R.I.P. Jimmy Ruffin

[CFCCAN]

All time great Mowtown singer Jimmy Ruffin passed away at aged 78...one of the best artists I have seen in my younger days. He will be sadly missed.....not many of the old Motown groups and singers left I would think.

I know only the one song (...broken hearted...) but it's a very good song and, reading about the singer's life, I hope he does RIP.

Another one gone. Brother of David Ruffin, fantastic voice, I used to have a few of his singles on 45, For anyone wishing to dig deeper, Jimmy Ruffin: The Ultimate Collection is an out an out bargain at £4.99 for a double CD of pure Motown magic.

Still got a one of Jimmys albums in my boot changer, Farewell is a lonely sound was a classic as are most of the songs on his greatest hits album.

RIP to another motown great.

You've now got me started on a Motown night. I like taking one tune from the suggested nine at the end of each song and seeing where it takes me to.
