David Ruffin had a pure voice. And he put his heart and soul into his songs. And he's one of the reasons why The Temptations were very successful. We miss you David and will continue to honor your memory. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
AGREE 💯💯💯
David Ruffin put so much heart and raw passion in his music. I don't hear his music, I feel it. I'm moved and captivated by his sultry baritone, his sweet falsetto and his piercing screams. There are baritones that compare to his but not one has his versatility. I'm well aware he was a character and had his flaws and some will never forget or forgive that but you can't deny he was one of the best that ever graced the stage....
So good and true
A sad yet awesome singer/performer…
He was truly BLESSED 🙏
The beast are often tortured ⚔️😞
In 1975,
he had a last major hit called,
“Walk Away From Love”.
Thanks For Watching
@@WBPTV the only reason he changed his name to his is because he was arrested for child abuse I don't know its a big ass mystery about this so called son of his
Ain't no one can replace David Ruffin , he and Eddie kendricks were my all time favorites🙏💔
What about Dennis Edwards he was especially to talented and a real pro at his Craft, I don't think we can ever even come close to the mighty Temptations or the Stylistics or The OJAY'S, and Sly and The Family Stone,
Ain’t Nobody Coming To See You Otis 😂😂😂😂 I Love That Part
I fell out laughing when saw the movie he said that .. OMG
Shit...he was only bein' honest! 😅🤣😂
😂😂
That's right Otis whatever you say Otis 😆
I love that part .... and when he turns around and ran to the car my daughter said he gonna cry when he get in the car I had to laugh but I Loved the Temptations
David Ruffin had a big hit during the mid 70’s, “Walk Away From Love”.. It was No. 1 and the biggest hit of his solo career. I love that song!
Me too, showed his incredible range ❤️
Indeed, the performance at Soul Train with this song is so special
Substance Abuse had destroyed so many lives. Rest In Peace David Ruffin through your music legacy will live on
sad but true
There will never be another David Ruffin legendary man hands down!!
Thanks For Watching ❗️
@California Girl no way legendary man
The Greatest Soul Singer Ever
@@sinfulthep773 😉
@Linda Hines 😂🤣😂yes he was!
So handsome, very difficult life. What a singer, I miss David. Thank you for this video.
David Ruffin, a singing voice you can always listen to, the best, the best, the best.
Thanks For Watching ❗️
His voice was mesmerizing..
Thanks For Watching ❗️
YASSSS! 👍
David Ruffin was a classic and tragic example of how having a rough childhood really dictates your outlook forever downward. Nobody ever fully heals from those scars. Rest In Peace, Ruffin.
*rough childhood
I had the same up bringing maybe worse than Ruffin . Comes a time to stop blaming others and take responsibility for your own actions.
David Ruffin is my absolute favorite Temptation. Since l wear glasses, I’m partial to this singer anyway. Rolling Stone has hailed his voice as one of the greatest music voices of the 20th Century. He is deeply missed by me.
Thanks For Watching ❗️
Ruff was a one-of-a-kind talent. He gave the Temps “their voice.” In their super years 1964-1968 the Temps probably never would’ve achieved their success. It was during those super years that help put Motown on the map.
David Ruffin forever a LEGEND. RIP
I'm so proud and honored to be facebook friends with his son David Ruffin Jr... David Sr was the epitome of smoothness... Yet his raspy voice was so soulful and strong... Rest in paradise big brother ✌💗
Thanks For Watching ❗️
David Ruffin is the best singer I admire the most his voice was so powerful no wonder Marvin Gaye loved Ruffins voice.
So many things were misunderstood at that time.. he did the best he could with his struggles. An amazing, beautiful talent. Great video 💕
That's right Otis. Whatever you say Otis. Leon played that part. One of my favorite movies. RIP Mr. Ruffin.
Thanks For Watching
1 of the greatest vocalist of all time. The dude needs his own biopic about his life
My favorite line is, Remember this No one person is bigger than the group
Thanks that is perfect statement it is a collaborative and supportive network that holds and maintains the embodiment of precious qualitative talent for the package to achieve success!😊
"I'm gonna walk away from love "!!!!! Just listen to it !! Still bumpin' it in 2020!! A true legend!! His music will always live on!!
Thanks For Watching ❗️
Love me some David Ruffin, best Temptation
The emotion David put into his singing made everything he sang very believable, he was
one badd brother! He gets heavy rotation in this household. He made you want to wear
some eyeglasses!
