Not too long ago, fans were reminded of the song and millennials were introduced to the song when many social media users shared the video of Garrett and Edwards singing their classic hit as we all marveled how technology has improved. Despite the video being archaic, “Don’t Look Any Further” served as a reminder that good music is timeless.

In May of 2017, Siedah Garrett took to Instagram to ask for prayers for Dennis Edwards when he was reportedly very sick. At that time, close friend of Edwards and photo journalist, Ken Bedford, shared that Edwards was admitted to a St. Louis hospital after returning from a concert date in Canada. Bedford also later took to Facebook to share that Edwards had been recovering in a rehab facility in Chicago after he suffered an aneurism. Edwards’ friend also stated that he had been making great progress and his wife, Brenda, was planning a party for his birthday. Tragically, he passed away 2 days before he would have been 75. The St. Louis Dispatch  reported that Edwards passed away due to complications from meningitis.

Otis Williams, original Temptations member, shared that while Dennis Edwards is no longer living his legacy lives on through his music. “Don’t Look Any Further” was one of Edward’s biggest hits as a solo artist.

After learning of his passing, Siedah Garrett took to Instagram to remember Edwards as a legend. She thanked Edwards for giving her a shot and called him a “beautiful soul”.

Her face first became most recognizable after she and Dennis Edwards (of the Temptations) dropped their 80’s classic and had everybody singing “Day-o day-o, mombajee ai-o, well/Don’t look any further/Day-o day-o, mombajee ai-o, well/Don’t look any further!” Remember that? That song is still the bomb today.

So after accomplishing everything she has in music, Siedah’s one of the Old School artists/songwriters who is fortunate enough to still get paid from her hard work today. She recently posted a photo of her first music payment from Google Music for her newest single, “Cupid Is A DJ.” Y’all GOTS to see how much money she made…turn the page…
