I feel Leon resembled David a lot. When he sang while Leon has a decent voice he didn't sound like David.

Ye sMolly you are right.Did you notice one example was the scene where Eddie is performing at a club in the early 80's and he invites David up on stage didn't the reaction smile on Leon's face seem Ruffin-esque?

I agree Abe. Several scenes were so like David. Remember when The Motown picnic scene? When David and Tammi arrived? Those long strides that was Ruffin! |

Molly,Abe I too noticed some similarities between Leon and David. Leo did a lot of reseach about David. I heard he interviewed people to get a feel for David's character.He definitely had the walk in some of the scenes,also that lean that David had.

If any of other David Ruffin fans write the mini-series what would you change about David's portrayal and what are acouple of aspects of David's life and career would you have wanted to see.

Abe I would have liked to have seen David humanized a little more. I would have tried to show David's caring and appreciative side. If I protrayed David with Tammi I would have shown a scene that depicted their at home life. I would also spend a little more time showing the positive effect David on the group. I would change the scene with David being thrown out of the limo. That was a very cruel dramatization. |

I co-sign with Molly on this one. I think that David should've been portrayed in a more humanistic slant. You never got the sense of just what David was like as a person.   |

i read that a fan said that the mini-series would have benfited with a few clips of David singing his solo songs.I would at least have Leon as David refer to My whole world ended and walk away from love and the album he did with Eddie.Does anybody know that when he went to England if he visited Jimmy or when he passed he was planning to return to the UK for another part of the tour that they think he would have visited jimmy?

Hi Abe! It was said that Jimmy did see David before he died. I couldn't imagine David going to England & not visiting his brother. |

I don't know if I were to do a mini-series or biography on David Ruffin. ( I am not sure if you guys have ever seen that show Biography). But either way, it would start of with is life as a young boy, then his career in the music biz including the time with the tempts, but in showing his time on stage I would also focus a little on his life off stage, that way the fans would be able to see all sides of him. Of course to be able to do this, would require EXTENSIVE research.  |