Thanks For Watching ❗️
The tempts is only a group in search of a David Ruffin 😂😂😂.
Thanks For Watching ❗️
My favorite part: "You can't fire me, I made your asses."
@@Noneofyabusiness1 😂😂😂😂
@@RevelationMinistries114 ....LOL! I felt him, when he said that. 😂😂😂🤩
“And without him, huh, The Temptations ain’t nothin’ but a group IN SEARCH OF a David Ruffin!”
David becoming a Temptation, was one of the best things, that could have happened to the group, at that time!!!
I am enjoying this series so much. These are the heroes of my youth. So sorry for the difficulties they all had but their performances were outstanding.
Mr. Ruffin
Was the best singer that ever lived. He will never be forgotten. R.S.P. Brother
Thanks For Watching ❗️
One of the Greatest Temptation ever along with Eddie Kendrick and Paul Williams.
Thanks For Watching
What about Dennis Edwards, a very talented musician with beautiful focused qualities, very difficult to duplicate!
One of the greatest voices in the Motown sound.Its funny that he was going to write a tell all 📖....
Thanks for watching !
Our only hopes is that Martha, Mickey Stevenson, HDH members and a few other write a tell all. As Gordy is one of the most powerful men on the planet and he's not telling on his self.Mary Wells was the biggest female.artist out during the My Guy period and got blackballed when she left the big M. Couldnt get her records played after she left.The under promotion of David Ruffin after he questioned Motown's book keeping.tactics and him for.ever.being in the dog house is another example.Stevie and Marvin wrote their material.and were not affected as much. But if you were an artist that depended on your material being.written. U had.a hard time after leaving Motown. Gladys, The Four Tops, And the.Isleys were the exception to the rule of course they got even bigger.While mainstays such as Martha and The Vamdellas, Marvelettes, Brenda Holloway had issues.The. tell all after.the demise of Gordy will be interesting reading. I purposely omitted Miss Motown , we all know who that is.As a book coming from her would be one big ass lie.
Eddie Hendricks blue and David were the voices
I want to go back to that time and save him but he wouldn’t have listened! Sad end to such a great star, such a great voice ❤
I Know You Wanna Leave Me But I Refuse To Let You Gooo❕
David was a handful but neither any of the original lineup were a walk in the park. On a sidenote, in the movie Otis never shared his heavy drug addiction to complement the overall fact for the movie to make him look good. But legendary group to the fullest.
Thanks For Watching
Nobody was perfect but when you start missing recording sessions and shows you’re fucking up the money not just for the group before the band.Play Time is play Time but when it’s time to show up at work you get up do it.You have to credit Otis for keeping the group together at least any replacement he had to replace none of them were bums.
@@daffyduckfan4478 I can agree that his drug usage created problems for himself and the group and as much as I hate to say it he probably made the right move. I do however think he was demonized in the movie. The story could have been told without making him look so badly and without distortions. This man has family....
@@aj.mcgowan5593 ... How was he demonized?
Notice Otis the only one left he wrote the movie to fit his narrative
OUTSTANDING VIDEOS ON MOTOWN 🏆🏆🏆🏆. I SEE YOUR CHANNEL GETTING TO 100K plus. I like your narrative 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Keep up the great work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.
NAILED IT . I ADORE YOUR TALENT YOU WAS DEDICATED REGARDLESS OF WHAT DEMONS YOU HAD TO FIGHT YOUR VOICE AND TALENT WILL NEVER BE "UNSUNG TO ME" YOU, PAUL OR EDDIE
Thanks For Watching ❗️
The Voice RIP Thanks for the Beautiful Voice and Lyrics
Thanks For Watching ❗️
Thank you for telling the stories young man, good for you. Going back in history, and realizing the ground work that was laid out, gives me hope for the future of our people! Good Job!
Thanks For Watching ❗️
Lots of love Brother
Nice work on this. It is very informative and interesting with details and pictures I had never known.
Thanks For Watching ❗️
I love Mr. D.Ruffin style of singing his 🎶🎵🎶❣️✨❣️😘🥰🎶‼️🧿🙏🏾
He was a TRUE talent which is rare everybody throws around the word artist and very few ACTUALLY deserve that title ..Just a shame drugs took over. and of course NO ONE helped frfr 😓..R.I.P YOUR TALENT AND INFLUENCE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 💯💪🏼🙏🏼❤️💔..
