Jimmy Ruffin
Jimmy Ruffin
Colinsville, USpop, r&b
22.3m all-time streams (10 Jan '26)
The older brother of The Temptations' lead singer David Ruffin, Jimmy enjoyed several huge hits himself in the mid-'60s for Berry Gordy's 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.
