Walk Away From Love-Ali Woodson-2009

[@MsM1975]

Wow- I didn't know Ollie sang this song too- I remember David Ruffin's version in 1975- You and David Ruffin are Resting- I know you both are singing in that Heavenly Choir, your music will live on🙏

[@sweetlatina53]

Ali Woodson your body left but the greatest gift of all is name and legacy that will live forever in our hearts and minds May you’re soul rips💜🎤💿🥀

[@shawnaszantor3850]

I came upon Ollie Woodson. This man is gifted and has touched my heart. Passing away at 58. God hold this man in your loving arms. Another great man whose voice is so pure. You are my favorite Temptation.

[@lindawyche6837]

Yes, Ollie, I am just going to walk away from love! I'm leaving, oh yes I am! Here's to my Babe, "it's not that I have someone else, and it's not that I don't love you, you know how much I do". I don't understand it myself. Rest well Ali, your voice will forever be in my head💖

[@bhekinene5352]

Missing you my favorite singer 😢

[@getajobfatboy]

The best voice, god has you in his group now. We miss you so much.

[@lindawyche6837]

Yesssssssss! Singing in the heavenly choir now! Rest Well Ali "Ollie" . You are truly missed💖

[@stephenlee3495]

Ali loved David and this was an absolutely fitting tribute. Ali was probably the only singer that could go toe to toe with David vocally in hindsight - his range was amazing. RIP to both legends. We miss you.

[@noraparkercarter180]

Profiles in Pittsburgh I first heard Brother Chuck Jackson Sing this Song!!! Chuck is SUPER AMAZING VOCALIST!!!😉🙄🤔😗

[@johnanders6234]

Stephen Lee Him and Levi Stubb's The is an excellent rendention but David owns this.Would have love to hear Levi's rendition. David's and Levi during an rendintion of Soul To Soul.

[@skilapierce1771]

I believe this was his tribute to the legendary David Ruffin. He could not of done this song any better if he was David himself. Another true legend gone away from us. Truly one of the greatest voices of Real Soul.

[@sheilapalmer224]

Skila Pierce I did not know he had die

[@bird872mitc3]

I love this rendition!!! Not only does he pay tribute to David, but he also pays tribute to Eddie when he says "Tell her love has felt the need to leave." Priceless. lol this man was a genius oh and what a voice.

[@speedy00soul]

Yes, Ali Woodson was a true legend. This is a nice version of the song, but no one can really compare to David Ruffin.

[@anthonywilliams1284]

Agreed

[@candicetharp6694]

This was David Ruffins single off the walk away from love album. All the temptations were fantastic ! BUT !!! There's only one David Ruffin. Founder of the Temptations .. Eddie Hendricks etc..

Profiles in Pittsburgh Love this Song, first Chuck Jackson, David Ruffin, Now Third Magnificent Vocalist Ali !!!😀😉😚🙄🤔

[@jeremymanning2132]

Ali did this song his way, he didn't try to imitate David Ruffin. We shouldn't compare the two, just enjoy both versions by two amazing vocalists! Respect.

[@mchilds319]

And a year layer Ollie left us😢 The best voice that lead The Temptations...I believe. Continue to RIP dearest Ollie Woodson. A tremendous loss...farewell❤🙏

[@sosuper7]

I won't get into who's the better lead singer,I'll just say the Temptation has been an extremely blessed group regarding vocalist.

[@geraldjohnson848]

Well said, mr Brooks; to your point; The Temptations hardly ever lost a step when it came to lineup changes, lead singers in particular. Some of whom have 'fonted' other groups prior to....Dennis Edwards was saigned to a Motown contract and was with The Contours before steeping in after David Ruffin left...David in some ways hand-picked Dennis. Thanks for your post. Blessings

[@elhealtheducation8927]

So true

[@garymills2770]

james brooks ,David and Ollie both class👌

[@idellboykin8149]

James Brooks, you are absolutely right there have been some great talent with the Temptations regarding the vocals and very good music.

[@georgebrown8142]

[@artislamarcooper8017]

Sing it Ali my brother R.I.P.

[@aslanlion1516]

The man was/is AWESOME. I just bought 2 Temps videos. Came upon Ollie (with temps) by accident. few months ago. Man's got some kinda good voice. Love his and Theo's Broken pieces. First few videos I saw of him he wasn't dancing. Then I saw him dance to "All I want from you", and I said perfection.

[@scottmayes40]

GREAT SONG!!!

[@lindawyche6837]

Come on with it Ali "Dr. Smooth"! Sorry, I cannot sit back and relax to this song! However, I will remove my shoes lol! I have to get up and dance "love this song" David's version too. Love these two!

[@MrMcClendon131]

This was the truth

[@tino0936]

Smoothness.

