I am sure there were times when MW was right but other times when she was not.
but once again how many Temptations has there been???? why did some leave??
it seems drama stays with the ladies. to bad there wasn't a way to work things out as the JMC line up was very good
I believe the difference with the Temptations is that the group had more than one lead singer from the beginning and the public at large did not specifically identify with one personality in the way that they did with Diana. Additionally 5 members as opposed to 3 made changes in line-up less visible.
