author unknown
EDDIE JAMES KEN DRICKS
He was born In Birmingham, Alabama on December 17,1939. He came to Detroit when he was 17 and is the second eldest of five children. He is 6' 1 1/2" tall and weighs 150 pounds. He thinks that the only thing to guarantee success is hard work. He considers himself a loner and makes a point of being alone when he is in what he calls an "evil" temper. He is actually very shy and speaks in a soft Voice. He is wrapped up in the group and wants it to be recognized as the greatest. As far as personal material wants go, he would like to be married and have a big house with a swimming pool. The only flaw is that he can't swim. He hates to have days off...would prefer that they keep working all the time. He collects record players and hopes to have a huge sound system in his house. His favorite color is blue and he likes soul food for dinner. Even though he smokes comparatively little, he thinks that is too much and tries to give it up.
DAVID RUFFIN
He was born in Meridian, Mississippi, on January 18, 1941. He moved to Detroit when he was very young and makes his home there. He is 6' 3" tall and weighs 154 lbs. He likes to swim, ride and hi-jump. He considers himself outgoing but gives the impression of being rather more self-contained. He says that he would like to sleep for a week if he could do anything in the world. He hates being in a crowd that pulls at him. His favorite actor is Richard Burton and his favorite actress is Sophia Loren. He loves to travel. He has one goal in life and that is to keep singing.
PAUL WILLIAMS
Paul is the joker in the group. He is also on ex-footboll player who is interested in interior decorating. He is one of nine children. Paul is 6' 1" and weighs 165 lbs. but looks heavier. His parents wanted him to be a shoe repairman but are highly pleased now that he didn't become one. His favorite colors are green and white. Paul likes women the way they are. He hates wrong notes. He plays the guitar and bass and some piano. He was born in Birmingham, Alabama and lived there until he was 19. If he could do anything in the world, he would do everything. He likes his career.
MELVIN FRANKLlN
He is probably the leader of the group, inasmuch as he is usually the spokesman. He is the talker; he is friendly1 warm and outgoing He likes to mimic. He likes to use the word 'terribly" which he picked up in England. He thinks it is terribly funny. The most exciting moment for him is just before they go out on stage and he and David say a short prayer. He has had one year of college which was at Wayne University. He likes small, intimate parties with his close friends. He is a responsible person who likes loud, rowdy people. He is a devoted reader of Marvel Comics and thinks Tarzan is the greatest. He has the kind of smile that looks like a million dollars. He hopes someday to have a family of his own, a nice home and a car.
OTIS MILES
Although he was born in Texarkana, Texas, he was brought to Detroit when he was 8 months old. He has lived in Detroit ever since. His closest friend is Melvin Franklin and they are like brothers. They started out together in another group. He considers himself the quiet man. He thinks his worst failing is that he doesn't get down to brass tacks in his dealings with others. He would rather shoot the breeze. He is absolutely sure that having shell peanuts in a car is bad luck and presents authentically documented casesof this little known evil. The best advice he ever got was to remember that "the same rope that pulled you up can hang you." He hates long trips in station wagons. His favorite food is chicken. lf there is a future ambition it is that he would like to be a producer.
