David Ruffin only 50??? 😦 That last song is one of the worst I’ve heard of all of the time you’ve been doing this feature, Hans. How did that ever make any chart???
It amazes me at times the great singles that are for whatever reason neglected and then there are ones the shouldn’t have seen the light of day which are popular.
I like this series as it illustrates just that.
