About Terry Weeks
Early Life and Music Journey
Terry Weeks was born in Birmingham, Alabama. Before becoming a professional singer, he served in the United States Air Force. During his time in the Air Force, he was part of a special entertainment group called Tops In Blue for eight years. This group traveled around the world, performing for military members and their families.
After leaving the Air Force in the early 1990s, Terry began singing in his hometown area in Alabama. One day, he had a chance to audition for Otis Williams, a founding member of The Temptations. This led to Terry joining a special music project called For Lovers Only.
Singing with The Temptations
After For Lovers Only released its only album, Terry Weeks started filling in for Ali-Ollie Woodson, another lead singer of The Temptations, who was dealing with health issues. In 1997, Terry officially became a permanent member of The Temptations. He joined a lineup that included Otis Williams, Ron Tyson, Theo Peoples, and Harry McGilberry.
Terry Weeks has sung lead parts on some of the group's later popular songs. These include "Stay," released in 1998, and "I'm Here," which came out in 2000. He continues to perform with The Temptations, helping to carry on their amazing musical legacy.
