If they are still going they can only be tribute band IMO


Here's a Temptations with Paul Williams as lead singer (good old utube)

Re: Your Favorite Lead Singer Of The Temptations?

You are so right about the Drifters and all those lead singers..they had almost as many as the Temptations.

I don't know how accurate it is but it makes interesting reading.

It certainly does mate. I copied this little bit from it:
"Ownership of the Drifters name continues with the Treadwell family in the form of George Treadwell's daughter, Tina, and the UK-based company Prism Music Group Ltd. The line-up features Michael Williams, Pierre Herelle, Ryan King and Carlton Powell".
That must take one hell of a lawyer to sort out those legal formalities!

Re: Your Favorite Lead Singer Of The Temptations?

We seem to be in murky waters with band name ownership.Someone has stolen the Bonzos name and they need a lot of money to fight it.(I read somewhere)
