Idk who this man was talking about David's world ended on the radio, but he could've really kept his stupid ass comment about my cousin in his mouth, it's always go be a stupid ass with something to stupid to say, maybe this mans world ended to.
Everyone needs to know this: Genna Sapia was NEVER MARRIED to David Ruffin. She was an on/off girlfriend who assumed his last name AFTER David Ruffin died. David Ruffin was LEGALLY MARRIED to 2 women - Mrs. Sandra Ruffin, whom he married in February 1961, and is the mother of his 3 daughters, and Joy Hamilton, whom he married in 1976, and ended 3 months later.
David can not only sing. He was also extremely intelligent and funny
Incredible interview!

David was never married to Genna.
I am glade I got a chance to hear David and Eddie last interview in the U K Which was in Southport England which was they last Interview together David was very smart person and very intelligent and also Eddie and when they got with the Temptations and more town given them a contract they really did know music business and that is why they didn’t get the money that should have gotten and that why they died broke should have been millionaires they both was Icon and they both left a legacy and body of music that last to the end of time for our grandchildren listen to they both was my favorite lead singer s of the Temptation’s five back in1960 I will all ways remember them as long as I live the greatest guys that ever pick up a microphone 🎤🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️🌹🌹🙏🏾👏👍RIP
There is always going to be something said negative. But Let Your Work Speak For You. David Ruffin Your singing spoke for You. One of God's Best. An ICON and Left a Legecy. RiP. Forever Bless
💋🤎💋
🖤💋🖤💋🖤💋🖤 david had no wife when he died in 1991 and eddie didn't either in 1992! I love you both!
Some of you all have a bad image of David but David was a very smart intelligent man and he was a god-fearing man and you can tell it in a lot of his music that's why I love him, he wasn't a dumb man that's for sure.
TV
Tell the truth and shame the devil.❤🙏
Agreed
News flash. We can tell from his diction that he wasn't stupid.
The drug had no effect on his intellect. He spoke well and dressed well.
This is so imformational. My two favorite singers giving us the lowdown on the business.
They did a good job with the reunion.
I know I would have ask him to sing that my funny valentine 💝 song 🎵 omg one of my favorites
Two of the best ever
You know thats the difference between Otis and Ruff, &Eddie. Otis is a political guy.He speaks around the edges meaning he is always concerned with how things might affect the group. Its always the GROUP ! That is Otis Williams, and I feel that Melvin Franklin who is really Otis Miles, yet Melvin was a guy who is/was a team player although that man had a bass that is so distinctive its amazing !Now Eddie& Ruff are alfa males who dont take shit yet know what it smells like and that sometimes isnt good in show business because you have to give and take, and those two got tired of feeling as they were giving so much all the time. We ,the fans didnt care,we just wanted that sound and dont forget that look, they had that look,that .....5IVE, THAT CLASSIC 5IVE just had it !After Dennis Edwards, that was the temptations, although they were good ,they werent GREAT, I saw them at the APOLLO and the air had electricity in it, waiting for them to come on! Nothing is like it used to be ,yet those groups of the 60's the TEMPS were the noblemen of the game.
You got to have the right emotions to perform a song." (Amen) Eddie said anything after just imagination I know nothing about the temptations
David Ruffin said "the low road still may take you where you wanna go, I NEVER WANT TO REACH THE MOUNTAINTOP" Wow so that goes to show he's been so mispainted. I know the feeling when your just a presence or personality, talent or person..... those smaller people see you as wanting to better than them, when your not trying, you just being your god creat4d self & are better. Because a man.who will take the low road & not seek the mountaintop. That's a real good soul. He not trying to be anything. He just being himself & thus .because not like the little man seeking the top. They lie onya anyway. Just to attack & misconstrue your character to others. David called it "ANYTHING TRYING TO PULL YOU DOWN IS BENEATH YOU." & we know the story & his musical works. The hate for his individual independent character tried to pull him down. But Nope Lol
David ruffin born in whynott ms but grew up in meridian ms
got the speaker on so I can hear better of the sexy voices of Eddie and my baby dave💙🕶💙 part 2 of 2 makes my eyes water!👄 👄
David's wife now and then name was/is still Saundra, common law does not carry any weight, SORRY!
comman law is legal in some states me myself I don't believe in it if a man wants you he will forsake all others and focus on you and only you trust me! ❤
@@lindahines8287 My sentiments exactly! Hey did go back into the book to find where G said that J made David marry Saundra?
@@lindahines8287 So what if the man was living with two women for 10 years. Back and forth between the two Is that called common law married to both of them? 🤔🤔🤔🤔....lol Is that considered bigamy?
