Board,
Why was Melvin selected to introduce tempt members at concert venues, and television engagements? The fans were familiar with Melvin’s voice he was instrumental in “Get Ready” and Old Man River so what gives?
Also back in tempts heydays did David or Eddie announced tempt members at road shows?
In my opinion,
I think the post should have gone to Otis because his voice was not familiar to the audience. Therefore, he had plenty of time sharpen his vocal skills and announce to American “Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen we are Tempts”.

Hello Queen: I have to disagree with you about Otis talking during the shows. His voice was far too weak, and he was too scared of the audience to carry it off. Heck, remember that Otis was reduced to poop when they had their first appearance on Ed Sullivan? It took David to get that man's head straight by telling him it was just another show.

Thanks Andy for your comments!! I was trying to give 'puppy' position in the group. He is always going around the country telling everyone he is the founder heck "PROVE IT"!

QNDF Andy is right. Otis couldn't have pulled the introductions off. Stuttering,stumbling over words. Plus he would have been sweating and looking even more greazy then he usually did, ;D ;D

Plus he would have been sweating and looking even more greazy then he usually did, ;D ;D Hi DER: THanks for your comments. Otis could never sing alone, and he could not talk alone. He was simply not memorable. The funny thing is that my opinion is not just me talking b/c I don't like Otis. You can bet that when they had to decide who would introduce the members to the audiance, they had Otis reherse and compete for the job. He did not get it. What does that say about his talent? The man can't sing or talk with any distinction.

I was watching 227 yesterday, and the Temptations was on this episode. It was Melvin, Otis, Ali and I can't think of the other two (so many members). Anyway they were hit by a car, and came up to Mary house to make a call or something. Mr. Otis didn't say much, and he looked like he was uncomfortable, and very shy. When they were singing in the apartment, you could barely hear Mr. Otis-- I really believe now that he can't sang, and he knows it. LOL

Oh my lawdy,, you are mean.. what have I ever did to you Joy for you to treat me this way., I was the one who encouraged you to hold on to the 5.00 mink coat, the 1.99 plasic ring, and the .50 slippers it was ME. I also, told you in 50 years you can cash them in and become millionaire. You might have a problem with that because you will be 102 years old still keep hope alive.,
I told you don't have to listen no one because those are your memories and this is the thanks I get[/b] .
