    Eddie Kendricks was the love of my mama life! Her birthday was October 12th and when Eddie died on October 8, 1992 my mom had to pull the car over. She just broke down. My mom was about 32 and I was about 8, but I remember that day clearly. My mom wore black for an entire year. Gerald LeVert was the only man that could bring her out of that funk. Chile and you know what happened there. Long live those greats Mr. Kendricks, Mr. LeVert, and my OG Mudda (my mom) 🙌🏽♥️ great job Ashley!

So, Berry Gordy used his power and influence to stifle Eddie's solo career. Eddie Kendricks became a chart topping, number one hit solo artist on the sheer strength of his talent and personal appeal.

    Hey Ms. Ashley, you did a good job. Eddie is my blood relation on my Mom's side of the family (named Youngblood). Our family was originally in Union Springs, AL. then moved to Ensley, and finally in Pratt City, AL. Eddie attended the local high school named Western Olin High, which is now Jackson Olin High (named after Mr. Jackson the Principal). My Aunt Edna is in her 80s and still argues with her remaining living classmate about which year Eddie left high school to pursue his career in the North. Hava a Blessed day. MJ

      So true!
      Very underrated. The main reason was because of Berry Gordy's spite and envy of Eddie. He could never completely take Diana Ross's mind off of Eddie. Eddie really was her one true love. Berry envied the younger, sexier, far more handsome Eddie Kendricks. So, Gordy didn't promote Eddie's solo career as well as he could have. Yet and still, Eddie Kendricks is a very beloved musical icon on the sheer strength of his talent. 💜💕💜

    My dad worked in the tv business and then the record business back in the 60s and worked with a lot of the Motown acts. He loved the Temptations but he said Eddie Kendrick was the hardest to get along with out of all of the Motown singers. Eddie didn’t mess around with Mary Wells but he didn’t mess around with a lot of the females in and around Motown black & white. Eddie wasn’t the only one who was jealous of Marvin Gaye everyone was.
    Edit: my dad always thought Paul Williams did kill himself because he had serious health problems that were making his life hell and a lot of his friends left him behind bc he was hard to be around.

      Not sure narcissistic is the right term to describe Eddie. Eddie Kendricks NEVER had to lay traps and play games to get women. Women LOVED Eddie! The problem was all of the traveling and so many women trying to get to him. He didn't have to play games to get women. He did not enjoy hurting women. He was a very caring person. Not at all egotistical or arrogant.
      Eddie was known as a loner. He shied away from much of the group's after performance activities. He often retired to his own private room and stayed to himself.

      No, Eddie NEVER needed "game". Eddie was a much sought after, beloved, tall, handsome, sexy, man. He would have to RUN after performances! Women chased him and tried to rip his clothes off.
      That said, he cared deeply about his fans and spent time signing autographs and posing for pictures. He wasn't the playah type. More of a southern gentleman.

      please.🤣😘
      I first saw Eddie Kendricks in late summer 1970, as a member of the original Temptations while on tour with several other popular Motown groups and solo artists, he was my favorite next to David and Paul.. all five were gorgeous, talented showman’s, and so classy on stage, it’s probably the best concert compared to many. 🤩
      Around 1983, met Eddie Kendricks in a nightclub down south (GA) he was sitting at a table alone, I had heard on radio he would be there and assumed he was there to perform, he only sang a few lines of “Keep On Truckin” that lasted less than 2 minutes, because health wise he couldn’t, he was super thin, frail like, this person with him had to hold onto him to keep Eddie from falling down, clearly should not been out working, it was hurtful to see him that way.. but earlier while he was sitting alone I did briefly speak with him, he was soft spoken and very kind, I was nervous, couldn’t believe I was in the presence of this legendary person.. I did ask if I could get his autograph and he said sure.. great memory, he remembered my name too, and on a restaurant white napkin he addressed to me with my name “Best wishes, with love Eddie Kendricks” I still have it, R.I.P.🐐❤️

    A TH-cam video "Remembering Eddie Kendricks" is one of Eddie's last performances. He is very thin; his voice is weak, but his charm and ability to captivate an audience are not diminished.

    I read some comments on The Temptations Psychedelic Shack video that said Eddie Kendricks wasn't a fan of Melvin Franklin! He didn't think they needed a Bass singer. When questioned about their source, those who commented said they read it in a book called Motown: Music, Money, Sex, and Business, I believe it was called.

      Eddie never gotten along with Melvin and had been trying to push him out of the group since day one and wanted to bring in a singer he knew from his Cleveland days.
