Can't see anything in the Washington Post. You have to be a subscriber.

The fact he is the only Temptation that has a memorial dedicated to him, makes me think he must given alot back to his state.

What did you hear? It wasn't that Darlene Love Story, was it?

Quite a few books and even Dennis Edwards stated that. The relationship Eddie and Paul had was a brotherly relationship, where they were close but not necessarily all the time. He had a longer...

But there was a time during the period of the Temptations he did become closer to David. Even Dennis Edwards stated he had a very special relationship with David

Eddie seemed like one of those people that everyone loved. People talked about his mood swings, but overall he was very loved. Even his ex wife said she still loved him. Even Shelly Berger, The...

I remember watching an interview with Dennis Edwards on YT and he discusses Eddie's relationship with David. He said he had never seen such a love/ hate relationship like their in his life.

This is a little off topic, although we know how close Paul Williams and Eddie were, but was there a time during their Temptations days they weren't so close? I read Eddie was closer to David and...

David Ruffin was very important to the success of Temptations but I think Paul Williams and Eddie Kendricks were even more important. There are people out who actually believe the group names should...

I just think people are being over sensitive over nothing.

Some of the songs they gave to David Ruffin to do lead could have gone to him.

Agree. I also think their music, especially The psychedelic era has become a big influence. I actually hear more Temptation songs used in film. Ball of Confusion is the theme song in Spike Lee...

That is true. In general, most fans do have a curiosity of their favourites private lives, it's human nature. For instance one of the reasons why I believe Mary Wilson book outsold Diana Ross's bio...

I agree. The reason I made this topic was because what I read and watch in a biography and a documentary about the Temptations, specifically Eddie Kendricks. It's not as if I pick this information...

Up to a few years ago I would have said the Supremes or even The J5, but now I would say The Temptations.

Just choose one group. No lists.

Quite frankly I don't think anyone has really attacked Diana in this thread. I just get a vibe that people are just sensitive to such discussions.

Btw, is any kind of talk about romantic relationships frowned upon here? I just want to know what type of topics I should post in the future.

I actually think Eddie had the most versatile voice in the group. People know him for his falsetto. But his natural range was alot deeper. You can hear this on a Ball of Confusion, where he sounds...

Well, I am new here. I am not aware what has been posted in the past. I just thought you could post any topic as long as it's Motown related.
I didn't know this would be such a sensitive topic for...

I am not saying Eddie was underrated overall, I am comparing him to David Ruffin, specifically. He was probably the most popular Temptation, especially with the ladies. But I do believe when it...

But if they started dating from the days of The Primes and Primettes which was well before Motown and they were still having some affair after he got married, then it was obvious more than a " hit...

I personally believe they actually had an on and off relationship over the years. Hearing Patricia Kendricks discuss Diana on Unsung sounds painful.

Sorry, I was just asking. Plus I don't think it is just gossip. I just wanted something clarified, because there were descrpancies in what was said on the Unsung documentary and what has been said...

I must admit I am cynical about her helping David.
