Black Entertainment : Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes - The Love I Lost

[Enki]

The talent was throughout the group. Every member of The Commodores was talented.

I'm not saying that they didn't have talent, but Richie was the voice.

It sounded good to me! Of course, nothing sounds as good as the original Tempts, with Otis, Melvin, Paul, Eddie Kendricks, and David Ruffin.

It sounded good, what I meant by weird is that many of us was use to the ballads. In their movie, they even talked about this new shift.

Peace!

Lionel Ritchie is a great talent indeed!

Yeah, having lost the inimitable David Ruffin, they had to make a shift and it worked, using the Sly Stone musical formula.

Tru dat brutha CM.
Do you remember when their were briefly two Temp groups?

I saw a clip of Dennis Edwards, and he said that he could see how DR could let the hype go to his head. He said that David was singing just about every song they had, so it's easy to think that you are the force behind the group.

I found the clip.



Man, things look so different when you are on the outside.

Peace!

Lioyd Parks is the only original member of the Blue Notes that is left. The rest of the group died between the late 90s (97), and the last one was in 2010.

Lioyd is a top Reggie bass player now.

Peace!

As far as I know, there still is. There is one "Temptations" headed by Otis Williams and Dennis Edwards has "The Temptations Revue".
