Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin was the original members of the group for many years. Then, it was Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams and finally, David Ruffin.
The original Temptations were: Otis Williams, Elbridge Bryant, Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendricks, and Paul Williams. They started in 1960 as The Elgins. Since Paul’s death in 1973, Elbridge’s death in 1975, Eddie’s death in 1992, and Melvin’s death in 1995, Otis Williams is the last original surviving founding member of the group.

He also his son with his friend Paul the Righteous Brothers song WoW so maybe he can retire and sing a song with you Otis when you come back through Pittsburgh. Love you all sister Nora Rose Parker
Good question. What's interesting is that a year later Dennis Edwards would come back to the group for a short sprint. To my understanding he was only there temporarily until Ali was ready to come back.
Melvin voice is cool as hell..
Melvin would never allow anyone else to talk.
Rest In Peace ✌️ Melvin Franklin and Richard Street and the rest of the Temptations who are deceased. Temptations Forever!!!!!!
Otis Williams still here
Otis is the only surviving temp.

Where is Ali Ollie Woodson? He was part of the group then.
Good question. What's interesting is that a year later Dennis Edwards would come back to the group for a short sprint. To my understanding he was only there temporarily until Ali was ready to come back.
I loved David Ruffin, but he made it impossible for the rest of the guys.

Al bryant
Elbridge Bryant...
Ain’t nobody coming to see you Otis
🤣🤣 David Ruffin got so full of himself! Because of that, the Group "offed" him! 😆🤣😆
Very few statements could be farther from the truth. And, they are still coming to see Otis.
@@SuperCoolmack it’s a line from the movie🙄
@@DVPerry220 were you there
Well they are STILL coming to see Otis so there’s that
