Hol up, The 5 Heartbeats was just a made up group? (Ft. General Mills story)

[ADK]

I thought that shyt was a biopic like The Temptations. Turns out it was just a made up movie

I used to think the dude who played David Ruffin in The Temptations was the GOAT for being in both movies

I thought that it was BASED on an actual group. Not really a biopic but inspired by actual people.

Eddie king seem loosely based on Dave Ruffin.

[General Mills]

I always heard it was based on The Dells.

Me and my brother almost came to blows over this movie.

I flew home to visit my folks and fam during the holidays one year. My brother threw a house party. After the party and everyone left me and my brother were in his kitchen doing shots of grey goose shootin the shyt.

We got on the topic of the Temptations movie. I said...

Me - its crazy how Leon played in both flicks right?

Brother - both flicks? the Above The Rim nikka?? naw he was only in 5 Heartbeats

Me - i thought you knew movies. He was in both...LITTLE BROTHER


Brother - No. HE WAS ONLY IN 5 HEARTBEATS.....nikka

Me - motherfukker... you heard what i said..


My lil bro stepped to me and we started wrestling in the kitchen drunk as fukk.


His wife breaks it up and we are still yelling and arguing. I get the bright idea to call our parents and ask them. in our drunken state it did not occur to us to use Google.


Called moms and pops at 4am slurring our words and yelling over each other trying to ask the question.


My mom was like WTF and hung up on us.


The next morning she called and cussed me out like i had never been cussed out before. For waking her up

It was based on The Dells, but I don't think it's an exact recreation of their story. I could be wrong but I'm pretty positive they were the main inspiration.