@@sheliamcmillian9794 not yet that's a lie how did he make him marry Sandra ? she is jeoulous of her OK because she is a legal Ruffin!
@@sheliamcmillian9794 he married another woman and she was still peeking thru the keyhole. smh! let alone packing up leaving her for TT!
Two of the greatest of all time there will never, never be another Eddie Kendrick or David Ruffin.
David did'nt wanted Genna at all.He used her.
Yes he did she was worst than an obsessed fan we the public would never had knew about her hadn't been for her coming out with that book why I say that because he never ever mentioned her at all not to my knowings!💙🕶💙! It hurts to be in love with someone and they don't give a dam about you women can feel that.
Ugh...Gina...not a wife.. just a side chick...no ring...no marriage license . 🤷
almost feel sorry for her! But I dont.
@Linda Hines Financial gain for G and Jr. I believe that to be true.
@Linda Hines FACTS!!!
@Linda Hines Jr. does not appeal to me. I cannot get into him. I do not see what others see. He was a cute lil boy. To me he is not attractive.
Gm edagdwg love this video thank you God is in control never know we're he will take you God is always with us 🙏🙏🙏 ☮️❤️
It's sucks they died so soon right after this interview! someone killed him I'll be damn!
2019 David Ruffin is still THE VOICE.
May he & all members of this incredible band that have “passed over”, “REST IN PEACE!” Each one was special & so talented, adding their own “special magic” to this phenomenal band called “THE TEMPTATIONS!” I loved this incredible band & each and every single member! They will always be remembered & so dearly loved !💕
Didn't David have a volatile relationship with Tammy Terell. A bit of a bully really
I remember that show night train. In the 90s no doubt! This is Before he died probably maybe early 1991.
What year was this?David's world ended shortly after this interview must have been 1990 or 1991.
How is her name Ruffin he didn't marry her I guess ill change my last name to Ruffin.LOL.give me a break. so damn what!
Lol, hey I'm change mine too!
Eddie, David, Paul and never forget the greatest bass singer of all time, Melvin Franklin. The greatest voices of all time.
Not the greatest or deepest bass singer. Do it research
@@Malaki727 he arguably is the greatest bass singer ever. It’s a matter of opinion. Who do you “think” is the greatest bass singer?
The like of this man of God is not found. He was pulled down by something lower; said so himself, right here.
The cream rises to the top and its a great shame that these super stars were not given more opportunity as they had the most amazing talent Eddie & David both had unique sounding voices and could never be replaced..I went off the temptations when they were gone ..Not forgetting Paul & Denis they were also superstars..the rest ? well forget it they were going no where till Eddie & Paul then David joined the Temptations.
They were all great singers,, with the exception of Otis Williams who didn't sing that well and called all the shots,, he was really the lose glue that was trying to hold the group together,, but my opinion Eddie, paul and David was the group!!!
Aisha Greer I couldn't have said it any better!
Great and true statement. The greatest statement I have read!!! SO TRUE!!!
I love the statement "lose glue". Ha Ha!
Perfectly & so eloquently put! Love “how your phrased Otis important & significant part in this band as “the loose glue”, that tried to keep the band together! You put it perfectly!❤️
the irony is Otis wanted to be in a Motown singing group sooooo bad; but never thought he would be the runt. I believe that is why he was so cut throat.
damn they wer sum nice lookin man
latoya sims Yes ma'am
latoya sims Gorgeous Black Men and Can Sang..
Eddie was so dam fine o Lord. I love David though His voice is captivating😄
@Linda Hines Yes he did look very good on here girlfriend he was a sex symbol! I still love him though!
@Linda Hines He had an irresistible pipe with a GOLD tip, that drove the women crazy! Lol I heard he had pleeeeenttttyyyy of women. I wish I could have been one of them. Lol
You people are taking what David said out of context. He didn't say that he felt like Michael Jackson, he was comparing to mj as far as leaving the temps and pursuing a solo career. Michael did the same thing and left the Jackson 5 and did his own thing, and he was beyond successful. Thats all David was trying to say, Jesus! Let this man rest!
I wish that both David and Eddie would have written their memoirs and really told their side of the story.
You got that right genna wrote that book after he died so He is not here to defend himself. He probably wouldn't believed His white woman wrote a book demonizing him.
Linda Hines : YES!! Thank you, that’s how I feel too.
@Linda Hines What's the name of the book? I just bought Smokey Robinson's autobio from 1989. Good book also.
