Board....
We all heard the stories about the name change (David Ruffin and The Temptations).. Can you please tell where did it originate from... fans, music critics, emcees??
Seems to me David loves being around his brothers (Eddie and Paul) he did not care one way or another until the Supremes name change.
Yesterday, I was listening to "The Temptation Live" CD the emcee introduced the lineup: David Ruffin lead singer brother of Jimmy Ruffin.... My questions: if the tempts brothers had a problem with emcee making that statement, why they did not say something at the show?? Also the executives from Motown were also in attendance why they never say anything about the statement?
Finally, if David's voice were selling the records why not the name changes? Everyone knows David was the reason why the fans came to the concert.
Of all the members in the group, who was opposed of the Name Change please don't tell me O and Melvin.. They did not earned a vote card...
Singing Old Man River is not enough to get a vote card...
Who gets a vote card Eddie and Paul.
Not like the four other tempts, David earned his wings to become a Tempt. He show the world he had talent and that alone should be enough to change the name.

Hello QNDF I always got the impression from David that it was Otis who objected to the name change. ;D

At first ... the group OBJECTED to having DR join .. They thought he was using them to boost his solo carrear .. so yeah he earned his right to the name change ... And in my opinion ... Blue DID deserve a vote card ... He did more then just OLD MAN RIVER that just happens to be only song he sung lead on .. Like I have said before ... Blue was more the glue for the group then O will ever be ... Ever ... So yeah ;D
