[dlastqueen]

[TheChocolateIndian]

WHO BUT MR. RUFFIN?

[kuwinsitall]

That is one huge ass green tie on the host!

[IrisMG]

The age of the blow-out and Afro Sheen. Can still smell that stuff. David looks good here. Don, on the other hand... um

[happyazz74]

I myself did not care to know about David habit, however did want to know why he left the Temtations. Now i know, too damn good.

[mjjcng8958]

@happyazz74 they would not let him be in the group and have a solo career. he wanted both motown wanted him to be solo

[icecolddude96]

@mjjcng8958 No, that's what Eddie Kendrick he wanted to both stay with the group and have a solo album but Barry Gordy didn't want him to have it because he did not kiss his ass. And David was fired because he was doing drugs which was messing with his ego and he wanted the group billed as David Ruffin and The Temptations because Diana Ross got the Supremes billed the same way.

[TheSHAWNC20]

Lip Singing here huh...

[antij1]

@TheSHAWNC20 Everyone lip-synced on Soul Train.

[MrBigpoppin51]

His vocals are unreal......WOW......I wonder hit those notes now days. I know trey songs wish he could.

[RochelletheRealtor]

Definitely not a common man.



[ubeenflagged]

i love this song...i wish i could be there with my girl

[blakemoody3]

dave is my favorite for real. but......dude should have "changed" his look for this one. inspiring little rick james' everywhere! =-)

btw this is just a joke people

[MsCharlesgreen]

David Ruffin was an still is the greatest of the temps. I don't feel that Otis Williams was fear with the movie. But even so David made the movie what it was. He was greate an I'll die a big fan if his. I love you David Ruffin an that will never change.

[jous1rufn]

Davis Eli Ruffin.. Jan.18,1941..Happy Birthday!! Never Forgotten..Forever Loved..Also, inducted into Hall of Fame on this date 1989..

[ApathetikDarko]

[dakari90]

Man why couldnt i have been born in the era where music was music i mean thy had david the Temps Smokey and the miracles Martha Reeves, Diana Ross, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding and the list goes on and on and who do i get as a 18 year old man now days....Lil Wayne lol times have changed

[ladyjae65]

@discoAL I'm dying laughing thinking of that scene in the movie. Is this where Eddie Murphy got his inspiration? Mmmm...

[TooRealForTV]

This dude hair is bigger than him. LOL. I loved the temptaions movie where he said " it should be called David Ruffin and the temptations." classic nigga shit.

[ladyjae65]

@TooRealForTV "Without me, ya'll ain't nothing but a group in search of a David Ruffin!" LMAO Why didn't Leon get an emmy for that line alone?

[ednoroirika]

[travelinman]

Full video anyone?

[djreelballer]

yeah this man had a extremely unique voice..... it's hard to put your hands of it. It just is..... Vocal control like no other

[rwk1983]

david loved coke........................ju­st look at his eyes in this video,i wish i could tell what was going on in his mind and feel what he was feeling during this (im sure none of the coke ive done (ive only done it a couple of dozen times by the way) can compare to the stuff he got to do in the 60s-70s (well maybe the fish skalls i sampled once but i doubt it) )

[Skyeler95]

Such an underrated song, so much talent in this man!

[jous1rufn]

David was in a category all by himself..His voice can never be compared to anyone!! He was "The Master"..

[Slimhost216]

i've been looking all over for this

[lubui2583]

what are some of his other good songs?

[lovealwaysdavid]

lubui2583, you know David had alot of good songs. Here are just a few of them. My Whole Ended, Walk away from love, Hurt the one you love, Let your love rain down on me, Break my heart and this one is Ruffin & Kendricks-One last kiss, Status of a fool and this one is with the Temptations-I could never love another after loving you, and the last one I miss you. But he has so many more songs that I believe would have made the top ten.

[lovealwaysdavid]

P.S. I am sorry the song My whole Ended, It should be (My whole world Ended).

[cowboys3000]

@lubui2583 Check out David Ruffin The Ultimate Collection. You can look for it at amazon. I love every track on that cd.

[soulpresident]

One of the Greatest Soul Singer of all Time!

[travelinman]
