FIRST OF ALL DENNIS NEEDS TO BE LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO JENNY CRAIG WEIGHT LOSS CENTER. IF HE MADE BETTER INVESTMENTS WHEN HE WAS IN THE TEMPTATIONS (INSTEAD OF GIVING OTIS A HARD TIME) HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO TRAVEL 300 TIMES AN YEAR ON A BODY THAT REALLY NEEDS TO REST AND HE COULD STAND TO LOSE ABOUT 150 POUNDS! THERE IS NO WAY HE IS IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS SMOKY. DIANA, AND STEVIE. THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORK UNLESS THEY WANT TO. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST A MAN TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING BUT LETS FACE IT, DENNIS EDWARDS TIME HAS COME AND GONE!

If Otis made better investments instead of trying to get rid of the real talents that made up the Temptations maybe he wouldn't have to travel at all. I agree Dennis is not in the same league as Smokey,Diana or Stevie,but neither is Otis. Otis isn't in Dennis league. At least Dennis had a day. Otis had to rely on the talent of others to make a living,he still does.

no ur right; its not interesting if there aren't varying points of view ..thats what makes it appealing. i'm just saying there's no need for posters to be rude with their comments when stating their views..thats all HI TEMPSGUITARISTGIRL, I AGREE WITH YOUR POST THAT IT IS NO NEED FOR POSTERS TO BE RUDE. BUT AT LEAST ITS KEEPING THIS BOARD INTERESTING. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE RUDENESS--SOME FOLKS JUST CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SO CALLED "GUEST" POSTERS WHO HIDE BEHIND THE NAME OF "GUEST". TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, DON'T BE FOOLED--THEY AIN'T GUEST--THEY ARE MEMBERS SAYING WHAT THEY REALLY FEEL AND DON'T WANT IT TO BE KNOWN WHO THEY ARE. I'VE BEEN A LOYAL MEMEBER ON THIS BOARD FOR 4 YEARS AND TRUST ME I KNOW MOST OF THE FOLKS ON THIS BOARD PERSONALLY, KNOW HOW THEY THINK, KNOW HOW THEY WRITE AND KNOW THE INFORMATION THEY HAVE, AND SOME OF THESE POST HAVE THEIR NAME WRITTEN ALL OVER IT. THE SAD THING IS, THIS BOARD SHOULD BE A TRIBUTE TO DENNIS AND THE REVIEW FOR THEIR ACHEIVEMENTS AND INSTEAD THEY ARE USING IT FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE STABS WHILE THEY HIDE BEHIND THE NAME OF GUEST. I JUST WONDER WHAT SOMEONE DID TO RUFFLE THEIR FEATHERS SO WILL THE REAL "GUEST" STAND UP??? WoW! What are you hiding behind? Who are you talking about?

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST A MAN TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING BUT LETS FACE IT, DENNIS EDWARDS TIME HAS COME AND GONE! Just like Otis' time has come and gone? Why don't you tell us about the investments that he's made since you have so much knowledge on investments. Sounds to me like you are threatened by the truth. Let's face it,Otis gives himself a hard time trying to stop people from making a living. The last time Diana tried to go on tour,she had her dates canceled because nobody wanted to see her with her fake Supremes. Dennis is still performing and performing well. Seems like Dennis and Otis had the same accountant,since by your logic(or lack thereof) they both perform over 300 times a year,unless you're telling us that The Review is in more of a demand by the public to perform than Otis' group? Is that what you're trying to say? As far as whose league Dennis is or isn't in maybe Grammy-wise he's not in the same league as Smokey & Diana...they haven't attained multiple Grammy status like Mr. Edwards. Stevie has more and good for him. They were still inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame on the same day...but Dennis didn't have to wait as long as Stevie to get inducted,he was so great that they bent the rules for him ;D As far as his weight,hey he don't miss any meals. Let's face it ,you're just mad that the Review is doing so well and Otis & 'em are still trying to find a new identity. The Review Rules.

