Growing up i always thought Melvin seemed like the nicest man on the face of the planet, supremly talented, incredibly humble and a smile and demeanour of the worlds cuddliest teddy bear, miss all y'all but especially you Blue, RIP
someone please, please, please tell me a contemporary artist that sound like/are clearly influence by the temptations, four tops, smokey and the miracles?
@delpurgatorio117 Musiq Soulchild. Raphael Saadiq. Eric Benét. D'Angelo (if he ever gets back to recording). Cee-Lo (though there's huge doses of 70s funk tossed in with the Motown).
Female artsits clearly inspired by Motown would include Melanie Fiona, Jasmine Sullivan, and Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings.
I still favor David Ruffin and I think it's a crock of bull**** that they didn't get nominated for a Grammy until AFTER he got fired. No disrespect to Dennis Edwards. I love everything in which Dennis sang the original lead but even he couldn't touch David. Ain't too Proud to Beg always I liked over Cloud Nine and David always sung his butt off. To a degree, I can't blame him for having an ego. He knew he was good. He just went about it badly.
@MrNostalgiaX True but it's more of a shame Motown didn't win a grammy until the Temps won. People make a big deal of David's ego but being the lead singer is rewarding but comes with a ton of pressure and expectations. David along with Eddie, Paul, and Dennis handled it the best way they knew of and let's not forget these guys were still in their 20s and early 30s during the group's greatest success
Yea i feel that Dennis voice is better than David's(no disrespect to David).....but, Paul's voice is better than David's too.... i always loved Paul's voice and Dennis's...... Well Hell....i love me some Eddie too tho..... :-)
I love this lineup of the Tempts! Better than the originals, I think David was great I just prefer Dennis' voice better and the music they sang with him as lead!
Ain't nobody comin' to see you, Otis!

Dennis Edwards had that raspy voice that added emotion and soul
Paul Willams and Otis Williams added perfect background harmony singing
Eddie Kendricks and Melvin Franklin had that low/high voice that varied from the rest
Together they were 1 perfect voice

Like Billy Davis Jr., Dennis Edwards is one of those terribly underrated soul singers. He brought new life to the group.
