Coming Home

Larry Hancock and Leo Green represent Truth on the album cover but the Truth on this album also includes Will Thomas, Phil Coghill, William Grover, and Margaret Foxworth. Originally a quintet, they cut "Excedrin Headache #24" b/w "Come Back Home" (not included here) which got played in their hometown of Cleveland and not much anywhere else. Green sings in a husky baritone, and Hancock has a cutting tenor. "Comin' Home," co-written by Dennis Edwards, is the most exciting track. Edwards, on a hiatus from the Tempts, took the song with him when he rejoined the legendary band (who recorded it on their Power album, with the Temptations' name credited as the songwriters). The rest of the songs are decent; "It's Gonna Take a Miracle," "International Dancing," and "Understanding" are the most memorable. ~ Andrew Hamilton
