The material contained in their early catalogs were best sellers and featured the Classic Five which many consider to be the best there ever was. Strangely enough its kind of ironic, there have been so many Temptations that [[ even Dennis and his group deserve a shout out) even though four of the Classic Five are gone and several other members of the group have passed away they continue to be one of the most popular acts today. Everybody has a favorite song and yes Otis & Dennis have tried to maintain the integrity of the Temptations after all these years. It's a weird and wonderful show biz story, kids from nowhere USA, failure, success, drugs, alcohol, death, failure, success.........
