Except, apparently, Bo. ;D
Sorry, that was mean, but I couldn't resist.

I emailed and asked for Temptations CLOTHING in the store. Wouldn't it be cute to wear a t-shirt that says "Honey of an O" then a little picture of Otis on it? Or maybe Otis' head imposed on the little Honey Nut Cheerios Bee? ;D ;D ;D Well, maybe not....but I'd wear a "Honey of an O" t-shirt.  Peach |

See, I TOLD y'all there would be some upset Eddie fans .......... here's an email I got from someone regarding the site....... Re: Newest Temptations Website, this one by the "O" himself!
How stupid a message! 5 generations of fans? ? That'simpossible.
That
would be at least 125 years!!!!! The big "O", as in "Oh, No", must
actually mean 5 decades not 5 "generations". The new website is really
off to a very bad start if that type of gross misinformation and
hyperbole
are gonna be served. Eddie K., would agree with me 100%.
[name deleted by Ivory]
(a Motown expert)
P.S. The website address for Otis Williams should be written/listed
with a
capital "O" and a capital "W" to (a) look better; (b) be spelled
correctly; and (c) greater impact. Thus: www.Otis Williams.net (not
otiswilliams.net).

You can't have a space in a url, thus the reason "otiswilliams" is necessary. Might be a Motown expert but definitely isn't well-versed in the internet...LOL! It's just a web site. I honestly hope this person didn't get too upset over the whole thing. I noticed some inconsistancies myself but I certainly didn't want anyone's head on a platter over it... Ed Edited 'cause I can't spell |

Cool! ........... took long enough. I wonder if had anything to do with the Motown deal? Look good............... despise flash intros so I'm with you in spirit Peach. And I can just hear all of the Eddie fans CRINGING at the notion of hearing EDDIE'S voice singing on O's website.  "Darlin' Stand By Me", yep, that's what I woulda put.  HUSH Ed!  ROFL!! I would have gone there. Nice way to stifle me... ;D Ed |

Shout outs to ((((((((((((((((((Everybody)))))))))))!
Hey (((Peach))))! I know there was talk about (((Otis))) having a clothing line, and I don't remember which one, but I remember reading a review where a fan bought one his shirts after a concert. Does anyone else remember that?
Hey ((Corey)))! Last night on my computer I couldn't get Otis's web site to come up. I'm so so Glad that on my web tv, I saved it as a favorite on the second page. I'm thinking if I did that on my computer, I may have been able to pick it up. When I first went there on my computer. I was unable to hear any songs. Tonight on my webtv, I was able to get into the store. TTYAL!

If you can't get thru on the regular site of his.. ( because of the intro) try this.. its the page after the into: www.otiswilliams.net/frameset.htmlor just click the skip into on the main page.. that lagged me up also..dang dialup. |

I went to the site and I found a lot of mistakes in it. Eddie didn't die in 1991. The reunion didn't kick off until 1982. He doesn't mention Bo. Doesn't mention Glenn...Why? Doesn't give Dennis,or Woodson credit for singing at Ruffin's funeral. I hope nobody thinks that he didn't have control,or "imput" on this board.

Yea, there are a lot of things he omitted. Maybe he will correct it later.
