LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Former Motown vocalist Richard Street, a member of the Temptations for 25 years, has died. He was 70.
Street's wife, Cindy, says her husband died early Wednesday at a hospital in Las Vegas after a short illness.
Richard Street sang as a young man with Temptations members Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin, but didn't join the famed Motown group until the early 1970s. He later made the move from his native Detroit to Los Angeles with other Motown acts and stayed with the group until the mid-1990s.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete, but Cindy Street expects services to be held sometime next week in Cypress, Calif.

She says her husband "was a really good person" who should be remembered for his work with the Temptations.
WOW!, dcSTAN, " Greetings Uncle Sam" was a bad joint! A childhood friend who lived on Md. ave in DC was on his way in the military and I snuck into his going away party because i was a young'n and they played that joint I know 25 straight times in a row!!
This current generation is really missing out on a culture of lyrics, melodies, and music in general. I would not trade my youth for a million dollars.
