He said he was tired of doing all the lead vocals, while Harold Melvin was making all the money.
The talent was throughout the group. Every member of The Commodores was talented.You can't blame him for that and you know he's not lying, just listen to their records and you can hear who is doing the lead.
A lot of time you can tell where the talent was when a member leaves the group,like the Commodores.
It sounded good to me! Of course, nothing sounds as good as the original Tempts, with Otis, Melvin, Paul, Eddie Kendricks, and David Ruffin.Also; changing singing styles, and disco didn't do a lot of these groups any favors either.
Do you remember how weird "Shaky Ground" by the Temps sounded?
Peace!
