Well goddam Goddam.. Heaven help us all..
Thank you for this excellent video. As a native Detroiter my memories of David Ruffin and the Temptations go back 60 years to 1963. I grew up just four blocks from legendary Motown studios at Hitsville USA located on West Grand Boulevard. Their great baritone Paul Williams passed away in 1973 but Otis Williams, the founder of the group, is still with us at 81 years old.;
Really glad you enjoyed the video !!! I Appreciate that you took the time to comment! I know right where you grew up, And sadly where Paul was found at 14th and Grand Boulevard. Thank you so much for watching!!!
I met Otis twice. I told him the same. Plus that he is admired for keeping the group alive after all he's been through, then keeping the legend alive. I gave him a hug! He is a very nice person. He seemed to remember me. God bless him!
OTIS SACRIFICED HIS SON.
Otis took care of his self. Very important.
Another awesome video Randy! Thank you as always for your truthfulness respect and kindness. R.I.P. David Ruffin.
Loved this video!! My dad always played his music. Rest easy Mr. Ruff 🕊🕊
Really glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment ☺️
Not being judgmental, read the book "
23 minutes in hell"author Bill Wiese,
Have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus 🙏, your job your talent your education doesn't get you, and heaven
Sex before marriage, homosexuality drunkenness, not repentant from your sins.
Before it's too late, it is written in the Bible.
I hope while he was getting high he asked the Lord Jesus to forgive him
Have a blessed day 🙏
@@Sasha-ch7ic you sound stupid!!! People have there own beliefs.. This ain't it smh
Love the way u tell the story u don't talk in circles like others...Thank u
Thank you! I'm really glad you are enjoying the channel !
I remember when he had died and his funeral iam from Detroit and I l still live here in Detroit. I still remember David Ruffin when he had passed away. That same year in 1991 I was working as a volunteer tour guide at the motown museum. No disrespect towards David Ruffin''s legacy he will always be a musical legend who made a lot of timeless classic hits with his rich soulful voice.But when he was alive he had live a very difficult out of control troubled life struggling with drugs and his very abusive behavior towards women he had been in a relationships with women especially the very beautiful and legendary singer Tammi Terrell that is one thing I never didnt like about him abusing every woman that you suppose to had loved. RIP David Ruffin iam very sorry we had losted you at such a young age of only 50. I wished he could had many more years here
We will ways love and respect Mr. David Eli Ruffin. Thank you for the music and the memories Mr. Ruffin.🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏 Sir thank you immensely for posting this.
Thank you Ms Atkins for watching and taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment!
Nice video loved David Ruffin and the Temptations! Why doesn't anyone ever document The Dramatics! They were just as famous as the Temptations! Ron Banks Lenny Mayes and Willie Ford are buried in Detroit also Lenny Mayes right there with David Ruffin but no one ever document their deaths. That's really sad no one remember their music. What you see is what you get...I wanna go out side in the rain..... Me and Mrs. Jones.....Be my girl. Some of the best music ever written by Tony Hester and Michael Henderson Wow I love the Dramatics. Wish someone would document their life story.
I'll see what I can do ! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment Loria Everett ! Stay tuned!
Great story telling for perhaps one of the greatest singers to ever walk this earth. Also it is my understanding that David was seeing Dean Martins daughter and this infuriated Dean, supposedly he had a talk with David regarding him seeing his daughter and David did not heed his warnings. So allegedly Dean put some action’s into play that may also have lead to his demise. RIP DAVIS
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked the video! I also appreciate that you took the time to leave a comment an share a story! He gave the world something special and it hurts and saddens me to understand what his life was like. May he rest easy now and find his peace.
Speak to the drug dealer he died of an overdose he wouldn't stop taking the drugs he was selling everything he had and he thought it was a certain day cuz he's supposed to be on stage with the temptations nope he was getting high and the dope dealers just dumped them in the street like garbage
My mother had to Jet magazine and she read it

Just came across your channel. Very well done! Clear speaking voice, interesting dialogue and respectful. New sub!
Thank you ! I really appreciate you comment! Welcome to graveyard Legends and Lore !
