Great article! Thanks for sharing Marv. Not only are Leonard Pitts Jr's observations on the money, we can read Otis Williams' touching eulogy for Dennis as part of the piece.

You are most welcome Motown Eddie. I remember reading Leonard Pitts columns way back when I was a teenager.

I did want to be Dennis Edwards. Unfortunately, in 1968 I had a wisp of facial hair and those slicker than owl excretion sideburns were not going to happen for me.

I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Edwards in 2007 and told him that, and he cracked up.

May You Rest In Peace, Brother Dennis

I remember thinking that they were just the coolest. Oh and Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe of the Knicks. LOL
