Great song and a great voice.
Surpassed only by Aretha. (Imho only)
Her song Respect has got to be a classic.

David Ruffin - Walk away from love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=my36wsyfH-0

Brilliant singer, whether on the classic 60's Tempations material - or on his solo 70's work - such as this.

As far as groups go, they didn't come much
better than the Four Tops.
They did a rack of great numbers didn't they.

Not a hit, but perhaps my absolute favourite Motown dance track. When this gets spun at a 'niter... the dancefloor is packed!
