It’s David Ruffin for me. And also the 10 second note he hit where his pitch and range came straight from heaven in that moment. He sang this so beautifully I don’t even have words. 90’s baby here :)
I thin that David benefited from those great 2 1/2 minute songs at Motown. His voice was unique & memorable, no doubt. I don't consider him a great singer.
In My most humble opinion David Ruffin Is The Best Male Vocalist, ever. My God That note that he hit at 3:14-3:28 is amazing, that is a Ruffin Signature HOWL. Eddie.K as always, cool and laid back. But RUFF signs his name on your heart and soul as Smokey Robinson once said of him; one feels RUFFIN.
I should be ashamed of myself, but i have to come to this clip ever so often just to hear Ruffin hit that Scream at 3:14-3:28.......SICK!!!!!!SO SICK!!!!!! So SICK that all I can do is only shake my head with my eyes all squinted.............MAN!!!!!!!! This Guy was No Joke. And it is so funny to me (if anyone has noticed) that after he hits that note he looks down and over his shoulder as though he just shroughs the fact right off that he hit that note,..... like it was nothing. His Facial and body expression said: "O that scream that is nothing I was only yawning.....I DO THIS!!!"........
IMO Marvin gets the title. But Ruffin is right up there with him. Its a shame they were never on a song together, that would have been something else...
A dear close friend of mine sent me to this video. I feel like it would be uncivilized to leave without me acknowledging the greatness of David Ruffin. I'm not a super fan like most of U are but I know and love great music. Whatever Mr Ruffin went through and was going through you felt that in his music, in his voice. That Rawness comes from some of the deepest darkest of places. Very FEW can pierce through my skin and stab me straight in my Soul...David Ruffin you are now one of those people. Thank you my dear close friend for introducing me to this Great & Most Unique Individual. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID RUFFIN MAY YOUR SOUND LIVE ON...✊🏾✌🏾
I really love this video of the one and only THE VOICE, MR DAVID RUFFIN!! Wow!! He was so blessed. 2019 still listening to your music. 💯❤️. I love me some Eddie Kendrick too.
I will never forget being part of the rhythm of a room full of our people dancing in the 70's. It was magical! And as a drummer/lead singer myself in those times, I speak the truth! Also....a lot of people who are now in their mid-40's (including my 3 offspring), were conceived the nights when these people in the videos went home.......or to the closest motel....or in cars 😎👍 .Much respect. Charisma was a 5 piece singing band, as teens..(the trumpeter/2nd tenor, on the far right, was just 16), in the 70's, from Newark, NJ, who played our own instruments - in which I wrote, sang lead, & played drums (I'm standing 2nd from the left). The attached song is "Don't Act Surprised", which has over 4 million RUclips views, and is on all streaming sites (Amazon, Apple, Spotify, Sirius, RUclips Music, etc). Copyright 1977, David Dawkins dawk110@gmail.com Hit me up...I enjoy talking with fans. ruclips.net/video/Q3LWDBEbO4Q/видео.html Peace, & please share 😎😎
@@T00FRESH53 That era is gone. A roomful of people dancing these days would be, I imagine, just a bunch of individuals doing all these goofy so-called "dances" with no rhythmic pattern on the dance floor.....some while on their IPHONE. And of course, ya' gotta be careful about bumping into someone or stepping on their Air Jordans or ya' might get shot. Sad.
God Bless You for both "caring & sharing" enough to share such Rare footage of David in his 30's & "LIVE!"🎤🎼💓🎼🎤 As an "old-school" music lover from Michigan...I AM experiencing both Tears of JOY & Vibrational🎶Orgasm!...Peace & L💓ve!!!
Is that Pretty Tony from "The MACK" on The Bass?.......MAN!!!!! to think Ruffin smoked and drinked for years and he never ever lost a peice of his raw and extraordinary vocals. Making money with the Temps and then after only supported his habits and all the while his vocals only got "RAWER!!!".....In the 80's till his depature to the other side he only polished and smoothed out the grit in his vocals, while still never loosing his gritt......Hence, Ruffin had God given Talent and ability, and no matter what he did the Creator of man loved him so much Ruffin never lost it, he only got better and no one since him or after him has had a voice of PURE GENIUS blessed upon them as he did.,,,,,GOD loved Ruffin.
David was killing that. And I agree, I'd Rather hear that 2nd song he was about to sing. It looked like he was about to go into beast mode right there.
+Mike Anderson I agree the melody sounded like "I'm Losing You." There's a photo of him and Rod Stewart floating around. Apparently him and Rod jammed that tune one night for about 10 minutes or longer.
