DAVID RUFFIN JR does a snippit of DAVID RUFFIN

[naamahnaamah1]

If u can't c that man looks like his Daddy something is wrong seriously.His voice has those same chills..it's been stamped by an Old Skool Diva from that era!!!!! Luv u so much David.I hope that u will perhaps work on putting out a biography of ur father, he has never ever received the proper that was due 2 him as an artist that shook the sound of Motown with his voice and seductive essence and just as a person period. They have always gave more life 2 his down side. Keep on Truckin Baby!!

[gys2gether]

Thanks for keeping the memories and good music alive. Keep doing what you do!!!!!!

[PoetryManDC]

David Ruffin Sr. is my Favorite Singer of all time… I don't envy the weight you must carry Brother - but I'm Happy knowing that you are Sangin' Too ;o) - Stay up David Ruffin Jr. and to your King Father, Sing In Peace!!!

[desertdetroiter]

Shit, you're alright with me Ruff Jr....keep doing your thing. I'm glad your mom told it like it was in her book (i read it), and the fact is both sides of every story should be told. I know it aint easy to be the son of a legend, but you're making the best of it and forging your own path. Best to you and your family.

[dalcowb]

You need to be in the Temptations. Its your birth right.

[ddland45]

Honestly, the quality of this video was bad so I can't make a realistic judgement on whether Ruffin Jr. was any good or not. I heard Paul Williams Jr and he sounds incredibly like his father. I also would like to know (if they aren't) why Paul Jr. and David Jr. are not recording together or if either has a friendly relationship with Otis Williams? It sure would be nice if they could get together with the remaining ORIGINAL Temp and do some kind of tribute album. Is this possible guys?????

[HipNoticQ]

My God, you sound and look just like your father! Keep up the good work!

[bernitajsykes1]

EVEN WITH THE POOR QUALITY YOU SOUND SO CLOSE TO YA DAD...WOW. CAN YOU SAY REMIX...SANG YUNG RUFF....YA DAD AD THE REST OF THE FELLAS WOULD BE PROUD OF YA SOUND. KEEP IT COMING.

[mikeyp8901]

why arent u and paul williams jr getting together to record?

[thesherwoodlife]

I wish the quality was tolerable

[darlaa91]

There was only one David Ruffing !!!!

[SuperGumby1960]

This man David Ruffin Jr has a GREAT!! voice. As a lead vocalist I can say I appreciate great talent, U my friend have it.

[MrNathan791]

of course there will never another voice like ruffin sr.

[MrNathan791]

the audio wasn't that good,but from what heard he sounds like his father. others on here who's trying to be mean. you need to encourage this young man. with all this mess that's pass for music now days . Jr. here is refreshing.

[MrTrumanBrain]

It's great to hear music about love and emotion instead of poppin caps in people! And to top it off, by the son of a true artist! Good for you David, keep them coming and keep the music alive! I'm sure your Dad is having trouble getting his pride out the door with you. :)

[Sixstrings81]

Those Ruffins sure can sure sing songs

[Wenderss106]

I just happened to stumble across this again while watching videos of the temptations and I can't believe all the hate going on here! If you people had any life of your own, then you wouldn't worry about being negative and hateful towards Jr. You don't like what he is doing? Why are you here leaving nasty messages and comments?? Just walk away! Are you all that miserable in your own lives? Go find something to do where somebody might actually give a shit, I support Jr 10000000%

[rodolfofariasjr]

Wow, I wasn't aware Ruffin had a singing son. This is too beast.

[GrandRuffian]

@rodolfofariasjr Yeppers...and Thank You!

[rodolfofariasjr]

@GrandRuffian No, thank you!

[mj3t1]

I don't think you sound exactly like your dad... i think thats a beautiful thing because while you can give tribute to your dad you can also be your own voice.. thats awesome... keep up the great work..

[rodney123l]

WOW Brother,, You sound just llike your pops.. Thought there was only one, but there is a second voice. Keep up the great work... GOD BLESS.... BE ENCOURAGED...

[MsMosington]

Loved it David! Keep it up!

[Nahdiyyah]

Thank you David (Jr) for sharing your talents with us. Sadly there will always be haters in this world of ours..they are here only to make you stronger. I have been a fan of your father since 1966 along with The Temptations. While you can never be David Ruffin, you are nonetheless the offspring of David Ruffin and with that includes his talent of song. I pray for your success in the future..get in a studio get some music laid on a cd and see how fast it takes off...May God Bless you always.

[iheartpowertrips]

The sound quality is terrible but other than that you sound really good (from what I could hear)

[SpinDoctor91]

@iheartpowertrips

i totally agree.

[1955jedi]

if anyone is entitled to do a cover it's him..no he's a different singer than his dad, but geez no one else is like him either

[TIERRAchilds]

whoa props to him...in his position i might have cried lolz ....good cover....im sure he's proud....along with millions of others!!! XD

[travler22]

I think someone should express a little pride in this young man for following HIS dream ... not so much his father's footsteps. Face facts, though the genetics are there .. Sr. was simply unique. Jr. is making his own way with his own sound. Period.

