#TheTemptations #EddieKendricks #Unsung #TVONE #Motown
Mr. Kendricks voice was absolutely beautiful! No other singer has a falsetto like his!! RIP!
No other)))))!!
So did El debarge
Ted Mills, lead singer of Blue Magic, could blow all of them of the stage. Including Smokey Robinson. None of them could touch his falsetto level.
I can think of a few, William Hart of the Delfonics, Ron Tyson, There are many great tenor's out there.
@@brodocbetty4856 Yes all of them are great,but Eddie would make you cry (Silent Night) .The GREATEST.....lol
The Temptations are definitely the greatest male vocal group of all time.
The Copacabana was in NYC.
Of Alllllllllllllllllllll Time Baby!!
@@HardCold-Alquan Not too much on Nay. I won’t allow the slander on her good name!
@@HardCold-Alquan And who are you? Lex Luthor? 😂
Otis was the leader. Melvin, deep voice dude , was his second in command. Otis is the last living original Temptation.
Facts
Yes Otis was always the stable one, and Melvin. I concur 😁
Otis wasn’t shit
Eddie had the chance to make more money as a solo artist
@@UriyahMommy No he was a good person
Eddie Was My Favorite Temptation, he was just so Handsome and sang so sweet ❤️
I agree with you,Nay. NOBODY compares to the Temptations . Their Vocal ability combined with Stage Presence & CHARM... Unmatched to this day. The Temps are the GOATS❤️
Key point in this comment-“unmatched to this day”.
Eddie was definitely my favorite Temp. That voice was magical!
Yessss and his solo hits shoe shine boy and keep in trucking st8 🔥
@@ladygemini5967 My mom loved Shoe Shine Boy....
That beautiful face.

I just want to hug him and kiss all on him! Eddie was absolutely adorable! Tall, handsome and sexy!💋💋💋
“Eddie Kendricks” is My Favorite Temptation, May He Forever Rest In Heaven 🌹
I remember as a child I was so in love with Eddie Kendricks. It was a Temptations album cover that I used to just stare at looking at him.
YES HE WAS A BEAUTIFUL MAN.
Oh! Was he fine 😂
Here The Thing Nay Paul Williams Was Suffering From Sickle Cell He Would Drink To Numb The Pain. Thats Y i Hate That Movie. They Never Explained it.
Yeah Paul was in great pain and it wasn't the drinking as they showed in the movie that had him not able to perform it was indeed the sickle cell.
Thank yall cause i didnt know that
👀
The Temptations movie used a lot of creative license. Richard Street was eventually used to assist Paul, Williams from an offstage microphone, to augment Paul's weakened vocals, when Paul would get winded during performances, due to the sickle cell anemia. The group began traveling with oxygen tanks for him. During Paul's special solo numbers, he did not need help from Richard, only during backing vocals. Richard was not enlisted because Paul was too drunk to perform. The movie exaggerated that scenario. While Paul did self medicate with aocohol, the issues with performance had a lot to do with the physical pain he experienced, and breathing issues, while performing. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
Yes I truly dislike that movie!! I understand you have to say and do things in a supposedly true to life movie to make it interesting but to portray people that we all know and love even when we alreadyknow some of the story to crush those guys that way and hurt their families is deplorable!! Otis ex-wife,the Distants ex- manager, Melvin's mother, David's stepmom and his family tried to sue Otis, Susanne De' passe company and I think Motown, not sure about MT for the way they portrayed them and their families in that movie. And to not One time mentioned that Paul William was suffering from sickle cell and depression, fear of being replaced or dying. Plus he had a side chick that ruin him financially, then portray him as a hopeless drunk was awful. Watch some of those after David was gone yt videos for yourself and see if you see any time that Paul was stumbling all over himself and not performing properly. At live shows people would havel been able to notice if he was not singing at his Mic because he was drunk, get real!! Richard Street said himself that, Otis didn't care about people. Once he was in the hospital, and when Otis got in touch with him, he started cussing him out about where is he and Richard told he had been in the hospital, all he said was"oh":not what happened or how are you doing" how foul is that and trying to pretend to act like he's better than the other guys. All that crap about David saying "ain't nobody come to see you Otis'" is a lie. Leon said he adlib that line himself , he thought it needed to be said in the movie, because of the Otis character lines in the movie. And Eddie was in concert and from the stage he spoke to his daughter telling her to tell her mom that he signed the birth certificate. We will never know why he didn't want too, maybe he thought it wasn't his. We don't know because it happens every day. And all that about who was sleeping with who, so what they were not the only ones. Don't just say it was Motown it was a lot of other record companies doing the same thing. And Her videos and many others are reporting the same old same old. Her story is so inaccurate and off The Primes manager name was Milton and it was Otis that called Eddie to come join his group. And Shelley called the shots on the Temps not Otis, Otis went to Shelley, Shelley went to Berry. Berry really wasn't concerned about them at that point, only The Supremes!! None of them!! Marvin Gaye was messing around with two of those Marvelettes at the same time, now tell me why songs coming to them Dried up. But that was those people business!! Leave those people alone, let them and their families Rest. Peace to you all!! And Be Safe!!
Eddie, David, Dennis and Ali were the voices of the Temptations. They simply put multiple people around these mainstays
And Melvin...Melvin's deep bass was important to the Temptations just as much as David and Eddie and the rest of them. Melvin was a TRUE basso profundo. He was a true bass and you can't have a Temptation record or song without the Bass.
Nay I went to high school with Eddie’s nephews they could sang!!! It ran in the family!!

@renaissanceman
Hi! Good to see you. How have you been? Remember me? I'm Eddie's biggest fan. Ciao! 🙋🏽♀️
I do not believe that Paul Williams committed suicide
I’m so glad my mom listened to the “oldies “ from Motown and the 60’s & explained to me about “falsettos “ I know what good music is and is not!
Sister 🌹
Yes our ears were blessed as children. I think that's why hip-hop was so much better in the 80s and 90s.
@@Lilianamarie999 true! Everyone sampled The G.O.A.T. James Brown! And all the bands and acts that could really play music!
You said otisWilliams group was named the Drifters , Nay That's not correct The name of Otis Williams group was "The Distants "
Oh and I'm sorry Good morning ❤️
❤️
Otis Williams and The Distants
I was gonna say The Drifters is the group that Ben E King was in
@@tgirl1762 Clyde McFater, and Rudy Lewis, too.. Rudy, was a hell of a lead singer. He is certainly, an unsung hero.
Eddie Kendricks one of my favorite singers of all time
Eddie is definitely my favorite singer of all time with his tall cute sexy self.👄
This was one of my favorite Unsung episodes. I'm about to watch it again. Thanks for the great recap
Motown music reminds me of old card parties my dad used to have in the hood. Good ghetto times! RIP Daddy!💕 Good job Nay!💕
There will never be another with a voice so velvet smooth as Eddie Kendricks RIP EDDIE KENDERICKS
According to google,yes,Rick was his nephew.i never knew that lol
Rick James is the nephew of Melvin Franklin
I grew up in Detroit, Nay.
I don't know if I've mentioned it to you before or not. And, I'm old enough to remember every single hit ever recorded and released by The Temptations when the 45 came out.
With regard to who could sing? Put it this way: Ain't no way in hell you could be a Temptation and NOT be able to sang your way into heaven on the strength of your own voice. 🎙
BTW, I am also a Sagittarius.
The Temptations was the Baddest Male Group ever.. my favorite of course the Original Group. But after Davies Ruffin was fired, they hired Dennis Edwards who kept them on a steady pace. When they sung “ Cloud Nine” which won Motown their very first Grammy. Out of all of them beautiful Love Ballads that David and Eddie lead,what Dennis sung ,put them on the highest level that you could be on. They also won their second Grammy when Dennis Edward led them on “Papa Was A Rolling Stone”. But I believe Dennis could sing with any Group.I always loved the Temptations except this group now. They are too old now.
