by Bill DahlThe older brother of the Temptations lead singer David Ruffin, Jimmy enjoyed several huge hits himself in the mid-60s for Berry Gordys Soul label. Ruffin first signed with another Motown subsidiary, the short-lived Miracle, in 1961, but it was his convincing vocal on What Becomes of the Brokenhearted that made him a star in 1966. He encored with Ive Passed This Way Before and Gonna Give Her All the Love Ive Got. In 1970 he briefly teamed with David (by then a solo artist) as the Ruffin Brothers and cut a duet remake of Ben E. Kings Stand By Me. He staged an impressive comeback in 1980 on RSO Records with a major pop hit, Hold On to My Love, that was produced by Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees.
