IMHO, Nate Evans' Temptations Revue sounds closer to the original Temptations, than Big O's Temptations.
I know I'm treading on sacred ground...
Truth be told, Dennis Edwards, Glenn Leonard, and Richard Street's Temptations Revues and some of The Temptations' tribute groups featuring Larry Johnson and others, could and would give Big O's Tempts a run for their money!

Nat used to be in the Impressions at one time
That's nice..... But when otis williams hangs it up the temptations will cease to exist!!
I agree Arr&Bee, at least The Temptations as we know them.Quote:

I knew he credits David Ruffin as one of his mentors and sang background for The Voices aka Ruffin, Kendricks, & Edwards.Quote:

Seems Nate has been around for a long time. I also read in the comments that he is technically a Temptation, 'cuz Otis summoned him as a stand-in Tempt on several occasions.
I wish Otis' Temptations had this much showmanship and energy...

I've just noticed in addition to Nate Evans, David Sea is singing background for The Three voices aka Ruffin, Kendricks, & Edwards. Sea was also a lead vocalist with Dennis Edwards' Temptations.