THE TEMPTATIONS LEGACY LIVES ON
The main lead on papa was a rolling stone was Richard Street and Ricky Owens Dennis only sang the first verse
@@keithcampbell6806 No, Richard Street, and Eddie Kendrick would sing parts of the song, but Dennis Edward sung the main course of the song.Maybe you should listen to it again.
@@lindabrown2090 Maybe you should listen to it again,that's not Eddie it's DAMON HARRIS ON PAPA
Yes temptations the best of all times.
Otis also was nose diving, he said that they all did it. He said that was the thing at that time. I guess he was good at hiding it.
Hall and Oats Man eater and my favorite I can't go for that.
My favorite Temptation was David, his voice was amazing. He could get high as Eddie and could get as raspy as Dennis.
Yeah Blue was indeed related to Rick James but if I'm not mistaken I was told that Blue was also related to David Ruffin, I don't know how true that is though.
Good info
Yes you betta say that. The Temps is THAT legendary group!
I love Eddie Kendricks always..
Yes, Eddie Kendrick will always be my favorite ♥ Temptation... Talented singer, tall and handsome...
Eddie was the MAN!
And thank you for reminding me how much I love The Temptations - the greatest group of all time❤️. Their music is forever🎶🎉
There was another video, I watch serveral yrs. ago were the family said he made things right with the daughter mother, he also sign the birth certificate, he made things right with them all and he attend his church gave his life to the Lord as time pass his mother took care of him until his death⏪
Really?
Are you sure it wasn't the unSung episode where Aika mentioned him signing "those papers"? She said she thought it was his way of making peace with her Mom. The part about his spirituality and his mother being at his side until he passed away was in one of the biographies I read. They said he kept singing Precious Lord (I think) in his waning hours until he passed. 😭
The supremes broke that door down. They played the Copa in 65’ and David was furious that Diana Ross got lead billing over the supremes..
That wasn't his business
Otis was the boss and Melvin was the right hand man
See we need more information on Paul and Eddie growing up together. Especially Paul williams
Eddie, Paul and Dennis were my homies. I personally know Paul’s family. Eddie came home to live before he died. You would see him walking down the street where he grew up. Everyone loved Eddie and Paul. They fought as kids, and singed in the church. Eddie wanted to be baptized before he died when he was in the hospital and they made accommodations to have that done. Paul didn’t come back home. Nobody and I mean NOBODY believes Paul killed himself. Eddie was never the same after Paul died. They were like brothers. Use to sing Doo Whop together on street conners. Paul’s first cousin is my daughter’s godfather. I still have the ticket stub from when I saw them in concert when they made it big😊. Love me some Eddie and Paul!!
I grew up in Detroit MI I knew so many Motown stars children, nieces, nephews! My cousin would do Aretha Franklin son hair.
Love your story telling Nay. As someone who grew up during the Motown explosion--anticipating each new hit--and reading every article in Ebony, Jet, Soul Magazine, and later on books to keep up with my music idols, accuracy is important when conveying info. As you know cocaine was the big thing back then and many entertainers tried it, did or were doing it--some recreational and some habitual. They were all doing 'cough syrup' too to help keep their voices on point as well as for the high. The 60s and 70s were fun times with pill popping, drinking, weed smoking, 'cough syrup', and snorting nose candy or 'booga suga' as you call it. The early 80s took a sharp turn when crack hit the streets.The devastation in the families and communities was horrible and things were never the same. Many entertainers had one drug of choice, others did two or more, some did primo, still others did whatever was in the building! So please be sure to differentiate your time periods and drug usage a little more clearly. It was confusing. Also if you can find any old books by the author Tony Turner, a Motown roadie, he shows a whole 'nother side to it all. I've read many musicians' books and understand your interest in the legends. Keep bringing the legendary music history Sis. You are valuable to the culture.💕💕
Eddie might have experimented with drugs. According to those who knew him best, he was no drug addict. He drank, but most of all, he had a very serious cigarette habit. I hate when they add smut to a story about a person or just get the facts wrong. Eddie was not known to have a drug habit. That was David's demon.
