@@PJ-777 How about the O'Jays, Delphonics, Teddy Pendergrass, Patti Labelle,Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes? Hopefully you are joking, LOL. If you don't know them, check it out! ❤️
My Absolute Favourite Song By Dennis Edwards was Don't Look Any Further, had his album on cassette when i was a kid. used to listen to him, loose ends, shalamar, Imagination. It was Kool back in the day. we was broke, but it was awesome.
My daughter and her father danced to "My Girl" at her "Wedding Reception." I'm sure alot of girls did, but it was so LOVELY!!!! A Memory that will remain with her for the remainder of her life. So I will ALWAYS be grateful to "THE TEMPTATIONS" for that song!!!! Thanks Lamont. AS ALWAYS, YOU DID GOOD KID!!!!
My sister was offered to sing back up with the temptations back in the 90's. She said they were awesome human beings. RIP to all the Temptations group.
Dennis Edwards turned out to be my favorite… his voice was so mesmerizing and he was so beautifully handsome. Also, I didn’t know he was a military veteran. I love the song.. “don’t look any further”❤ RIP Dennis.. definitely not forgotten. ❤
"Papa was a rolling stone" had all us kids singing it when it came out, 93khj in LA played all the great Motown hits, it was a great time to be a kid, still love all those classics.
I was still watching! What did you want to say? Loved the Temptations! They all sang so well together that there is really no way to say who was best! In my opinion! thank you for sharing this Lamont!
Don't forget "Standing On The Top," a song the Temptations did with Rick James with Dennis Edwards, David Ruffin, and Eddie Kendricks singing lead. Great commentary, by the way.
I worked at an entertainment venue outside of Philadelphia from 1979-1990 where The Tops and The Temptations performed together every year. Amazing show and one of my favs!!!
Thank you Dennis for your life of giving beautiful music and thank you Lamont for telling about his interesting life. I miss the old days and its amazing music
Temptations, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Cass Elliot...artists made real music back then. Great coverage of Mr Edwards' life and career, Lamont.
As an ex British Army veteran I was interested how many military graves were in that cemetery. I've only ever been to Arlington once whilst visiting the U.S. back in 2002 and I was lost for words. I research WW1 graves in the U.K. and was wondering if those graves were a mixture of WW1,WW2 and other conflicts? It was quite amazing to see them all looking so clean and tended as the M.O.D. here in the U.K. seem to forget alot of the military graves. Sleep well brothers, see you all in that giant mess hall in the sky!! 🙏 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
@Spartacus45 As a native Chicagoan, my dad fought in WWII & received the Purple Heart. On behalf of my father & my family, we honor our loyal allies thank you for your service.🇬🇧🇺🇸
I clicked on this one INSTANTLY! I love me some Dennis Edwards! He was a BEAST on that 🎤. I’m sure it woulda been hard for anyone to fill David Ruffin’s shoes but Dennis held his own!!! The best replacement was him. Don’t Look Any Further is STILL my mf’n song! My wife & I sing it to each other, duet style lol. It birthed one of the illest diss songs too. What a loss. So sad how his wife did him. They coulda gave this legend a better grave too. BFFR! RIP Dennis Edwards 🕊️🖤✨
Love this story about Dennis Edwards & The Temptations Lamont 😎🙌 definitely Motown royalty right there , “papa was a Rollin’ stone ( Jazzy Jeff mix ) is my Ringtone , thanks fella 🙌😎
In many ways, Paul Williams was the Temptations' unsung hero. He and Eddie Kendricks were their original lead singers, but when the Motown group broke worldwide and became soul heroes with “My Girl” in 1964, it was David Ruffin's voice that rang out.
Not true. The group had their first R&B hit with “Dream Come True” in 1962 with Eddie Kendricks singing lead, and Elbridge Bryant,Otis Williams, Paul Williams,and Melvin Franklin singing background. It peaked at #22 on the R&B chart. Even when David came in and replaced Elbridge, he was still in the background while Eddie sang on the first four hits they had in a row: “The Way You Do The Things You Do”, “I’ll Be In Trouble”, “The Girl’s Alright With Me”, and “Girl,(Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)”.
💐🙋🏾♀️💐Fate threw my best friend and me an enormous favor to see Dennis Edwards rehearsing with his Temptations Review more than 8 tears before he died. He was actually rehearsing for a debutante's private birthday party. We both remarked that he was on point rehearsing "Papa Was a Rolling Stone." We looked at him and then at each other to verify that we were seeing and hearing Dennis Edwards! To this day, we remember Mr. Edwards' voice sounded precisely like it came from the vinyl LP recorded decades before.🏆🎉❤🎉
