me too! and a book that his oldest daughter was supposed to have written named the man behind the glasses what the world 🌎 I wonder happened to that. Book 📖
Noteworthy to add: I am a " Mr David Ruffin" fan since my elementary years and even during the present time being a senior citizen. The Temptations music never ages. Thank you Mrs Ruffin for being a very important part of Mr David Ruffin's life: like him you are unforgettable and your offspring. Clearly you are the Queen of Mr David Ruffin as your emotional cues allowed you to not only hear what is being said but what is not being. Just listening to you on Unsung makes me glad you had been a real wife and loving mother, you are beautiful inside and out. Thank you for being direct. Thank you for showing interest when you had talks with Mr Ruffin, your communication styles may be different, but I am thankful you have been on point with Mr Ruffin on many levels. I appreciate you Mrs Ruffin for being willing to expand on you points of concern using plain language. When speaking of your husband, you have the most beautiful smile, as a fan it is so wonderful to see you smile anyway. Thank you Mrs Ruffin for valuing Mr Ruffin's input as you both worked on ways to improve your relationship, appreciate good times you shared to provide him with healthy feedback. Thank you for sharing Mr Ruffin was ready and willing to be free from a specific bondage and, oh, how you address Mr Ruffin by name, acknowledging Mr Ruffin's issue as he displayed some willingness to improve the quality of his life. Your personal touch made the difference Mrs Ruffin to Mr Ruffin, Mr David Ruffin, that's, none of the others can't touch that! Your nonverbal communication was extremely important ( your body language, eye contact, you voice tone or inflections and distance when it was at best for you both. Thank you for calling him by his name using that loving voice God gave you to give him, Mr Ruffin, one of your ardent listener's.
The demands for traveling with the Band intensified, the confrontation with The Chick on the Side, Baby Mama, that's, did NOT help the situation at all. Just Trauma added to his career problems, the 1st wife Mrs Sandra Ruffin never brought neither confusion nor chaos into Mr David Eli Ruffin's life and she did an wonderful job raising her daughters to have family values, but The Baby Mama and her offspring are a disgrace, both of them long after Mr David Eli Ruffin's death have made many efforts to make money off his famous name in one way or another, especially by trying to trash his reputation.