The o'jays are better than new edition
They were different types ojays were true soul singers New Edition was more pop rnb
@@thatboyruut2169
New Edition had five Billboard Top 20 pop singles; the O'Jays had seven.
@@nycsongman9758 Wow I did not know that !
That's close but they are before NE time, but my friend we play basketball together, his name is Eric he took one of the original singers place, so I'm partial. They are all cool.
Sarah’s smile!! My dad would play that song out!!!! RIH daddy!!!
My grandma’s favorite song

Lets be honest.
It was David voice that broke The temptations in super stardom
The Copa Cabana was located in New York City. The group also recorded an album, "The Temptations Live At The Copa", in 1968. That was the first album to feature David Ruffin replacement, Dennis Edwards. It was released just before they scored a big hit with their album, "Cloud Nine", which kicked off their "psychedelic era", which lasted until 1971. Sly and The Family Stone inspired Otis Williams, and producer Norman Whitfield, to present this type of music to the Temptations. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
I have to admit that I loves me some David Ruffin💘💘💘💝
How they didn't know eddie was a smoker he always had cigarettes with him
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏾
@@uptownnayrob i mean look at paul went to hospital for his sick cell cigarettes paul funreal cigarettes firing david cigarettes the pinci cigarettes
Eddie kendricks daughter act like she didn't care to much for him because everything she said was negative about him
Eddie had to stay with Motown because they wouldn't let him out of his contract at the time. David Ruffin fought tooth and nail to get out of his Motown contract too. Apparently David wanted to make a group with him, Eddie, Paul, and Dennis.
His last performance at the Apollo was sad but he went into the audience.
Eddie was my fav!
Eddie stayed on Motown due to his contract agreement.
Each member had single contract and group contract.
Love Eddie Kendricks legendary man great guy❤
That's not true that Eddie Kendricks did drugs, Dennis Edward's said in the episode of Unsung, Eddie's drug was those cigarettes, but he never seen him do other drugs, but he did drink tho!
From my understanding , when Eddie was with David, he did get high and at one point became addicted to drugs!!!😮😂
Eddie was a crackhead? That's not true, I don't believe that. In fact, Dennis Edwards said that he NEVER saw Eddie use drugs. He said "Eddie's bad boy was a pack of cigarettes". I won't say he never experimented with drugs, but he was no drug addict.
Furthermore, Otis Williams was not the founder of the Temptations. He was one of the "co-founders" of the Temptations along with Eddie, Paul, Eldridge, and Melvin. However, Otis did consider himself the BOSS of the others and imposed his will on the other guys. He hired and fired many members. He was shady and sorta underhanded. Till this day, he still holds a grudge against Eddie for whatever reason. Watch David's funeral video. Of all the Tempts there, Otis was missing. It was apparent that something shady had been going on within that group down through the decades, and that Otis played a major part in it. He now pretends that he, alone, was perfect and had to keep everyone else straight. That's not how it really was. Otis was the least talented member of the Temptations. The group's sound wouldn't have missed a beat without Otis. Because, he had less talent, his only way to claim fame was to act the part of the badass slave master. Which is why so many guys cycled in and out of the Temptations. Eddie💋, David and Dennis were the voices. Ain't nobody was coming to see you Otis 😁. THE END!
If anything the rest of the group should have voted to get rid of Otis Williams because as we all know Otis couldn' sing his way out of a bag and if you notice he didn't have any lead verses all he had was a couple of spoken words and still sounded like shit.speaking of Diana Ross she got everything handed to her 'she sang lead and got top billing only because she was banging berry Gordy but before that she been with almost everybody in the tempts and I hated that most girl groups sang better than Diana Ross got passed over.
