From The New York Times:
Ali Ollie Woodson, who led the Motown quintet the Temptations in the 1980s and ’90s and helped restore it to hit-making glory with songs like “Treat Her Like a Lady,” died on Sunday in Los Angeles. He was 58.
The cause was cancer, said Billy Wilson, president of the Motown Alumni Association. He said Mr. Woodson’s wife, Juanita, told him about the death.
Mr. Woodson was not an original member of the group, which had several lineup changes since it started in the 1960s. But he played an integral part in keeping the Temptations from becoming just a nostalgia act.
