Motown Spotlight - February 2022 Tribute to Jimmy Ruffin
« on: February 26, 2022, 03:31:08 pm »
I just got this Motown Spotlight today for February 2022 that does an excellent writeup by Sharon Davis on the one and only Jimmy Ruffin.  I find it very interesting.  I don't know why these don't get posted onto the Motown Treasures site so I will take the liberty of doing so. 

A well written article covering a great amount of his career.

Thanks Bill for posting this. Jimmy lived in the shadows of Marvin & Stevie unjustly so of course! As usual Motown had no idea how to promote him just like Brenda and countless others. Thankfully the UK recognised his talent. I just wonder what would have happened if Jimmy and not David had joined the Temptations. We will never know will we!

Jimmy Ruffin Fan Club Bulletins
« Reply #2 on: September 03, 2022, 10:29:51 am »

I recently read somewhere that in the golden days of Motown, two individuals by the first names of Phil and Pete were the publishers of the Jimmy Ruffin Fan Club Bulletins.

Does anyone have these bulletins in their collection?  Just wondering how many were issued from what date to what date?  It would be awesome if some who might have these could scan one into the MT for others to see.  They could contain a lot of perhaps unknown facts and comments about Jimmy.

Thanks.
