The Temptations, after all, was most commercially known, their crossover top ten pop and r&b period, 1964 - 1972-73, "Masterpiece" being their last pop top ten hit, but still long today not as known as "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone". Richard Street was only on the tail end of it.
After all, why not Daimon Harris? Glenn Leonard? Or, by the of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction, Ron Tyson and Ali-Ollie Woodson?
