That was nice and good for Otis. Just last year, I finally got to hear Duke Fakir of the Four Tops do a solo and it was also nice.

Originally on the LP For Lovers Only, mixed medley with You Send me which was sung by Ali Woodson....

Otis has a very nice voice,he just doesn't have much range and although the temps are a five leads group we all know that the lion's share went to-paul,eddie,david,dennis,ali because of the power of thier vocals but don't sleep on otis cause he can bring it too!

A "nice" voice wasn't good enough for Motown in earlier years, we all know that, don't we?
Indeed, Otis has a nice voice, but so have I. Please, don't get carried away.

Because they had David, Dennis, eddie & Paul. Otis' voice was great for blending, but I don't hear a soloist here. I don't think the producers made a mistake by using him in the background. He has a line in Cloud Nine and i think Runaway Child. He wisely didn't try to launch a solo career after taking over the group [[like Mary did.0 I respect him for that. Dennis' Temptations are the best by far that I've seen. Even Paul williams Junior is there doing Don't look Back - and doing it very, very well.
