No matter what we all may think about Otis's singing and lack of hits, all of us know that Otis was one of the best dancers in the classic lineup. We should show him some repect. Let us all be serious for once. Without his dancing skills, the Temps would never have made it. He was the one that all the others looked to for leadership. He was the one that set the standard for style and grace. He was the one that made sure everyone practiced and practiced until he got every step exactly right. So, I say Otis should get all the respect he deserves, and we should start tonight. No more jokes, no kidding around. I think Otis deserves to be recognized as a trouper without a peer.

I agree totally, Andy. I mean, afterall, would The Tempts had been as successful without O crackin the whip. That guy must have endurance like a mofo. Hell, he's been at it 40+ years and still going strong! ;D My hat's off to you Otis!  |

The Holy O's arse should be happy that anyone even REMEMBERS the fact that he's a Temptation!  Granted, there are times that O has been in the right as it pertains to the constant rotation of members but he brought this on himself because if anyone had more to lose in this group, it was him. He should consider himself lucky that he had the opportunity to be in the presence of such talented men. Now that's my story and I'm stickin to it! ;D  |

Sorry, Otis was by far, the best dancer in the group, especially when the camera was on him. He never missed a step, and I can prove just how great he was and still is today.

Molly, I'm surprised at you. Out of all the people here you should be the one backing me up on this. Otis was in a class all by himself. No doubt about it! No one even came close!

I think Otis persevered so in keeping the group together for as long as he has is the fact that he can't do anything else. He is just like the men who he doesn't want to use The Tempts name. Otis spent the greater part of his life aspiring to be a 'singer.' Otis 'enjoys being a Temptation' just as much as any of the others. Hell, we can't expect the man to go work at the post office after being in the GREATEST group ever. I think it's every man's wish to work somewhere enjoys. Otis has been a very lucky and blessed man. Evidently, he was in the right place at the right time. For a singer of his talent...he is immensley blessed...given the fact that he is still here and is healthy enuff to do what he loves. I wonder if he realizes just how blessed he is? There are many that can sing and dance him under the table, but aren't fortunate enuff to have the career he has...for whatever reason. Otis..you are a blessed man! |
