There are so, so many videos and tributes out there right now. This one really stood out for me. It's Dennis just being Dennis. It is from 2016 and as you will see, he still was an excellent singer into his 70s.

Here is a picture of the late great Dennis Edwards,
which I took in 2001. We were in the front row.

My grand daughter Emily was born on the 3rd of September,
a day I'll always remember.

That is a great picture. Dennis was always dressed so sharp on stage. Thank you for sharing it Edafan.

To Marv2 & Lockhartgary:

I really liked seeing Dennis in 2001 with the Temptations Review in Rhode Island, believe it or not at a race track. They originally were going to play in the infield, but the weather pulled them inside the clubhouse, where it was better. Is it me!!!! I just don't like hearing any negative stories about the Edwards after Dennis has passed.
Let him be.

Yes he gave a statement on behalf of the group. I believe it was on Facebook originally and was picked up by some of the papers. Berry Gordy gave a very nice tribute in the Detroit Free Press. There were comments, prayers etc from Martha Reeves and Mary Wilson. Mary recently sung at the funeral of Pete Moore of the Miracles.

I got my one and only chance to see Dennis in the late 80s or early 90s, along with David and Eddie and maybe a few more guys with them. They were performing for free at a park in Pennsauken, New Jersey. The young lady I was with [[a coworker) gave the hat she was wearing to Eddie; it was a hot summer day. Afterwards, I recall Dennis signing autographs and at least one copy of the Temptations book by Otis. Dennis seemed so nice to the fans.

What a great memory. Thanks for sharing Lockhartgary. When you mentioned Pennsauken, it made me think of my Philly Days.
