[anitahosonaka]

Otis sings well!

[50srocknrollfan18]

Its awesome to be able to here Otis Williams sing more than 1 line for once :)

[oldschoolSlyfan]

It's OK but without Eddie, it's missing the mark

[prettyinpink622]

Where's Eddie?

[Monstermack40]

@prettyinpink622 This was a concert they did in Europe and Eddie couldn't leave the country at the time because of passport issues.

[prettyinpink622]

@Monstermack40 So they just went ahead without him? Wow.

[Monstermack40]

@prettyinpink622 They had no choice

[mariopot789]

@prettyinpink622 they were friends sure but they had to pay the bills too.

DENNIS!!! ALL DAY!!!

[fairfax17]

dennis edwards was the best replacement ever.

[bkthin]

@fairfax17 no, david ruffin was : )

[fairfax17]

@bkthin no problem, I see you are a fan as well but tell me,who did david ruffin replaced in the Temptations not the other group , the distance

[bkthin]

@fairfax17 elbridge "al" bryant. he eddie paul melvin & otis ARE the original temps

[TheDenise1333]

@fairfax17 Ali Ollie Woodson was also a great replacement.

[mangledinal]

I love this group and this song is too cool!

[guido1365]

thre is no temtations withoutd ruff

[jacksonhardenmusic]

I love melvin singing bass.

[TheDenise1333]

To me i like Otis better singing Eddie parts.

[jody808]

they made the adjustment in Eddie Kendrick's absence

[chacha803]

Eddie must was gitting his teeth work on.. 

[yesfinallygot1]

idk. i might be crazy but for some reason i like otis's singing the most of these four. fave is david ruffin though :D

[emytad]

WOW! I like the way they took turns filling in for Eddie's parts. Awesome ! Where was Eddie, by the way ?

[KhaelaCH]

@emytad He was probably out sick... ppl tend to focus on Paul's issues and forget that Eddie had lung cancer...

[emytad]

@KhaelaCH yeah. you right. thanks !

[gittahfiend]

@KhaelaCH I dont think he had cancer that far back

[KhaelaCH]

@gittahfiend he may have... he smoked a LOT...

[KhaelaCH]

I heart Melvin... Him and Paul are my favs ^_^

I just wish OTIS would open his dang MOUTH when he sang... then again, I guess it gives it more character lol

[Susikins58]

@KhaelaCH

Hahaha. I just wish Otis would learn how to SING! His voice stands out like a sore thumb. He has no blend. How can you possibly be a part of a group and not know how to blend with the rest of the voices? Hence, the lack of talent really shows in this individual. Replaceable!

[SBRslacker00]

@Susikins58

I've always wondered how Otis played a part in that group because it definitely wasn't his talent. I think he was the glue that held the group together even as it went through all of it's turmoil.

If you haven't watched it already, check out _The_Temptations_, a TV movie from 1998. I think it's still available on YouTube. It gives a very interesting dramaticly recreated look at the Tempations history and that movie is what made me a huge fan. The acting is superb and accurate.

[kybelian]

@SBRslacker00 Otis was an accomplished singer but he was also the drive and leader of harmony in the group.

[aleeking1]

This is great, but not the same without Eddie.....

[muttlee1213]

Fabulous; unbelievable!! ThankYouThankYouThankYou!!



[Plumavision]

I believe that was shot after Eddie Kendricks went solo, Keep On Truckin' Baby!

[unitedhammer]

Cos Eddie wasn't there, they were forced to sing live. Great video!!!!!!

[sherndare]

Awesome effort, but where is the missing link?

[h1ydrippa]

where the EFF is Eddie?
