Quote for the Day:
"By the time I toured with The Supremes, we'd progressed to going by coach. Well, Mary and Florence and I went by coach - Diana never took the bus. The problem there was that I was too good. They were headlining but I got the standing ovations - so they took me off the tour." - Jimmy Ruffin; BBC interview, 1999, Soul Source magazine;
