Board - just receive my 70's Soul Train Performances and David and Eddie solo performances.
What went wrong with our boy!!! The clothes I can get over but that Afro wig?? Was that the syle in the 70's?
I was a little shaken from the look, I had to start the tape just to make sure I was looking at David Ruffin. I can't look at David he scares me with that wig!!!

When I first saw David in that wig, I laffed my butt off. ;D At first glance, I thought he was my grandma...I said what is Lula Mae doing on Soul Train? ;D   I had never seen David in hair that long! That was the style back then. I think of Larry Graham, Bootsy, and a slew of others. Their hair looked like that too. The hair and the syle was not unusual during that period. I hope the 70's style NEVER comes back! I was never so glad to see men stop wearing those damn Qiana shirts and knit pants.  |

<<CP>> LOL
I can't even look at the Soul Train tape with out fast farwarding to see David with that wig and outfit. You laugh I was on the floor trying to figure who I idea was it!!
You mean to tell me that was the syle in the 70's oh my gosh I am glad I did not have to see that also did you catch Eddie's outfit all I can say is what happen. I guess they were trying to get away from the Temptation's environment dress different from what they were custom too I guess <<Common>> you can tell me the truth.

NDF- There really isn't a story to tell. I just recall when I first saw it, I thought it was dead dog on David's head. I nicknamed it "The Poodle Wig". I'm sorry. David looked a hot mess in that wig! I had nightmares after viewing that clip! LOL! As for the outfit, it's not that bad but he does remind me of someone who trying out for the 3 muskateers!!  ;D ;D |

Yeah yall that was funky as hell! It looked like Honey I Blew Up The Jerry-Curl! It wasn't even time for those yet neither! hahahha. I saw the one where he did "Blood Donors Needed (Give All You Can)" and the guy looked like he over did it with the Soul Glo. But he still tore it up with that same electric showmanship and explosive voice. Well it was lipsynched but still the recording was explosive. It was excellent! Plus he sang "Common Man" which was an excellent way to slow things down and tone em all out the right way. I love his solo songs too.
