Today’s topic: The Temprees.
Y’all remember the Temptees. (Singing)

The Temprees are a soul vocal trio from Memphis, Tennessee. They were most popular during the 70s. The band released several albums on We Produce Records, an offshoot of Stax Records. The group was first signed to Stax Records in 1970. Later they moved briefly in 1976 to Epic Records for two singles.

I love the groups song “ Explain it to Her Mama”. It’s from the album, The Best of the Temprees. I don’t know how they came up with the song, but it was a very good song to come up with. The lyrics tell the truth. I don’t know if the song was a hit, but it sure does sound like it was a hit. It’s telling a mama to teach her daughter. The song is a mama message song. I don’t hear it much on the radio on the oldies station. But it’s a good song to play.