Thank you Michael Jackson you are truly a kind hearted person and also to Arethea the Queen of Soul for funding David's funeral.
Thanks for keeping. the legends alive ,
No he wasn't pushed out on the pavement when the limo arrived at the hospital as was depicted in the movie after arriving to the hospital the driver ran into the emergency reception room at the U.P.H located at 34th and Spruce Streets after the response team put David on a stretcher and took him into a examining room and he was shortly afterwards pronounced one of the presiding physicians asked a attendant to ask the driver of the limo to come into the hospital so a report could be filled out but when the attendant went outside the limo was gone the police eventually found out who the driver and the limo company was but their investigation didn't come up with anything that they could sink a hook into
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
My mother read the Jet magazine to me they said that someone pushed him out of a car and left Mr.Ruffin, in the street.
They said it was a drug overdose, I wasn't thinking about movie.
great video , sad story and a tragic waste of talent may he RIP 🙏
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
David Ruffin was an amazing one-of-a-kind voice and a marvelous performer. it can't be forgotten, though, that he put his fellow band mates through a completely unfair amount of angst that they didn't deserve. Drug-induced or not, the Devil in David was someone most of us would not have wanted to deal with.
I really appreciate that you took the time to comment! Thank you for watching !
I think that David got beat up from his dealer or his manager
a very devastating 😢 loss! for his true fans! like me, especially when I found out
certain things!
Absolutely! Thank you, for watching and taking the time to comment Ms Hines.
@@GraveyardLegendsandLore thank you 😊 for the coverage
My Papa, Anthony Ruffin is his cousin and growing up we were always told that he was murdered. Grew up on the Temptations. RIP David Ruffin, we continue your legacy through our children. ❤
Nice video randy. He had a tough life but well done to the people who funded his funeral etc 👍.
Thank you!
Michael Jackson actually paid for the entire funeral!
@@marissawalker4237 really wow didn't know that
@@marissawalker4237 Aretha paid to have the funeral programs printed..
Thank you. I wonder if the Dean Martin story is correct.
thanks for the pictures and info but isnt it sad that there is not 1 little flower on Mr Ruffins grave and others?
strange to me . Well, he is resting in Peace with his music and our thoughts 🖤
First ! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment ☺️ I visit Davids grave often and there is usually all sorts of things such as flower and memento left at his grave. The grounds keeper at Woodlawn have a tough job keeping the cemetery looking good and they do a fantastic Job, but with so many famous graves they must remove the things that are left continuously. Once again, Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. It really does help the channel Grow ! Hope to hear from you again!
Instead of saying Mr Ruffin was pushed out of the limo he said Mr.William
You are correct Ms. Brown . I did make a couple mistakes in this video. I hope you will forgive me. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@GraveyardLegendsandLore But on the other hand, you took the time to pronounce Eddie Kendrick's name correctly, without the s. We who know, know!
Footage of him performing is in summer of soul.
Love the video thank you for the truth . I do appreciate your video so much !!! Love David Ruffin !!! R.I.P.
Thank you for sharing
Otis Williams is still amongst the living
Yes I meant to say Obie Benson. I do apologize for my mistake and appreciate that you pointed out. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment Mr. Robinson
@@GraveyardLegendsandLore You're Welcome
Great content and video/story about the late great legendary David Ruffin. He endured a lot in those 50 short years. I’m 51yrs old grew up hearing all the Motown songs but The Temptations were a household favorite.
David stood out amongst them all. David had that “IT” factor that stood out like a sore thumb .
Soulful voice that changed The Temptations for the better. They skyrocketed let’s just be honest.
We all have issues and David had his share, however, it’s the drugs that most remember and unfortunately killed him.
Prayers he’s resting in peace and singing in the heavenly choir. 🙏🏽
Much love and respect to the legend David E Ruffin 💜💜🙏🏽🙏🏽💐💐
he's my father's favorite Temptation my favorite to Ollie second favorite
Otis Williams from temptations is still alive. He just made an anniversary album.. The other otis Williams that had a group may be deceased.
