One of my favorite cuts off of the 'I am My Brother's Keeper' LP.

Common,
Thanks for posting that lovely picture of David and Jimmy. I was curious to see what Motown had to say about Jimmy Ruffin's passing and saw the following statement posted at classicmotown.com
Jimmy Ruffin was a phenomenal singer. He was truly underrated because we were also fortunate to have his brother, David, as the lead singer of the Temptations, who got so much acclaim. Jimmy, as a solo artist, had "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted," one of the greatest songs put out by Motown and also one of my personal favorites. He was a wonderful human being, quiet and unassuming, who touched many lives with his music, not just here in the states, but overseas, as well. Jimmy Ruffin will always be a part of the Motown legacy, and I extend my sincere condolences to his family, friends and fans. Berry Gordy, Founder MOTOWN

Citystars, You are welcome. I did see Mr. Gordy's comment. I'm surprised he said that considering he treated acts like Jimmy like yesterday's garbage. Why does it take their death for him to 'expound' on 'great' one of his former artists was? I can see why Jimmy kept a regal distance from the so-called 'Motown family'. They sure didn't 'act' like one! www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11245411/Jimmy-Ruffin-obituary.htmlThere are obviously some mistakes in the article. David, not Jimmy, was an infant when their mother died. Also, David wasn't sacked because of his 'drug addiction'. He got fired for showing them his ass. LOL. Another picture of Jimmy:   |

Hi Common,
I was also surprised by the statement. That said, I know Jimmy is known for "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted". But, there are other songs of his I really enjoy listening to. For example, the following are some of my other favorite Jimmy Ruffin songs:
1) Don't You Miss Me A Little Bit Baby.
2) Gonna Keep on Tryin' Till I Win Your Love
3) As Long As There Is L-O-V-E Love
