 During the previous year, fellow group member Eddie Kendricks was given the lead on the singles' A-sides with very little success.By early 1963, the Tempts was a regional R&B favorite with their most successful single being "Dream Come True", a Top 30 R&B hit, but they couldn’t make the ""Billboard" Hot 100" charts.Because of this, the group was given the nickname "The Hitless Temptations", while Motown continued to try to give them a top 20 hit on both the Pop and R&B charts.
