Still Here is a 2010 studio album by American soul group The Temptations. It is the 49th studio album from The Temptations and features a mix of their classic soul music vocals with some hip hop production and rapping. [1]
Odeen Mays did the actual bass vocals in Joe Herndon’s place.
Editors of AllMusic Guide scored this album three out of five stars, with reviewer Andy Kellman critiquing that "the group’s handful of attempts to relate to younger listeners fall flat" and the use of Auto-Tune, but tempering his criticism with praise of the vocals and noting that the "album is heavy on laid-back love songs that are easy to enjoy, if occasionally on the tepid side".

The Temptations are an American vocal group from Detroit, Michigan, who released a series of successful singles and albums with Motown Records during the 1960s to mid 1970s. The group's work with producer Norman Whitfield, beginning with the Top 10 hit single "Cloud Nine" in October 1968, pioneered psychedelic soul, and was significant in the evolution of R&B and soul music. The band members are known for their choreography, distinct harmonies, and dress style. Having sold tens of millions of albums, the Temptations are among the most successful groups in popular music.
Psychedelic Shack is the twelfth studio album by The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label released in 1970. Completely written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong and produced by Whitfield, Psychedelic Shack almost completely abandoned the "Motown Sound" formula, instead delving fully into psychedelia. Along with the hit title track, the album also features the group's original version of "War", which became a major hit for Edwin Starr later in 1970.
