Dennis Edwards and The Temptations

Dennis Edwards & The Temptations - Treat Her Like A Lady (1984)
This was a nice Eighties come back hit for the the great Temptations. Dennis Edwards voice like on many previous hits came over strong. Dennis' rare solo single from the Sixties 'Johnny On The Spot' changes hands for mega money (£2.2k) on the Northern Soul scene.

At one point there was only about three known copies! His work with Motown's group The Contours is also well known and has his distinctive voice. I discovered this footage when Bill Randal was throwing out his VHS tapes.

Born in Birmingham, Alabama to Reverend and Mrs. Dennis Edwards Sr., he began singing as a toddler, just two years old, in his fathers' church. His family moved to Detroit when he was seven. As a high school student, Edwards sang with the Crowns of Joy gospel group, then in 1961 he organized his own soul/jazz group, Dennis Edwards and the Fireballs.

Dennis also in the Eighties recorded a nice 2-Stepper: 'Don't Look Any Futher' that was a massive hit in South Africa. Listen to the Ivy Joe Hunter or Dennis Edwards interviews (PCRL achieves.)
