Eddie Kendricks first foray into Disco was in 1972 with "Girl You Need A Change Of Mind"-a song which many consider one of the earliest Disco songs. Eddie brought social issues to the forefront through his music.
In 1976 he teamed up with Philadelphia producer Norman Harris (Trammps, Salsoul Orchestra...) on the "Goin' Up In Smoke" album on Motown's Tamla sub-label.
The credits on this album read like a "who's who" of Philly Disco greats. If it wasn't for Eddie's name one would say it was another MFSB, Salsoul Orchestra or Trammps release. With names like Bobby Eli, Vince Montana, Larry Washington, The Sweetherts of Sigma... it's easy to think that.
As with other Kendrick's releases, "Goin' Up In Smoke" is required listening.