Yes Mr. Williams is alive and well living in Texas. I made a mistake. I meant to mention Obie Benson. I hope you will forgive me. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment ☺️
Thank you Randy for all the great videos of so many legendary entertainers. I can feel the respect you have for each and every one of the graves that you visit. Keep up the good work.
The other Temptations group was with Dennis Edwards who was the leader. He eventually ended up passing away. Seeing him just on tv. the way he was sweating, l had a hunch he wasn't going to last too long. Sure people sweat under the lights and look heavier on tv. Yet, l felt he was overexerting himself. Then he was too heavy. I was concerned it was going to effect his health. It's a shame.
There was mo Otis Williams. There was Dennis Edwards. He was the one who started the group.
We all have faults GOD said judge he not for he is the only one that can do that this man needed help there was someone out there could have reach out to him he needed medical help and he needed love from his father which he did not get God said bring a child up in the way you want them to go they may go a way from what they was taught but they will return back to what they was taught my heart go out for him I did not like him doing the drugs or beating women but if he could have gotten the help he needed I believe he would have done things different he seems like a nice person and may I add his father did not know how how to raise his children because he was not taught by his parents and the world are full of parents to day that know how to raise them probably love ❤️ is what a child need in there life growing up David was my favorite Tempetaions I love ❤️ them all RIP DAVID
Thank you for this real good video about David Ruffin.😌
He was blessed with a voice that he did used with what GOD gave him RIP
The guy brought 40k to a crack house....the CIA didn't make him do that.
David also was also about to write a tell of book there is a lot of stuff people don’t know
New subscriber
I believe Otis Williams is still with us.
Yes, lives in Texas. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
True. He's the only original member still alive.
He is.
Yes sir
Otis is still alive
who doesn't know that! he's truly blessed last man standing!
I was in a singing group back in the 60s and 70s sometime when I was singing leaded sometimes I would picture in my mind .. that I was David Ruffin I tryed to imitate him the way moved on stage … theirs only one David Ruffin
RSA 🇿🇦❤️❤️❤️💯We Love Him
Lots of Motown legends buried there including more temps and the four tops 👌👌
OTIS ALLEGEDLY SACRIFICED HIS OWN SON…THEY DO IT BY THE NUMBERS.
Am Simple Amazed David people can say what they want about Detroit. However none of Thee absolute Natural Born Talent WILL NO AND, CAN KOT BE deny.
Thank you, so much for watching and taking the time to comment kmprivacy .
THIS GUY MADE MISTAKES CALLING PAUL , OTIS WILLIAMS, THEN SAYING THEY PUSHED MR. WILLIAMS OUT THAT BACK OF A CAR AT THE HOSPITAL….VERY BAD NARRATING….
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment
The mother of his girls all want and seen his body he had defensive marks on his body and his clothes were missing ! David was a good man sure had enough people who were jealous of his talent! Nedra Ruffin has videos on TH-cam also about her father’s death ! Odd that a uncle told the girls to drop it or they would have been dead to ! The money I am sure want to the dud who killed him
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Ms. Elston. He is truly missed.
She now is dead
I felt that the Temptations instead of being so hard on him got him to help and still accepted him as a group member. Well you see the thing is that David Ruffin the temptations have to understand yes he is funny, and also outgoing that despite his down moments in life his mother died after he was born and his father was abusive to him he had no role model but I am proud how David was always about no matter what creating a difference in his life and experiencing greater opportunities his own life and i am also proud of how no matter what he desired for best even in the temptations. I feel they should have given him one more chance help love and supported him not kicked him out. None of us are that is why Jesus Christ sent to die on the cross for us. I am glad that I am saved, love God focus on my relationship with God, and also with others I help inspire and comfort them you know God gave me that beautifull gift. David Ruffin was wonderfull in the Temptations and a wonderfull person.
Respect
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment J Ruffin. Merry Christmas!
@@GraveyardLegendsandLore Merry Christmas. Continue to speak truth.

The Family appreciates the gesture of kindness
It's painful to see His grave.What is the Department of arts and Culture doing in America Iyooooooo this will never happen here in South Africa The legendary Musician's Thomb like that it's a shame for A Super Power like America Shem. I wonder is Elvis Presley Thomb the same I'm so angry I don't want to lie Sies
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Ms. Lesia ! I certainly understand your grief. Thank you for expressing it here ! You are not alone in your assessment .

