This is from our local program, "Swingin' Time" from Windsor, Ontario Canada. So I am going to guess many of you have not seen this:

Great find Marv. Keep looking for Jimmy Ruffin performances. He was truly a legendary and important Motown artist. The more the better.

Never seen this before; Thanks for sharing Marv2. Jimmy Ruffin's "As Long As There Is L-O-V-E" is another one of those songs that should've been a big hit [[IMHO).

You're welcome, guys. I could easily see how Jimmy would have fit nicely in the Temptations.

One thing about that; while he had the vocal chops for that, it's often been mentioned in interviews that Jimmy Ruffin didn't have the ability to do The Temptations tightly choreographed dance steps [[or as Otis Williams mentioned on The Temptations DVD from 2006, Jimmy had 'bad feet').
