Dennis & David …. They Sang Smooth with the Roughness ~ Respect Due to Both of them… Soul Sangers Indeed!!!

I can ask the same thing, is anyone allowed to compliment David without some kind of rebuttal from someone else? Just like you replied to Tuzwol's comment, I replied to your comment, I don't understand why some get offended so quickly over something so small.

Dennis is great, but I agree with Tuzwol, if David sung those parts on Cloud Nine and I Cant Get Next To You and Ball of Confusion those songs are just as successful.

even with that said he was extremely talented,Ruffin had multiple chances even in 1982 on the reunion tour to solidify his place in the group, but again he kept missing shows,Ruffin blew it,he could have been recording with The Tempts throughout the 80's and beyond.may he rest in peace,one of the greatest singers ever,not just soul singers but one of the greatest singers PERIOD.

He got fired,he didnt leave The Tempts. Differences like missing shows and showing up late. All Ruffin had to do was not miss shows,not show up late,not miss rehearsals,basically do his job. Why would they change the name to David Ruffin & The Temptations and he is missing shows,imagine if they did change the name and David missing shows,do you know how bad that would be,because the audience would be saying "where's David". Even when Ruffin went solo he was missing shows,he did it to himself

to each their own,the thing is Dennis never sang those songs by himself,the Tempts shared leads,whereas David sang My Girl as the only lead singer,but David would just sing it like he sang I Wish It Would Rain. Listening to Dennis sing his parts on Cloud Nine is like listening to Dennis sing I Wish It Would Rain. Those songs are related because of the gritty leads. Listening to Ali and G.C. Cameron sing on Cloud Nine is like listening to David sing Cloud Nine,imo,peace

wow, such great humility from a man who is undoubtedly a legend himself.

I cant use the word "replace" because he only added to an already established legacy-group. He brought them a new rough sound that held its own in HIS style. Thats what i like about it.

The biggest compliment that i could give Dennis Edwards is how he just described it himself......Dennis Edwards, the man the stars went to see

I love Dennis..he was an excellent excellent fill in. no one could replace david. but he was there..sad about david..so sad. and tragic.

Dennis is great,I'm sure David could sing Dennis' parts on those songs, considering that they required a gritty lead voice,something that RUffin had,but those songs capture the other Tempts voices as well,which made those songs special

You can say what you want About David Ruffin and it's all deserved but you acan't take anything from This Man Dennis Edwards He stands on his own. Watch him on the in the studio clip and you will see that even today he can still make hits.

No Temptations fan wanted David Ruffin to leave.....but weren't we lucky that Dennis Edwards was there to bring the group into the next era of the Temps.......and aren't we lucky that Dennis is alive and well and sounding great to carry on the legacy. Yes, Otis and his guys are doing their thing. But Dennis Edwards is the man who really carries the torch and keeps the flame going. Props to Dennis.
