- My tribute to David Ruffin. The best soul singer ever!! This was suppose to have been uploaded on June 1, 2011 the deathadversary of David Ruffin but it didn't upload correctly. But enjoy =)
I honestly believe he has the greatest voice ever recorded. Complex. Deep. Soulful, Full of pain and heartache, but gave me hope. I grew up with David Ruffin. I'm 65. I'm old. I'm a white guy. I saw David sing with the Temptations live 10 or more times. He is one of the greatest influences on my life. As are The Temptations. How much did we lose when this incredible talent left us the way he did?
i am just like you my fave in todats world he would have gotten more help like theses tattooed idiots today
You were so lucky to have seen him live. Was that with Temptations or afterwards with Eddy Kendricks?
I wholeheartedly agree with you, my brother.
You are one person who truly get it, thanks for your comment you get it.
I love this man, I've never had a negative
thought about him.When I see a video, or
pictures of David RUFFIN Jr. My heart
hurts for him, because I loved his father, he was definitely The G.O.A.T. REST IN
SOUL HEAVEN, Mr. DAVID RUFFIN!!!
.
I AGREE! THE MAN WAS TOTALLY GIFTED! HANDS DOWN!
THERE WILL NEVER EVER, BE ANOTHER LIKE, DAVID RUFFIN. HE, HAD IT ALL. I LOVE DAVID RUFFIN. GREAT TRIBUTE TO THIS VERY VERY TALENTED MAN.
Hi,how are you doing?
Just the absolute coolest. What a shame the kids today can't appreciate such artistry and talent.
David Ruffin is My Favorite Singer Of All Time!!! The Pain, The Passion, The Power & Soul in His Voice - They don’t sing like this anymore ...
Sing In Peace King David🎩
RIP David Ruffin (1941-1991) Greatest Singer in Motown History
2019 and we still love you, THE ONLY TRUE DAVID RUFFIN!!
This is lovely. My favorite soul singer.
Hi,how are you doing?
Beautifully done!!! Thank you!!! His memory lives on!
this was a wonderful tribute to one of the greatest singers that I have ever heard, thx.
I actually listened to two other versions of my girl, both soul legends, Marvin Gay & Otis Reading but in my opinion David has the best voice I have heard. I am so sorry that the drugs took a hold & his terrible death but you’re at peace now & your voice will live on forever
Yes the Temptations was my favorite R&B group too.I miss the original singers a teenager in high school at recess my friends would sing the Supremes songs. Gladeys knight,Marvin Gaye 's songs also. This occurred on the school bus. The driver didn't stop us,we were sitting in our seats. I think the bus driver enjoyed our voices harmonizing.
I love all the same voices you, do,difficult to chose
CLASSIC AND TIMELESS
His death was very sad to me , he just lost it , I went to see him, He was a perfect singer.. Even when he was high. RIP.
Hi,how are you doing?
david was a great singer i love the temptations movie

David Ruffin will always be the prelude to the interlude of the postlude of being David Ruffin...SALUTE💚🦋🦋
Love temps they were the first baby makers they have beautiful love songs they ruled the music back then
A gifted singer who left us too soon. I grew up with Motown in the Chicago Area. Davis Ruffin was blessed and thew it away on Drugs and influenced by negative People. As a result he beat up on and treated women like trash and died a painfull death. It was the kind of people who he looked up to that killed him.Life is a series of choices. RIP!
Did you know him personally? If not?
@@mercybutler3636 No read some of the things I read about him its sad on so many levels.
He didn't need studio enhancement.
There is NOTHING that could possibly enhance that voice.
There's no other voice that can beat David Ruffin's Voice. Not even Michael Jackson
Rob base it takes too
Rob Base it takes too
Best ever...
My heart carries a heavy load David is gone
It's truly sad the battle with the demons within!
The movie opened my eyes. No one will....
He was a Beast singing No one sounded like Him
David my Sweet LOVE You so very much I don’t see any faults I see a very SEXY Man whom I Love I no would have been good for you I no this you need someone who love un-conditionally I got so much Love for you RIP Darling👨❤️👨👑🎆🎇🌠💔🌞🔥☘️😇😎🎱😢
Hi,how are you doing?
THE TEMPTATIONS AND MY FAVORITES - FOUR TOPS - LEGACY OF THE MOTOWN GREATS . . .
it showed different stages of David Ruffin Life
Al Green once said it best. David Ruffin was one of the top 3 greatest soul singers that ever lived!
The other two?.Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson
Daryl Hall❤🎭 also
Yes yes he just touched your soul 😢
Tell me your trouble s🎉
Al Green brilliant singer too,seen him live .
Long live the voice , style and soul of David Ruffin cause My Girl and I wish it would rain lives in my heart forever..
me too
The incomparable voice!!... “The Great David Ruffin”
The difference between David Ruffin & Teddy Pendergrass is this: when Teddy sang, he often sounded like Marvin Junior from the Dells but no one sounded like David Ruffin for he was an original!
Robert Velez ...You're right, Robert! And both Ruff and Teddy Bear were heavily influenced by Marvin Junior.