And as for MOTOWN ! Berry Gordy and that whole record company was BS most of all those artist were fucked out of money that Berry pocketed! Aretha Franklin’s dad was smart for warning her to stay away and she did which is why she was always successful! ..
I remember reading about Aretha and she received her pay most times in cash and kept it with her during her performances, Actually that I think 🤔 is probably the best Idea!
I love you too David Ruffin, your voice lives in my head forever💚💛❤️ Comment by Tracy Iraia 🇳🇿🇳🇿🌏🇳🇿🇳🇿 NZ 😎
👏🏽👏🏽an interesting and enlightin ..thank you so much for sharing continue to share these valuable truths. Praying for you to continue to 👞👞👞 towards greatness..

Fantastic video I loved it I hope you keep doing what you’re doing I am subscribed and I will be watching all your stuff big 👍 thumbs up !
Thanks For Watching
Sorry is a Sorry word and I Miss You listen to those by David
You Deserve More Subscribers Seriously
The narrators delivery puts me to sleep no disrespect. Also this is read from word to word. I'm thankful for the information but the voice and delivery is dry as a dessert 🌊🌊 💦💦💦
Love Your Video
Nobody else like David he was a legend
You enlighten me on some facts about David Ruffin that I didn’t know
Yes, he had a great voice when he was part of the Temptations. But that was a good thing. It doesn't excuse him from beating on Tammi Terrell. Beating someone, there's no excuse. He beat her many times.
Thanks For Watching ❗️
@@WBPTV No one is trying to excuse his behavior. Everyone knows he struggled with his demons...
Then marvin gaye came along and snatched her up
Most men back in those days did that. I do not condone that act especially being a woman. Nevertheless, most men did hit their women. I think they didn’t disclose that with most of the men.
James Brown also beat Tammi
You Stay Teaching Me Something New
how do you know what he is saying is true
This straight from Wikipedia...
Good job wish you lots of luck and success
Thanks For Watching ❗️
He left us today, 1/6/1991. 33 years ago. Rest in heavenly peace, David. He was really a good person 🙏❤️😢
David's children should have sued Otis because the mini series was based on his book
Nice documentary, did not know alot of the information here
Glad you enjoyed it!
My favorites songs are: Common man/ My whole world ended/ Statue of a fool/ Pieces of a man/Rode by the place/ In the cool of the night/ So soon we change... And i was bron in 1986
This is the best documentary!
Thanks For Watching ❗️
Yesssss Finally
Incredible story
I'll never forget his vocal on Pop Was A Rolling Stone. What an album!
Bo Rood the original track " Papa Was A Rolling Stone " was Dennis Edwards not David Ruffin. David was not a member of the Temptations. So is there another version that feature David Ruffin as the lead singer? Thanks
It was Dennis Edwards......
@@rexxgarvin5313 Right man Dennis not Donald, my mistake,
@@borood1188 Atleast you are interested!!! Its a Good Mistake! Go deeper into the Temptations, and their evolution in Music, it's deep! They went from one level to another! When Dennis Replaced David, another sound came from them. Different from the 60's sound. Their 1970's Jams are Fantastic! Listen to Shakey Ground from the Song for you album!!
@@rexxgarvin5313 Thank you, man. These oldies were a classic album, you can't beat that sound.
Great Story❗️❕
He died in my hometown. That very hospital where he was left, I been to many times growing up .
Thanks For Watching ❗️
I speaking from being w David Ruffin Eddie Kendrick Dennis Edwards David was beyond words to describe his voice stage performance you told it right in your introduction you man i loved David he sung from his very Soul i spent time w EDDIE DAVID AND DENNIS I RODE TO DAVID'S FAM TO HIS HOMEGOING IN DETROIT
Loved David but Eddie was my favorite
Thanks For Watching ❗️
David and Eddie they made some great music in the 80s. Oh and of course the 60s
I loved the ruffin, kendricks they made together in 1980 david is my favorite I love Eddie too and paul,and Melvin
david was my favorite Paul was the bomb too and eddie , the bass singer had the deepest voice I've ever heard miss em dearly they are still in my ❤ heart
I love me some David Ruffin....RIP
Thanks For Watching ❗️
I also love David ruffin rip
There was a temptations before there was a David Ruffin he was a great entertainer far as Ruffin beating on tammi Terrell that's unforgivable and unexcusable always be noted as a great entertainer
Thanks for elaborating on his temperament, because hitting a female is never acceptable, If you have to hit some one to inject fear into them or manipulate them by using force, there is a special place in HELL, the same goes for abusing elderly, handicapped persons or children! No forgiveness ever!
