What many people don't know is that Pleas Return Your Love to Me only had 4 Tempts on it! Otis, Melvin, Eddie, and Paul! David wasn't on the single! (Go to bbbcorbitt interview with Otis Williams and he talks about that! Interesting!

David is on this song, its the b-side he's not on, according to Melvin, "How Can I Forget" is just him, Otis Paul and Eddie

Best of 1968. In Vietnam. Had some vietnamese chick trying to sing this song to me in downtown Saigon. She did a damm good job. Keep my sprit up until i return to the world. All the brothers Kenneth Weeks, Andrews Scott, My my Nathanial Jones from New Orleans. This song got us through

i love Eddie's solo song "Skipping Work" that song is BAD ASS! and he is bad ass on "Dream Come True"

what I think is so unique about Eddie's falsetto is not just he hits high notes for a man, but his voice never loses integrity and one of the reasons he's probably able to pull it off is that his natural tenor is amazingly beautiful. his falsetto also never overwhelms the background singing, but it's still a part of the unit. much falsetto singing can sometimes end up sounding like clanging cymbals after a while.

Yes, lots of backup. It's obvious he was a good soloist, but I' m equally impressed with his backup/shared solos and thinks he is the best I've seen. Singing with him made the rest have to step up their game/

@jejimypr You are righ. You must be a singer just like me. Eddie's voice remains consistent in quality, texture, and timbre throughout all of his songs. When he blends his head voice, and falsetto, the transition is beautiful. Listen to his work on the 'Mellow Mood' album, particularly 'With These Hands'. If you'll also notice, in his younger days prior to David Ruffin, his voice had a fuller, louder quality about it, and matured into a sweet, complete instrument during their classic period.

This was better than the remastered version.

Most of the guys in my neighborhood wanted to be Eddie. The women seemed to swoon as soon as he opened his mouth. LOL. Thanks for posting!

I'm joking you genius. Of course I'm not always right, but on this particular topic I am. Just shut up about it already
