[@fitzgeraldanthony9333]

@@davidsherbourne3161 Thank you. That was undoubtedly one of the most ignorant comments I ever read in some time. White people were a major consumer of Soul records. Why do you think Berry Gordy strongly encouraged a pop sound laced with Soul into the Motown sound? Motown needed a white audience in order to gain mass appeal. This is common knowledge. And guess what? Motown SUCCEEDED because of it. Thanks to Motown grooming these legendary acts, when they matured and decided to evolve in their sound, they took black and white audiences with them for that creative ride which opened the door to more grittier soul and funk acts to become mainstream. The Philadelphia sound( Harold Melvin and the Blue notes, The Spinners, The Ojays, Rolls Royce etc...) is an excellent example of this. Then of course disco finished it off and you had massive white consumption of this incredible music because both whites and blacks knew good songs when they heard them. I really get annoyed when the race element just gets carelessly tossed out there without serious thought.

I am a retired Trucker that was living in Grand Rapids. I use to have a daily choice where to run for the day. When a Detroit load came up, I tried to always grab it. After I unloaded in the morning.

Yes it It was The Long and Winding Road, I was very emotional. I’m glad it’s over now. Just worried about his wife and how she will cope. She’s not going to stop working, I’m glad to say. It will keep her going.

Such incredible magic and power in his voice. Loved this song !!!!!!!!❤

I cried while trying to sing it myself.So soulful and tearful

[@helenmark3214]

I was fortunate enough to grow up with this loving kind of sensible music that gave people trust in one another. Look how it inspires decency in the dancers on the video, nice decent good looking folk compared to the self loving arrogant ugly generation we have today

This is what you call TALENT.

The incomparable voice of David Ruffin.

[@reecieremix78]

One of the greatest to ever grace a microphone and call himself a “SINGER” before a “performer” Mr.Ruffin lives on through my stereos

[@edwardstack7301]

BRILLIANT CLASSIC GOD-given Voice. Only DAVID RUFFIN. RIP🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@treasure2behold282]

I can't describe how this song makes me feel. 💕 David Ruffin's stage presence is magnetic.

[@drinkmorewater2798]

One of the greatest male vocalist to grace this earth. I was born in the wrong decade. 😞

[@NuNugirl]

Breaks my heart….. his voice still touches me when he hits that note. 1975.
