Otis Williams did sing lead on some of The Temptations songs. One particular track is "Dont send me away".
Another Otis lead is on "I Ain't Got Nothing." You listen to it at the Old School Music Lover Blog link provided.
Additional "Otis" tracks appear on more later albums but such songs are rare.

Why did Otis Williams fire Dennis Edwards from the temptations?
otis kicked out multiple people from the group, the only conclusion i can come to is: otis is just a hater and anyone who becomes popular, otis kisck them out because he cant stand for anyone to get more attention than him (a background singer) how can he really expect to be as popular as the guys that are singing lead?
How did blue from the temptations die?
Paul Williams shot himself in the head, August 17th 1973. Correction: There were three main lead singers of The Temptations: 1st Lead Singer, Eddie Kendrick(s)--died of lung cancer in 1992 2nd Lead Singer, replacing Elbridge "Al" Bryant, David Ruffin--died of cocaine overdose in 1991 3rd Lead Singer, replacing Paul Williams, Dennis Edwards--still alive as of 3/05/2011 Otis Williams, who formed the Temptations, was never considered a lead singer. Paul Williams, an original member, also was not a lead singer. Eddie Kendrick was Paul's best friend and was offered the lead singer role. His condition in joining the group, then known as the Elgins, was to have Paul as a member of the group, as well. There were other lead singers that came in and out of the group, including Richard Street, who had been with the Distants before joining the Monitors. The "Classic 5" known Temptations are Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendrick, Paul Williams and David Ruffin. Dennis Edwards became lead singer only after Eddie Kendrick's departure.
Who is the main member of the Temptations?
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.
Who were the temtations?
The original group included members of two local Detroit vocal groups: The Distants, which featured second tenor/baritone Otis Williams, first tenor Elbridge "Al" Bryant and bass Melvin Franklin; and first tenor/falsetto Eddie Kendricks and second tenor/baritone Paul Williams (no relation to Otis) from The Primes. Among the most notable future Temptations were lead singers David Ruffin and Dennis Edwards (both of whom became successful Motown solo artists after leaving the group), Richard Street (another former Distant), Damon Harris, Ron Tyson, Ali-Ollie Woodson, Theo Peoples, and G.C. Cameron. Like its sister female group, the Supremes, the Temptations' lineup has changed frequently over the years