Now I listened to the Temptations on tv, my mom introduced me to the Motown Greats, but I promise on everything, nobody can sang better than The Legendary Great Phenomenal David Ruffin, does anyone really hear his range, He’s a instrument by himself, Good God from Zion , I love you Mr. Ottis, but I’m with Mr. David Ruffin, this man voice, he sang a from his soul, I love Mr Marvin Gaye, and I promise you I love all them but Mr . David Ruffin Rest in Heaven (King) 👑❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️you are musical genius, I can’t get his voice out of my head, you too Mr . Eddie Kendricks… REst in Heaven, nobody like those Greats , 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿Outstanding Achievements! There music will live on forevermore ❤️❤️❤️
This video is toooooo much!!!! "Ruff", as usual, demonstrates why we're still talking about him years after his death, he was wonderful and hilarious at the same time!!!!! When he starts singing "you got to FEEL IT!" and gives us his signature howl I couldn't help but laugh and smile!!!! He looked like he was "feelin'" it!!! He HANDLED business on this one!!! Eddie and the rest of the Temps are GETTIN' DOWN in the background. Their long legs completing those steps with absolute ease!!!! I've always loved the way they performed especially when going "round in their trademark circle routine...Perfection!!!! Period!!!!! Thanks for the upload. If you have more feel free to upload them.
I don't think any singers from any generation could do what Ruffin does. You're right though, his control and range is amazing and he's one of the greatest singers ever.
@soulsetsmysoulonfire Eddie and David are in two different vocal classes, so you can't really compare them to one another vocally. Both were incredibly talented IMO.
This is my David Ruffin, the moves, the squalls, and the feet yes, yes. Hey somebody hit me up about the shoes. David and Eddie, the VOICES. R.I.P. CORA HUDSON GUICE
I don’t give a damn where Mr. Ruffin’s head was in his personal life. He was a GREAT singer and a HELL of a showman. This clip clearly shows the reason why he was the frontman for the Temps and did all those hits. Cool rare clips of David and Eddie, the voices of the Temps.
I was there--doing makeup for the models (I would have modeled but had a cold) and our son David Junior was modeling. Family Affair. It was a pilot for a local TV show.
Right, every time she do an interview, the only thing she talk about is how he beat her ass. Sad, l think deep down she hated him for leaving her for Tammy Terrel.
@Linda Hines, you know what, l was wondering about that boy. Everyone says he can sing, his mother says he sings better than David..sorry but l don't see it, and you're right all she miss is BBC
@Linda Hines you're sure right something must be wrong with her hearing, and l know deep down she really hated him & Tammi. She was 3 months pregnant when DR left her ass. Then after he died she took his last name and wrote a book. As far as the son l wonder if that was really DR son, no resemblance at all. Then to she would always drop him off at DR first wife Sandra house for days.
Haha. I was thinking the same thing. It's like when somebody changes the channel at the most exciting part of a football game. I was like..."What the...?"
Wow this was great I think Eddie Kendricks stole the show in the end. These women were beautiful and Eddie Kendricks still had a great voice. Too bad the lighting wasn't better. I think this is really like the only solo video I have seen of him at a club during the 70's. What a great video thanks Gino Washington for saving this footage for us. I wonder if he is still alive.
Well I think David is the better performer than Eddie. David was more extroverted than Eddie on the stage. Eddie had a laid back style where I don't think he liked to dance much. As for looks, to each is own. Beauty in the eye of the beholder. I do agree that their singing styles are complete opposite and can't be compared. I think Eddie had the best counter tenor I have ever heard that will never be duplicated. It was light, fluid and smooth. I wish both of these men were still around.
@@royalsoulness I don't think you can compare them they are like salt and pepper neither is better they complement each other and are magical performers
Oh noooo!!! How did I do that??? My previous post was meant for the video of the Temps and Supremes on Sullivan singing " I know I'm losing you". Oh wow, sorry
@serta ....wow thats my friends Dad playing the sax and singing, i never knew this. Amazing. To answer your question they were part of what would end up being a much larger band called Eramus Hall. They were from Detroit and was given their name by George Clinton. They only recorded two albums, on westbound i believe. They played many concert dates as far as i know were still gigging in the late 80's and were studio musicians at Arista records.

