David: The Unreleased Album, 2004 (recorded c. 1970)
Written by Cardi Peters and Johnny Bristol
David Ruffin was one of the lead singers of the Temptations from 1964 to 1968. Here, on this posthumous release, he delivers an impassioned soul love song in his raspy but emotion-drenched tenor over smooth horns and a background chorus of female singers. "I melt from every kiss you give me / Oh, they warm me on each chilly night / Respect your sweetness brought to me / Has changed my outlook on life." The raw power of Ruffin's voice is evident in every syllable; this could easily have been a soul classic.
