Edwards is known as one of the most influential singers in the history of pop music. Many remember him as the lead singer in such hits as “Papa was a Rollin’ Stone” and his solo career hits such as “Try a Little Tenderness.” As a performer with The Temptations, he earned 14 gold certified albums, five Grammys, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Four singers will join Edwards to pay tribute to The Temptations.
Hits made famous by The Temptations such as “My Girl,” “Get Ready” and “I Can’t Get Next to You” are a few of the songs that will be performed.
