Singer Dennis Edwards, a former member of the legandary group, The Temptations, has been permanently barred by a federal judge from performing under the groups name. Edwards was also ordered to pay $50,000 to Temptation leader Otis Williams and the estate of the late Temptations member Melvin Franklin. The court also prohibits Edwards from using such names as, "The New Temptations", "The Knew Temptations", and "Dennis Edwards former lead singer for the legendary Temptations". The court order permits Edwards to describe his group as "Dennis Edwards and Temptations Review", or "The Temptations Review featuring Dennis Edwards". The suit was filed by Otis Williams, an original member of the Temptations. The name, "the Temptations" is a registered trademark of Otis Williams and the estate of Melvin Franklin.
