Just Say Maybe: The Temptations

'Cloud Nine'
--The Temptations (1968)

The accusation: The narrator escapes his troubles by "riding high on Cloud Nine."

The defense: The Tempts countered that songwriters Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong were clean-living fellows.

The verdict: Guilty. Living in a "one-room shack" with a father that "treated us like dirt," you don't get to Cloud Nine without help.
