[newyawker99]

I would have to go with the Temptations........


"Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at"

"Ball of confusion.........that's what the world is today"

"It was just my imagination running away with me."

"I'm doing fiiiiiiiiiiiiine on cloud9."

1. Temptations for sure

10. Gotta go with the Four Tops.

It's a very close choice, but Levi Stubbs at his peak was just about perfection as a vocalist.

The Temps are an extremely close second.

As far as other R&B groups, mad props and a shout out to the Spinners.
