Molly! QNDF! I was David's biggest fan. I loved his voice,his music. To see him perform was one of my greatest pleasures. He was really something to see. His showmanship never ceased to excite me. I was also his woman. I never had a problem seperating his celebrity from the real person. I guess that's why I don't have a problem answering what questions I can on this board. Thank you Molly for your words. The truth is when I came to this board. I said I had a relationship with David. Once that was said,I knew there would be questions asked about David that I would be expected to know the answer. I don't speak of our intimate life because it was no different then any other man/woman relationship. I am proud to have been a fan of this great entertainer . I am also happy to shed whatever light I can on his career,and life. I mean isn't that why we are all here? Isn't that why you newer fans ask questions? In hopes that one of us that knew him would give you an answer? David and his music is one in the same. His musiical contribution is what made him David Ruffin. Not his relationships. His music is his legacy and that's what he would want to be remembered for. Not that we were in love. That's why I spare you all any details of our relationship. At the end of the day his music is what is important. This is just common sense der. Common sense ain't so common huh?

Sorry I posted too soon. I don't know how many of you know Sandra Ruffin. But those of you that do can back me up on this. ;DIf a fan of Ruff's would sit down and talk to her,she would talk your head off about Ruff. She wants people to know about him. She appreciates the fans. She is happy that there is still a interest in him and his music. This lady knows all of his music. As long as Ruff's music is being played he will live.. That's why I love y'all. The only way to learn is to ask questions. So right on newer fans. Ask away.I was a fan,and I am not ashamed to admit it. A fan and a friend. ;D

First thing I will be doing is starring at her thinking OMG please help me Jesus I am praying this is not a dream. And then I will cry until the tears stop coming down my face. The thought holding a conversation with Sandra Ruffin will blow my mind. To be honest I don't think I will be able to stay in the same room with Mrs Ruffin too personal. Same holds true to Der68, Mrs. Molly, and you. I don't think I can meet y'all face-to-face why because of the respect level. I will be speechless y'all will have to do the talking. I will be more concern did I say something I was not suppose to say choosing my words careful. On the other hand, I will have no problem with talking to Jody. First thing I will do is write down everything she told when it is my time I will repeat her questions to see if the story is correct.

Ms. Sandra is a very down to earth woman, QNDF. You would like her. Once you meet her, you would swear you've known her all your life. That's how she comes across. No airs. No arrogant attitude. Just a very classy woman, who's looks great, I might add! I have tremendous gratitude & respect for her because I'm sure she has endured alot. I can't wait til she & the girls decide to put their thoughts & feelings on paper. There is alot of love there.

QNew! I was a fan of Ruffin's music as well as being a friend. I too wish I could go back to the old board so I could see the information that Jody posted. I did not have an intimate realtionship with Ruffin,niether did Bees but I did have a personal one with him for many years. The questions you newer fans ask are questions that should be answered by people that knew him. "Fan" based questions are those in which anyone with a personal knowledge of Ruffin should be answering. IE shoe size? favorite eatery's,his relationship with different group members,favorite color. Most of the questions asked here have to do with his musical career. I would think that those questions shou l d be easily answered by any of us that claim to have known him. There are personal things about Ruffin that I would not discuss on a message board. But I don't consider his music one of them. If I was a fan I would expect the people that knew him to answer my questions.But that's just me. Der68 had an intimate relationship with Ruffin,and she doesn't speak of their private life. Which I appreciate because their intimate life does not interest me. However she does answer questions from "fans' that deal with his career and general knowledge of his life. I agree with Jody on one of her statements. There is a difference between a fan snd one that actually knew him. The people that knew him should certainly know more about him then a fan. QNew be proud to be a fan. Because he truly loved and appreciated his fans. That's what made him. Absolutely Molly. His fans made David...

Like I said Common, there is no way I will be able to hold a conversation with Mrs. Sandra Ruffin because I will starring at her praying I am not dreaming. Nope the message is my forum to get the love out for David. Anything else I will have a heart attack.

Maybe I should have said I was not a fanatic...To me, the fanatical fan is one that jumps up and down at the front of the stage. That is not me...Sorry...I have never felt that way about any performer though..By the way, I am not ashamed to admit anything concerning David... I also would talk to anyone about David's music. If I know the correct answer I don't mind sharing. If not, I will leave it to the experts...I don't talk to just hear myself roar...But here we go again, it does not matter my opinion, just what the experts say, is the only way...I will not make my feelings to conform to the click...I am just me, no matter if I fit in or not...

Jody why are you jumping down on Reggie case he stated he was a fan and friend. However your comments to me was you were not a fan. Now you are a fan what gives?? You told me you knew David on a personal level therefore YOU did not want to share personal details. Okay.. I can live with that but when someone else say they are fan you are ready to bring the bull dozer. I never ask you about your relationship with David why because it is none of the my business. As far as I am concern you can jump on the ceiling and it is none of my business. Also Reggie stated how Mrs. Ruffin enjoy fans to talk about David keeps in his music alive. You hear that Mrs. Jody she loves the Fans ME talking about David also Me. You have a problem with that OMG. I think the problem is YOU want to be the only person in David's life and when folks talk about Der68 and Sandra. You can't handle the conversations. If is not coming from you, it can't be true. What nice slogan Thanks Jody.. Next thread I start will focus on YOU.. As a child Jody, did you want to be center of attention? In your next life, you will be an excellent attorney. You love to dance around the truth. One more thing I know you are going to find this hard to believe Reggie knows more than you about David. You only know what David has told you. On the other hand, David has told Reggie how he feels about life period.

Jody I did not make any reference to you or your knowledge of Ruff's music in my message. My statement was regarding Mrs.Sandra Ruffin and her openess to discuss her ex-husband with his fans. You made the disticntion between fans and personal relationships. In my opinion Sandra Ruffin's relationship was a lot more personal than any you enjoyed. Yet this woman welcomes questions about him. The consensus on this board is you don't know about his music. That was the consensus before I came here. The consensus judging from the messages is that you can not answer even general questions about his music ,career,or life. That was the consensus before I came here. Your message made it clear that these questions asked were fan based and you were not per se a fan.More of a reason for you to be able to table their questions. How your opinion is valued or not on this board is your doing not mine. Sandra Ruffin is an expert when it comes to her ex-husbands work.I would never compare or speak of you in a post where I am speaking of Sandra.A wife vs a girfriend I don't think that is fair or respectful. Fair to you Respectful to her.

Queenie. My knowing more about Ruff then a lady friend goes without saying. I am not upset by Jody's attitude. The status she seeks is not mine to give. Ruff is gone now. All that is important now is his music. My point to you and the board was simply he has a living ex-wife,that is far more knowledgable about him then a girlfriend. Sandra would not have to give answers based on a book written by another girl friend. Beesnvme,der68, Molly and myself were friends we have no problem answering fan based questions. We owe Ruff that. Can't we share the number 1 fan spot? Can't we work something out? ;D ;D

Regarding the #1 fan, sorry Reggie I can't share my status with none one. I work tooo hard to be in this position and I not about to give it up. Reggie, I have to put up with Joy and Jody do you know how stressful that is? May I make some suggestions Reggie #2 & #3 are vacant you might want to try for those spots.. Good Luck...
