Hey MissLandra and WELCOME Lee! Haven't been here in a while...things have been quite hectic for me lately. I try to refrain from comparing any of the former leads because each are unique and have their own style. They all sound the best when I'm listening to them! One fact remains, they all were/are awesome performers!

Dennis came to the Temptation organization and took them to levels that will never be achieved by any other lead vocalist after his departure from the organization. I have stated on other sites dedicated to the Temptations that every individual that came after the Classic Five Plus Dennis were contributors and not replacements. The only other person that deserves to be placed in the C-5 plus Dennis would be Ron Tyson. These are voices that could never be replaced. Dennis' impact is the one formula that The Tempts today is missing. I take great pride in the fact that I have personally seen every line-up of Temptations from the Classic 5 plus Dennis to their current group, and there is no comparision. Sure Ali was great, but he was not Dennis. The proof is in there for the world to see.

Welcome to the board BassSinger! I, too feel that Dennis had a great impact of The Temptations. Had it not been for Dennis, the group may not have had the lasting success which makes them legends.

I have followed the tempts for over 30 years. I have seen different lead singers and each has a different style.However,Dennis is my favorite.He knows how to carry a show.I wish i had an answer to why things went the way that they did but the good lord is still blessing Dennis and he is going to continue to have a good carreer doing what he does best.A lot of tempts are not getting their due but the real tempts fans remember what part they played in the tempts legacy.Motown and Otis can not take that away. So Dennis keep doing what you are doing and keep putting your trust in God like your mother said, do!

(((Walter Peanut J.))))) Thank you! THANK YOU! I concur with you. There is a higher power working with Dennis. When I saw him perform (this is after many years not seeing him) again for the first time as I previously stated in many years, Dennis made you PROUD. Fa REAL THO! He was professional to a MAX! He carried that show and he carried the TEMPTATIONS LEGACY the way it should be carrried for a group of that magnitude (Ruffin's worD smile ... Dennis pays major homage to his Temptation Brothers, specifically the deceased ones. Dennis stated at that show (and when he did this, he becomes visibly emotional, tears in his eyes, voice cracked a little): Looking towards the sky/heavens...."I think about my Temptation Brothers that are no longer with us -- David, Paul, Melvin and Eddie and I think about how God spared me, and took them, so I know that HE is not through with me yet"...You are right Baby. It is a higher power dealing with Dennis. Because *to me* when he made that statement, it just meant that at one time, he was just as notorious as David and Eddie (specially), yet he is still here, God spared him. Peace and Blessings to you...
