The fourteenth studio album by The Temptations for the Gordy/Motown label, Sky's the Limit was released in 1971. It includes the #1 hit “Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me),” the Top 40 hit “Ungena Za Ulimwengu (Unite the World),” and the original version of “Smiling Faces Sometimes,” later a Top 5 hit for The Undisputed Truth. In addition, the LP features the final Temptations recordings for founding member Eddie Kendricks, who during the recording of the album departed the group for a solo career. His best friend Paul Williams would soon follow him out due mainly to health issues. According to AllMusic reviewer Ron Wynn, “Eddie Kendricks said so long to The Temptations on this early-'70s album, with the glorious ‘Just My Imagination’ being his swan song. Although they were successful with Damon Harris replacing Kendricks, things would never be the same.”
