You've heard of The Dells and I'm sure you've heard of The Temptations but let me tell you something about Member's Only. The name doesn't ring a bell does it? I didn't think so. We didn't make it to the big time like some of those jokas' but we did make a dent in music history. Five men from diverse backgrounds and situations all came together to formulate one of the sweetest sounds you ever heard. I, Benny "Velvet Rose" Pryor was the smooth one out of the group, which explains why I have so many damn children and the sole reason why I left so many broken hearts behind.

With that being said, there were a whole lot of things that we did wrong. Some of them would have tragic consequences later on.