If any of David Ruffin's family out there, David is up there with Michael Jackson, Prince, Patti Labelle, Whitney and Mariah! If he were alive today I would hope to be picked from the audience and serenaded till I grab my Pearl's! Who is Otis?🤔
Thanks For Watching ❗️
As humans we all have our faults and demons. Being a superstar magnified anything David did. Regardless of what anyone says David persued and mastered his career. Despite the Jim Crow era David, The Temptations & so many other artist prevailed. That in inself proves David Ruffin was the greatest!!❤❤🎉😊
David's Ego got him more than the dope I think for not the ego maybe not the dope?
Thanks For Watching ❗️
I was a Temptations fan, bought all their Albums. David didn't inderstand that "Temptations' fans, were "Temptations Fans"! That was such a magical, music, time. Excessive Ego, is a destructive, damaging, element. Too bad, their music, talent, and stage presence, was pure magic!
Such happy beginning to end up in such a sad ending : DRUGS WILL DESTROY A HUMAN MIND 💔💔💔
I love David Ruffin's voice, ♥️ I used to see my girl to my daughter when she was a baby
Fun fact David Ruffin sung in The Voicemasters alongside, a then 16/17 year old, Melvin Franklin before Melvin would join Otis in making The Temptstions
Narcissism and drugs got in the way of a very talented man! Informative video
Thanks For Watching ❗️
Long before bias became the norm in groups today, there was David Ruffin.
David ruffin madevhis life so difficult with his we ild ways after getting into the temptations. But he had a voice loke no other.
That was EDDIE that took Motown to task for miss handling the TEMPTATIONS finsnces.
Rip Love your voice
My favorite lead vocal of any group. Well outside of Michael with Jackson 5.
Thanks For Watching
So wait that part in the movie is true! Lol man I wouldve loved being in the audience when David crazy ass jumped on stage grabbing the mic from Dennis lol
For what are you sime type maschocist and love to see pain or something?That type of behavior serves no purpose. Someone who would like to see this is sad.
@@johnanders571 bro chill yo ass out. That shit was decades ago. Stop crying for other mfs
@@donsparks8282 If I m crying , what do you call what you're doing?I thought so and I rest my case!
@@johnanders571 the good ole "I know you are, but what am i?" we got a real wordsmith here. You really think that was good enough to rest your case on? Come correct John that shite was weak.
My Favorite Temptation
David, Eddie and Paul--so so great.
he was my favorite singer and still is to this day my favorite songs are the double cross my love is growing stronger and just let me hold you for anight and break my heart and so soon we change i have just about all of his records bye his self and i was trying to record him

Real talk ....
Thanks For Watching ❗️
Good 👍
Thanks For Watching
As a Black man living during the 1960's, this is personal to me. David was a great lead singer for our culture's top group - The Temptations. Motown put together a team of songwriters just for them (Dozier, Holland, Dozier) Every song released was great, topping the R&B chart constantly year after year, after year. They were a huge part of Black culture. Then David's abuse of one of Motown's iconic stars (Tammi Terrell) shook-up Motown (he beat her more than the one incident here). Then David's ego and cocaine habit caused him to get kicked out of the group. Which shook-up the whole Black community nationwide. For those reasons, he lost support from the black community (socially, and professionally). He never had another hit record after his one and only solo album with Motown. We are greatly appreciative for the joy he gave us, but saddened by how it ended. He was only 50 when he died. To the producers of this piece: Don't present our stories so cheaply. Hire a professional narrator and editor
Thanks For Watching I’m only 22 years old and I do everything by myself I’m trying to work and get different people to narrate but I can only do that by the channel growing
Hey young brother, I think you are doing a wonderful job. You don’t need to hire anybody, save yourself some money. Everybody has to start somewhere, as time goes on, you will get better, with time!
David ruffin was the man and a great singer
Knowing MJ he was there in disguise
My favorite Temptations group is with David Ruffin, no disrespect to Dennis Edwards and the others.
I’m from Philly, he died around 52nd & Parkside Avenue. It was on the news
Boil Motown down to its core essence. One singer will be there.
