I finally watched the Temptations movies from start to finish after just catching pieces for years, one of the better doc's on a group and has been watching over and over since. after reading up online about their issues a few things struck as funny when I fully analyzed the situation.....
Melvin Blue nothing can be said about him he was the most consistent one from start to finish, shame touring and being for the group ruined his latter life.........
Paul williams- The most important group member IMO he dominated the early records and snatched Otis's group. Shame a true investigation to his death never happened, given the facts his suicide looks suspect as hell.
Eddie Kendrick- The levelheaded on that didnt take sides, the true brother and friend that certain members needed. I dont blame him for walking out on the group
David Ruffin, he was David Ruffin, he had the voice, the style and the swag. I dont like after how they banished there brother me and time again, yeah he was missing shows and being a ass but that was that coke they should of understood that, Ruffin damn near was begging to be back in the group with the refuse to let you go(jumping on stage), aint too proud to beg go and the bevy of solo tracks My whole world ended the day you left me, yeah those were tracks but they were pleads to his brothers on what the group meant to him. Once again it was that Coke fukking with him. Reading up on things the movies left out Ruffins had a legit beef with Otis and Moton when he hired his own management and lawyers and they began to look into their books
Otis Williams was a Jealous bytchmade nikka hands down, first he kicks Otis out the Group, which is understandable, secondly he kicks Paul williams out after Paul Williams basically told him he'd die without the group, a Paul Williams that gave the Tempts their style n swag, plus Paul was the one sang for Gordy. Then he kicks out Dennis Edwards who he replaced Ruffins with, on some power trip shyt. Once that white boy got in his ear it was all a wrap for everything......
