As I like to say, "The story goes on..." Here's the latest from the world of The Temptations:

BENJAMIN WRIGHT – GREAT FRIEND AND MUSICAL COLLABORATOR Benjamin Wright (Ben) has been working with the Temps for over thirty years. He is a great man to create music with and a friend for life. Last June, while recording ‘Back To Front’ in Ben’s home-based recording studio we sat down and talked. Here is some of what Ben had to say. I have been working with Otis since 1976 when a President at Motown said I should be the Musical Director for the Temptations. Right then, I moved to Los Angeles and went on the road as the Musical Director. Quickly I was in the producer and arranger chair on the album ‘Temptations Do Temptations.’ A great joy is writing songs with Otis. A highlight was composing ‘You Are So Necessary.’ Otis and I are best friends too. A lot of friendships don’t last this long – over thirty years. +++ Thank's Ben for sharing your friendship and your inspiring musical talent for all these years. Peace, Otis |
