I was just thinking about tall folks who made records. The following come to mind:

Wilt Chamberlain
Shaquille Oneal
Sam Dees 6'7"
Phillip Mitchell 6'3"

I understand Rosetta Johnson is over six feet tall. Terry Collins, I was told is a tall one. Bobby Eli any info.

Can anyone think of any more tall ones.

Hello everyone,

How can we forget The Tempts? The C5 Tempts were said to be over 6 feet tall!

Soulpuss: Shorty Long was only 5 feet.

Fayette: I think Marvin was 6'1 or 6'2.

Peace!

The Classic Five of the Temptations were: Paul and Melvin - 6'1", Eddie 6'1 and 1/2", Otis 6'2" and David 6'3". Jimmy Ruffin was taller than David, a bit heavier build than David too. I don't know how tall Jimmy was but noticeably taller than David.
