Temptations vocalist leads Review in Morganton
Dennis Edwards, one of the last surviving members of the legendary Motown group the Temptations, will highlight The Temptations Review tonight at the City of Morganton Municipal Auditorium.
Edwards was enlisted to replace David Ruffin as lead singer of the Temptations in 1968. He spent the next nine years in that role, providing the vocals for songs such as "Cloud Nine," "I Can't Get Next to You," "Ball of Confusion" and "Psychedelic Shack," as well as the groundbreaking singles "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and "Masterpiece."
Edwards is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and has 14 gold albums, five Grammy Awards and 38 Top 40 hits.
