Board,,
I was perusing thru the pages of Temptations Otis's Memoir and I stumble onto the picture section. You know the great FAB Five in their glory days...David, Eddie, Paul, Melvin, and O doing their thing.
Okay,
Here is an unnamed picture yes you heard me right 5 people but the names are missing. Please let me set up the scene:
Four tempts in white suites and one lady in a dark dress. David and Eddie are showing puerile white teeth looking at the something on the table. Paul looks like he is looking for something. And Mr. Melvin looks like he wants to get the hell out of Dodge. The lady is breaking it down to Melvin something he has done {I think}.
Enough of that..
The only reason I am commenting on the pictures because Otis made it fair game Every picture has back history of that picture but this seems to be over look..
My question is: who are the people in the picture?? Please don’t tell me the lady is Otis if it is I am going to holler.
Please be kind to me I am DER's #1 fan..

Hi Queen: Don't be surprised if the woman turns out to be Otis. He came to a party once here on the board and left wearing pumps and a wig. I have witnesses to that. Really. Cross my heart.

Now to the people in the picture.. Please, Please don't tell me that is Otis... I am going to laugh all day long at work...Let me look at this picture again.. Naw, Andy that is not Otis.. she is someone Melvin knows because he looks like hurt puppy dog...
DF, if you know the lady you are the coolest tempt on earth.

I have no idea who the lady is maybe she works with motown, but it looks like she is talking to Mr. Otis.

The lady in the pic is BG's eldest sister, Esther Gordy Edwards. She is still alive & kicking.
