Perhaps
lesser known than David—his brother who was more often than not the lead vocalist for the Temptations—Jimmy
Ruffin, who turns 70 today, had a monster Motown hit in the summer of
'66 with this gem about seeking peace of mind after heartbreak. The
video as uploaded to YouTube is a shade upcut and you almost miss the
spoken word intro that was edited out of the release that we're more familiar with as the radio hit. Jimmy's brother David died in 1991. But that's a dose for another day.