YOU GUYS BRING UP SOME GOOD POINTS, SO LET ME RESPOND! OTIS HAS KEPT THE TEMPTATIONS LEGACY ALIVE BY HIRING EXTREMELY TALENTED PEOPLE LIKE THEO, BO, ALI, RAY DAVIS TERRY, GC, JOE, RON AND A HOST OF OTHERS. NOT TO MENTION YO BOY DENNIS! OTIS HAS NEVER BEEN A LEAD SINGER BUT HE HIRES OTHERS TO DO IT. RIGHT NOW GC CAMEON IS LIGHTING CONCVERT HALLS UP WITH HIS VERSIONS OF TEMP SONGS. THE MAN IS FANTASTIC! HE BRINGS A LOT TO THE TABLE! I KNOW THEY ARE BOTH IN DEMAND AT LEAST 200 TIMES A YEAR AND THAT IS COOL. BUT DENNIS GROUP(NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEY SOUND, ARE NOT THE TEMPTATIONS)! OTIS GROUP IS. IF DENNIS WERE THAT CONFIDENT HE WOULDN'T NEED TO USE THE TEMPTATIONS NAME AT ALL, HE WOULD ESTABLISH HIS OWN IDENTITY! AND YOU TALK ABOUT FAKE SUPREMES! THERE ARE MORE DAKE TEMPS OUT THERE THAN ANYTHING.

THERE ARE MORE DAKE TEMPS OUT THERE THAN ANYTHING. Tell us Please how O's group is The Temptations, and Dennis group is not? I would say Dennis actually contributed more to the groups ongoing success than O. At best O is and was a back ground singer,one I will add that never ever seemed to get the routine steps down! When you mention The Temptations, O's name does not come to mind. He is the least "remembered" member of the original group as well as the least talented. The four deceased members of C5 names are more recognizable than O,and they are dead!!!! O lucked up! He hitched his wagon to a group of talented young men and rode their coat tails all the way to the HOF, and into musical history. If O is the man obviously you and he believe him to be,why does he continue to use The Temptations name? Why does he advertise his groups shows using the images of Ruffin and Kendricks? I'll tell you why,O knows what time it is. He knows "aint nobody coming to see Otis"! "THERE ARE MORE DAKE TEMPS OUT THERE THAN ANYTHING". On this we agree....O's group can be counted in the number of "fake" Temptaions too! I also agree that O has never had a day,based on his "talent". He was in the right place at the right time. And was smart enough to know that the talent of David Ruffin,Eddie Kendricks,Paul Williams and Melvin Franklin could make his dreams come true.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "AINT NOBODY COMING TO SEE OTIS"! THAT IS EXACTLY WHO I AM COMING TO SEE WHEN I PAY MY MONEY TO SEE THE TEMPTATIONS! HE USES HIS TALENTS IN OTHER WAYS. HE IS A SONGWRITER, PRODUCER AND HE IS A TALENT SCOUT. HE HAS EMPLOYED MORE THAN 20 GUYS TO HELP HIM LIVE OUT HIS DREAM AND ALL OF THEM DID WELL. THEY NEED TO SEND OTIS A CHRISTMAS CARD EVERY YEAR, THANKING HIM FOR A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITYY. DENNIS AND OTIS WORKED TOGETHER WHEN CONTRIBUTING TO THE TEMPTATIONS. EVEN AFTER DENNIS WAS FIRED IN 1988 OTIS CONTINUED TO STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE REHIRING ALI WOODSON WHO BROUGHT PLENTY TO THE TEMPTATIONS. I REALLY WISH ALI WAS STILL THERE. THEY CONTINUED MAKING HITS LONG AFTER DENNIS LEFT LIKE SOUL TO SOUL, SPECIAL, HOOPS OF FIRE, SOME ENCHANTED EVENING, STAY, IM HERE, KISS ME LIKE YOU MISS ME, STILL TEMPTING, SOMETHING SPECIAL, AND REFLECTIONS. BOY OTIS HAS DONE A LOT SINCE DENNIS LEFT. DENNIS HAS ONLY PUT ON A DECENT SHOW WITH THOSE OLD SONGS. TO BE HONEST OTIS DOES THE SAME THING, BUT HE PUTS OUT A FRESH NEW ALBUM WITH A FRESH NEW MEMBER EVERY OTHER YEAR.