[@barbaramyers10]

David is smiling down on you Olie you doing the damn thing 🙏🏽♥️

[@lindawyche6837]

Yesssssssssss!

[@clarksdalepoet]

To all of you that know the Original Tempts, listen for David's voice! He is in there with Ollie. Don't think that I am crazy, just be your own judge and listen to Ollie versus David! Both gifted voices.

[@marlenaeley3285]

ali woodson was very talented better thsn David ruffin. and fone ad hell.y kond ogsn

[@marlenaeley3285]

ali woodson talented and fine as can by kind of man

[@shawnaszantor3850]

Ollie's voice and so gifted. His voice reminds me of Marvin Gaye. Love these 2 men that can touch my soul.

[@iamgodgodiam8578]

Edwards was a hollering singer, David Ruffin and Ali Ollie, were more crooners, vocalist. Not taking away anything from Edwards, their biggest hits was with him!

[@16davelle]

Dennis sang with the fire of a southern baptist preacher.The brother came from Alabama and his father was a preacher,lol

[@iamgodgodiam8578]

16davelle Not from Alabama, Dennis Edwards lives around the corner from me in Florissant, MO, or Blackjack to some folks. He's from St.Louis

[@16davelle]

IamGod GodIam You sure he wasn't from Fairfield Alabama,well iim not going to dispute the fact that he lives in Mo. at this point but i've heard Dennis say he was a "Bama" boy from a little town outside Birmingham.this is the first i've heard St.Louis,I recall him living in Detroit(motown years) and even knew about his daughter with Ruth Pointer(Issa)..I guess one of Dennis' biggest fan has been misinformed...thanks for straightening me out and proving Dennis to be misinformed about his roots,damn,just when you think you know about a guy!!!!!!

[@rodneythomas9553]

Yep !

[@barbararackley6746]

I seem to remember him to say Alabama as well. I know he's in MO now.

[@MitchellRidgewaySr]

Thumbs Up!!

[@rcthomas7491]

Nice musical arrangement...

[@elhealtheducation8927]

Lovely sweet voice. My boy.

[@roydavis4604]

I've got to do this song. RIP ALI

[@elhealtheducation8927]

Sweet voice and handsome too.

[@BuddyWarlock]

As someone that has lived the life of the tempts.But as Bobby Hemmitt would say " let's not be funny with this Sh*t.When you hear David sing this song it is a few thousand miles from Ali.David is as every one has said "The Voice". If you don't believe me, go and listen to David Ruffin sing walk away from a love live!I think the best thing Ali did was "treat her like a lady" that was out standing within his own right!

[@ronalddickerson8610]

James R Stidham. I disagree with you. That Treat Her Like A Lady was the best thing that Ali did. Take a listen to Ali on these Songs.Touch Me, Special, Someone, Wait A Minute, Whenever You're Ready, Hoops Of Fire Family Reunion Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow and At Last.. Brother I don't think you will be disappointed. I'm A Fan of Both of them. I just don't think Ali got the true Recognition he so rightly Deserved.

[@algthedrill]

The singer that save the Temp

[@ms_sassy19]

Heyyyyy 💃💃💃💃

[@MrTony1204]

Yes Samsmusic1000 "lol......Where you be?

[@kellyblack2010]

I never knew Ail remade David Ruffin's "walk away from love". I think ail was an underrated temptation it would have been great if these two powerhouses were to be on stage together especially when Ail was in his prime before he got sick. basically, he did what David was doing in the 60's when it came to ballads if you didnt know any better if you listen to the 60s temptations songs that David lead then listen to the 80s songs that Ali lead and you didnt know the backstory of the group you'd almost think that David never left the group especially if you skipped the Dennis Edwards era music

[@nealjones84]

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@localmatterspodcastofgeorg3624]

At first I found it odd that Woodson would record David's biggest solo hit. Then I realized he sang David's songs live hundreds of times per year. I guess there is nothing to be intimidated about when you do that.

[@MrTony1204]

You got one here .....Ollie was bad....

[@anthonywilliams1284]

Paid his respect to david ruffin gain the temtations affect

[@jamesvickers5004]

They all could sing well, but they was 5 great singers who stood out from the others during their history, Paul, Eddie, David, Dennis and Ali-Ollie. Maybe it just material, but I feel they failed to find that distinct voice since Ollie's departure.

[@billkenworthey5258]

Marvin Gaye, Jerry Butler, Lou Rawls

[@lindawyche6837]

Don't Forget Your Shoes lol!

[@shirleyking2722]

Sound good but like David better.R.I.P. MY BROTHER'S

[@vincentcarter6066]

Love Ali Woodson version ,but Ruffin version is much better,the passion and soul is missing from Woodson version.

[@jimmieperryman965]

Ollie woodson is a great singer..but. A long way. From. David. Ruffin..

Mix up it up Ollie.
