Phoenix Rising (The Temptations album)

Phoenix Rising is a 1998 album by the Temptations for the Motown label, featuring the debut of new Temptations Barrington "Bo" Henderson, Terry Weeks, and Harry McGilberry, following the departure of Ali-Ollie Woodson, who ended his contract with the group; as well as the final Temptations album for Theo Peoples, who Henderson replaced. The album, the Temptations' first million-selling album in over twenty years, features the hit single "Stay", which samples the group's 1965 hit "My Girl". Although not commercially released as a single, "Stay" was a Top 30 R&B Hit, peaking at #28. The Temptations' Phoenix Rising was certified Platinum by the RIAA on November 15, 1999, later reaching Double Platinum status. "Stay" also peaked at #1 on the Urban Adult Contemporary charts. Later singles "This Is My Promise" and "How Could He Hurt You" reached #3 and #5 respectively on the Urban AC charts as well.
