Jimmy Ruffin, Motown singer, dies aged 78
quote:
Jimmy Ruffin, the Motown performer who scored his biggest hit with 1966's What Becomes of the Broken Hearted, has died at the age of 78.
News of his death follows reports last month that he was seriously ill and in intensive care at a Las Vegas hospital.
Born in Mississippi, Ruffin moved to Detroit in the early 1960s and was signed to Motown's Miracle label.
He moved to the UK in the 1980s, where he recorded songs with Paul Weller and Heaven 17.
Ruffin's other hits included I've Passed This Way Before, Gonna Give Her All the Love I Got and Hold On To My Love, a top 10 hit in 1980.
His younger brother David, one of the early members of the Temptations, died in 1991 of a drug overdose, prompting his sibling to become an anti-drug campaigner.

With all these talented artists this thread is no place for winners and losers as you say. However...Like you prefer Pickett to Redding, I prefer Knight to Franklin. Midnight Train
