Motown Family and Friends Remember
Soul Great David Ruffin June 1st 2011
Marking the 20th anniversary of his death.
By Larry Buford
"Has it been that long?" said broadcaster Tavis Smiley when I mentioned that we're coming up on the 20th anniversary of the death of David Ruffin. I affirmed and proposed that perhaps he could do a show about one of the most influential voices in contemporary music history. Ruffin who was a solo singer before joining Motown's mighty The Temptations, came on the national and international scene as lead singer on their first Pop hit "My Girl".

It appeared he died so young until you remember he lived at least three lifetimes at the speed of life he was living. He will continue to survive in peoples memories forever. Jerry laFavor, Drummer

Gone too soon, David, but you left a musical legacy that assures that you will never be forgotten and you definitely are "...here to stay". You've been gone for 20 years, and we still come here looking for you. And in another 20 years your fans will be here looking for you!!
