Singing with Temps founder Otis Williams since their days in The Distants, Street was a R&B and SOUL pioneer, if not one of the more "media driven" members of the group.

Little WAC remembers Lou "Mr. Gaines" Myers
Lou Leabengula Myers (September 26, 1935 – February 20, 2013)[1] was an American actor.
Myers was typically typecast as a grumpy old man, but he has appeared
in many movies, stage plays, television sitcoms, and dramas. He got his
first break as an understudy in the Broadway play, The First Breeze of Summer as Reverend Mosley. He is probably best known as the feisty Mr. Vernon Gaines in the sitcom A Different World. Myers was also an accomplished pianist.
