    Otis could and can still sing I have been a Temptation fan since I was 6yrs old and I'm now 66 and never missed a show during the Motown review and after David was fired, still continued to go see their shows.So there you have it. Speak truth not what you think you know.

  • @je6845

    @WBPTV.... Neither David nor Otis could change the name of the group to David Ruffin and The Temptations simple because (1) David was not one of the Original Members on the day that the group signed the contract with Motown. As per Diana and Smokey who were original members of their respective group on signing...... (2) David did not seek to get released from His Solo Contract from Motown... A Contact Which he signed, LONG BEFORE The Temptations EVEN became a group. (3) He did not seek for Barry Gordy to sign him into the group with any stipulation of becoming an actual member.... As such, he was being paid as per his original solo contact which he had signed on the Label.... Therefore, Lawyers would be required to get him out of his original solo contact, only then could he negotiate with the four original members for him to become their lead singer..... All and all, I doubt the group would last longer than a day. Paul and Eddie, already felt pushed aside when David keep getting most of the good songs. Considering that they were the ones who sang at the audition for the group's acceptance to the Label, And with David erotic behavior at that point... In case you forget. Not only was David demanding preferential treatment. He was so stoned out on drugs most of the time that not only was he missing the group rehearsal. But he would turn up late for shows, even missing them all together. Promoters began to demand refund of their money from OTIS, whenever David was a no shows. Even though Paul would STEP UP, and sing David's songs, the fans and the promoters became angry and pissed at David for his lack of respect for them with his "no - show attitude", when ever the group was booked.....

    Otis Williams is still alive and performing.
    The last original founding member of the Temptations.
    The Temptations made David not the other way around.
    His solo career was horrible.
    He only had two major hits.
    “My Whole World Ended”
    (1968)
    and
    “Walk Away From Love”
    (1975)

      Woah listen don’t get it twisted Otis did have the least talent out of everyone but he could sing the only thing is he was more beneficial in the background.I feel if he had to vocal training to get his voice stronger he would be a good lead singer.Don’t send me away,open your heart.

    • @jaysinger9941
      @jaysinger9941 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Otis can sing.
      Not everybody is meant to sing lead.
      He was a founding member,
      so he kept the group together,
      which he is still doing today.
      Keeping a group together for 61 years is much more important than singing lead.

    Eddie Kendricks is my favorite Temp. Even as my sister dated Melvin Franklin when I was about 5 or 6 when she was attending Northern High School in Detroit. Wait a minute that ain't quite right. I didn't become an Eddie Kendricks fan till' around 1967 when he sang lead on *_You're My Everything._* My friends and I used to go to this small restaurant and I remember playing the mess out of that song on the jukebox.
    Years later I was looking through my sister's h.s. yearbook and saw an autographed picture of the Temptations when "Al" Bryant was still in the group. I asked her 'which one did I meet (he came over to the house once when we lived on Clay and Melrose in Detroit. The only thing I remember is looking up at him and saying "he's too tall for me") when I was little.'
    (I believe I've posted that moment in my young life more than once so my apologies if you read it 2 or 3'xs before) She then pointed to Melvin who was sitting in the middle. She must have gotten that picture around 63', when she graduated, or before because I think Melvin had long since graduated from Northwestern High School.
    Personally, I think the group should have been called *_Cornbread and The Temptations._* No? Ok I tried. LOL!
    Here's the picture I saw of the Temps in my sister's yearbook.

      David was not,
      and he was a replacement.
      So whatever they said went,
      and they fired David.
      He only had two major hits,
      so he didn’t do that well in his solo career.
