Grammy-winning singer Dennis Edwards, an unmistakable voice during legendary act the Temptations’ heyday, died Thursday night (Feb. 1) of complications from meningitis, confirms his wife of eighteen years, Brenda Edwards.

Mr. Edwards, who lived in Florissant, died in a hospital in Chicago, and had been in and out of hospitals since he was diagnosed May 2017. He would have been 75 on Saturday (Feb. 3).

Mr. Edwards received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in 2013 that included Edwards, Otis Williams, and the survivors of the departed members of the group. The Post-Dispatch profiled Edwards at that time.

The Temptations Review featuring Dennis Edwards performed at the Ambassador June 2016.

In 1985, Mr. Edwards scored a huge solo hit with "Don't Look Any Further."

A full obituary of Mr. Edwards is forthcoming.

Yeah "Don't Look Any Further" is a "Saturday Night Mastermix" staple to this day. So many rappers done jacked that beat from Eric B. to 2Pac to Biggie, etc.