This man is my favorite singer of all-time. As far as I'm concerned he is the GOLD STANDARD. PERIOD.
I 💯 agree I LOVE his voice
@@lamekayoung8246 I think Marvin Junior is the GOLD STANDARD but I can totally see why someone would say it's David, he's absolutely amazing.
@@mmoxam6963 Junior had no where close to the range of David, but Junior is in my top 3.
Nailed it
Agreed!!!
He changed his range about three times while hitting that note, SICK!!!!
An amazing talent. Gone too soon.
a1992aron wow!!!
a1992aron well I don’t think he’s sick
So good
He mean sick as in too good/how could he do that real talk
This is pure perfection. He's magnificent. The best performer ever!!
It’s David Ruffin for me. And also the 10 second note he hit where his pitch and range came straight from heaven in that moment. He sang this so beautifully I don’t even have words. 90’s baby here :)
Folks were so lean and smooth back then. Sad that Eddie and David are no longer with us!
David Ruffin is one the greatest soul singers period!! I mean do you hear this man singing!! #mindblown
The best
@@margearettarmstrong4779 Well let's not leave out Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin, & Rick James!!! C mon now!!!
@@kevonlipscomb8732 True they are good but David Ruffian was the best and still is💞

I thin that David benefited from those great 2 1/2 minute songs at Motown. His voice was unique & memorable, no doubt. I don't consider him a great singer.
I'm a Mexican and I love our music but, David Puffin is one of a kind! Truly was a gifted singer. JUTS LOVE his vocals! THE BEST EVER PERIOD!
His falsetto is crazy. He has so much range.
The superb voice of the wonderful Mr David Ruffin.
David = pure emotion. The definition of SOUL!
Well said

Eddie and David are the Coolest Guys!!!
Eddie Sure could dress his ass off!
They both sound Great!!
RIP to them!
I love that they was genuinely such good friends
Mississippi born, bred and painfully abused as a little boy Preacher Little David, Davis Ruffin was great!!
Why do you write that David Ruffin was abused as a little boy?
Not one does it better than David Ruffin. A legend in his own right. I am so in love with his voice.
Aint nobody comin to see you otis😂😂😂😂😂yes sir the best temptation out of all of em
That's right Otis anything you say Otis 😂😂😂
Ain't nobody coming to see you Otis.....lol, lol.

I just threw my phone! Is there a repeat button!!! "THE VOICE" aka David Ruffin ❤️
I’m kinda sad I missed this era
Ida been the only groupie
Its a shame that lifes demons got the best of David Ruffin he tore that song up
That note he hits at 3:16...lord lord lord!
Not just the note, but how long he held it.
I had to keep going back to it!!!
I really love this video of the one and only THE VOICE, MR DAVID RUFFIN!! Wow!! He was so blessed. 2019 still listening to your music. 💯❤️. I love me some Eddie Kendrick too.
I love listening to tell her love has felt the need . Even though the lyrics are sad.
What pipes and angelic voice created to praise the real King of Kings! Go David one of God's great creations!
David Ruffin at his absolute best!!!
TWO THUMBS UP!! I've seen a picture of this performance, but never saw the actual video until now.
Spectacular, wonderful! David was getting down!
3:14-3:28 = GODHOOD. This whole performance needs to be find and shown.
Motown should be ashamed of themselves for burying David Ruffin. Easily one of the most talented singers of all time. He was the whole package.
He was good for Motown but bad for the group behavior and wise
David Ruffin killed it n the bass playe did too
I love David Ruffin!!! Simply the best ever and forever!

You aren't lying. I didn't think he'd be able to take that scream and bring it back in the way he did. Genius.
Sing that shit Ruffin
he would have been good with the temptations
of the early 70s
I don’t give a damn where Mr. Ruffin’s head was in his personal life. He was a GREAT singer and a HELL of a showman. This clip clearly shows the reason why he was the frontman for the Temps and did all those hits. Cool rare clips of David and Eddie, the voices of the Temps.

This is raw as it gets
These clips show them on the small club circuit. Prolly made $1500, but they were out there.

Can you imagine this dude being a gospel singer lol
