I have a copy of the Classic Five early autographs. And they wrote "temp" or "tempts" under their names. I don't want to look that autography copy up right now to see which one spelled it which way, but some wrote it with the "t" and others wrote it without the "t."
I agree with Ivory; grammatically she's correct. They are "tempts" because they tempt. But the Temptations who put "temp" were probably just writing it the way it sounded without thinking.
And while I am thinking of this subject, even the great Shakespeare signed his name differently on different documents. And that's the strangest thing of all. For someone who used words so beautifully and so correctly that he set the standards did not even spell his name the same way all the time. There were no spelling rules then, and you wrote something however you thought it sounded. But it always seemed strange to me that you wouldn't write your own name the same way all the time.

DOn't faint, but I agree with MikeNYC. My copy of their autographs has Paul very definitely writing "tempt."
Eddie writes "temptation" under his name.
Melvin's could be interpreted either way. I think it's "tempt" with a flourish at the end.
And David's also could be "tempt" or "temp."
I don't have Otis' signature on this particular copy, but I have seen him with "temp."

did you go to shows back in the sixties with the classic 5 and get those autographs-or did you interview them for the paper- or did you buy them off ebay ?
