Born 18 Jan 1941, singer David Ruffin (brother of Jimmy Ruffin). His final top 10 hit was "Walk Away from Love" in 1975. Produced by Van McCoy, it reached #9 on the US singles chart. It was also his only entry in the UK Chart (as a solo artist) & made it into the Top 10. #DavidRuffin

Alt: David Ruffin (born Davis Eli Ruffin; January 18, 1941 – June 1, 1991) was an American soul singer and musician most famous for his work as one of the lead singers of the Temptations (1964–1968) during the group's "Classic Five" period as it was later known. Ruffin was the lead voice on such famous songs as "My Girl" and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." Known for his unique raspy and anguished tenor vocals, Ruffin was ranked as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine in 2008[3] and again in 2023. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 for his work with the Temptations. Fellow Motown recording artist Marvin Gaye once said admiringly of Ruffin that, "I heard [in his voice] a strength my own voice lacked."
