Dennis Edwards Jr. (February 3, 1943 – February 1, 2018)

Edwards was born in Fairfield, Alabama,[1] about eight miles from Birmingham, to Reverend Dennis Edwards Sr. He began singing as a toddler, just two years old, in his father's church. The Edwards family moved to Detroit, Michigan when Edwards was about ten years old, and Edwards would continue to sing in the church pastored by his father, eventually becoming choir director.[2]

As a teenager, Edwards joined a gospel vocal group called The Mighty Clouds of Joy, and studied music at the Detroit Conservatory of Music.

The Temptations officially introduced Edwards on July 9, 1968 on stage in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