[rodeshac]

All you people need to stop posting negative things on this man page. To make the record clear he does have a great voice he does not have to sound like his father to make you guys happy. If you don't like what you hear don't look him up no more, there must be something he is doing right for you to kept coming to his page. To David kept doing what you do your going to the top. No matter what you guys think of him., he will always be David Ruffin Jr.

[LS4]

Great Job

[mjjcng8958]

you sound good as yourself. you are not your father so no need to compare, but the fact is you did ok.

[francisMHwhite89]

love it!

[DancingOtaku]

That was a very good cover. That song was my favorite, and still is to this day. Like father like son. Your old man would be very proud of you, good sir!

[TheBatmanwayne]

I THINK YOU SING LIKE YOUR DAD DAVID RUFFIN JR IS A AWESOME SINGER JUST LIKE HIS DAD KEEP IT UP

[cando4]

If David is your Dad I saw him LiVe in PGH Pa at the Sherdiean Sq back in 64 with the original Temps...I heard him sing that song "The Way You Do the Things You Do" it was the hit...I got everything the Temps made and got big restect gor them...they played the Square because they were not allowed to be booked downtown in n64...times have changed but no one will ever make better music...

[jazzruff]

Damn Bro you killin this song your pops would be proud!!!

[GrandRuffian]

DAYUMMMM!!! (who's really a wannabe).....I will allow this hate to remain on my pages, so not only can my children be aware of who you are for their futures, but so your children can be proud of you as well! I hope to change ur hating views on my offerings as well one day! If not, I will remember why.....but care no more, DAVID "like it or not" RUFFIN JR!

[GrandRuffian]

To the people who insist on making a fool of either of us? I understand that ur love for my Father, runs so deep and the contempt for my Mother even deeper. So I will filter out your inability to "bite your lip", as opposed to the unnecessary bs that comes out of ur grill as hateful. I do understand that the FANATIC in us all, just gets a little out of control every now & then. (or some just don't have any training or respect for the readers, students of music, fans and most importantly, FAMILY)

[Marc82193]

@GrandRuffian Man I don't care what ppl say You sound great I still enjoy your father's work I came on to watch Common Man and stumble by this video keep Honoring your father's work.

[greenlion009]

Yes, Man....you've GOT it...but, for God's sake, get a manager!

[piksy2]

YEAH YEAH YEAH THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT HE SOUNDS LIKE WHO -----DAAAADDY!

[PMAC10128]

Normally I would say that no one should even bother singing a song that was originally sung by David Ruffin (Sr). The Temptations should have changed their name after he left. The group with out him is false advertising. Out of curiosity I listened to this "snippet", sounds like his son inherited more than just the name!

Finally some one who can do his father's songs justice. Why don't we hear more from him?

[davidandeddie]

This gives me chills. I love DRJ's voice and I would love to hear him add a medley of his dad's classics to his own hit list! Keep doing what ya doing, D Ruff!

[williams666ify]

you can say wat u want butt the man can sing

[bossyblufox]

You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time. BUT you can't please all of the people all of the time. RESPECT the LEGACY... He sings cause thats what he knows. He toured w/the Tempts as a babe. I hear alotta folks jumpn on bandWagons. Do ur research he's all over the internet...THEN... if you MUST... JUDGE him. Imma DieHard Legacy FAN!! Like Father Like Son PERIOD!

[bossyblufox]

Im a HUGE TemptsFAN however a lot of the reason David Sr had that raspiness everyone is referring to was due to certain things he was ingesting into his system by way of mouth. DavidSr was gifted. He had an amazing stage presence & there will NEVER be anotha artist like him JUST "entertainers" that are inspired by him. DavidJR is a COMPLETEartist -U heard his ALBUM?Hv u SEEN him PERFORM4real? Writer/producer/engineer! HV u heard this DUDES falsetto?(musta got tht from growin up around Eddy-AMazN

[Wenderss106]

wow! what is with all the hate on this video?! David Ruffin Jr is amazing and I love the fact that he sang one of his dad's songs. DRJ is a wonderful person with a ton of honest God given talent. Will there ever be another David Ruffin? No but his son is going to be known around the world, not based on his dad's legacy, but by his own footsteps.

[jwh1999]

Sorry but he's destroying his dad's legacy, all sons can't follow in dad's steps

[trm1011]

I wish he would never try and sing again!!

[mynig4life]

There will never be another David Ruffin!!!!!!!!

[hopediamond4real]

Go on and work that, Dee!!!!

[tyronescrush]

October 2010....Mr. David Ruffin, Jr....many pleasant memories of your performances, singing, hand-holding and autographs at the Warner Theatre, in Washington, DC. Thanks for the pics and kisses.

Love, jayehoney's poetry (Claudette Reid)

[magicdancer32208]

Genna Sapia Ruffin is David Jr's Mother, Tammi Terrell no relation to this man!

[OriginalTemptations]

Please dont screw up this song again

[HaliB75]

@OriginalTemptations Why are you doing this to him????

[LaDiaFerguson]

you sound like your dad.

