I Want You Back (cover) - David Ruffin

[AnnieRUOkay89]

If this has been posted before, I apologize, but I love David Ruffin, thanks to my grandfather, I was fortunate enough to be raised on groups like the Temptations, Chi-Lites, and artists like Smokey Robinson, Jackie Wilson, and Al Green...But this is my first time hearing this amazing, and I mean amazing cover.





Hopefully I'll find out how to edit this into only one video, lol. As said before this is my first time hearing this (I'm only 21), and I was completely blown away by Ruffin's interpretation of this song....Anywho, just thought I'd share with my favorite online community.

I Want You Back was written for Gladys Knight & The Pips, but was given to the Jackson brothers when they signed to Motown.

Jimmy Ruffin is still alive. Mike paid for David's service.

Thanks, I don't know if Gladys could've did this song justice the way Michael and David did though.

Jimmy is still alive, Mostly has popularity in england kinda like the four tops do., the funeral that Mike paid for was david's. David died at 50 like Mike did.
