Reviews & Discussion
referencing People... Hold On, LP, Album, S-32.517
Is this one of the best soul albums ever? In a similar way to how Weldon Irvine is criminally overlooked in comparison to Stevie Wonder, Eddie Kendricks is criminally overlooked in comparison to Marvin Gaye. One could choose perhaps the most obvious cut from this LP, which in Kendrick's catalogue stands equivalent to Gaye's What's Going On: the stormer track "Girl You Need a Change of Mind", or the irresistibly romantic "Day by Day" (which I'm actually quite sure Eric Clapton has been bitin'!). But discover also "Date With the Rain", and the title tune "My People...Hold On", which is a key milestone in Black music's celebration of consciousness, heritage and pride.
