What made/makes the Tempts soooo special???

I don't pretend or claim to be a music expert.
I can't carry a tune.

However.....I still will jump right in and share my own (untrained) opinion


I have always felt it was the combo of 5 great voices...
and the range of their voices....

the rich deep bass of Melvin Franklyn
the clear high falsetto of (*young) Eddie Kendrick/s
the unique passion of David's tenor
the blending of the five voices

The Temptations were able to rotate "leads", share leads, and in some songs have
all of them trade off singing lines

There weren't any other groups who could do this , and none have done it since them
