I was lucky enough to see him a few years before he passed. Such an incredible talent. Sad that he never reached his full potential due to his ego and addiction problem. I hope he’s found the peace that seemed to be out of his reach in this existence.
@@isiahgatson7409 that, I don't know. But his voice was awesome. I was born in 1950, my only son in 1981. When the Temp's Box collection of CDs were released in the 90s my son wanted it. Man I had forgotten how good they could sing.
I was in Pennsylvania when David Ruffin died I was 5 years old and I remember my dad was crying I never saw my dad cry until that day rest in peace to David Ruffin and my pops
I love Eddie Kendrick he had a beautiful voice and nobody could sing like him and you could tell Eddie Kendrick voice and he was the best looking one in the group he look good sing good and dressed good and he was humble and a player and very charming
My mom always said When I was growing up that my dad was the sixth temptation... I never understood until after they both were gone. He was born February 16th of 1950. Back then things were very different than they are now... Like the only way I can understand it, is off a scene from the outsiders. Either work out your Differences in a street fight, or a dance off of some type I guess. This is my new favorite channel on YT right now. And all I gotta say is keep'em coming brother!!! You're great at whT you do!!!
Walk away from love perfectly describes me scared to love again after being heartbroken so many times in my life he had a voice that will never be duplicated . Thanks for this great channel it is very enjoyable informative and entertaining keep up the great work I've learned a lot about some of my favorite celebrities in such a short time.
The Temptations were, besides Marvin Gaye, Motown’s greatest singing groups and when David Ruffin was lead singer, that’s when The Temptations were at their best!!!!! I saw them at the Murray the “K” shows at the Brooklyn Fox Theater in 1964 and 1965; memories I will never forget ❤!!!!!!!!!!!
The song i like the most from him and remember hearing growing up is "My Whole World Ended" What a song, they need to play it more on the oldies stations 💿
He was packed full of talent but couldn't shake his demons. Good tie in for the video you made of Tammy. Have you done Bon Scott? I was in highschool and I remember 1980 like it was yesterday. We lost Bon Scott, John Bonham and John Lennon.
these guys ccx were the Powder Keg of Motown. A hard drive of a group. These guys is equvalent to a Ford 350 truck with 4X6 wheels and extended cab. Tempations forever. 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎙📻
I recently danced with my daughter to my girl on her wedding day it's been our song since she was in diapers we also choreographed the original moves and being a drummer way back in my late teens I always wanted to sing never had the nerve to do sing karaoke 🎤 so i sang the verse " I don't no money fortune or fame putting on my reading glasses that David wore which nobody especially millenniums didn't have a clue what I was doing paying tribute to one of the great singers of motown..
I seem to remember that Daryl Hall & John Oates either paid for him to be buried or were major contributors so that he could have a decent burial. They appeared together on “live at the Apollo”, which is one of D & J’s albums. Ruffin and the Temptations were major influences on Daryl & John. It’s so sad what happens to some of these talented people.😢
Actually it was Michael Jackson Hall & Oates and Diana Ross help pay for David Ruffin's funeral and burial but Daryl Hall and John Oates bought the tombstone
Some people never actually hold on to their blessings. David had a troubled Spirit and he could not control. David was the temptation, when you see the group on stage all you focused on was David. Hope his Spirit is at peace.
I styled my character “Eddie King Junior”, after DR. He completely inspired me. Had it not been for him, I don’t think there’d been an Eddie. R.I.P. King! MDW-
@EdCollects it's OK the info you passed on was respectful, factual and well spoken. Anyone who's a true fan of music knows that there's usually a dark side. Thanks for posting. 😇🙃
As the life experiences of Mr David Ruffin are shared during his Heavenly Birthday Month, do tell What High School did he attend? Was he living with Mr Eddie Bush when he went to high school?
I don't know why but u really dont hear voices like David's anymore maybe its bc of the production nowadays still 1 of the best male soul singers ever recorded to me anyway 🤷🏾♂️
Regardless and even though he was a badass singer, man could’ve been in the books but he got messed up, he was a problem though in a complimentary way as in BEAST
Not necessarily the lead vocalist of the temptations. Because if you ever watch the movie temptations comma you see that david ruffin while he didn't make it
What an amazing voice he had.
Yeah, he was an amazing singer!
Oh yes an Ay Voice- sad But Cocaine Will Kill you
" THAT MAN COULD BLOW ;🎙️
He made all those eyeglasses look good.
So much style, he was amazing!
He sure did!😁😁🌹👍
Those glasses are back and I'm wearing a pair now..😂

