Otis Williams the last original member of The Temptations Dies today at 64. Okay now what if this was true? What if this was one of the top stories today in the news? What would you say in remembrance of Mr. Otis?

I go away for a while and come back to find this. What would I say? Umm, ahh, hmmm...(silence). My momma always said if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. But that's how my mother felt...me I would have a huge partay and wait for O to come to me in my dream (nightmare) and tell me to write a book..LOL

Now that's deep. I would of course extend my codolences to his family. But it wouldn't change anything I feel about O and the shady things he has done.

Like you Mrs. Molly this is too deep.. Gurrrl what are you trying to do give us a heart attack.
When I read the thread, I was paralize not knowing what to say. Sure I said many times I can stand the fool but this was just a little too deep for me.
In that split second, I felt a numb knowing this man has cause so much pain to Ruffins, Kendricks, Williams' lives. I am not going to say I will shed a tear because that will be the joke of the day. However, I will shed a smile knowing this man can't hurt the families and most important the fans with that foolishness.

Some may think I'm cold by my statement above. I'm not and would feel for the family in their loss. However, I could not care one way or the other for Otis. Here is a person who has degraded every lead singer in some way, a lead singer who has carried his no talent, can't sing or dance, big butt.

What would you say in remembrance of Mr. Otis? In the end, it does not matter what any of us feel or say, it does not change anything...Otis will answer to the FATHER for his free will... Otis would be missed by many people. Some people could care less. None of us will be liked, loved or respected by all...To me, that is one of the saddest aspects of life.

Some people could care less. None of us will be liked, loved or respected by all...To me, that is one of the saddest aspects of life. Sun go to the Ruffin's Kendricks' and Williams' families and tell them don't worry O will get his!! What much of crap!! You know the story read news paper clippings about how this fool said he started it all. The men families have to live with the fact this fat o' buzzer destroy their father's memories. I am sick and tired of him, the media telling everyone the world David's drug problems hell drugs did not start with David doing drugs was already here. If you and the idiots feel so strong about Drugs write to government and tell officials we need more money in the Drug Programs. We all know some one has been caught up in drugs so DARN WHAT!! We love them anyway.. O has made his mission to tell the world about David's personal live. Let him talk about his personal stupid life oh I am sorry he does not have one. He is living inside of David's live. Sun how many times did O call David up said how are you doing??? Sun how many times did O tell David let me talk to Barry to see how he can help you?? We understand the man upstairs will take care of everything but we are downstairs so if we want say we will not missed him let us. We don't care if O has friends He can be friends with the saint of Easter Eve we will still hate the man. Your holly than thou attitude towards Genna and O kills me. And you know I can't stand them. If the man drops dead today, this sister will be tossing the stars. Once I am done, I will pray David, Eddie, and Paul beat the living heaven out of him. Joy, I enjoy the title I only wish it was true..

Joy, I enjoy the title I only wish it was true.. Queen, I was there darn it...I know what was done to David. I saw him hurt. I hurt with him. He was so happy when Warner Brother's came along.The bottom line is. No matter what you are anyone else says or does, it does not change anything. Bottom line, I am sure O could care less about what you think. He does have his life. You, I or anyone else has to get over it. Nothing we feel will make a hill of beans difference in the long run. That kind of hatred and venom only puts the naysayers on the level David tried to stay away from. David was a grown man, he took care of it the way he felt best. I don't have a holier than thou attitude regarding Genna or O. It does no good to rant and rave. In the end it does not change a thing...If it makes you feel better, go for it.If it makes you feel better to talk down your nose at me, go for it. David taught me many years ago to let that crap go...I did...O will have to answer in the end. I have one question though. Have you ever read any of David or Eddie's families talking the way you just did?

Have you ever read any of David or Eddie's families talking the way you just did? Yes, Sun it gives me great comfort to hate this man when he talks about David. And if you were there you would understand how I feel, you will be at the burial grounds digging up the dirt. If you are telling me David told you to turn the other cheek, one of us needs to check in La La Land. David was hurt about how this fool mistreated him when he could not spell the word success. Btw, if you have directed contact with the families, do please tell them I said hello. Naysayer, pardon me but I don't think you can put in that class. I said I can't stand the man base upon his characteristics. He lies cheat and steals something you should not get on your high horse defend. You mean to tell me you associated yourself who those kind of people. The ones who were willing to use him to get fame and fortune let me see Otis and Genna. Yes, O cares what people are saying about otherwise he will shut his month.. He cares the public knows the real truth that is why he put founder at the end of his name. Yes, the man cares believe me the fool cares. Also do you think I care what O thinks about me NO.. If I saw him in a ditch I walk all over him. Finally, what if someone spoke ill of you, you will argue them down call them some unfriendly words. I know because I read your posts. You and I will never see eye to eye on this subject. O, Genna and who ever you know who have profit from Ruffin’s families worst than the devil itself the only problem these people are not wearing red. And if you are asking yourself what will David think about what I am saying let me summarize my thoughts: Girl you are right on the money!!

Sunshine Queen, No, I am not defending any of the aforementioned. I just don't want to waste the time. In the end I will have accomplished nothing. O does not care, or he would try to rectify the wrongs. The family? I said you don't see David or Eddie's family talking this way. I know some of the family of both David and Eddie, Though I haven't spoken to Eddie's Mother and brother in a long time, but that is not what I meant by the statement. Yes, David believed in turn the other cheek to a degree. I have watched him hurt and stay day after day in his bedroom until he thought it thorough. In the end, he smiled and went on with life...If he could do it, why can't I? Enough said. Vengeance is mine, saith the LORD...Not my choice...

Otis Williams the last original member of The Temptations Dies today at 64. Okay now what if this was true? What if this was one of the top stories today in the news? What would you say in remembrance of Mr. Otis? I would ask if Otis died with his eyes wide open standing on his feet! One thing I can say about Otis is that he will not be spoken with such love and high esteem as Eddie, David, Paul and even Melvin years after his death let alone an hour after his death! With all of the things that Otis wrote about these men in his book, they are loved more today than ever before!! It is believable when Otis wrote his book, his intention was assasinating the characters of Paul, David and Eddie and to portray himself as the long-suffering group member who had to put up with these men's major character flaws, as well as hold the group together but instead, the book showed that he truly lacked any love or compassion for the greatest tenors of all times!! He will be remembered as the group member who used his "brothers" to get him out of the hood and treated them as co-workers, as well as being hand picked by Gordy to backstab and hurt his "brothers."
