Board --
Did anyone get to see the Tempts (Paul, Eddie, Al, O, and Melvin) performed?
Did Al lead on any of the Tempt songs? Was his position a background singer? How was his stage presence like O or Paul?

From what I know ((Queen)) Al didn't have any leads so I guess you could say he was a backline Temp like O. Not sure about their early performances with him though

Okay! QNew!!! I never saw the Tempts perfom with Al as the lead. When I was first aware of the Tempts. It was Paul and Eddie up front.

I never saw Al either. I remember he was part of the Temptations when they recorded as The Pirates...I think some of those recordings were made in Chicago on Chess label...gotta do some research.

Mrs. Molly was it 4 members instead of the 5.. Also how long did the tempts stay at 4 members?? There was always 5 Tempts. Ruffin took Al's spot. Al got fired for attacking Paul. In comes Ruffin! The rest is history.
