Otis beat everybody to the punch with his book. People were puzzled back in the day when his book came out. The thinking was like yours,why Otis? Fans wanted to hear friom Ruff and Eddie then. His book did better the second time around. Dang Reggie, your generation is not the only one perplexed about the book. Just think about how we feel and the questions we asked a darn back ground singer, more power than the person who own the company. Who in hell would have thought Otis writing about the group origins. In my opinion, the reason why the book was a mild success because of the contexts of the characters. {Nobody is coming to see Otis},Ha, Ha, ha, I am sorry I had to throw that into the conversation, David, Eddie and Paul. Silly me, I thought Otis was going to write a well balanced book. Instead of the low down dirty crap, he wrote on the pages David's EGO. Eddie, BEHAVIOR and Paul's DRINKING PROBLEMS. If O wrote about his life as a tempt, the book will only contain three pages: born, background singer, and living in the shadow of David PERIOD!!!

Okay I can't hold this in much longer ... I (as in Davidfan, me, myself) decided to take it upon myself to write a book ... I am about 70 pages in (Introduction and first chapter) Book is called "THE TEMPTATIONS STORY: FROM A FANS EYES" ... I have asked bees for persmission to use posts on this board, But after bees I need permission to use YOUR posts ... all of you, If their is anyone who objects to their words being printed (I myself am gonna itroduce it online, Publishment might be tougher but I'll get there) I will leave your posts out, Like I told Bees, No names will be used unless people say otherwise. But before I continue to tell about this, I have to wait for the response from the Queen Bee, If you'll pardon the pun ;D

Let us know about your book DF. Is it going to be a book of tributes and recollections from fans? DF Genna emailed me saying she was writting a book about Ruffin titled "Good Stuff". She wanted the help of people that knew Ruffin. I didn't know she was writing one about The Tempts.

Molly she wants to know positive stories from friends and fans. That's what I thought Joy. Wonder why she needs help writing this book? Maybe she doesn't remember any "Good Stuff". So she is going to write other peoples memories and sell them. Lawd!!!

I hope she is not taking stories from any boards Drex, The only way Genna will be able to get her book in the media is to solicitate from fans. And where are DER fans at on the message boards professing their undying love for him. I don't see any other way.