Chances are he ain't in peace
@@isiahgatson7409 only God knows that.
@@justanadams9430 if he didn't repent then hell is where he went
Damn I can’t remember shit when I was 5. Toast to your memory
@@sixmillion977 I've been a pothead for over 20 years and I remember alot of events
Greatest voice ever to come out of Hitsville, so sadly missed.
I grew up in the 60's I was in love with David Ruffin
Get in line.
Me too
You and every woman over 40. ❤
I love Eddie Kendrick he had a beautiful voice and nobody could sing like him and you could tell Eddie Kendrick voice and he was the best looking one in the group he look good sing good and dressed good and he was humble and a player and very charming
He was the blueprint for every singer that came behind him.

Oh wow, thank you for the kind words! 🙏🙏👊
The Temptations had several lead singers. David Ruffin was an amazing artist, the same for Eddie kendricks and Paul Williams and Dennis Edwards.
Poor guy David Ruffin 😢 He died from drugs.He is sorely missed❤❤❤ rest in ✌️, paradise , peace ❤❤🎉🎉
Yeah sad way to go out. He was a great singer.
@@EdCollectshe really was!
David was the man long gone but
never ever forgotten! from Detroit we still love the memories

He was as such a awesome singer such a sad and unnecessary death. ❤️🔥🕊️
David Ruffin was an incredible singer. 👏

Amazing talent!!! I love listening to him sing!!!
He was beyond amazing! 🙏👊
RIP 💐 🙏 David Ruffin ❤ 🕊 🇵🇭
👊🙏
HE DEFINITELY HAD ONE OF THEM SPECIAL VOICES!!!!!!!! RIP DAVID!!!!!!!!!!
He will always be my favorite singer, his voice made you wish you could sing like him
I can see why he went after Tammi Terrell.
Yeah me too, she was hot!
She was BUT he also used to beat her in the head….. she passed because she had a tumor and he was said to blame himself for her death.
She also died young, of a brain tumor.😢
@@randomlyUNiiQUEI think JB hit her with a helmet on the head. Not Ruffin, although he did not treat her much better.
He was packed full of talent but couldn't shake his demons. Good tie in for the video you made of Tammy. Have you done Bon Scott? I was in highschool and I remember 1980 like it was yesterday. We lost Bon Scott, John Bonham and John Lennon.
Right! I wish he could find the help he needed. He wasn't very nice to Tammi but I left the abuse out of his video. I didn't have time.
Almost everybody with the best voices died to early. Not everybody but many.
these guys ccx were the Powder Keg of Motown. A hard drive of a group. These guys is equvalent to a Ford 350 truck with 4X6 wheels and extended cab. Tempations forever. 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎙📻
Oh heck yeah, they were the best!
“Walk away from love” is my favourite, what a voice👌🏻
I remember him an amazing singer. I have seen the mini series on t.v. before the u.t. & other cell phone stuff. I had the V.H.S 2 part movie. 🤟
He was amazing!
R.I.P. Dave you were before my time but im a fan❤
🙏🙏👊
David Ruffin had a beautiful singing voice ❗🎶❤
The Temptations = Legends ⭐ 💕
To Much "Snow Treats" What Away to Go,... RIP, D.R. !!!!

@@EdCollects 👊🏾👊🏾
I remember him growing up in Detroit as a young girl he was definitely gifted. Sad his life ended like it did
Very young to leave us so soon! Rip I hope you are healed 😢
What a voice, but what a tragic fall. Ego kills.
He had a fabulous voice! Darn drugs got to him! So sad! I loved the Temptations but boy were they awesome with Ruffin as lead vocal!
Yes, I liked them the most when he was singing with them!
How about Jackie Wilson?? What happened to JW??
He was awesome also, he's on my list to make a video of.
David took it all
Fun/crazy fact--> Michael Jackson paid for his funeral.
& Jackie Wilson’s.
I didn't know that! 👊
Rest in peace brother what a talent

Yeah I heard something like that but I can't remember the details. I wish David could have surrounded himself with people who really cared about him.
Actually Michael Jackson help paid for David Ruffin funeral because he helped pay for Marvin Gaye's funeral also
Hall & Oates bought his tombstone
Actually it was Michael Jackson Hall & Oates and Diana Ross help pay for David Ruffin's funeral and burial but Daryl Hall and John Oates bought the tombstone
Le meilleur des temptations David ❤❤❤
I just got in from watching Ain't Too Proud - The Life and Times of The Temptations! What a singer!

Ruffin no bulffin
Sad...
May he rest in peace
