The Original Temptations

I'm talking about the Temps of[Elbridge Bryant]although he didn't sing lead,they made some good early tunes-Dream Come True-Paradise-I Want A Love I can See-Mind Over Matter-My I Have This Dance-Tearstained Letter,Al as he was known was only there for three years[60-63]but his contributions should not be forgotten,of course he was replaced by[David Ruffin]and the hits rolled in and they became the[Classic Temptations]but a shout out to a founding member.

Re: The Original Temptations

Always reckoned they were one of THE best Soul Motown bands of all time.
Never really looked into their member changes.,.

Just had a glimpse on Wiki and other places on the web. Its reckoned Bryant was pretty volatile especially after glassing Williams across the face and towards other group members that caused the split.
Its good to see it all worked out in the end giving us some great tunes.
