TEMPTATIONS OF OTIS WILLIAMS
When a teenager, Otis Miles, Jr. became interested in music and adopted his mother’s maiden name for his stage name, and like Otis Williams put together a variety of singing groups. Otis Williams and the Siberians, El Domingoes and Distants were among those groups. In 1959, The Distants recorded a local hit with lead vocals by Richard Street, co-written by Williams and their manager/producer Johnnie Mae Matthews, titled ‘Come On’
Later recordings by the Distants were not as good, and Williams and his friends/bandmates Elbridge “Al” Bryant and Melvin Franklin left the Distants after an offer from Berry Gordy of Motown Records. The Primes’ Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams later joined Williams, Bryant and Franklin to form The Elgins, who signed ‘The Temptations’ to Motown in March 1961.
Over the span of nearly five decades, The Temptations were one of the most influential acts in soul music, during which singers such as David Ruffin, Dennis Edwards, the former Distant Richard Street, Damon Harris, Ron Tyson, Ali-Ollie Woodson, Theo Peoples, Ray Davis and former Spinners singer GC Cameron have all been members.
The band’s lineup changes were so frequent, stressful, and troubled that Williams and Melvin Franklin promised each other never to leave the band. Franklin remained in the band until 1994 when he became physically unable to continue. On February 23, 1995, Franklin died, leaving Otis Williams, then 53, as the last surviving original member of the quintet.
