My name is David Ruffin Jr., and I grew up standing in the shadows of the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers, which connected two of the greatest roaring, and raging rivers with combined elements of blues, gospel, swing, and pop with thumping beats for a new dance that was instantly recognized. I grew up between Lake Erie and Lake Huron, who had enough energy to power a diesel engine. The Temptations and The Four Tops were pop music’s masters of soulful serenade. I grew up watching the Gemini Twins (my Father’s and Eddie Kendrick’s) never out of step choreography, perfect harmony, and stylish suits – become an avalanche of hits. Those were the sound tracks of my life. It set ablaze a web of fire and emotion in the small doe-eyed boy sitting amongst the roaring lions that tore at the yowling crooners in pleasant pain and steered him toward the drippy southern flow of Ruffinism (Ruffin/Kendrick flavor), with a new school twist.
