  • This song demonstrates the ultimate power of David Ruffin, his ability to deliver lyrics of a destroyed man who lost love, while performing the way he did was remarkable. The showmenship of standing like a statue during the song brought out his style of telling a story of a broken heart like no other. To say that his solo career was lacking is foolish, all he needed was for Smokey Robinson to write some songs for him after he left the Tempts.

  • Seeing this performance is probaly the sadest I have ever seen this man perform before, what is so amazing the song is a great tune and he gives it a meaning that shows his pain at that time during his life. David Ruffin was the greatest representative of Motown male singers, Marvin was great too, but different in his own way, and many people would say he was better than David, however, David sang more hits than Marvin. David could produce his raw and mellow sound and give you quality.

  • Like they said voice never I repeat never duplicated...the most unique voice ever, one that can be felt as well as heard. He gave a piece of him his soul with each song , the absolute greatest David Ruffin. Rest in peace, love, and soul

  • Yes

  • David Ruffin one of the greatest of all times.Even though you felt your career didn't blossom the way you wanted it to. Your career did blossom the way God wanted it to, because the music you left is priceless. No one ,I repeat no can sing a song like you. So I say to you Rest In Peace, because you gave each song you sanged 300% and no one can take that away from you. You were simply the best. I love you much and always, I could never love another after loving you.

  • A Voice never Duplicated --

  • David's a legend, nuff said. Rest in peace.

  • 3:18 was kinda funny

  • chills

  • @abjuttie All he needed to do was get on his knees and as God to take away the drugs!

  • This is David at his best, he saved his best for last. My fav. singer of all time. If God has a choir in heaven David is singing lead with Marvin, Barry, Eddie, Teddy, Sam, Nat, Sammy, Paul, Donnie, Willie, James, Johnny, Jackie, and Michael Jackson. Thats how great David was in my book. You guys hold it down until I can get my ticket to see the worlds greatest choir.

  • Woww! Teary eyed after this, David Ruffin was singing this from his heart for real. Amazing!