"Two Movies 🎥"...Would be a 'TICKET BOX' sell-out #1. Movie on the Life of David Ruffin...and...#2. Movie on the Lives of Paul Williams, and Eddie Hendricks.
I just like to say to David ruffin family Jimmy ruffin family y'all look just alike that is so that's so uncommon cuz you always get one to look alike or somebody else to look like but y'all look just alike y'all got some Strong jeans but I just like to say that I think it praise God for y'all each and every one of you Jimmy and David both of y'all could sing both of y'all started at Motown both of y'all just did everything together and your son Jimmy he was a good looking young man himself I say you know Jesus have prepared y'all and kept y'all you know Grace don't go out of nothing I don't care what nobody say grace and mercy is old things Jesus is so good you just got to continue to love him and let go and let him have his way and not you have your way cuz you want to be ornery but he'll let you go and be what you want to do but guess what you'll come back to him before it is all over I know been there done that but nevertheless I thank the Lord for all he has done and I just thank him for you all look alike family praise the Lord in Jesus name love smooches love them love the babes love the mother and love sweetness in Jesus name we pray amen
I'm a singer and actor i was just in his hometown why not with my lady people which she said he stayed down the street from them. She stated they are to do a documentary on him i said yes I'll play the part.
Show us your photo and we will determine for ourselves. We need to see those beautiful sculptured cheekbones and that keen nose. In addition, we trust that you are lean and fine LOL 😆
Linda Hines : He sure can’t. Plus the only income he gets is from claiming that David is his father. I want to see his face too, when the DNA comes out showing that David is not his father. Then I hope that David’s daughters take Genna and him down.
Linda Hines : That’s why I keep saying Genna is wrong for making like David really loved her. I know you have read the book Otis has out, and even you said Otis doesn’t even mention her. Because she is exaggerating about everything.
i bet she never stated how she drops off her son and dont come back for not days but monthes pretty sure she ask for them beatens by bothering that mans. family david ruffin. that u don't do and dropping your son on another women door step wow
Dedire did Genna Sapia drop her son, David Ruffin Jr., off on people's door steps? I thought she was issue driven but my LORD, she is/was CRAZY. Please reply. Thank You, Cora Hudson-Guice
Deidre Melford : You are so right, something is not right about that Genna lady. Please Ruffin family, take a piece of Gennas son hair and have it sent to the DNA lab.
Cora Hudson : That lady knows that is not David Ruffin’s son. I repeat make him take a DNA test, if it proves that David is his father, I will leave it alone. But, I’m telling you something is not right about that Genna. Even her family disowned her.
Kay: Fights fights is correct. Eddie & Paul came from the Primes. Otis, Melvin, & Al came from the Distants. In actuality, David had been doing his own thing (singing in Gospel groups, other groups, and recording on his own). In reality, folks have to realize that David was his own demon; there were times he wouldn't show up for shows (high, drunk, and in one case took off to see Dean Martin's daughter do a show). He was let go because of selfishness and ego ( "bigger than the group").
WRONG!!!! Otis was the DEMON in the group. HE was the reason Paul went down, because he treated Paul like shit. David had his faults, but HE was the reason the group went to the top. Until David came in, no one knew of the Temptations. 'My Girl' comes out, who's singing? DAVID, that's who!! The man WAS the Temptations, then Eddie and Paul. Otis couldn't sing worth shit. 'No one's coming to see Otis!', DAVID WAS RIGHT! Big mistake when they let David go. And if David was such a big distraction, why did the group BRING HIM BACK after Dennis Edwards joined??? Dennis says this himself in an interview here on youtube! So don't come on here thinking you know something and telling ALTERNATIVE facts!!
+the professor, cut the crap now.......Paul and Eddi shared the lead of the group until David joined the group AND SMOKEY ROBINSON WROTE THE SONG "MY GIRL" AND GAVE IT TO DAVID INSTEAD OF PAUL, after that Paul finds that most of the songs were written for David as lead and he was pushed to the back as harmony..........Otis did not write the songs for the group......It was Smokey Robinson or Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong.......So it was Motown who treated Paul like shit.......IF the song "MY GIRL" was given to Paul Williams instead of David, it would still be a hit for the group, because Paul can sing. David first begged Otis to hire him as their tenor every chance he got, because he said that THE TEMPTS WERE POPULAR (AND OF COURSE HIS SOLO CAREER WAS GOING NOWHERE).....But there was no vacancy until Al Bryant hit Paul in his face with a bottle, cutting Paul in his face, and was fired by Otis FOR HIS ACTION.......After David was fired, he said that he was sorry and asked to be taken back, he was then given a sceond chance by Otis, and he blew it......When he forgot to turn up for the show......The Show.....Which was to be his WELCOME BACK NIGHT. And the group realized that his drugs habit was controlling him and as such he was just too unreliable.......In 2015, the Tempts had a show in Adeline Texas and Otis got a standing ovation in a sold-out concert........So go suck on a lollipop
marie-rose daly : Please, Stop the madness. Genna is a piece of trash trying to make money off of the Legend, David Ruffin. Tell her to take that $20 dollars she made from her book of lies and go get a DNA test done.
@@sophisticatedmm3632 Was she speaking the truth when speaking of Tammi?If so ,then why is it not being acknowledged! Tammi like a lot of women seen to have a penchant for marry men.
Trauma never belonged, in the life of a free man, that is why "no one else" takes Traum and Jr into their space,siren carefully, it sounds like a Team of Users, even on Halloween.
I hope they create a movie on his life one day.
me too! and a book that his oldest daughter was supposed to have written named the man behind the glasses what the world 🌎 I wonder happened to that. Book 📖
If they do they have to have Leon reprise his role. Or at least get David Ruffin Jr himself.
Rest well in paradise David there will never be another you great music 🎶🖤🕊🖤
Never, ever!!!
THANK YOU DAVID FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL MUSIC......WE ALL MISS YOU SO MUCH.....THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE U....................
No Question! The Best Group Of Their Era!

Show us your photo and we will determine for ourselves. We need to see those beautiful sculptured cheekbones and that keen nose. In addition, we trust that you are lean and fine LOL 😆
@@sandraatkins2539 I would love to see a photo of him too! lmfao! proof is in the picture 📷
really 😫 let Us be the judge of that them some hard shoes to fill in the younger days he was good looking to me
Genna Sapia said Otis can verify her story, well Otis might be her sons daddy. Because he sure don’t look NOTHING LIKE DAVID RUFFIN.
Linda Hines : He sure can’t. Plus the only income he gets is from claiming that David is his father. I want to see his face too, when the DNA comes out showing that David is not his father. Then I hope that David’s daughters take Genna and him down.
Linda Hines : 😮😮😮 I never thought about that!!! You are probably right, his name is probably on David’s gravestone. Wow!!
Linda Hines : Linda you said it. I just Googled David’s gravestone, and they have put David Jr’s name on it. Wow!!!
Linda Hines : WOW! She is something else.
Linda Hines : That’s why I keep saying Genna is wrong for making like David really loved her. I know you have read the book Otis has out, and even you said Otis doesn’t even mention her. Because she is exaggerating about everything.

Hello Mrs. Sandra Ruffin. David's only WIFE Glenna Sapia.
only one Mrs Ruffin that exists and that is Sandra everyone knows that genna will never be acknowledged as that
Do you mean BABY MAMA? Wannabe is a PLAY WIFE.
Watch the last part of this with captions 😂
lol
heyy
Not trying to be funny but is that a girl or dude with the hat on.
Damita Blue , if you are talking about the person on the left, with the stripe outfit, that is his second daughter. Just listen.
That's David's daughter.
Are Y'all Sure This Brother Isn't Dennis Rodman's OldMan??
L😂L
This is BS, Eddie Kendricks and David started as the 'Primes'. Otis was nowhere is site, until years later in Motown.
