“Don’t Let The Joneses Get You Down” #20 6/28/1969

No doubt the Temptations were moving farther away from the ballads that were the mainstay of their early career. The album “Puzzle People” was loaded with plenty of psychedelic soul tracks, of which this is an example. Once again all five Temps took a turn on lead vocals with a song bemoaning the pressures of keeping up with the neighbors and their social status. A long way from “My Girl” for sure.
