He's a Friend is the seventh album by former Temptations vocalist Eddie Kendricks.

This album was totally embraced by the black and gay underground clubs as a complete entity.

The lead and album title single, "He's a Friend", merged the classic Motown sound with T.S.O.P., the Sound of Philadelphia, courtesy of Norman Harris and several Philly sessions players.

"He's a Friend" fell one step away from securing another #1 R&B single for Eddie, stopping at #2 behind "Disco Lady" by Johnnie Taylor.

Two more singles, like the smash "Girl You Need A Change Of Mind" also made the Top 20.