Otis has been quoted as saying "I'm going to ride this horse until the end". The "horse" that he spoke of are the Classic Temptations ghosts of David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, and Melvin Franklin. Had it not been for those four fabulous singers and dancers, the Temptations would have been like a lot of groups from that era, forgettable and forgotten. Lets not pretend that Oatass is more than what he is which is a barely passable background singer.
ER will now slither back to the Palace to cause mayhem on her on turf. Bye ya'll.

One more thought. Dennis Edwards has more of a claim on the Temptation name than Otis does. Dennis sang lead and it was Dennis' voice that took the Temptations to the Grammys. I don't think anyone gave Otis a thing for trying to sing Don't Send Me Away but a bus ticket. I'll slither on back now.

Wow! who would of thought Otis had all that talent and still continues to be the background singer...Something has to be wrong with this picture Mark maybe you can enlighten us on this... Why Otis remain a background singer?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "AINT NOBODY COMING TO SEE OTIS"! THAT IS EXACTLY WHO I AM COMING TO SEE WHEN I PAY MY MONEY TO SEE THE TEMPTATIONS! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ; Thanks Mark!!! for YEARS I've been trying to find ONE person that paid their money to see Greasy O! It's YOU!!!! HE USES HIS TALENTS IN OTHER WAYS. HE IS A SONGWRITER, PRODUCER AND HE IS A TALENT SCOUT....And the laughs just keep coming! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Enlighten us Mark, WHAT hits has Greasy penned? What groups has he produced? Talent Scout??? Well he should recognize Talent when he see's it. He sang back up for the "Best"!HE HAS EMPLOYED MORE THAN 20 GUYS TO HELP HIM LIVE OUT HIS DREAM AND ALL OF THEM DID WELL. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;DYep! He is a lucky fellow!!! He's always found somebody to carry his No-Talent having THEY NEED TO SEND OTIS A CHRISTMAS CARD EVERY YEAR, THANKING HIM FOR A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITYY. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Don't get it twisted Mark Bell ;D ;D ;D ;D O lucked up on the "Lifetime Opportunity". He owes Eddie Kendrick, Paul Williams and Melvin Franklin for securing the MOTOWN CONTRACT, and putting the Temptations on the musical map....He owes The Late Great David Ruffin for taking them from a good group to a GREAT group,and making them the Legends they became. He owes Paul Williams an apology for messing up his Chorography.He owes Barry Gordy for not replacing his no singing,no dancing azz!!! DENNIS AND OTIS WORKED TOGETHER WHEN CONTRIBUTING TO THE TEMPTATIONS. WHAT did O contribute?? EVEN AFTER DENNIS WAS FIRED IN 1988 OTIS CONTINUED TO STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE REHIRING ALI WOODSON WHO BROUGHT PLENTY TO THE TEMPTATIONS. I REALLY WISH ALI WAS STILL THERE. THEY CONTINUED MAKING HITS LONG AFTER DENNIS LEFT LIKE SOUL TO SOUL, SPECIAL, HOOPS OF FIRE, SOME ENCHANTED EVENING, STAY, IM HERE, KISS ME LIKE YOU MISS ME, STILL TEMPTING, SOMETHING SPECIAL, AND REFLECTIONS. BOY OTIS HAS DONE A LOT SINCE DENNIS LEFT. The Tempts did continue to have success after David,Eddie,Paul and Dennis.....But O's minimal talent had nothing to do with it.He just found other talented brothers to carry him. I guess you gotta give him that! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
