Jimmy Ruffin

Boy, it must be great to be one of the Ruffin brothers. David Ruffin, Jimmy Ruffin's younger brother, is a member of The Temptations, but Jimmy is certainly my favorite.

Seeing Jimmy Ruffin live is unlike any other live show I've seen, especially because of the sheer amount of musical talent on display from Jimmy Ruffin. As a soul and R&B singer, it's important for Jimmy Ruffin to truly put all of his heart and soul into his performances, and he certainly does just this in every single performance of every single one of his songs.

Dressed up in a nice suit, Jimmy croons soulful tunes such as "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" and brings already beautiful lyrics to life in a way that many other singers have to be jealous of. Jimmy, backed up by instruments that pale in comparison to his voice, truly brings such sorrow and soul to the words and makes sure you realize why this song was one of his hit singles.

Charming and charismatic, and brimming with a grin from ear to ear after his songs, it is clear that Jimmy loves what he's doing. The applause certainly doesn't hurt either, I'm sure, but Jimmy's joy on stage comes from doing something that he can pull his heart and soul into: singing.