Yes he is fine
You're right about that
No one He was the Real Deal
DAVID RUFFIN IS STILL A TRUE LEGEND AND I LOVE HIM FOREVER AND EVER.
Hi,how are you doing?
So do I.
Yes❤
Ruffin, Kendricks, Williams, Franklin, and Williams, there's enough talent there to stretch around the universe about a thousand times over.
True dat
HEY YOU MUST HAVE FORGOT ABOUT DENNIS EDWARDS AND GLEN LEONARD
@@darianbrown35 Facts, replace one of them Williams with Edwards.
There were some amount of jelousey becsuse of Davids exceptional talent
@@darianbrown35 Not Glenn you must be a relative
He is THE BEST what an incredible voice. What a sad ending to his life, I hope he’s at peace now, as well as Eddie Kendricks & Paul Williams.
Ohhhhhh my Goodness That Voice!! Whooooohooo Sing it David! 🎤🎙️💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
No one like Our David Ruffin...no matter how many years pass ...he is AN AWESOME KING !!! LIVE ON DAVID 💗💙💜💜💚
Thank you so much. YOU GET IT!
THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY MADE MY DAY.TALL, TALENTED, TANNED AND BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU GOD FOR THE MAGNANIMOUS MR. DAVID ELI RUFFIN!!!!
Hi,how are you doing?
I miss me some David Ruffin! He was such a talented and gifted man.
Uh you vhf
Couldn't stay away from the drugs.
All hail the greatest American Male vocalist. The #1 Voice.
I appreciated this video. There were some songs that I never heard. Beautiful voice, RIP David, now you are truly liberated from the drugs.
Hi,how are you doing?
I was looking through my 1968 high school annual. There was a page where you list your favorites at that time in your life. My favorite group The Temptations, my favorite singer, the great David Ruffins. It continues 50 plus years later.
DAVID RUFFIN, THE WHOLE WORLD REMEMBER YOU.... I LOVE YOU !!!!!
Happyy 77th Heavenly Birthday today - what a beautiful voice
Hi,how are you doing?
One of greatest vocies of all time David ruffin
Yes I agree
I think that David Ruffin was the greatest Temptation ever and hope that his soul rests in peace with our God, free from the addictions that he suffered upon this earth. Sing it RUFF, cuz NOBODY can do so like U can!!!!!!
When I see him singing right before he passed you could tell he was a sick man May he RIP Gone to soon
Aprilla'shel I like your tribute to David Ruffin. Well Done. Perfect Song compled w/perfect pictures.
"Statue of a Fool" towards the end of this video highlights the beauty of this man's voice...if the entire segment can be uploaded...please do it.
There's no doubt David Ruffin had one of the most unique and soulful voices I've ever heard. Hard to say he's the best as I'm sure there are others, one of my favorites right up there with David is Teddy Pendergrass, he also has a unique and soulful voices........I've seen ladies cry listening to Teddy sing. I think these two are right up there as the most soulful voices of all time.
Marvin gaye too x
Add Daryl Hall ❤
Another night listening and watching David Ruffin videos. My heart melts when I hear him singing. But it disgusts me that he died so much from drugs. He is my favorite singing artist of all time like I said his voice melts me. Thank you for these videos
Yes he was The Voice just like he said.
Melanie Bottorff , no what really is disgusting is people throwing dirt on DAVID RUFFIN. Whatever he did god is the only one to judge him. God gave us David for 50 years.
I did not check my auto correct. What I said was it disgusts me that they said he died from drugs. That’s what they portrayed and it made me sad.
Melanie Bottorff , I understand they sure did. They portrayed Eddie as a user as well. It’s awful funny how Otis showed himself to be such a saint. Every time I read about someone throwing dirt on David, Eddie or Paul, It really upsets me. Because god blessed us to have these talented singers in our lives for only a short time. I hate the video that Gina THE SIDE CHICK has out. She changed her last name to Ruffin after David died. He never married her, he only had a son with her. Then she has the nerve to say on her video that her son can sing better than David. I’m boiled down to a hot pan, when it comes to David, Eddie and Paul.
@@seekerone8368 I just learned she changed her name after he died. She referred to herself as his wife in the Unsung interview. I thought they were married. Bitter old Betty using his name for clout. I think there was a bit of envy in Otis. He couldn’t sing or move like David.
His voice was better on drugs and alcohol than people today.
Soulful elegant and very sweet voice that drew you in like sing it baby. Gone but not forgotten. Your sweet voice left many memories to last and last
THE GREAT DAVID RUFFIN.
He was one of the best.
David was the man! We'll always love you David!
U are right
Gone but never forgotten To the sounds of the Ruffin Brothers may both your souls be at peace and comfort.👼💔👼
The The temptations will always be my favorite singing group of all time!
He is the BEST!!!!
Thanks for creating and posting this tribute to David Ruffin. It was very nice, David Ruffin was my FAVORITE Temptation! I really wish someone would do David's Biopic, his life's story really needs to be told. Continue To Rest In Paradise Davis Eli Ruffin....

Benita Brown yea him and Eddie

Temptations were tall dark, handsome, and could dance their butts off.My kind
of guys.Thanks Mr. OTIS WILLIAMS
I
As David RUFFIN Jr. Said his father got
fame, But needed love.No one can tell me this man didn't have a good heart.
