Search - David Ruffin :: My Whole World Ended/Feelin Good

The incandescent talent of David Ruffin was too big for even the Temptations to hold. As Smokey Robinson observed, The only way David could survive at Motown was as a solo artist. And so Ruffin left the Temptations in 1969 to strike out on his own with a series of releases that further established him as one of Motown s great voices. These two albums from 1969 have only come out on CD in the U.S. as a part of a long out of print, limited edition box set, and only overseas on high-priced Japanese reissues; each of them rank among the greatest soul albums of the late 60s. 1969 s My Whole World Ended went to #1 on the R&B album charts on the strength of its hit title cut and I ve Lost Everything I ve Ever Loved, while Feelin Good went to #9 on the R&B album charts and sported the hit I m So Glad I Fell for You. Liner notes by Gene Sculatti...sheer soul genius.
