    Thanks for this! Loved Eddie. His family’s last name didn’t have the “s” at the end, he added that once he went to Detroit. I remember the day he died. The streets were packed with ppl once word got out that Eddie had passed away. He was truly loved in his hometown. They also have an Eddie Kendricks park on 4th Ave north around the corner from the Civil Rights museum. You should visit 😊. Thx again!

      Yes. He added the "S" as part of his stage name. This probably evolved out of the fact that it rolled off of the tongue easily. However, at the end if his career, Eddie dropped the "S" from his last name, returning to the original pronunciation. Check It Out! Ciao!!!

    I toured with James Brown and the famous flames from 1965 until 2006. I played baritone saxophone and was on hits like " I Got You, I Feel Good" The Big Payback, Papa's got a brand new bag , Try Me, Please Please Please, Say it loud I'm black and I'm proud! ALL 39 albums and 110 top 20 hits. I never smoked but still can't get around without my tank. we played in venues FILLED with smoke! we had to blow for two hours at a time! ALL the guys are dead, all from this poison. second hand smoke.

      THANK GOD you're ALIVE! You can STILL REPENT and RECEIVE JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOUR to have your name secured in His Book of Life!
      "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
      Revelation 20:15!
      We're ONLY BORN to fall in LOVE with JESUS, then go Home and live with HIM FOREVER. NO OTHER REASON! NOT riches, or fame, or poverty! By the way, I met a man working downstairs on an Amtrak train who didn't smoke, but said he "smoked" at LEAST fifty packs of second hand smoke a day! I told him I'd write and complain FOR him. Well I wrote the Surgeon General and Amtrak letters, and they changed their policy! No smoking till smoke stops, and I think they had a skunk car on the end! HALLELUJAH! I don't know how it is NOW. THAT was in the '90s! May GOD bless you royally! 🙏🙌

    Eddie was one of founding members of the Temptations,
    and was in the group from 1960-1971.
    While he was in the group,
    he was responsible for the
    group’s wardrobe and arranging the classic Temptations’
    vocal harmonies.
    He left the group in 1971 after
    “Just My Imagination” was released.
    He had a successful solo career with hits like:
    “Can I?”,
    “Girl,You Need A Change Of Mind”,
    “Keep On Trucking”,
    “Darling,Come Back Home”,
    “Boogie Down”,
    “Shoeshine Boy”,
    “He’s A Friend”,
    and more.
    He reunited with the Temptations in 1982 for a reunion album and tour alongside David Ruffin who was fired from the group in 1968.
    Eddie went on to tour with David and other former Temptation
    Dennis Edwards as
    “The Former Leads Of The Temptations”.
    They lasted until David died on
    June 1st,1991 from a drug overdose
    at the age of 50.
    Eddie and Dennis continue to tour until
    Eddie’s death on
    October 5th,1992.
