this is a beautiful song and david ruffin and eddie kendricks voices cannot be any more perfectly suited to it.

when they hit the airwaves with Cloud 9{DennisEdwards} you knew he could take them there, all the way to Masterpeice and beyond, he had that swagger

[KangolQ]

@ghrjr1 No, and that's sad that their talent wasn't recognized earlier. But then again, there were a lot of good groups and solo artists during those days. It's okay though, Temptation fans still love all of David and Eddie's songs just as much, if not more, than when Dennis was on lead.

@nutothis1 Can't wait for unsung dad Ruffin..he still always will be my man he and Eddie ...smooth rip to these guys .david voice was the shit

[nutothis1]

@MrNostalgiaX That was the drugs that caused David to age the way he did. But as you said, as far as singing, David never lost it. Check him out on Unsung. I can't wait.

@ww20nysms I wiish I could've seen that. Although the rest of them had their issues with David, I know that deep down, they were all still brothers, and always considered David still part of the family.

@MrNostalgiaX The drugs tore his looks and body apart................

[ghrjr1]

[ghrjr1]

dennis carried them farther than david could

[sloansv]

I never, ever could see Dennis in the same league as Dennis Ruffin or Ollie Woodson..guess it's just a personal taste. His voice was just forceful.

What was this from?

[Kalibur9]

I agree...David was the man but I loved them all...Lol

[MrNostalgiaX]

Man, David was always my favorite Temptation, hands down. He always was. The only drawback to him as a Temp was that he aged very badly. The crazy thing was that though he aged badly, his voice was solid at 50 as it was at 24. I am a singer myself and always hope every time I sing somewhere that I can still sing at 60 like I can now at 26. God bless David Ruffin. He led a very rough life, but he was pure talent.

[ww20nysms]

Has anyone ever seen the Temps singing at David's wake or funeral? I saw it once on a latenight channel shortly after his death. The raw emotion was too much but... I'd love to see it again. They could barely go on with the song.........
