@ Marv.....Yes he sung the intro...........

Like he did on My Baby Must Be a Magician......


Jai, we all know Melvin was one of he most popular Temptations, his breakout song was "I Truly Believe" the flip side of I Wish It Would Rain........he cemented his legacy with Old Man River........

I am most pleased that young folk now know of Mr. Franklin from the Backberry "Power" commercial. When I hear it, it gives me chills.......check this out its pretty nice........
