Greatest Hits II (shown as Temptations Greatest Hits Vol. 2 on the label) is a 1970 greatest hits album for The Temptations, released by the Gordy ( Motown) label. The sequel to the first Temptations greatest hits LP from 1966, Greatest Hits II collects several of the late-1960s hits that followed the release of the first compilation. Included here are the final collection of David Ruffin-led singles, including " (I Know) I'm Losing You", " I Wish It Would Rain" and " I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)", and the first of the Dennis Edwards-led psychedelic soul records, including " Cloud Nine" and " Psychedelic Shack". A new non-album single, the #3 hit " Ball of Confusion (That's What the World Is Today)", is also included.
All of the songs included here were produced by Norman Whitfield. Not included are "All I Need", a 1967 hit single produced by Frank Wilson, or the collection of duets singles with Diana Ross & the Supremes such as " I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" that were produced by Wilson and Nickolas Ashford.
