Melvin voice is cool as hell..

[@carolynbratton7827]

Melvin would never allow anyone else to talk.

[@clubhead433]

Ron Tyson is a LEGEND himself! One of the contributors to the Philly Disco Sound. He wrote some of the biggest R&B Disco tunes that defined the underground R&B Disco scene on the east coast.

Fabulous performer Ron. What a voice.

[@MinisterStretch]

Very true

[@BarbaraJames-c7o]

Ron Tyson is certainly a great performer and singer. Keep doing your best Ron. May God bless you.

Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin was the original members of the group for many years. Then, it was Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams and finally, David Ruffin.

[@slendus8363]

so was Richard, except he left before they were called The Temptations

[@NathanAHogan]

And original member Elbridge "Al Bryant. Who was fired on New Years Eve 1963.

[@jaylene.turner6524]

The original Temptations were: Otis Williams, Elbridge Bryant, Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendricks, and Paul Williams. They started in 1960 as The Elgins. Since Paul’s death in 1973, Elbridge’s death in 1975, Eddie’s death in 1992, and Melvin’s death in 1995, Otis Williams is the last original surviving founding member of the group.

[@lifeofneacy3891]

@@jaylene.turner6524 yes before Paul Williams took his own life and Eddie before went solo

[@jaylene.turner6524]

@@NathanAHogan No,according to Otis, Elbridge was fired during a rehearsal a few weeks after his NYE fight with Paul Williams.

[@traceycook9665]

They sang good.

[@wilcoxpromise]

Where is Ali Ollie Woodson? He was part of the group then.

[@damienminorminor]

Good question. What's interesting is that a year later Dennis Edwards would come back to the group for a short sprint. To my understanding he was only there temporarily until Ali was ready to come back.

I loved David Ruffin, but he made it impossible for the rest of the guys.

🤣🤣 David Ruffin got so full of himself! Because of that, the Group "offed" him! 😆🤣😆

Very few statements could be farther from the truth. And, they are still coming to see Otis.
