Ain't nobody comin' to see you, Otis! You wish you could work it the way I do, but you can't! Because there is only one David Ruffin. And without him, the Temps ain't nothin' but a group in SEARCH of a David Ruffin. Matter of fact, I been thinkin'. We should call the group David Ruffin And The Temptations

[BruhMan09]

@MusicandDancing4Ever I agree with you all the way. I respect Otis for his contributions to make the Temptations one of the greatest groups. I also feel he takes WAY TOO MUCH credit and always seems to downplay the importance of David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, and Dennis Edwards. In his book and the movie he made those guys look like selfish prima donnas with bad attitudes. With three ex-wives and 20+ tempt members, Otis is the last person who should judge anybody

@Yamcharotto

The movie was great.

@mynig4life You're talking nonsense. Whilst David was an incredible singer, you're forgetting that Paul Williams was the original lead singer whose voice was arguably more powerful than David's, not mention Eddie Kendricks who sang most of the songs on arguably their best album "Temptin' Temptations".

@Yamcharotto Correction: It's not "just the movie." It's from people who've known and worked with him past and present--a few of whom I'm personally in touch with.

[Yamcharotto]

@blewis9505 hey thats just the movie and the movie sucked because they didn't protray the characters correctly

[blewis9505]

Ots' personal life is as trashy as his personality. It's "my way or the highway." He's egocentric and greedy. Granted he made vocal choices that kept "that" sound through the years so he gets credit. But for being an all around good guy? Nope. For being fair and shareing the wealth? Nope. For looking out for the group members in a teamlike spirited fashion? Nope. Maybe that's why the women in his life are no longer interested nor do they care about him. Lonely, fat, greedy old man he is. ;/

THANK YOU for posting this beautiful Tribute to such a beautiful talent.I agree we should come to the site to show RESPECT not to hurt with words..One thing about Dennis he always mention that it was such a privilege and honor to have sung with such a talented group of men. I respect him for that more than a movie To Mr. Ruffin's family, We love him and we THANK YOU for sharing his talent and memories with us. David was the best,he will always be a TEMPTATION! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID !-18-12 RIP

truly a gifted singer, his music will live forever.

David Ruffin was one in a million. Best singer...ever. Leon did an excellent job portraying him. At least I think so. I miss the Tempts. Days gone by. Life is slippin' away. "My Girl "will be my favorite song for the rest of my life.

David Ruffin was and is a great singer. He was truly a joy to hear the soul in his voice. May he finally be at peace.
