GLENN LEONARD'S TEMPTATIONS REVUE ANNOUNCES LINEUP CHANGE
										       release Feb 3, 2017

   WASHINGTON, DC --   Returning  from a 12 city tour of Germany, Switzerland and France, Glenn Leonard, former lead tenor of The Temptations from 1975-83, is excited to announce a personell change within his touring group. Legendary former bass singer of The Temptations, Joe Herndon, has come full circle and is returning to Glenn Leonard's Temptations Revue, Leonard announced today. The group will be debuting their revised world-class lineup at the beautiful Texan Theater in Greenville, TX on March 18th, just days before returning to Europe for performance dates already scheduled.  Upon return from Europe in April, the Revue will embark on their highly-acclaimed United States tour. 
   Glenn Leonard remarked that, "Over the years, I've had several ex-Tempts join our group as special guests on select shows. But I'm so honored and excited to have Joe returning to the group on a full-time basis. Since he left my group in 2003 to join The Temptations, I've always had amazing bass singers in the group, but bringing back such a legend, with so many years of experience with The Temptations, is history making! There's definitely no better way to pay tribute to the music, voices and choreography of the original Temptations."
  A Washington, DC native, Herndon began his career by joining famed doo wop group, The Spaniels, in the 1970s. He would remain singing with them until the late-1990s when he first joined forces with former Temptations singer Glenn Leonard. In 2003, Herndon was asked to join the legendary Temptations, by Temptations founder Otis Williams. He made his official Temptations debut on their last Motown album, 2004's "Legacy."   He remained a member of the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame group until his departure in December of 2015.
   Glenn Leonard, also a native of Washington, DC, successfully established 3 groups by the time he was in his early 20’s, including the internationally touring Atlantic Records group, The True Reflection. With the success of his groups, Leonard soon would come to the attention of the world renowned Temptations in 1975, who were looking for a new lead tenor.  Glenn had a long, illustrious career as their first tenor and lead singer from 1975-1983, where he sang on 10 albums and appeared on television specials world-wide.  Glenn may be most remembered for his soaring tenor voice on their 1980 rendition of "Silent Night," which is still one of the most popular songs played on the radio during the Christmas season.  Leonard also was honored to be with the group when they did the “Reunion” tour and album, sharing the stage and recording with original Temptations Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin, as well as the legendary Dennis Edwards and Richard Street. Mr. Leonard is a 2013 inductee into the R&B Music Hall of Fame.
   “There’s nobody that can fill the shoes of the greatest tenor voice ever, Mr. Eddie Kendricks. But carrying on that legacy, in my own way, and eventually sharing the stage with him during The Reunion tour, was definitely a highlight of my career that I will forever cherish,” said Leonard. “I owe a lot, to a lot of people, for making my dreams come true and to be allowed to be part of such a legacy. Hopefully, just some of that gratitude I have felt over the years has been passed along to the fans of The Temptations music.”
   The additional members of Glenn Leonard's Temptations Revue each have a long history with Glenn and a slew of national recording and touring credits. They've had amazing reviews world-wide because of their vocal talent, showmanship on stage, and personalities off-stage. 
   The additional vocalists include Kareem Ali (international 1970s recording artist with groups such as The Young Tempts, The Young Vandals and Impact - recording on the Isley Brothers' T-Neck Records as well as Atlantic Records), Joe Coleman (esteemed producer, songwriter and longtime former lead vocalist for The Platters), and Andre Jackson (formerly with The Choice 4, and reknowned as a member of Sudden M Pac, and as a Teddy Pendergrass tribute artist, ).
