 In 1972, the group had success with their cover of musician Kris Kristofferson's ballad, "Help Me Make It Through the Night".The song helped to make the group's transition from soul and blues-oriented material to more middle of the road fare.In late 1972, the group began recording songs for what would be their final Motown album, "Neither One of Us", at Motown's Hitsville U.S.A. studios in Detroit.
