i think your talented, i'll give you that. but the fact of the matter is, your father is probably the best singer of his time, and unfortunately for you, cast a shadow you may not be able to come out of. i hope you stay close to the music your father put out, and with that alone, i think you'll do just fine. please don't take it the wrong way, your father is the absolute best in my book. i've always been a fan of his, and now yours too.
David you are your own man with a gift like your Dad. Relax and sing from your heart. Try not to make too many changes. I like how you up~dated it and added bit of you in it. Your style is your own...not your Dad's...and I like it. The idea marcellomimi stated is a awesome idea. To make do a duet with your Dad would be awesome! Keep up the wonderful work...I'm so proud of you...
I've just stumbled upon this videos of DR Jr. This is really amazing. The voices were the temps.. Are you sure you are singing all these parts? If so, that shows amazing talent. Such versatility is a treasure. I was hoping I would actually see you singing all parts to convince me. Your father is a legend and an icon. You don't have to prove anything to anyone. Be yourself. Let what you feel come through your songs. Find your passion and style of singing and you will find your road to success
Brilliant!.. Luvs the pic of u with the images representing the other Temptations. You knocked this one out the the park! We would love to see a video of this~~Do a video tribute to the Temptations. That would be awesome! Please don't stop here.... Encore, Encore! :)
Wao...desde Venezuela sigo la carrera de los Temps..y es indiscutible la calidad vocal y el carisma de Mrs. David Ruffin y aun la voz de su hijo. Felicidades Dios te bendiga.
@mili1977 Wao ... I'm from Venezuela Temps race .. and it is indisputable vocal quality and charisma of Mrs. David Ruffin and even the voice of his son. Congratulations God bless you.
David Ruffin Jr. IS SURE FOLLOWING A AMAZING MAN HIS PRESIOUS DADDY & ALWAYS HAVE WHAT HIS FATHER HAD CLASS, STYLE ,LOVE,& DANCiING, VOICE, & GOOD LOOKS!! MAY YOU ALWAYS BE BLESS MY NEPHEW!!!!! :)BLESSINGS, LOVE, PEACE, & HAPPINESS :) YOUR AUNTIE LEONA XOXO KEEP THE FAITH BABY :)
David Ruffin Jr has got it!! his Daddy had it!! an the Record companies better wake up an see/hear it!! wht is it they got???? ''''THE VOICE''' SO SING AN BE TOP OF OUR CHARTS!!!<3<3
OK 1st of all, I can't believe you did all these parts - even Melvin's LOL! 2nd the video is hilarious - it shouldn't be "rocket science", u look just like DR Sr.! 3rd, THIS is what I wanted to hear - I have to admit some of the other clips were starting to disappoint bcz I'm oldschool & didn't want to hear autotune/vocoder/robotic-sounding gimmicks on someone's voice. I know it's the style now but I hate it. THIS shows u can actually sing, I miss SINGING. Less gimmickry, more of THIS. Good job!
Drj would be so cool if you could do a duet with your DAD like Natalie Cole did with her dad net king Cole. How about "my whole world ended the moment you left me" or "walk Away from your love ? " will have t go back and check what your Dad sang with eddie.
@Gee2daRuff, I am still blown back Gee, What a tribute to all these singers, but this is a fraction of what he can do with his voice, I m in awe by this, have listened over and over last night and today, this was sent to my phone a few weeks ago and thinking he said he as singing Dennis part, NOT! JR is singing all of them!! Im just kinda struck back by it all, Esp Eddies part, I knew it sounded diff but thought is this Damon, cause thats the closest I've heard to Ed's! Just jAmazing!
David Ruffin Jr. is amazing. He sings all the parts and his voice is stellar. He needs to get in a recording studio and start laying down some tunes. He has the magic! Public and fans of his papa need to hear more from David Jr.
@marcellomimi Where have you been? David Ruffin, Jr. has 2 albums out now. All My Life which has been out for a while and can be purchased on either iTunes or Amazon, to name two sites. He also released a new album January 1, 2011 called Bloodline. Some awesome tunes on both albums by the way.
David has one of the best voices I have ever heard! EVER! His range, the emotion he puts behind it... everything! He has what the music industry has been lacking since the days of his daddy being a temptation!
That is Brill!! If I owned a Record company i'd be sure 2 have you ''SIGNED'' that is a gr8 tribute 2 the greatest singers an also in memory of your Dad!!! keep it going David Jnr!! an someone with taste from these Record companys will reconise your Talent/gift! as i don't know how or where they find/sign the singers/or crap songs from!!! when you want something Bad enough!! an from the Heart you will receive! God makes us wait untill the Time is Right the he Rewards us with our Hearts desires
I remember the day you first heard the comparison between you and your dad, you shared the same range.. you called me, very upset (in a good way) visibly shocked at how much you really did sound like your dad! REMEMBER THAT! I LOVE YOU D, NEVER THOUGHT IN A MILLION YEARS, THE DAY I SAW YOUR PICTURE AND WAS FINALLY INTRODUCED TO YOU, THAT I WOULD LOVE AND LIKE YOU SO MUCH!!! FRIENDS FOR LIFE OR LONGER!!!
WOW! The versatility and range here - David Ruffin, Jr. demonstrates is outrageous and RARE! Knowing the original version of this song, well, It totally, totally blows my mind. What an immense talent. Where do I sign up for the album???? Sing it, David!!!
"Jump Back and Kiss Yo Self David!"...So...when do the concerts begin? It is so nice to hear the old Motown cuts from the son of one of their finest. David you have the gift to carry on what your father wanted. "DO IT!" Keep the faith in yourself and God. Go On and continue to follow your dreams...let your talent flo...
