People…Hold On is the second album by former Temptations vocalist Eddie Kendricks. Released in May 1972 on the Tamla imprint of Motown Records, it was arranged by David Leacraft, David Van De Pitte and Leroy Fleming. The cover photography was by Weldon Arthur McDougal III.
It would prove to be his breakout album. “Girl You Need A Change of Mind” was one of the first disco/dance records. Album sales began to build rapidly especially in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Because of its length (7:33 min.), Motown released an edited version for radio. The album had been out for over six months before the radio caught on. But it eventually rose to number 13 R&B in the early months of 1973. Its success in the clubs would lay the groundwork for his upcoming number 1 Pop & R&B smash, “Keep On Truckin’“.