There isn't much respect for art anymore.
I think there just isn't much respect anymore. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment loyal Opposition. Thank you
So sad when this gonna stop mate
It's not going to stop. It's a cycle. Very sad indeed! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment pienke . I really appreciate it!
Have you visited Otis Redding gravesite? If I’m not mistaken, it’s on his property in the front yard
You are correct about the location of his grave site. My favorite singer.
It's called Order out of Chaos
Who ever you are, you cannot sugar coat and equate a drug addict with greatness. It just don't work like that! David Ruffin was an excellent singer hands down, but he was a crack addict and being an addict diminished his greatness. A man can only find greatness in God
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brothers eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? David was a victim he needed help instead he received judgement. I'm Randy and I want to thank you for watching my video and taking the time to comment.
Whoever you are... his name is Randy. And unlike you he has respect.You are a very rude person. No one cares about your opinion.
@sarahwilliams-garza4354 The statement that I made (Who ever you are) was not made to single Randy out in a rude manner. It was a figurative term to convey anyone regardless of status, education, etc. For example Berry Gordy or Otis Williams, or whoever.
The Pharisee has spoken people! Lol

Im also Randee R.i.p David Ruffin...
Thank you Randee for watching and taking the time to comment!!!
I'm from Philadelphia in the exact Neighborhood that he was hanging out with Diane Showers and my community says that he was up the street from where I live getting High and Was set up for his money bag.. rumors have it from people who know people
The CIA? Nice click bait
He was found in west philly crack house over 20 .000 cash & check with him cash was gone not checked
Mr. Black he was not found he was never lost. Mr.Ruffin died in the hospital after being transported their by his limo. Thank you so much for watching !
Can you visit the graves of Uvalde Texas teachers irma garcia and eva mireles
No they said he was in there getting high and he didn't have much money left so he was giving them whatever he owned and he didn't even know what day it was he was supposed to go to some concert but he didn't even know what day it was he missed his concert
The King of them All.
No that was a total different situation
Way too long for what it presented. Sorry music as well.
Did otis williams worked for cia
Did you mean Otis Redding because Otis Williams is not dead
He was a monster ! A genius musically but as a man he was disgrace and I’m convinced he killed Tammi Terrell by hitting her with a hammer across the head
Not a hammer a motorcycle helmet
otis not dead
I understand he is well and living in Texas
I remember reading about him and the jet andand they made a movie about it they found them in the street they just dumped them out of the car and left them in the street let's say it drug pushers don't care nothing about you they just want your money
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Ms. Millni !
No that is not true David was never just dumped in street the limo driver brought him to the hospital ran in the emergency room said he had a sick man in the car the attendants put David on a stretcher rolled him into a examining room where shortly there after he was pronounced , one of the presiding doctors asked a attendant to fetch the limo driver to come into his office so a report could be made but by that time the limo had left but he was not ever at anytime just dumped in the street like the movie depicted
You should stay away from these famous cemeteries due to not having permission from their families to video tape the grave.
It's a PUBLIC CEMETERY. No permission needed. If privacy was that important to the families, there would be NO ACCESS to the Graves of their so called loved ones.
He. Wasn't. That. Great. He. Was. A. Drug. Act.
Addict...not act*
We all fall down in life and thats ok. Who are you to judge him. He was great in many eyes. Stupid🤬
@Judy Gaines not everyone who dies has a problem my grandmother died when she was 91 years old she didn't have a problem it was just of old age
my mother speaks the same way about a drug addict first of all it's wrong to do so why even try doing it tell him what they feel good they feel so good they get addicted and they look terrible and they stink so please just because he had some talent don't need any common sense my mother never feel sorry for drug addicts
You can be very talented. You can still be druggie, drunk, and women abuser. Thank you for your talent. Thank you for My Girl song.
just imagine he would have been your son would you talk like this. I felt sorry for Mr Ruffin,
and his talent he had not because of taking drugs!!! You dig! Take good care
