I guess this means now that they're ALL deceased or do we have at least a few of them left? :(

Otis Williams is still with us, and he was the ORIGINAL Temptation, and the guy who kept it all gong, thru thick and thin. :)

At least he's the only one living, but the others right now are just newcomers.

About 20 years ago, my boss ran into Otis at the airport in Detroit, and was really psyched.

Eldridge "Al" Bryant - Died in 1975 from cirrhosis of the liver (36)
Paul "Cornbread" Williams - Died in 1973 from gunshot (34)
Melvin "Blue" Franklin - Died in 1995 from a seizure (52)
Eddie Kendricks - Died in 1992 from lung cancer (52)
Other notable members, but who were not founders, include:

Dennis Edwards - Died in 2018 from a stroke (74)
Ali-Ollie Woodson - Died in 2010 from throat cancer (58)

Ricky Owens - Died in 1996 (57)

I wonder why the life expectancy of a Temp was so short? ???

That's right, Otis Williams is the only original member still alive.
Dennis Edwards apparently joined the band in 1968, replacing Dave Ruffin.
And he would have turned 75 today. :\'(
