Temple of the Dog begins with a cassette containing two songs spawned by the loss of Chris Cornell’s friend and roommate Andrew Wood (singer of Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone). Wood had huge talent, but human beings are complicated, and he struggled with cocaine and heroin, sending him to rehab in 1989. In March 1990, Wood relapsed and died at 24. It was, Cornell would say, the death of the innocence of the scene. Cornell was devastated. Three of those songs in collaboration with Cornell would find their way to the Temple of the Dog album. That was the way Seattle operated in that day, with creative sparks flying cross-town with little regard to who was committed to what band. Cornell continued on to write several more songs that would round out the material for the rest of the album. The project became a true collaboration.

Featuring members of Soundgarden and what would soon become Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog's lone eponymous album might never have reached a wide audience if not for Pearl Jam's breakout success a year later. In turn, by providing the first glimpse of Chris Cornell's more straightforward, classic rock-influenced side, Temple of the Dog helped set the stage for Soundgarden's mainstream breakthrough with Superunknown

Temple of the Dog began when Chris Cornell of Soundgarden wrote two songs in honor of his good friend Andrew Wood, who died of a heroin overdose in March 1990. This was the first single from the album and by far the most famous song by Temple of the Dog. The follow-up single, "Say Hello 2 Heaven," is a song Chris Cornell wrote for Andrew Wood. Temple of the Dog got back together for a tour in 2016.

The success of the song also aided album sales as the once stagnating disc topped out at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 charts and went on to be a platinum seller. The follow-up single, "Say Hello 2 Heaven," also reached the top 5 at rock radio, but a third single, "Pushin Forward Back," failed to follow the success of the first two tracks. The album also featured the aforementioned "Reach Down," one of the two tracks Cornell penned to start the project. Anytime there's a cross pollination of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden members, it typically yields great anticipation for a Temple of the Dog reprise. This would be the first extended touring ever in support of the album as the all-star collective were unable to tour upon the disc's initial release.
