    Motown's purchased Ric-Tic with the man Edwin Starr....YES!

    But, on the other hand....Atlantic's Temptations....always feel that the Tempts are Motown. Perhaps it could be tried to understood that they strayed for a spell 1976-1980 to expand from their self-conceived dry spell, like Gladys Knight & the Pips and Four Tops successfully flourished post-Motown, but Temptations are Motown; that's what it is to me.

    Didn't Dennis Edwards record an album for Motown in 1977? Still unreleased as a whole, but I think a few tracks have slipped out over the years.

    When the Temptations left for Atlantic Records, Dennis stayed behind at Motown at recorded an unreleased album [[from my understanding). Louis Price replaced Dennis when the group went to Atlantic Records.

    "Don't Look Any Further" was recorded and released in the 1980s. At this time, this was Dennis' second venture away from the Tempts.

    If I'm not mistaken, what I read was that during the recording of the Wings Of Love album, Jeffrey Bowen had swollen Dennis' ego with the fact that he didn't need the Temptations, that he, Dennis was the Temptations.

    Hi!

    Dennis left the group for the FIRST time in late '76, because he and Teddy Pendergrass had decided to do a solo album.
    In an earlier thread I wrote a long quote from Dennis on this thing, but unforunately I'm now in such a hurry that I don't have time to rewrite it here. I'll try to find it later.

    Best regards
    Heikki

    Am I the only one bothered by Cherry Red not using standard CD jewel cases? When their case cracks and I want to replace it, I can't use a standard case because of the way the "spine" is awkwardly styled. Has anyone had that problem?
