Gabriel CortezSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They called you Sly II, an Earth, Wind & Fire coming.
Gabriel CortezSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They called Al Green you first, you the next Eddie Kendricks, you the second coming of Otis and B.B. King and George Clinton and Fela.
Gabriel CortezSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They called you Prince, and seconds later, there you were in a white beater and a durag, all cornrows and leather jacket and Tims, coming a second time.
Gabriel CortezSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They called you, and you came, naked and howling inside a Sam Cooke song, bathed in piano keys and guitar strings, scarves and feathers and cow's hide, anything to catch the sweat pouring from your funkadelic head, which could pull the gospel choir from a Spanish joint, could draw the Smokey Robinson out a, a black hole sun, the soul out the soul, out the worn-down work boot sole.
Manny JamesHOST
And when he, and when he got in, obviously they had the greatest five-man lineup ever.
Manny JamesHOST
Those five at that group was just Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, Paul, Otis, Blue.
Manny JamesHOST
That was the group.
Manny JamesHOST
That was the My Girl.
MakedaHOST
It's absolutely gorgeous.
MakedaHOST
Just before that as well, we had an eternal banger from Eddie Kendrick's My People Hold On.
MakedaHOST
I know there was some appreciation in the chat as well.
MakedaHOST
So out to everyone who's in the chat room.
Adrienne GarzilloHOST
You were Simba in The Lion King.
Adrienne GarzilloHOST
You were, you know, Eddie Kendricks in Ain't Too Proud, which was such a phenomenal show.
Adrienne GarzilloHOST
I mean, and Back to the Future, you had dual roles like everything that everything that you do.
Adrienne GarzilloHOST
It's just you're just your star is just skyrocketing.
Jelani RemyGUEST
Please be there.
Jelani RemyGUEST
Please be there.
Jelani RemyGUEST
But what I look for in a role is how to put myself, how to put Jelani into it, right? Especially like with roles like Eddie Kendricks or Marigoldie Wilson, these iconic, and Simba, these roles that people actually know.
Jelani RemyGUEST
These are things that people grew up with and they know.
LionelHOST
I died and went to heaven.
LionelHOST
Eddie Kendrick, Ruffin, then Dennis Edwards.

Oh.
LionelHOST
Remember the dancing and all that? Nobody does this anymore.
Blinky WilliamsGUEST
I mean, not Melvin, I'm sorry.
Blinky WilliamsGUEST
Um, uh, Eddie Kendricks and Paul, um, um, wanted to meet me.
Blinky WilliamsGUEST
So, um, the owner, John- John Daniels, said, "A couple of The Temptations would like to meet you." And I said, "Okay." He said, "I'm gonna bring them up to the dressing room." I said, "Okay." They came up to the dressing room and we talked and everything, and they said, um, "Do you record for anybody?" And I said, "Yes, I record for Andre Crouch." [laughs] But they had never heard of Andre.
Mark JosephHOST
Yeah.
Elvis CostelloGUEST
You can't sing like David Ruffin.
Elvis CostelloGUEST
You can't sing like Smokey Robinson or Eddie Kendricks.
Elvis CostelloGUEST
But you can tell yourself you can take that fearless approach that Levi Stubbs, he just throws himself into the song.
Elvis CostelloGUEST
I guess he did have technique, but it felt to me like it was very human.

KilHOST
I can remember any time that on a movie soundtrack, I wanna say high school, I had Your Precious Love with Erykah Badu.
KilHOST
You know, on the bus soundtrack had, God, what is that song? It's an Eddie Kendrick song.
KilHOST
Girl, you gonna make me change my mind, change your heart.
KilHOST
I'm bugging right now.
Robert RodriguezHOST
It, it's, it's, it's almost...
Robert RodriguezHOST
I was trying to think, who's he reminding me of? There's plenty of Black crooners, like an Eddie Kendrick or Marvin Gaye sometimes, where they go in that upper range.
Gary WenstrupHOST
Mm.
