Product Description
Product Description
The elder brother of David Ruffin, Jimmy was born in Collinsville, Mississippi on May 7, 1939 and was first signed by Motown s subsidiary Miracle in 1961. Although solo success proved elusive to begin with, Jimmy kept plugging away, turning down the chance to join The Temptations in 1964 when they were seeking a replacement for Otis Bryant. Indeed, it was Jimmy who suggested to his brother David that he try out for the position instead, with David going on to become one of Temptations greatest lead singers. Meanwhile Jimmy s own career began to pick up around the same time, culminating in the Top 10 success of 'What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted' in 1966. Although Jimmy was never granted First Division status at Motown as far as access to the best producers and writers was concerned, he could always be relied upon to turn in a great performance, as witnessed by such Motown classics as 'I ve Passed This Way Before', 'It s Wonderful To Be Loved By You' and 'I ll Say Forever My Love'. Like many other artists Jimmy proved more popular in the UK than in his homeland, ultimately deciding to follow in the footsteps of Edwin Starr and making his home in the UK.
