Best Answer

The “Classic” Temptations were David Ruffin, Otis Williams, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks and Melvin Franklin (David English). After David Ruffin left, he was replaced by Dennis Edwards. After Eddie Kendricks left he was replaced by Damon Harris. When Paul died, Richard Street was added. Along the way, there were other tremendously talented men that Otis brought in, not the least of which were Glenn Leonard, Ron Tyson, Theo People’s and the incomparable Ali-Ollie Woodson. There were others too, including G.C. Cameron.

Otis Williams brought the group together and was the self proclaimed leader

David Ruffin usually was the lead vocal (My Girl Etc), until the group reformed(ball of confusion)

David Ruffin was probably the most noted lead singer but each member could lead. Eddie Kendricks was lead on a lot of their songs during the Ruffinera. Same with Paul Williams. Otis and Melvin were leads as well.

Was Riley Inge a member of the Temptations?

I couldn't find any record of a Riley Inge singing with the Temptations or any version of the Temptations. The only association mentioned was that on Mr Inge's own promotional material. Perhaps he used a different name before? I could find no mention of a Riley Inge in any entertainment context prior to his work in Vancouver.
