Early on, Soul Train stood out for encouraging artists to play live renditions of their hits; Barry White’s 1975 appearance halted this practice, however. To accommodate his Love Unlimited Orchestra, the entire Soul Train set had to be altered to fit all 40 musicians. After that, certain artists such as Luther Vandross may have elected to sing to a prerecorded backing track, but most mimed their performances.

The Temptations did 2 albums at Atlantic Records Here to Tempt you and Bare Back which some did not like those albums because some people only listen to the hit song on those albums which was In A Lifetime Ever Ready Love and Bare Back I liked both albums cause they were the Tempin Temptations!!!!!!!!!!

So sweet temps

"I'm On Fire (Body Song)" I was able to watch them perform the song on a Dinah Shore daytime show back in 1977. Therefore, a visual performance is out there. Unfortunately, no Gordy 45 was released. I blame unwilling executives at Motown for such a tragedy of neglect. Yes, I still consider that and several other songs of that album to be 45 rpm worthy!

Eddie was horse due to rehearsals for the reunion and tour in 1982. This was confirmed in an interview with Leonard. Indeed he could no longer hit the high notes as in his earlier days before lung cancer. But he still had that heavenly tenor and a low-falsetto. Don`t believe me, listen to the album he made with David Ruffin five years later in 1987. No way he lost his voice in 1982 and got it back in 1987.

I really enjoyed Eddie at 1:03 singing Just My Imagination! Class Act!

This is actually the first Temptations song that I learned all the words to. Bare Back is the first Temptations album I bought the day it was released. 43 years ago... 7th grade.

I ever heard him before he actually is better than some of the other the other one's.

Dennis once said what set Eddie apart was he would put those little Curly Q's at the end of his notes. Damon didn't necessarily do that but in my eyes he was still a great tenor and the closest to Eddie "I've" never heard. If you listen to *_Too Busy Thinking About My Baby_* and *_I've Been Good to You_* when he was with *_The Young Vandals_* he sounds "almost" exactly like Eddie. You can tell he doesn't necessarily do (not that he couldn't) the curly q's though but I loved both of Damon's renditions. I first saw Damon at the Michigan State Fair on Woodward Avenue around 1971. The thing I remember was that Dennis was beaming. Seems he was constantly pointing at or saying something good about Damon. I also recall one of my classmates saying he like Damon but was acting a little too much like Eddie. Had the part in his hair and moving just like, well almost, like Eddie. And let me tell, you Dennis was beaming. He was constantly either pointing at Damon or saying how good he "is." I m o Damon should have been on the reunion tour. It is said that # 7 is a sign of completeness. They would have been completed with Damon for that moment. Unfortunately Louis Price wasn't there either because, I believe, during his time with The Temps they really didn't have any hits.

Eddie wasn’t well at that time. He could not hit his high notes. That was the beginning of his battle with his illness.

Just listen to the acapella version of I'm Gonna Make You love Me, which you can easily find on KZread, and then come back and tell me that all the singers that replaced Eddie Kendricks, were better than him? I rest my case

Putting this up. He was bad and that's good. Clean Leonard. They don't want the slowest stuff. You can tell why you got that false soft and strong

Come on now, Glenn without a doubt is an extremely nice person. As a fellsetto he's dead last. When it comes to being a Tempt. His shrill sounding falsetto is , let just say hard to listen to. Especially on Ever Ready Love.Its the king of Falsettos Eddie kendrick, Mr. Longevity, Ron Tyson, The Clone, Damon Harris then others. Eddie Kendrick in all honesty is a hell of a pair of shoes to fill.Its not that Glenn didn't have some good cuts to showcase his skills or lack of skills.
