I was watching the NBC nightly news last evening and at the end of the broadcast they showed a collage of pictures of entertainers who passed away during the past year. Many of them I never ever heard of. I was especially saddened by their failure to mention Jimmy Ruffin. That would have been a fitting tribute to this great singer.
With these thoughts in mind, I would like to compile a listing of Motown singers and/or executives who passed away last year. I can offer the following:
Anna Gordy Gaye - 1/31/2014
Bernie Yeszin - 7/8/2014 He was the Motown art director
Jimmy Ruffin - 11/17/2014
Can anyone add any others?
