Trivia.
Bobby
Taylor auditioned for the vacant lead singer spot in The Temptations
when David Ruffin left the group. Apparently he was turned down because
he was too short and his feet were flat!
Robbie King besides playing keyboards on numerous Motown recordings from
1967 ~ 1970 also arranged and played on the world-wide smash hit in 1974
by Terry Jacks "Seasons In The Sun / Put The Bone In" on Bell 45432. He
has also played with Alice Cooper and Aerosmith. |
