      Dear Nyela-of-Adams .. the dear Paul-of-Williams had died many years prior to this 'reunion' ... but his voice and spirit still and ever will travel through time. May he rest and be remembered in the peace that his 'snoozing soul' deserves.

    It is so apparent that every singer in this video is so loving of every other one. Eddie, Dennis, Eddie, Martha, Mary are so fond of each other, and I am so glad to see this part of what makes them so indelible in our hearts. This is the part that is communicated in their music that is sucn an obvious intangible. Eddie's voice is so fantastic even without music. David and Dennis, just fall into lead, background harmony without skipping a beat. That is why they were magical together

    One of my favorite songs is Walk Away From Your Love and their three man street version was beautiful.

    Interesting that when Martha Reeves is speaking with Eddie Kendricks at the Apollo in June 1992, Kendricks died on October 5, 1992 of lung cancer. His grave is located in Elmwood Cemetery in Birmingham, Alabama. "All the way to the top to reach the bottom"...........a profound statement from someone who knew. RIP to one great
    talent.
