a fantastic album with rhythms to make you groove and dance along to. I’m glad I didn’t pass on this one when it popped up on Bandcamp, because this is going to be a repeat listen for sure!
