Singer Williams who founded the Temptations (4)

I believe the answer is:

otis

(Other definitions for otis that I've seen before include "Cole Porter's miss who was "unable to lunch today"" , "- - Redding (soul music star)" , "Lift man" , "lift company" , "Company providing lifts" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
