Check under the comments. A deejay in Detroit said he had just finished a segment of Unsung for Ruffin...talking about his personal life and recordings.

Ah now I see it, thanks Bees. Looking around on the net for contact info for David Washington. Sounds like he was one of the interviewees for the Unsung segment on David Ruffin....that's pretty exciting that they are actually producing it! Hope it's true...hope it's good, hope it's fair coverage, etc

Well, I'll be! I guess some of our prayers have been heard! I have an audio taped interview that was given to me where Mr. Washington interviewed David's daughters. Interesting to say the least! The deejay seemed very fond of David as he recounted the times he spoke to him off the record. Will be very interesting to see what Unsung comes up with. I hope they don't have that guy who wrote the last Temptations' book. They really need to get people who actually KNEW David and not a bunch of disgruntled folks only discussing how 'horrible' David was. Ugh. I'm just hoping it's going to be balanced.

It sounds like this deejay, David Washington, thought pretty highly of David. And I DO hope they interview David's daughters for the Unsung episode!

It's nice to see the petition signatures crack that 140 mark finally! It's up to 142. c'mon everyone let's get the signature drive revved up again so the Unsung folks know we mean it!

I went to TV One's website but just could not find a schedule for the next season. Anyway, if somebody sees when David's episode is playing on the west coast, could you post it here, please??? Thanks!

Greetings, I pray to Allah that David Ruffin be Unsung in a positive way. I spoke with Mr. David Washington Last Monday, the segment for David Ruffin is schedule to air in February. Mr. Washington spoke highly of DR. I feel and hope that DR will be honor and if his family was interviewed. I think that he will be granted a fair story. The forty people, I solicited to sign this petition, ask me Who was the Author, I was so excited when it posted to my face book page, I did not research the information. I prayed the night before, and ask Allah, what can I to do to have his story told, the petition appeared the next morning. I love David Ruffin as a young girl. I would only play the song of The Temptation that he or Eddie was sing. I pray that TV One, did not interview Otis or Genna.

I have an audiotape of Mr. Washington conducting an interview he did with David's daugthers several years ago. Very well done. Seems like Mr. Washington was a friend as well as admirer of his music. I, too, am hoping that the segment with Ruffin will be balanced and not have the usually 'negative' energy of Otis or the wanna be widow.

Welcome to the board, Airhead! How did you get interested in DR? I can recommend Tony Turner's book Deliver Us From Temptation for the most compassionate look at some of the behind the scenes with DR.

Hello...well I got interested in DR when I was a kid while listening to "ain't to proud to beg" "my world ended"and "my girl" ( damn the man can sang!). And also I'm a fan of Tammi Terrell which I found out 2-3 years back about .........thanks for the recommendation I will check it out because I wanna know how he was as a person and not the rumors spilled by others.
