At age 74, Dennis Edwards, a singer of the iconic motown group the Temptations, died on Feburary 2nd, according to a CBS News report. 

Fellow band member Otis Williams took to the official Temptations Twitter account to tweet a message of condolence after learning his friend had passed away.

The late star joined the hugely successful vocal group after Singer David Ruffin left the Temptations in 1968. While the Temptations had been working for eight years prior to Edwards’ joining, he led them to commercial success. With Edwards, the Temptations went on to create a number of hit tracks in the late ’60s and early ’70s, including Hot 100 toppers “I Can’t Get Next to You,” “Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me),” and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.” The boy-band even scored two Grammy Awards in 1972 for the latter track.