[agochoa]

Its a good homage to his dad, but no he doesnt sound anything like his David sr. His dad had that soulful raspiness. David jr doesnt have anything unique about his voice that I feel puts him above the rest like his dad.

[knightd12]

This guy sounds nothing, let me repeat that....He sounds NOTHING like David Ruffin. Nor does he look anything like David. Maybe he too after his mother...I don`t know. A DNA test comes to mind.

Anyway, just because your daddy could sing, doesn`t mean that you can. By the way, I`m the worlds biggest Temptation fan.  Just telling it like it is.

[ranmae57]

lol, who is his mother? if it's tammi terrell she could sing too!

[knightd12]

Noooo his mama wasn`t Tammi. That was Marvin Gaye`s woman...remember? lol

[DandJRuffin]

She was wit David Ruffin too ...

[knightd12]

@DandJRuffin ; You are right, She was with David for a minute. They were also engaged....until she found out that David forgot to tell he he was already married!  But the fact remains, Junior can`t sing any better than I can. And I can`t sing at all. Now I ain`t mad at him. But he needs to get a JOB just like the rest of us. His musical career is going No Where. :)

[HaliB75]

@knightd12 Tammi was David's woman but Tammi had no children.

[Domini478]

@ranmae57 That isn't his mom! Ole dumb butt! Tammi didn't have no kids!

[Domini478]

@knightd12 shut your hating ass up!

[knightd12]

@Domini478 The truth hurts......don`t it? The only thing I hate is shitty music and ass wipes like you! Have a great day. :)

[cudderrr]

@knightd12

judging by your gay ass 90s gospel shit im pretty sure that these guys were one of the creators soul music so now you can listen to your gay ass 90s gospel due to these guys(:

[uubnex4]

the sound was a bit ruff get it ruff,RUFFIN

[emytad]

Take it from a Temptation fan from the day, i hear a hint of David Ruffin Sr. in his voice. He should keep singing.

[DandJRuffin]

I agree. In other (better) recordings he sounds a little more like his father. Although he can't compete with Ruffin sr., he actually sings pretty well imo. I

[knightd12]

I have heard him in other recordings also. And the clearer his voice gets, the worse he sounds. does it sound like I resent 'no talen' t kids trying to make a living on on their parents reputations? Of course I do. lol

Oh yeah, I enjoyed my visit to your Blog. Its very well done.

[Vincent50]

David Jr. sounds very good. Its bad that we all seem to compare the child singer with their parent who was a singer/star. Give David Jr. his props. He's his own singer and he's not tyring to sound like his dad. So many children of stars have to work hard to find their own identity and self and its not easy when folks keep comparing them. Keep up the good work David Jr.

[ranmae57]

well natlie cole could sing, gerald levert could sing, but shawn couldn't, and whitney houston can sing!

[bobmarley965]

Ok, some of us dont like him but do we really need to be unkind?

Lets show some love.

[nitamayi]

stick to your own songs. You sound nothing like david ruffin,sr

[chokoboy5578]

he doesnt sound just like his dad his dad had a lil more bass n was more ruff n gruff thats y they call him ruffin lol but it was gud u should add more soul 2 ur voice 4 songs like that 1 more thing if n when u where single did u get mad pussy wit that voice i could image girls takin off there panties cuz u sang 2 them

[gypsybucket01]

youre right its not dave sr but it close enuff

[cougar11c]

Thx for this snippet of David, Jr. Yes, he sounds very much llke his dad, except that he doesn't seem to have the range his dad had when he's trying to hit high notes. But I apprerciate his efforts and wish him well on a prosperous career.

[n0gar]

He only has about 2/3 worht of soul though...

[mrarches]

crap sound recording/

[ShonniePooh73]

Loved it! He sounds alot like his dad. Would love to hear him sing more tributing his dad and even some of his original music. He's gifted.

[smooththoughts]

WOW OMG LIKE DADDY LIKE SON

[ongshili]

awesome, the sound was a bit rough but your voice is awesome..

[pabankhead1]

A "Reflection" of God's "goodness". This man sounds just like his Father...... You can't stop a dream once god is in the mix.....Keep doing your music "King"......

Good Luck in your "Future endeavors"... Love your sound, it brings back "memories.......

[elsiebea]

Wow! Loved it! Amazing job, hope he keeps doing some of his dad's songs in all his performances. He did that song so well that I didn't even so much mind the fuzzy audio...

[chuckiedavidson]

He does sound a lot like his dad

[gittahfiend]

the apple dont fall far from the tree!

[msgee62]

your certainly right there.

[PaTudie]

Jr. looks alot like dad.

[devax1986]

I wanna hear walk away from lvoe by jr!

[BIGJOEDAPOET]

Should sing more songs from your dad, great job.

[catheyeluvsmusic]

God Bless you Baby-- make your Daddy proud.

[onmyway32]

Wow, that way great! You've got David Sr.'s pipes for sure!!!

[PrinceOfSoulMusic]

Great Job buddy!

[niecy619]

sound check please..was something wrong with your mike?

[hassafwaka]

the person recording was clearly too close to the speaker

[hitsville4ever]

hey...this is mr motown from myspace...good job. love that song
