For Lovers Only enjoyed a brief stint on Motown Records from 1994-1995. Championed by <a href="spotify:artist:3RwQ26hR2tJtA8F9p2n7jG">the Temptations</a>' Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin, they had one LP and two singles released. The members were Terry Wayne Weeks from Birmingham, AL; Defrantz E. Forrest from South Bend, IN; and Michael Wayne Dickerson, origin unknown. <a href="spotify:artist:6An0VyPb5iX6NzuepZNZCz">Forrest</a> grew up in a musical family -- his stepfather was the late Fred Lee Davis, an entertainer who sang with many South Bend groups and later with the male chorus at Progressive Missionary Baptist Church; <a href="spotify:artist:6An0VyPb5iX6NzuepZNZCz">Forrest</a>'s biological father is Gene "Duke of Earl" Chandler. Motown unleashed two singles from the album: <a href="spotify:artist:5bHSSREflcAADAyCMlmxmh">Mtume</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2oeEffQL602t5EapJRTdxS">Lucas</a>' "The Closer I Get to You," and "Nasty Groove," written by Otis Williams, <a href="spotify:artist:0Kd5BnRv6rnPhDHZUNNzs7">Dennis Nelson</a>, and Tony Haynes. Neither the singles nor the album did much business, and the group disbanded. In 1997, Weeks replaced Ali Ollie Woodson in <a href="spotify:artist:3RwQ26hR2tJtA8F9p2n7jG">the Temptations</a>, singing alongside Otis Williams, <a href="spotify:artist:67beRVgfa4h1kOJhpDfl58">Ron Tyson</a>, Barrington "Bo" Henderson (<a href="spotify:artist:2W8UTum7bU7ue6m0r14H97">Dramatics</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:74lTWE4DqbFU3Vn8z4uH72">Lakeside</a>), and Henry McGilberry (<a href="spotify:artist:2pvqnXr6K5FZmqbgvibDE3">the Futures</a>). <a href="spotify:artist:6An0VyPb5iX6NzuepZNZCz">Forrest</a> later sang with Sly, Slick, & Wicked, the Cleveland group that relocated to L.A. (not the L.A.-based SSW who recorded for Bad Boys Records). ~ Andrew Hamilton, Rovi
