    Other than Paul Williams, Dennis Edwards was arguably the most underrated Temptation. Even though Dennis was not an original member of the group, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the Classic 5 members of the Temps, and he outlived Melvin, Eddie, Paul, David, Damon, Richard, and Ali-Ollie. I so wish he had written a book to tell The Temptations' story from his lifelong perspective. Dennis definitely defined The Temptations' vocal sound for the late 1960s and much of the 1970s. May he Rest In Peace.

      @@latteliz1944 Yeah. Once Dennis left The Temptations for good, he founded his own spinoff group called The Temptations Review Featuring Dennis Edwards. They performed many of The Temptations classics during and before Dennis's time with the group. They had a good sound. I guess Dennis didn't have the desire to write a book, or he was worried that Otis might sue him because he (like Richard Street when he wrote his book, Ball of Confusion, published posthumously in 2014) didn't have anything nice to say about Otis, understandably.

    Dennis Edwards was a great replacement for the Temptations ,when David Ruffin was fired. Not only could Dennis sing with a group but he was also a great SoloArtist. ( Don’t Look Any Further) ( Cooling it Out) he could also dance. He was Tall dark and handsome too. He was a perfect fit for the Temptations.He inspired Aretha Franklin to write ( Daydreaming and I thinking of you). Dennis was a Bad Man.

      ...I not a huge fan of Otis Williams but I will give him props for keeping The Temptations going for as long as they've been going. In a group when you have ppl with addiction issues it effects everyone. Just like a family member addicted. You have to make those tough decisions to fire/hire because y'all all not gonna eat because 1 is not there to fulfill your obligations. Otis had to pull rank @ some point in time. Imo..
