    Melvin was such a sweet person. You can tell. And his voice was one of a kind.

      I hear you and I was feeling the same way when I attended The Reunion and I got to shake hands with all seven of them, and while Eddie was doing his solo act I was at the door of the dressing room area talking to Otis.... He was a kind gentleman and deserves all of the accolades that he gets....😊😊😊😊💯💯💯💯

      They actually said Eddie didn’t like Melvin cause he felt like the group didn’t need a bass singer.

    This tour/reunion could’ve been so much bigger than it was. It started in 1982 and ended in 1982.

    • @ghanasoul
      @ghanasoul 2 місяці тому

      I think if David Ruffin was on point by showing up for all the shows, it would’ve been much more successful. Eddie, David and the Temps line at that time, needed this reunion show. Eddie and David’s solo careers fizzled out by this time, the Temps didn’t have a hit so this reunion show was a major boost for all their careers.

  • @ghanasoul
    @ghanasoul 4 місяці тому +1

    Everyone involved needed this tour. Eddie, David, and the Temps needed this! It was a big deal. They should’ve done an HBO special or TV special with the reunion. Eddie wanted to stay in the group but Otis went back to the 5 man line-up when the tour dates were done.

      They are sitting on the floor of the Fisher Theatre. It aired on channel 7 abc news in Detroit in 1982, am not sure if the interviewers name. Perhaps will do some research and see if I can find out.

    The interviewer is mediocre, but Eddie is so handsome. And even his speaking voice draws you in.
