Emperors of Soul is a five-disc box set by R&B group The Temptations. It was released on September 20, 1994 by Motown Records. This compilation chronicles the group’s entire four-year history, starting from the group’s beginning as The Distants all the way to the then-current lineup at the time. The first two discs and the first half of the third disc contains tracks that are mono, as well as several B-sides, album tracks and songs that were unreleased. The rest of the collection continues on into the ‘70s, '80s and the '90s.
