Did The Tempts Have A Height Requirement?


I am so glad I found this board. I can't remember the last time I discussed The Temptations. I would like to congratulate everyone on this board for having excellent musical taste.

I SWEAR I read many years ago that The Temptations had a height requirement. All members had to be at least six feet tall. It ticked me off a little because I am only 5'8". Did anyone else hear about a height requirement? Otis Williams and/or Melvin Franklin said a short guy would throw off the choreography of the group. Falsetto Ron Tyson looks like he might be a little under six feet tall. And with all due respect, Bruce Williamson must weigh at least 250 pounds. I had never seen a heavy set Tempt before he joined the group. But I guess if he can sing and keep up with the dancing then he is the right man for the job. Please click on

for the Tempts official site. Bruce Williamson is in the forefront.

Back when they were younger, there was a height requirement of six feet to be a Temptation.
