I agree with everyone that said they would replace O..LOL! I don't think Dennis would have fit well with the C5 though. C5 were ballad singers, Dennis "Cloud 9" stlye of singing would have not fit during that era IMO. But he was great when their (Temptations) style changed. However ANYBODY could have replaced O. LOL! But even O says No line up (and there have been many) could come close to the C5..I have to agree with him on that! But visually The C5 Tempts were the "best" looking group in Detroit. When they took the stage all 5 of them were sharp! Now O's dancing well that's a whole different convo...lol! But the other 4 looked good and moved good! I respect your opinion Molly but I'll have to disagree to an extent. Let's not sleep on Dennis now. I heard him sing on the "Live at the Copa" and I think he did a great job with the songs that he sang on there. Plus I think that he would be fine with the C5 simply because O never sang on anything. He just danced. And I think that we'd all agree that if Dennis only did what O did as a member of the C5, that he would've done a much better job. I'm also sure that as creative as Smokey and Norman were, they would've been able to come up with something for Dennis just as they did with the others, that would've been a fit. Just my opinion. Welcome Ceaz  I agree Dennis was and is very talented,but when he joined The Tempts he mostly did Ruffin's leads. He was much too talented to be a back up singer which IMo is what O was. I remember the first show I saw with Dennis in the line up,he did a great job,but most people left the concert still missing Ruffin. Now when they started writing songs for Dennis voice he shined! But the Tempt's music also changed. LMAO@Queenie. Dennis sure didn't make waves like Ruffin and Eddie. LOL! O had the control he wanted once Ruffin and Eddie left. LOL!LOL! O had a lot of damn nerve "trying" to be the head of the group,when the truth is Ruffin,Eddie,Paul and Dennis contributed more to the Tempts success than O! |

I would replace Otis with Jackie Wilson. "Mr.Excitement"! I think he and Ruffin would have tried to out perform each other. LOL! Both were great showmen. All you needed to replace O was a warm body. Like Ceaz said he didn't sing. And as we all know, he really couldn't dance that well! |

Let's put out the lights and close the door... the jury is still out on Dennis... Mr. Get alone with every freakin body... man doesn't have a backbone... before I knew the characters in the group, I thought Dennis was the bag boy.. Everything O said he just went along with the decision..or was that Minnie Me? both gets on my last nerve IMO! Diz iz da onliest thang yu sed in 4 yeers dat maid cents! |

Replace Otis with El Bryant(just keep him away from Paul. lol) or Jimmy Ruffin. He sounded pretty good singing with the group on 'Born To Love You'.
