Hi ABE! Yes, that is rare to get a cassette from the 70s these days. 8 tracks are even rarer. You're lucky to David's LP on cassette. I have Everything on vinyl. It's good thing that turntables are making a comeback.

Mr. Otis of the temptations, he's best friend in the world. And genna sapsomething-ruffin, the only love of his life. THAT WOULD DO IT.

Actually two of the main topics i would discuss are his thoughts on the state of R&B in 2004 and did any of you fans see the movie"Ali"Dave Elliot was playing Sam Cooke and singing a Sam Cooke song i'd ask David if he felt he did a good job in portraying Sam.Abe B

Hey Abe David would conversate like a friend. More then likely he would talk about what you said interested you. Most people would ask David questions about his music And he was always happy to do that. Of course I'm not a median so these are just my opinions based on my friendship with him.

This is abe, have two questions for other David Ruffin fans out there.These areDo you think one thing David could be was an a&r man signing acts today if he were still alive?What percentage of artists would get a record deal if they had to live up his standards of what talent is in order to get a record deal?

Hey Abe! The song was Stay. All HELL would have broke loose if that had happened while he was alive. Brother would have had a hay baby with straw legs! Can you imagine?
