I love the Eddie Kendricks Memorial Garden on 18th Street and 4th Avenue North for many reasons. I spent many an hour listening to him and The Temptations growing up and I think this memorial with the sculpture by Alabama's Ron McDowell is excellent. It's nestled in a garden of flowering crape myrtles and hydrangeas, a lovely setting for the stage with Eddie singing into the microphone and the Temps in the background. It was drizzling Saturday when we took a stroll through this quiet little urban garden... Eddie was still singing. I'm certain this is the song .... My Girl!
