if you ever witness the Temptations In Paris video, you’ll become more aware that in 1973, they must have knew that live in concert no one was better with the steps, than they were and you’ll be amazed of Damon Harris, delivering his live version of I’m Gonna Make You Love Me, it make you wonder, why they never recorded it without the Supremes, when Kendrick was a member.

Plus, Richard Street blending with the harmony of First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, this should make critics change their minds about the new members to give them the credit that they not only deserve, but truly earned in being placed in the group.

The Live In Paris, will show you five members, who were stuck like glue to the technically steps that the sixties unit was known for to their fans you will be deeply impressed. Otis might have had a problem with Damon Harris, but this young man like his predecessor was the one that told fans the song center around his falsetta that fans refer to on all records. Almost like, who voice do you hear in the back ground and if, it wasn’t Williams or Ruffin, it most likely was Kendrick, which Damon kept in form, as a member for five years.

Remember when Eddie, David and Dennis got together briefly in 1991 and toured together? David died later that same year and Eddie passed the next year. I miss all three of these guys.

Edie, you have created a treasure trove of music knowledge on this site. This web site should be enshrined in the Smithsonian Museum. It`s like climbing into the attack, blowing the dust off a chest and slowly lifting the top, never knowing what goodies awaits. I always thought I was a big temptation fan, but SoleMann`s knowledge of the Temps, The Stylistics, among others, is second to none. Looking over this blog I see where I made a bonehead mistake. I said that Otis was gone when I ment Melvin. At least I think I ment Melvin, either that or I was drunk that night. HaHa! I really lost track of the group once Dennis left. Now let me find the light switch in this attic and see what other surprise awaits. Took almost 10 years to discover my Otis mistake, but I always say better late than never. And by the way The Temps just put out a new CD. Otis, the last remaining original member, has still maintained that "Temptation" sound. I just finished reading his book now long ago.

Did you say Otis was gone form the Temptations? When did this happen.
Comment by Edie Antoinette on January 30, 2010 at 8:57am

"..now that Otis is gone?" What?? When??

Comment by KnightD12 on January 30, 2010 at 5:23am
Bruce reminds me of Ruben Studdard. My question is, who is gonna keep these guys in check ( keep that ole Temptation tradition alive ] now that Otis is gone? Already I notice they have abandoned the Tempt smooth moves. And where the heck is the Temptation Mics, you know that 4 pronged thing that was their trademark???? Sure, they are playing smaller venues these days, but that`s no excuse to be 'Slackin`. Do ya think I`m too emotionally invested in this group? I do. lol

Remembering Q

E.FM Radio Spotlight

Quincy Jones is thoroughly entwined in the musical background of my young adulthood. A genius of unique quality. I have been posting blogs and music throughout the years and decided to embark on the arduous but satisfying task of gathering some of it to remember the excellent legacy that he left.
