This Temptation organization is just phenomenum. Everyone who pass through the ranks of this institution has/had such great talent. As my collection of their music continues to expand I find more reasons to be amazed. At this point I've heard each guy's distinctive voice on lead (except for Rickey Owens and Elbridge Bryant). Some of them I can easily tell you my favorite lead for him and others, well... Let's share hear our favorite lead for each guy, I'll start off, if I skip the guy well that means I couldn't quite nail him down, and let's make this hard, only ONE song per gentleman! David - I Could Never Love Another After Loving You Eddie - Girl Why You Wanna Make Me Blue Melvin - Truly Believe Paul - Otis - I Ain't Got Nothin Richard - Hey Girl Dennis - Memories Damon - Smooth Sailing Glen - Silent Night Louis - That's When You Need Love Terry - Ali - Theo - Stay Bo - My Baby Harry - his part on Stay Joe - Ol' Man River Ray - luv to hear this man say "Tear the roof off the mutha sucka" he did a great job on FLO G.C. - Baby Its Me Ron - Sail Away Bruce - Hold On I'm Comin

I see we agree we mostly agree with each other for favorites. I started to say Lady for Terry, but then there's 4 Days, Never Can Say Goodbye, Minute By Minute, Love Ballad, etc... started to say Hey Girl for Paul, but then there's Running Away Ain't Gonna Help You, No More Water in the Well, etc...so many to choose from.

Here is my list, and byt the way, this is the hardest thing I ever had to do..LOL!
I also have to note, one of my favorite songs is Loneliness Made Me Realize, It's You That I Need because of the shared lead.

Paul - Who you gonna run too ALL DAY! I love love love this song. Oh goodness, I am getting nostalgic for this. I remember when I first got into the Tempts I was like so young, and I had a tape player, and I dubbed them off of my uncles CD set and I would listen and rewind and fast forward. I ruined that old tape...LOL!! I am such a blessed fan.

hello there, I'm OG and I remember the leads that inspired me and the ones I loved to hear sing. When it was the original 5, my fav was Eddie K with his smooth tenor, Ollie on lead vocals was the total balm, Richard in front and in the background was awesome, then we come to Dennis with his slobbering churchy self, Damon reminded me so of Eddie K, Paul with his baritone was all that and now Ron T singing tenor is yes yes yes for me. Ever noticed that O never lead or had a front lead. Bascially, what I hear today is not what I'm used to hearing from the guys but they are still my number one male grp.