Hello LAMONT I'm watching you from Tucson Arizona I was raised with Motown music back in the 60 s so I loved the temptations! Thank you for sharing this story with us all out here. Dennis is singing in heavens realm now and I can't imagine how beautiful heaven is. But thank you and stay safe out there wherever you go. God bless
From 1 entertainer 2 another. I had the pleasure of meeting Dennis several times , He was very classy & very talented individual. Appreciate what the group presented to the world. True Icon . Thanx 4 the story. God's blessings to all. 🙏👍
Great one Lamont. I used to listen to The Temptations off my dad’s old record player as a kid. They were amazing. I’ll have to go back and listen to their stuff. RIP Dennis. ❤🙏🏼
Love the way you take us back in time to explain everything happened back then, as the old saying goes you learn something new everyday. Thank you Lamont, see you on the next one.
Thank you for sharing Lamont, The Tempations was my favorite group I have their greatest hits cd. Hope you have an amazing Labor Day and safe travels.😎👍🙏
My parents are buried here in Jefferson Barracks Cemetery. I just buried my mom in June, 2021 and my step mom in June, 2022. They died exactly a year apart from each other. My dad and stepdad passed away in 2014, 5 1/2 months apart. My dad and stepdad were in the military when they were younger.
Thanks again. I didn't know he had passed. The biggest song that made a impression on me from the Temptations was Run away child. I think may have been about 10yrs old.
YES LaMont: i grew up with the infamous TEMPTATIONS! Had, every album.. Music like that will never be made again, but shall "ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED."👋👋👍💯
I was very lucky to see Aretha Franklin and Edwards on-stage singing together back in 2011 during the re-opening ceremony of Peabody Opera House (now Stifel Theatre) in downtown St. Louis. Chuck Berry also jumped on-stage and took a bow but did not perform.
He was the seventh Temptations member overall, and replaced David Ruffin on June 28th,1968 just one day after Ruffin was fired. Dennis was in the group from 1968-1977; 1980-1984; 1987-1989. Founding members Otis Williams and Eddie Kendricks also observed him when he sang months before they fired David. The group had far more success with him than they had with David becoming the first Motown group to win a Grammy. (They won three out of their four Grammys with him.) May he continue to rest in eternal peace. (February 3rd,1943- February 1st,2018)
After Vietnam 70-71 I resumed my career as a professional drummer I had the honor of backing up the temptations at the jazz festival in Cincinnati in 79. He was a god givin sweetheart to talk to . He was exhausted and had two weeks off and then they were leaving for Europe . What a thrill. Rip Dennis Edward's .
I've always liked the music from the Temptations. I actually like a lot of the older style music. I grew up listening to Motown music, during the late 70's & all of the 80's. After I had my daughter in 1992 I played that older style music when she was growing up and she likes this music too. The tradition continues, both of my grandsons like this music as well.😅😂 Glad you did this video Lamont. You stay safe out there on all your journeys.🙂💟
Wow! I didn't know that he sang with the Mighty Clouds of Joy. That Gospel group is still singing today. Mr. Joe Ligon, passed away a couple of years back. Great information about Mr. Dennis.
I used to stand on my daddy's feet dancing to "My Girl"...and "Do you love me"...plus many More...right down to "Poor side of town" By Johnny Rivers..I enjoy the way you tell a story Lamont, Thank you for sharing...
Love the Temptations! ❤ They had the dance moves and dressed so classy. Not that they needed the dancing or the clothes. TY Lamont for sharing this information on Dennis. My daughter and SIL gave out cd’s with their favorite music at their wedding in 2009. “My Girl” was one of those songs.
You should do a video on Rodger Penzabene sometime. He was a young writer for Motown records who wrote "Wish it would rain" but committed suicide before the song was ever released. Theres not a lot out there on him and he seems to have been largely forgotten.
I was so blessed to come from an era where I was able to see some of these great artists. I miss those times.
I grew up with Motown and the Sound of Philadelphia. 🤦♀️ I miss great music! RIP Dennis. 🙏❤️
The sound of Philadelphia never heard of it
Love Motown and I’m just 54 years old

Motown brought us some awesome music. Have a blessed labor day Lamont.
One of my favorite groups now this group and those other groups during that time were talented , they made great music and they kept their clothes on.
You're a great story teller Lamont. RIP to Dennis
Yes I agree Lamont does great at telling the stories, temptations sung the year I was born 1966
Yeah he's a very great story teller!!!!!!! Lol
🎶 Don't look any further 🎶

He was the seventh
Temptations member overall,
and replaced David Ruffin on
June 28th,1968 just one day
after Ruffin was fired.
Dennis was in the group from

1980-1984;
1987-1989.
