+713skywalker, It's a shame that you all claim that Otis could not (cannot) sing.........The success of a group is as good/bad as the worse singer. Which proves that all the Temps had good voices and could sing. Just because he fired David did not take anything away from his voice. I love David Ruffin, BUT he allowed his success as the lead singer to get to his head. David joined the group after it was already formed. He replaced a member who walked away from the group, out of frusration, of not getting a hit song from Motown. And he should not have tried to hold the group hostage to change it's name to David Ruffin and The Temptation......It's his ego and his drugs addiction that led to his downfall. With all of your rave about David's great voice, he had only two hits over a ten year period.........WITH ALL THAT BEAUTIFUL VOICE OF HIS......He did not achieve the success he wanted or thought he could have had as a solo artist, so get off Otis' back

Ruffin, Eddie, and Paul, 3/5th's of the classic Temptations were gone by this time. This was the first major recast of the group from the Golden Age of Motown, which set the bar for black male vocal groups. While they were commercially successful, the true essence of the Temptations, what they did with the original five, in the time they did it will never be duplicated. Of course, subsequent iterations of the group with only Otis as the sole survivor, are little more than an Oldies act, riding the crest of the hit wave that was David, Eddie, Paul, Melvin, and of course Otis...THE Temptations! 👑🎸🎵
