On June 1st 1991 the music world lost one of its brightest and most tortured souls in David Ruffin. Ruffin, along with his brother Jimmy Ruffin, began singing with gospel groups, before following in the footsteps of Sam Cooke in turning to the ‘Devil’s’ secular music. Ruffin followed his brother to Detroit, where Jimmy was attempting to break into the music business whilst working at the Ford Motor Company in the city. At the same time, the newly formed Motown group The Temptations were beginning their musical journey, but for the time Ruffin was signed to Motown subsidiary Anna Records.
Then in 1963 original Temptation Elbridge ‘Al’ Byrant was causing tension within the group, and promptly left leaving the door open for a new member to join the group. The Tempts were sold on both Jimmy and David, but it was the latter Ruffin who impressed most with his incredible stage presence that perfectly suited the Temptations performing style. And the rest, as the cliché goes, is history: Ruffin sang on some of the most beautiful Motown records ever, before his ego inflated and caused the group to release Ruffin in 1968, bringing in Dennis Edwards to fill Ruffin’s shoes.
