(1962)"Isn't She Pretty" is a 1961 song recorded by The Temptations, and written by group members Eddie Kendricks and Otis Williams, as well as Motown’s founder Berry Gordy. It was Gordy’s first production with the group, and intended for released on the Miracle label, but it was shelved due to the label closing, as well as the fact that the Motown execs thought the song sounded a little too dated.All Music Guide.] It was finally released as the b-side for the group’s 1962 single "Dream Come True", their first on the Gordy label imprint.
