"The Dude."

My uncle Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson played the rhythm guitar in this and many classic records!!! He influenced so many with this one song!!! God bless you Unc and I still hear you on The radio! Job well done!!!!!!! RIP! B

a humble and unsung legend. his humility and lack of ego are what makes him so endearing.

Mr. Dennis Edwards... Thank, YOU, LORD, for the flavor in this brother's voice.

Forever a Legend. Much Love for you Mr. Edwards :)

Classic shit Norman did his thing still inspiring producers like myself

AND THE CRAZY THING , IS THAT SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT THE GROUP HAD SEEN IT'S BEST DAYS BECAUSE SMOKEY WAS NO LONGER INVOLVED. THOSE PEOPLE WERE WRONG. WHITFIELD CHANGED THE SOUND, BUT THE GUYS NEVER SOUNDED BETTER.

Dennis is my boy but they were Better whit David

The first song that the Temptations shared multi leads on was a unreleased track they recorded in 1967 called I'll Be Satisfied! As you listen to the song, Paul Williams sings the first verse then Eddie Kendricks and finally David Ruffin! I'll Be Satisfied was the forerunner for Cloud Nine!

Dennis voice was fresh and in top notch in in 1972 he was great voice and musical he played the organ/piano. DPitts

My favorite Lead singer for the Temptations

It's interesting to hear Dennis Edwards talk about the conflict and tension over Papa Was A Rolling Stone, especially considering how it was characterized in the movie I have also heard Dennis say that he was mad about how long the intro was and how long he had to wait to sing.....so by the time he finally came in he was simmering, which explained his lowered, tempered tone at the beginning. Regardless, it is a remarkable song.

That magical voice Dennis Edward’s

Cool. When he sings the beginning of the song, "Papa was a Rolling Stone", yeah, he sounds so good! Ruffin was great and so was Dennis.

Norman Whitfield won Motown its FIRST Grammy and help to put Motown on the map. being there TOP Music Composer, Arranger, and Producer.

Dennis made his great move with the Temptations 2 years after I had moved away from Detroit in 1970. He was just great and personal while at Maules Lounge and living on Graitot St. my my 😀DPitts🤙🏾

RIP

Mine too. You ain't never wrong

I've always been curios of the accuracy and inaccuracy of the movie. Thank you Dennis for clearing that part of the story up. I've also seen mixed accounts of the part where David Ruffin would show up and steal the mic from Dennis and sing his songs. This actually happened a few times and I've read that Dennis would be the one to invite him up on stage with them as opposed to David doing it uninvited, stealing the spotlight. I'd like to hear Dennis' version of that part of the story.

We, love you Dennis

Dennis thought process was always on point when speaking all of that gift and talent is gone 😩😩 DPitts

"David didnt like the fact that he got replaced,even though he wanted to go solo,strange huh,lol." It's not so strange for an egomaniac like David. Egotists like to reject, not be rejected.

I guess it's just wasn't the norm when the classic five Temptations were together because they did a number of songs where they switched off leads: Farewell My Love, You're My Everything and the unreleased We'll Be Satisfied on their Lost and Found album. As Dennis said though it was revolutionary that each member would take "one line" then the next guy the next and the next guy the next after that instead of one guy singing a whole stanza before the next singer came in.

The Tempts nor Sly was the first to do multiple leads, Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions did multiple leads.

Yes you are correct; to name a few: You're My Everything; Born to Love You; A Taste of Honey; and before David joined the group, Paul and Eddie shared leads on a couple of songs. Finally, check out the "Meet the Temptations" Album.

I learned to swim @ Norms!!!

this is about what we feel like its about,grow up

I learned something today...

dennis was always the best soul singer in the tempts. blew levi stubbs away during the motown celebration in the `80`s. heard ball of confusion with another lead singer on the wire but it wasn`t the same.

actually it was The Tempts,even though they actually did it before Sly,but once Sly did it,The Tempts switched to pretty much a multi-lead concept for lots of songs. I'm curious to know which songs the Impressions sang multi-leads on?
