ABA SAID: I have pictures of him with Paul when he was younger but you need to identify yourself in some manner so we can really talk about this...
T
Uh I believe that pretty much sums it up. No one is trying to bash the GUEST (at least not until MIKENYC posts) but for him to surf on in and call someone a liar is wrong...and to not be big enough to identify yourself is well.... cowardly. I am sure MikeNYC will clear up any questions he may have...

Guest who's coming to dinner ! MIKEY. And what's on the menu; reading! When I was 11 YOU didn't know the difference between Hall& Oats and Quaker Oats! I was 11 in 1969,Hall & Oats were not out then,sorry!Guest again ! Riddle me this BATMAN: What makes you think that the later statement was true my youthfull looks ? I have a picture of Paul and myself at the Apollo . I DON'T HAVE TO LIE ABOUT ANYTHING! This reminds me of an old Intruder song ,Me Tarzan,You Jane ! How much you want to bet that I've seen Paul perform MANY TIMES ? HUH ? HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ME IN THAT MANNER ! JUST because YOU never saw them does not mean that I was as UNLUCKY as YOU ! Not only did I see them,but I got to know them and unlike you ,I know what I'm talking about! I don't hide behind a phoney name,get mad and come back as a GUEST ! I don't have to prove anything to you,just don't hate me because I'm beautiful! Anytime you want to question me about the Tempts ,you can do so,just READ THE DARN THING RIGHT ,FOOL ! You act like Ray & STEVIE taught you how to read,and if they did they taught you to feel your way thru ! Are you nuts ? When you have something of substance to post,post it otherwise, If I wanted to hear from a BUTT,I'll break WIND ! Get my drift ?  |

Hey Guest..I tell you what,since you don't think that I've ever seen Paul perform,I will prove to you that I did. And when I do,will you post a RETRACTION ? I got another Intruders song...I...WANT TO KNOW.....YOUR NAME...(just wait a minute,don't leave out the door) I WANT TO KNOW YOUR NAME ! Now ,do we have a deal ? Think I'm lying ? Back that talk up ! Can you ? Will you? You should have posted under the name "WENDY" so when I prove you to be wrong,I can say "WHERE'S THE BEEF " ? " I DON'T SEE ANYBODY BACK THERE !,I REALLY DON'T! " When I get finished with you,you would rather scratch a bear's butt in a phonebooth with honey dipped nail tips before you call me a liar.  |

Well said Mike .  . While all are welcome to post here, no one is welcome to come in anonymously with an attack on one of our family members. If they want to be a family member, no problem. Just sign in, say what they have to say, BACK IT UP WITH FACTS AND SOURCES, and discuss it. Respectfully. Accusing TRUTHMAN of lying doesn't qualify  ... That said...Mike, do you have any personal stories that you can share to illustrate those qualities you described i.e. Ruffin's generosity, Dennis's funniness, Eddie's niceness etc?? I LOVE a good story |

Well Guest....You can't say I didn't warn you! I was probably trying to shield you from the wrath of the TRUTHMAN because I knew you had made a grave mistake in judgement. We are asked to substantiate our findings if they come under question and as far I can see since I've been here, there's never been a problem with anyone doing that. Sometimes we're wrong but most times we get what we're looking for. You can help yourself by joining us and becoming part of the group or you can let your last post truly be your last.

I remember going to see Lou Rawls and we had good seats. The lady that I was with was enjoying the show. There was a man ,a tall man sitting next to her,we were trying to keep quiet,but everyone was enjoying the show. When it was time to leave we followed the tall man and when we got outside in some light,it was Eddie Kendricks. The lady that I was with lost her mind,she couldn't even speak. Eddie said,"If you don't make a scene,we can take a picture together. All the times we have a camera... this time we didn't have one !Eddie had one,and took our picture.David would sing anything that he was asked to acapella ! I used to ask him to sing songs that only a RUFFIN FAN would know,Cindy,Slow Dance,You'll Lose A Precious Love! After the show at the Ritz,I went up to his room,he was not getting high,he told me to "get you something to eat !" I said,man I'll get something on the way home,he said "NO you won't get something now ,and not no BURGER,I'm talking about a MEAL". Dinner's on Ruffin! Dennis keeps me laughing,most of the jokes are not primetime tales,so I can't get into that on the board. When I first met Dennis,he stood me in the wings and let me see as many shows as I wanted to....FREE ! We were at the book party for Tony Turner,and I thought that someone stole my camera. I looked all over the place,and was very upset. Dennis came to me and asked,"What's wrong"? I said someone took my camera and I feel sorry for them if I see them with it . He laughed and told me"I have your camera,you left it at my table"! Then we both laughed hard at that one . In 96 Dennis played the Apollo and I was backstage.The women were waiting for him,saying something about something that happened twenty years ago. When Dennis came out,with his wife,the women came up to him ,trying to remind him of "Days gone by ". He looked nervous and when he saw me he said to me "You better come over here and give me a hug" I told him in his ear,"You owe me one!" He said "I know" ! I still tease him about that one . Last year when he played B.B. Kings,I said "I want to ask you something,but I don't want to say it loud, I asked him,"Man I have been coming to see you since I was 11 years old,I must be
doing something wrong. Why do I have more grey hair than you"? After a long laugh he said "It's something called Just For Men" ! We can never look at each other when something funny's going on ! ;D And that's no lie! ;D

Oh Mike, what GREAT reminiscences, thanks for sharing these great moments!!!! And David would actually KNOW the songs you requested of him? That's fantastic. Barbara Mason was like that, too. When I started singing "I AIn't Got Nobody" and she joined in with me, I was so surprised! Quite a few artists I've met don't remember the lyrics to their B-sides and/or album cuts that weren't in their repertoire, so when an artist can actually sing them upon random request that's pretty cool.

That's funny, Mike. You made me remember that Ron always wants to be a comedian. He would do shows for me to see if his jokes fly. I didn't know Dennis did it too. Ron was actually pretty funny. The stories you tell are similar to mine in that Melvin would always make us go eat after the show. And HE WAS NOT IN HIS ROOM GETTING HIGH. We used to sit in his room and sing. He taught me all the harmonies to Elevator Eyes in one night. And the B-Side quiz was a monster!!! ;D ;D

Whew! These stories are fun! ........... If y'all were physically capable of getting some liquor in me, you MIGHT get me to cough up my "Otis Williams foot rub story" or my "time Ron pretended to choke me over a lemon Tasty Cake" story, or the "Otis scared the sh*t out of me in the parking lot" story or the best one of all, the "Damon almost killed me in a car wreck 'cause he was too busy singing Spice Girl's hits and not paying attention to the road" story! But since I'm TOTALLY sober at this point, all I have to say is...........  |

and let's not forget about the, "me, Damon and Fair Lady Soul run all over the mall trying to find Dbaby in the crowd of 13 year-olds" story. Now THAT'S a good one!
