Solid Rock Songwriting Credits by The Temptations

Solid Rock is the fourteenth studio album by The Temptations, released on Gordy on January 11, 1972 and produced entirely by Norman Whitfield. It arrives during the group's psychedelic soul peak, with Whitfield and lyricist Barrett Strong writing every original song and the Funk Brothers supplying the dense, socially charged backing tracks. The record captures a lineup in transition: first tenor Damon Harris and third tenor Richard Street had joined, while Paul Williams appears only on the earlier recording 'It's Summer.' Highlights include the singles 'Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)' and 'Take a Look Around,' plus the extended anti-war protest 'Stop the War Now' and a long reading of Bill Withers' 'Ain't No Sunshine.' It reached number one on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and number 24 on the Billboard 200.
