See,That's why you're number one in my book.
You'll be "THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME" when you post Al's vocals. Heck,for all I know,it could have been Jimmy..Ruffin that we actually hear. :laughing

Thanks for Kel's voice! He sounded great. Now I'm trying to imagine him with Eddie and Paul. Where did you find those and can you share the live "Dream Come True" with us?

Kell sounds like he had the goods. He articulates very well and has good delivery of his vocals. What became of Kell after the Primes split up? Does anyone have any current information concerning his where-abouts ?  |

Kell's voice can be heard singing several songs on The Soul Club website.
Kell lives in Los Angeles, CA. Kell, Paul, Eddie, and another young man sang together in Birmingham. Then Kell, Paul and Eddie went to Cleveland where they found day jobs and sang at night. Milton Jenkins took them to Detroit.

I remember seeing him singing on a local TV station when I was a small kid. I remember him singing a song called "Bread Basket Of Love". He kinda reminded me of a robust Little Richard in his appearance, especially his hairstyle at that time.  |

A little technical problem on the board. But all appears to be well now.
Ted Taylor's name was mentioned because people doing Motown research found someone who said Al Bryant sounded somewhat like Ted Taylor. However, I added that this was a problematic and very subjective identification. I would not put too much validity on it.
A more interesting point to me is that after hearing Kell Osborne's voice I agree with the historians who comment on the the fact that the Cavaliers had three strong vocal singers. Logically we feel that this means Paul, Eddie, and Kell all had lead at one point and went into the background when another had the lead.
Research has repeatedly shown that the people contacted have commented on the fact that the Temptations had five lead singers. In the four songs the Distants recorded there were at least three different lead singers. The habit of sharing the lead was one used by both groups.
I especially like the comment made by Norman Whitfield after some years: "The Temptations had five lead singers." This was said in a very emphatic tone.

My sources say he was talking about the HOF6. |
