Board, How did you find out EJK left the group?? media? friends? Damon Harris singing EJK LEADS here say?? EJK told you? I don't remember exactly. The only media back then where I'm from was Ebony, Jet etc. and local a.m. radio. I probably heard it through the grapevine in the neighborhood. I just remember when Just My Imagination came out I remember listening to that song and saying dang he's gone. As a young girl I was pretty hurt. I didn't want him to leave the group because he was so good with it and they were so good with him. In my mind the Temptations were falling apart.

what was your reaction hearing EJK leaving the group? They said Eddie left to persue a solo career. I was excited,because I knew he could make it.

Queen you're too funny. I idolized all of the Tempts as did everybody back in the day. They were like somebody in your family, including Otis. My love affair with with Mr. Sweetness came from listening to his solo work. I was blessed to see him perform in his solo days back in 1976-77. But I was too young and immature to truly understand what the man was puttin down, LOL! Not like I understand it now LOL! It was an odd path I took to find Eddie and even though he's gone there's no turning back. I'm hooked. LOL! I just took for granted that he'd always be around somewhere singing.