@Linda Hines thanks. Smokey tells ALL in his book. from his early days creating MOTOWN with Berry Gordy to Writing hits for the Temps and Marvin Gaye. He tells of his marriage ending due to his infidelity and secret child he had with his mistress (smokey had 2 mistresses. One was a Soul Train Dancer!) he told how he got addicted to CRACK. It's very real story and a good book.
@@lindahines8287 Exactly, that's how I feel as well. If he could've looked into his future, he wouldn't have fooled with her.
David didn't say The Lord lifted him up to be like Michael He said The LORD lifted him up to be ABLE to do some of the THINGS Michael was ABLE to do! & he was very classy & courteous about the Temps depart. being that he's teamed up with Eddie & letting it remain water under the bridge.also he didn't say anyone was beneath him, they were not allowing them to grow. I'm glad he left!! that psychedelic crap it was CRAP!! I agree with Bubba Knight DRUG SONGS!! How IRONIC!!
Ruffin and Kendrick both went to their graves with untold mysteries surrounding their departures from the Temps. So I can not say that David was fired, which to me has no relevance whatsoever concerning his leaving. Eddie kept his peace also. Men of their standards have to be respected by myself because they did not play to the public for publicity when they were not performing on stage or releasing their wonderful music. For this interview to open saying that Genna Ruffin was David's wife is wrong from jump street, David only had one wife and her name is Sandra Ruffin, she is probably more of a perfect partner for David than he knew. Her being humble and meek about David Jr. & his mother's international disrespect for her daughter's father shows how much woman she truly is. RIP David and Eddie.
Thank you Malcolm Richardson!!! Sandra Ruffin, as a Woman, had character. Her traits, values, morals and principles ranges superior to Genna Sapia. Genna Sapia is not a Ruffin. David never married her and there is no such marital classification as a COMMON-LAW WIFE. Society coined the term to make people who settle to live contrary to the Word of God fell at peace while they live in sin. Your comments regarding David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks are wholesome and merits significant appreciation from me. David was/is my favorite singer. Cora Hudson
Saron bitew
Malcolm Richardson : Thank you so telling the truth. This Gena lady is nothing but a nobody trying to make money from the name of David Ruffin.
Cora Hudson : Yes!! Here is another person who feels the same way that so many people know. That this so called Gena is NOT or NEVER WAS or will be a Ruffin. SANDRA RUFFIN IS THE ONLY WIFE of David Ruffin.
David and Eddie were so smart!
I didn't realize that David truly fooled himself about his departure from the group: "NEGRO YOU GOT FIRED!!" - talkin' about people beneath him and the Lord lifting him up to be like Michael Jackson- B.S!! David's solo career couldn't touch Michael's success from his first album, let alone Thriller (Which is still the best selling album in music history)/ David wouldn't have been popular without the Tempts because he was a solo artist for years before he joined them and got no commercial success. The proof was ALL up in that pudding. I love David but MAN was he a confused individual
fromthesidelines23 HAha. You need to learn to respect the Legend! The Temptations would not have been famous with out David Ruffin and Michael Jackson would not have been Famous if not for David Ruffin's INFLUENCE!!!.. MJ's first song he was was MY GIRL!
a1992aron I do respect the Legend. David was phenomenal... on stage. But off stage conduct is what really ensures success in the music business and he couldn't keep it together. The Tempts were on their way up around the time that Ruffin joined the grouo. He simply solidified their fast success by adding to the Temptations swag- he did not create it. He complemented it- made It more noticeable. he would have been a great solo artists if someone had been with him every step of the way to keep him in line. And MJ was an amalgamation if many influences. More so James brown, Stevie and Charlie Chaplin than Ruffin.
Static Shock i d
He wasn't comparing himself to Mike he was comparing they're situations ,an buy the way he didn't get fired from the grou,he left the group when he didn't show up for their second show at Howard University: stop believing everything you see in that fake movie
@@fromthesidelines23 you can say what you wanna say about David but he'd show took them to another level
Eddie reportedly never did like the Temptations changing to the "Psychedelic" sounds with "Cloud Nine," and "Psychedelic Shack," even though Cloud Nine brought them their first Grammy. You can tell towards the end on this clip where he blamed it all on the producers, and the group simply were caught up in the battle and had to go where they wanted them to go. This was undoubtedly the beginning of the end for Eddie, and he would eventually leave the group two years after Cloud Nine came out
They both had beautiful voices and so sexy!!!!
CAWANA JOHNSON of
Yes they did especially David his voice was captivating and eddie both sexy. Even in talking like this interview. O Lord that David I loved hearing him talk.
They'll be getting together again on the other side.
