“Remembering the incomparable Melvin Franklin today on what would have been his 81st birthday. Melvin and I grew up together in Detroit and attended the same high school. As one of the founding members of the group, Melvin and I were very close up until the time we lost him. I still really miss him. As I said in my book, and it still holds true today, I will always carry on The Temptations in Melvin’s memory. He fought the good fights beside me, and shared in the triumphs, too. Everyone loved Me