This lady is very funding annoying the way she dishes it out.
@@kenardgreene7083
You are 💯% correct! Otis could sing (2nd tenor) but nothing special or outstanding IMHO. He is definitely no Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, or Dennis Edwards. Nowhere close to either one of those legendary icons. Eddie and David were wonderful unique singers. They can NEVER EVER be replaced!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@kenardgreene7083 WOW...Diana Ross, crossed Florence Ballard. 🙄🙄🙄
@@beatricebarfield6894 She was a witch in the backyard!
I've been a devout Temptations fan from their beginning. I was in Vietnam in 1968-1969. Then coming home, Eddie Kendricks was the falsetto for me. Before my voice changed I could sound like Eddie.
Great Day Nay and Family Happy Wednesday!! Look like ole Diana made her rounds too 😂... David was a mess smh and you couldn’t tell him nothing lol 😆 and Eddie was more humble to me !! Make it a great day everyone, remember to hit that like 👍🏽 button good ppl be Blessed ☀️❤️😘
Diana was really sumthin....
The Dramatics" was Great and underated"
Truth‼️‼️‼️‼️
I love them. One of my favorite groups
Gm edagdwg thanks for sharing this story of what happens when you give your voice to the world God bless him Eddie K. was enjoying his life singing about love making people feel true love Lindaj.☮️☮️☮️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
I love this story on Eddie😍
What about Eddie and Paul's time in Cleveland before they went to Detroit?
Yes we need more info
Good morning everyone! 👍🏾♥️
🌄
David thought he was Diana Ross! 😂 There was only one artist that could move that way at Motown and survive to tell the story ...
I am not sure but I think Eddie was still under contract with motown when he quit the temptations. Motown was not going to release Eddie from his contract until they had used up.
According to close friends of the Temptations, bass singer, Melvin Franklin referred to everybody as either cousin, or nephew. He claimed fellow Temptation, Richard Street, was his cousin, and that Rick James was his nephew. Maybe it was just a southern thing. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
Thank you Nay this is so nice but I have a problem with Otis being blessed to be last Temptation still alive. I’ve read every book and article on the Tempts and from Otis vantage point he was the only stable one. Otis is the least talented of all of them. I don’t think that Otis is giving us a fair assessment of the David & Eddie. Susan DePasse did not care for David or Eddie and she helped him to write those books. I feel that Eddie had a whole lotta talent and could have made it further if not for the diagnosis of lung cancer on 1992 at the tender age of 52,
👀
You're right! I've also read everything I could get my hands on. Berry was jealous of Eddie for multiple reasons. Diana Ross was head-over-heels in love with Eddie with his tail handsome self. Women were automatically drawn to Eddie because he was sorta quiet and shy and very SEXY. Berry was not. He couldn't make Diana forget about Eddie. She once said that "Eddie was every woman's dream". Eddie sang like an angel. Berry couldn't touch him in that area either. Eddie won hearts without even trying because he was such a quiet, handsome, charming man.
Anyway, Berry and Motown had Eddie under contract which is why he stayed with Motown and continued to cut records under their label after he left the Temptations. Because of the envy, and because Eddie pounced across the desk to fight Berry once, Berry and Motown refused to properly promote Eddie's solo career. Spite! Some of the most beautiful music ever recorded is by Eddie Kendricks during his solo career: Never Gonna Leave You. The Girl of My Dreams. Honey Brown. Baby. Tell Her Love Has Found The Need To Leave Her. Good Night Pillow. Happy. Intimate Friends. If You Let Me. Skipping Work. Eddie's Love, etc. Besides the songs that did top the charts after he left the Temptations. If they backed him properly, Eddie Kendricks would have been an even bigger star.😘
@@Ms.L2803 you are so on point. You did your homework on this subject and I just love it. Be blessed.
@@Conniejwarner
Awww... Thank you! I am a huge Eddie Kendricks fan. Just discovered him about 2 years ago. I saw him in a video on UA-cam and I've been in love ever since.
