Garland Fleming used to be with The Delfonics (featuring William Poogie Hart) and was often introduced as the second David Ruffin! As you can see, he is no joke!
I don't know when this was recorded, before or after Ollie Woodson, but i didn't think i would ever hear the true David Ruffin sound after Ollie Woodson passed. But this guy is awesome.
So I read that he used to sing with The Delfonics but his amazing resemblance to David Ruffin just floored me! Not only that he has a great voice and does justice to the song by the Temps!👋❤️
We have lost soooo many of our Great artists it’s refreshing to hear Mr. Garfield singing solo especially today just hearing this music made me smile 😊 thank you
I had to do a double take. I really thought it was David, from the past. Excellent! From the dress to the vocals & band. I honestly held back tears, at the sweet memories these guys brought. May God continue to keep His wind at your backs, as you touch our hearts & memories. Sweet Peace!
BRO .... I lost an election and was fine..... I heard this *AND FAINTED*. Dude!!! This is David Ruffin & WILSON PICKETT wrapped up in some Sam Cooke. God bless you!!! *THIS* WAS AWSOME!!!!! *PURE SOUL-CHURCH (with a pinch of backsliding)!!* I SIMPLY ❤️❤️❤️❤️'d IT!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
That's great!! Now I have requests.. You're My Everything, Please Return Your Love to Me, How Can I Forget, Cloud Nine, Gonna Give Her All the Love I Got, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, I'm Gonna Make You Love Me, I Can't Get Next to You, Ball of Confusion, Psychedelic Shack, Just My Imagination... Fantastic job by all!!!
Man there s only a few can mimic the great Ruffin but if you grew singing these songs they kind of born within you. One day you recalling all those songs like’ Cindy’ when you going come on Cindy, no more water in the well. Yes we know all the old classic.. Otis came to Tulsa with new guys the audience a bunch millennium played out after a few songs. But not me and my sister we knew every song. Yep we were so happy to be so close to our Idols growing on a dirt road with a black and white tv with antenna that would rotate from a little box that sat on top the tv. Yes we remember the good old days.. LB May 2021
Man upon my first glance and even hearing his vocals, I thought how could this be, is it cameras or what it took me a minute to know this wasn't David Tiffin,he Awesome!!
Look-a-here, you need to come on out, You are awesome. I agree with everyone else, after Ollie, that was it. You sound so much like David, my goodness. Put a smile on my face why dontcha!😍
Still 💜 the Motown sound of the 1960s .... even before that ... I remember when it was the Tamla label. Those were the days. 💜🎵 🎶💜🎶🎵💜 I hear a strong likeness to David Ruffin in this song ... great job to this artist! 👋🌹
WOW, WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!! Don't know what else to say. Band is INCREDIBLE, background singers, but that lead singer, I guess the mole wasn't broken after David. WOW!!!!!
He really was Ruffin my feathers For sure I thought that was old archival that in a vault I want a love I can see,beauty only skin deep I’m going to walk away from love the world needs this man and Curtis mayfield no thing on me brother brother you been laying back along time I been wishing only good for you
This is actually a very good version by the male lead singer and the male back-up singer. I was awaiting the Ruffin money note at 3:20 . Still a great version.
I remember seeing him in a concert with The Delfonics when one the other members of the group introduced him as Garfield Ruffin the youngest brother of David whether or not that's true I don't know but to me there's a slight similarity in his voice to both David and Jimmy.
@@millardpadgett9272 I didn't know he had a brother named garfield, really? jimmy was a good singer but not as good as my baby the album he and Jimmy made is awesome ❤ have you heard it?
Somebody call OTIS! RUFFIN HAS BEEN REINCARINATED AS DAVID RUFFIN!~LOL~! on a real...if Otis got this brother in his line up ticket sales would jump 100%
As a "BIG" David Ruffin fan i have to give him a standing ovation
Wonderful rendition of one of the most beautiful songs ever - thank you !
This brother has captured and delivered the essence of David Ruffin. I almost like it better than the original and this band is phenomenal
Mr. Garfield Fleming sounds fantastic as always. 🎤
That man can sing! Sounds so much like David Ruffin!
I don't think so
yes yes sound like David Ruffin look like him a little bit
@@josevillagrana571 then you obviously dont listen to his music.
Looks like David, sounds just a little like David.

Thanks, I thought that could be David's brother that was a artist with Motown also.
You fool me sound just like David
Nothing like soul musicThe way music is these days sometime is good to go back way back ❤
Wow wish there was still music like this
He look just like david he doing a great job i love david ruffin the king God bless him for keeping david alive
I could listen to Garfield Fleming over and over,what a voice and stage presence! He could easily have filled in for a Temptations spot or movie
I don't know when this was recorded, before or after Ollie Woodson, but i didn't think i would ever hear the true David Ruffin sound after Ollie Woodson passed. But this guy is awesome.
He better than Ollie and look more like him 2
I agree 💯🎤
Sweet Ollie...there will never be another.
Nobody sings this like Ruff!!
It's incredible! He needs to be with Otis Williams and the Temptations he has now.
😘 Thank you for keeping our Wonderful David Ruffin Alive...💞 Love and Peace to all always...💞✌️xo
So I read that he used to sing with The Delfonics but his amazing resemblance to David Ruffin just floored me! Not only that he has a great voice and does justice to the song by the Temps!👋❤️
Almost thought that was David Ruffin. Great job.
Yes!
You go man. The world needs to hear you.
He's Garfield Fleming's from the Delfonics he's a true talent look him up here on TH-cam he does Motown classics with other bands
This guy is just as FINE As David Ruffin
We have lost soooo many of our Great artists it’s refreshing to hear Mr. Garfield singing solo especially today just hearing this music made me smile 😊 thank you

I'm not hating just calling it like I see it if you know voice and I know voice he doesn't come close to David
Give him his props if you are a David fan just have flashbacks of David singing the guy got soul and he got moves
BRO .... I lost an election and was fine..... I heard this *AND FAINTED*. Dude!!! This is David Ruffin & WILSON PICKETT wrapped up in some Sam Cooke. God bless you!!! *THIS* WAS AWSOME!!!!! *PURE SOUL-CHURCH (with a pinch of backsliding)!!* I SIMPLY ❤️❤️❤️❤️'d IT!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
This made me smile.... they are very good..
Flawless performance...BRAVO!!!!!
David David the best
WOW......Thats the entire package....BAND....BACK UP....AND VOCALS......TOUR time for you guys......

Good sound! Lead and background vocals were solid. This man was definitely one of David’s students 👍🏾
Love it great job ❤❤😮😮

Great,always keep David and the rest of the classic lineup hits going!!
♥️♥️✔
Sensational singing and the back ups sing like angels, sounding so good !
Awesome!!!! Everyone's killing it!
We know for a fact Otis Williams has the strength to touch this talent. Ruffin, still the image of the Temptations golden romantic years.
That's great!! Now I have requests..
