... 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.
I agree! I’ve always said that while the Temptations are the superior group, NE had the better movie.Quote:

They’re more on par with the Four Tops, who were also quite pigeon toed.Quote:

Well, put it that way and I can't disagree! But ... what I'm thinking of is what male group of subsequent generations captured those generations as the Temps did.Quote:

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.
"Candy Girl" sounded more like a Jackson 5 record.Quote:
