Marv this is a great thread! I think Otis let Dennis come back so many times because Dennis did a lot of leads on their hits it may have been a business decision. Weldon McDougal who is no longer with us told me the reason why some of the Tempts [[did not say which ones) had to be let go was due to drug use. Also bad behavior [[not showing up for rehearsals..etc). Many of the Temps were able to have a great sound for the replacements as well like Damon Harris replacing Eddie.