I tried to find every piece of information on him that I could. Books, articles, videos, interviews... I even got to speak with several of his very close relatives. Eddie was an amazing man. So handsome! Very loyal and very creative. He also had quite a temper and was said to be quite fearless when he got angry. Love me some Eddie Kendricks!💋💋
My dad was a Sagittarius. You are so right about them. Lol. Had his shady hustles at times. Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
Seems like Mary Wilson had everybody including being engaged to one of the Four Tops. I forget is name but, he's the only surviving group member. Diana also was with Smokey Robinson early on. But I really fell in love with Eddie's voice. He's so smooth.
Four Tops surviving member is Abdul "Duke" Fakir.
The Ojays are the other group that's still going! Sound of Philly!
Sister girl you are too funny! I love it! Norman Whitfield is the producer you were thinking of!
Thank you 💖
They went to Motown as the Elgins and Berry had them change the name BECAUSE of copyright infringement of the watch of the same name. They came up with the Temptations.
This wasn't only informative, your presentation is FANTASTIC!
I call hall and Oates blue eye soul they were terrific
@Uptown Nay Rob great job!!! Keep up the good work!!! 😍👍🏿
I am like you Nay I loved me some David Ruffin💖
💦
I love your spirit! You are the most free spirited and comical person on UA-cam! The name of the group that Otis and Paul Williams was with along with Elbridge Bryant was called The Distants (not The Drifters). The lead singer they lost was Richard Street, who left them because he had got Diana Ross pregnant and wanted to do the honorable thing and marry her. However, she never had the baby. He would join back with the group after they became The Temptations after Paul's performance was no longer up to par. The original manager of The Primes was Milton Jenkins. It was producer Norman Whitfield who determined the direction The Temptations would go with their material (not Berry Gordy) and Shelley Berger determined the direction of their live material. It was Sam Cooke who opened the door for R&B singers at the Copa, and, based upon his success during his second appearance there, Berry booked The Supremes, then The Temptations and the rest of his most successful acts.
Eddie Kendricks never wanted to leave The Temptations. He wanted to do what MIchael and Jermaine Jackson did back then (and others do today all the time) and do a few solo albums but remain with the group. Everyone agreed (as evidenced by their signatures on the back of his first album) but, at the last minute, they changed their mind. He was still under contract so he could not leave Motown. As bad as Eddie Kendricks spoke of Berry G, it was Berry who bailed him out when he got arrested at David Ruffin's funeral and who allowed Eddie to be one of the few artists to receive writer's credit during a time it was not Berry's policy to do so (unless you sang with Smokey)!
Oh I truly enjoyed this thank u so much you are the best at what you do hands down sis 🙌🏽👏🏽✨💗 can you share your lip pie color and brand name
Stop sis, lol, Bobby gonna out live them all! Not likely but sometimes the one who they say is the worst lives the longest. Great content!
NE has nothing on the Temps!!
Melvin was the “glue” of the group. Otis was the “leader”.
Wondered if Eddie D Kendricks ever paid his brother back for stealing his income tax check...
I didn't know it was his brothers check.Eddie's daughter said it was Eddie's uncle's income tax check not his brother's check. In another interview Eddie said himself it was his uncle's check. Whoever's check it was I wondered the same thing. I want to believe that Eddie probably did return the money plus some. To me Eddie was so cool and such a gentleman and so decent he gave it back. That's just my opinion.
Mann... This woman is soo beautiful to me. This is my second time seeing her on UA-cam. Wow...
Thank you, Nay for sharing my website on the show today. Great recap too!❤️
I'm so embarrassed, I thought you were new on You Tube, when I ran across the George Clinton and Barry Gordy Videos of you. Turns out, you were only new to me! 😂
I love your style of Narrating and Storytelling! ❤️
Same! Bingeing for a week now.
Me too. Ms Nay your great 👍 at what you do. Love it. 💘
Otis had a secret contract making mored than everyone else
It was entertaining again nay thank you 😊
Can I ask where you read that Eddie did drugs? Because of my knowledge he didn’t have a drug problem, his problem was smoking Dennis even said that.
Otis said in his book that they all dabbed in drugs. Even in the movie there's a brief scene when Eddie went to David's house to talk and David handed Eddie the straw to hit some lines. The movie didn't mention Dennis doing drugs but he went to rehab. I guess the drugs was just a thing in that era.
@@bronzebeautybrown3949 With all due respect ma’am I really don’t believe anything from that movie lol. I don’t look at that movie as a biopic for the simply fact that they withheld information and changed a lot to fit “Hollywood standards”. For example Paul, they didn’t tell us he had sickle cell they just made it seem like he was drinking to drink when that wasn’t the case, and that’s just one example there’s other things that didn’t sit well with me when it comes down to that movie. So when it comes down to that scene with David and Eddie who can really verify that really happened?
I love your channel. My dad raised me on these old school groups and music. Definitely a pleasure to hear these stories about the OGs of muisc
Hello ma'am its The Distants...Not the Drifters
eddie and david and dennis solo music are greater than temptations commercial hits
Otis Williams was and still is the
leader of the group.
He is the last surviving founding member of the group.
They just didn’t agree with his decisions.
But if it wasn’t for him,
there would be no Temptations.
@Joe Green
No Otis.
He was the glue.
THE OJAYS BEEN GOIN STRONG OVER 63 YEARS
The ojays do not have cross over appeal the way The temptations and New edition have TYRONE
Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing this story of what happens when you have a voice to share the group God bless them all love them I'm sooooooo blessed to know God for myself as a child of God this is real the truth is real God bless Eddie K. Was always his own business person pay attention to what you see and hear you know they don't sound the same God bless him thanks for sharing this history of respect for the forever Temptations lin j.☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️da
Gm edagdwg thanks for sharing this story of what happens when you have what the people want singing like all you want is him to kiss you so sweet joy in his voice Linda j.☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️
Eddie Kendricks wasn’t an addict of hard drugs
Nay you just dug some memories out of me!!!
That's what I do 🌹
Love the Temptations! You should do The Isley Brothers!
THE TEMPTATIONS AND THE ISLEY BROTHERS WERE THE 2 GREATEST GROUPS IN THE WORLD,NOBODY CAN SING LIKE EDDIE,AND NO ONE CAN PLAY A GUITAR LIKE EARNIE ISLEY.
I enjoyed this, the host did an excellent job.
The Temptations/Motown made history & their music helped many Whites & Blacks get through the Vietnam War!
Diana Ross 1st child is the Love Child of Berry Gordy!
When you are under contract with a record company and for whatever reason you are not in the group any longer, that record company is under contract with that departing member for a few solo albums.
Barry the Gordy😂😂😂😂
Random question: has Otis ever sung lead? I feel like I’ve heard everyone’s voice solo except him…
Check out Don't Send Me Away on UA-cam.
He sang lead on I Ain't Got Nothing on the All Directions LP.
Also This Guy's In Love With You.
And many various shared leads on songs during the psychedelic period and he also does a beautiful first tenor falsetto in the background as well as second tenor and baritone, so in my opinion,he has the most versatile background voice.
@@anthonynero1078
Who does? Not Otis! Otis can barely carry a tune in his second tenor note. Tripping!
I don't care what no one says Eddie Paul and David could sing but the glue to the group was Otis and Melvin was the rock always seemed steady my favorite song was My girl sung at my wedding and Poppa was a rolling stone and yes according to other behind the music and legends and unsung Ric James was Melvin nephew good job funny and cute by the way
Can You Please Do A Episode On Frankie Lymon Please?

They ended up telling David he could come back after reunion but David was on shaningans again
Paul was with the group with Melvin Eddie and Otis first started out Paul was the one that committed suicide so Paul and Melvin were my favorites ❤️❤️
