Slick is the ninth album by former Temptations vocalist Eddie Kendricks, released in August 1977 on the Tamla imprint of Motown Records. It reached No. 47 on the Billboard Soul Albums chart. Kendricks made it known to management that he was not going to remain with Motown. For this, his last studio lp for the company he was teamed again with Leonard Caston. Caston, along with Frank Wilson, played a major role in Kendricks solo success. Credited on backing vocals as Jean Thompson is actually Jean Terrell, former lead singer of the Supremes. Terrell is quite audible on Something Shady (Is Going On). Knowing that Kendricks was leaving the label, Motown gave practically no promotion to this album which only made a dent on Soul album charts