I didn't know personally but I'm from his
Generation, so I understand where he was coming from.we didn't walk in his shoes.REST IN SOUL HEAVEN MR RUFFIN.
Beautiful tribute. A very complicated man, that entertained many. Wishing we could have helped him with the demon of addiction. RIP David, never to be forgotten.
David Ruffin's was the most magical male voice ever, thank god we have people like you to keep our memories alive.

@sugarbaby567 THANKS FOR POSTING!!!!!! I TRULY ENJOYED IT!!!! I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF DAVID RUFFIN!!! PEACE AND LOVE TO A MAGNIFICENT TALENT!!!
People please.... stop.... trying to make comparisons!
The tall, tanned, talented TEMPTATIONS, will always be in a unique class of their own!
Their sense of style, dress, harmony, dance set the standards that today's artists try to emulate.
One by one, they've given so much to our collective memories, that we'll always remember them... and share!
I’ll neva eva forget those days..
Where is the tribute to Edward James Kendrick?
They do it comes up once in awhile.
THE MAN WITH THE VOICE MR.DAVID RUFFIN THE BEST U EVERY SEEN IN THE WORLD MR.D.RUFFIN GOD BLESS U MR.RUFFIN WE ALL MISS U.DARRELL RANDLE EVERY ONE WE SOUND JUST ALIKE BUT THERE ONLY ONE DAVID RUFFIN.
Greatest singer, ever, IMHO. I listen to him just about every day and his vocal range was phenomenal. Listen to Blackmail, One Lucky Day and In The Cool of the Night. From there, his phrasing, voice inflection, based on song needs was astounding. Career cut short by drugs, sadly, but can rest assured he's on the Mt. Rushmore of singers.
sleep well David Ruffin!!!! i
Hi,how are you doing?
Rest in peace
The music will always be remembered!! I'm 68 and still love the music. Takes me back!! God Bless 🙏👍
I AM FEELING SO EMOTIONAL AND VERY GRATEFUL THAT I HAVE ALL THIS MUSIC TRULY IM BLESSSED
Hi,how are you doing?
I miss you and I love you David ❤️💔 Ruffin
Greatest ever❤️
RIP, man I miss you
HIS VOICE WAS LIKE A DREAM! 🎼💖
THANK YOU,HE TRULY WAS THE BEST..A CLASSIC
Smokey is thr goat
@@janiskardash3868 please keep that to your self he can't touch Eddie or David
I love Smokey and he is great but there is just something extra about David That je ne sais quois I could listen to his voice endlessly ❤️
I play lonely hearts club over and over it is a masterpiece and lets you get the full effect of David's voice It brings chills and tears like statue of a fool❤❤❤❤
i'm loving this. hope to see more thanks! maybe one for The Dramatics
RIP DAVID RUFFIN
My number one. Greatest singer in the history of the world.
Greatest vocal singer of all time
Ruff took them to the pinnacle of sweet soul music, that forged their standing as the greatest male vocal group in history. That classic lineup including E. K., Paul, Melvin, and Otis will forever embody The Temptations. What came later was a different iteration in sound and style. Their legacy is not in the parade of replacement singers that lined up beginning in 1968, but in the foundation of these five talented and unforgettable artists. 👑🎸🎵
Well said apples and oranges two different groups with same name
que música mas linda , es mi favorita , tiempos que no bolberan
the best ever bar none.....
Wow!! David Ruffin was the BEST!! 2019 missing that mighty blessed voice. When David was murdered, his heart ached no more. True justice for the death of David Ruffin. 💯❤️
one of my fav singers.
I been listening to this man and to find that he is one of the few that comes around in a lifetime Luther vandross voice and Michael Jackson just some people just come around once in a lifetime David ruffin should have started his own he had the voice and talent
DAVID RUFFIN, THE KING OF KINGS !!!!!!!!
Raarotongaa Ruffin I had the pleasure of seeing Mr Ruffin along with the rest of the Temptations in the early 70's at Symphony Hall in Newark, NJ as a young teen. They were the greatest group by far i have ever seen. Their outfits, their smooth choreography and their harmony was so outstanding. I remember them singing all their greatest hits. In fact Mr Ruffin was my favorite. I still have their music. I will forever cherish those memories of seeing them in concert. I love you Mr Ruffin and not to forget all the Temptations... Rest in heaven.
Cheryl B Fuller : Are you sure David Ruffin was with the Temptations at the Symphony Hall in Newark, N.J. in 1970? Mr. Ruffin left this group in 1968. Explain your remark to me. Thank You, Cora HUDSON-GUICE
@@cherylbfuller387 Jesus Christ is the King of Kings don't compare a singers voice to our lord god
One of my top three favorite singers of all time. Too bad his demons overpowered him in the end. What talent!
The best Soul singer ever!
Thanks for posting. This is nice...real nice.
One of my favorite groups
I love love love this guy I have his album holiday songs Just him along his voice is just awesome🙏💕💕💕💕💕🐝
a very troubled man who gave the world much.
Powerful & Great lead singer...
