According to the notes for their VIP release "Feel Like Givin' Up" in TCMS12A "Eddie managed Posse, a five-man group similar to The Tempts, with lead singer Ricky Langstone in Kendricks high tenor mold".

Found some on Discogs. These seem to be the most famous:-

Lonely Lonely Girl Am I
The Girl's Alright With Me
I Gotta Find A Way (To Get You Back)
I Want My Baby Back
My People (Hold On)
He Who Picks A Rose

And there have been a few amongst tracks dug up for Cellarful and Ace compilations.

Posse of course also recorded for Motown and there are those amongst us that have always believed EK's vocals are right there in the mix Feel Like Given' Up their VIP release was also covered by fellow ex Temptation, Paul Williams and I think was on the One By One collection
I saw Eddie live with David Ruffin and Dennis Edwards back in the day just before the first two passed away and they were I have to say absolutely amazing and such gentlemen as well both signing my tour programme. Eddie looked terribly thin and was almost at the end of his battle with cancer.
