... I have to say the dreaded Backstreet Boys. Because ... their name is frequently referred to. More recently the KPop group, I think BTS.

I'll go with New Edition. I think they were more like the Tempts as they could sing and dance at the same time. i don't think that they could sing as good as the Tempts, but they could sing on key.
Why not Boyz II Men?
Gotta agree with NE; I do hear them brought up in reviews of newer groups.
Pulleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzz!!! Are you serious?? There are no sucessors to the temptin temptations,what other group has five lead singers? They won't come along in our lifetime,heck the only groups that could dance with em are-gladys knight and the pips-the manhattans-new edition-the artistics-the unifics-the o'jays,and all those groups had one,maybe two leads...no the temps are it today and tommorrow!!
I'm definitely in the minority here but I still consider Jodeci the last true soul outfit in music. Their swagger and aesthetic were those of a hip hop group but their songs were as soulful as anything since the '70s.
I'm assuming we're not going to consider groups like the Spinners, O'Jays, Whispers and Manhattans that maintained steam {and created even greater output} for decades. Even if they were peers with the Temps, something has to be said about the core of any musical group staying relevant for 40 years.
I know I'm getting old and foggy in the head but wasn't NE's sound practically
modeled on The Jackson 5?...I remember first hearing them and going whoa, hold up!...
