David Berthy Posts

I've recently gotten into the solo work of singer David Ruffin. He's perhaps best known as the lead singer of Temptations during the group's sixties golden years-- it's Ruffin who sings "My Girl"--but despite his considerable talents, the singer was voted out of the band in 1968 due to increasingly erratic behavior. In 1969, Ruffin came back with his first solo album, "My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me)," which the tracks below are from. Both showcase the visceral, distinctive qualities of Ruffin at his best.
