Let's talk about Dennis Edwards

One of the most amazing things about the Temptations is that they were able to lose
the distinctive,fantastic, and yes, hit making, voice of David Ruffin and then find
a replacement that would be able to stand on his own and lead them to more great
hits and awards.

Dennis Edwards was the lead singer for the Contours, and he brought a rougher
high energy sound the group...at this time the Producing and writing was handled by Norman Whitfield who put Dennis's voice to good use.

With Dennis the Tempts moved with the "times", and were able to change their "sound" to fit the current trends! "Cloud Nine", "Psychelic Shack", "Can't Get Next to You"
and of course "Papa was a Rolling Stone" !

Dennis was on and off again with the Tempts and at one point he toured with Eddie and David Ruffin...wow!
Here is a young Dennis on "Can't Get Next to You"

Dennis went solo for awhile, and his "Don't Look Any Further" was a hit, also has been sampled by soooo many rap and hip hop artists
The talented Siedah Garrett also sang back up for Michael Jackson,
she never really had a solo hit however, really a shame

and yeah...ahem.....
I am NOT going to comment on why Dennis is moving his mouth like that LOL
