Actually bro, the J5 did the original version. It was actually written for Gladys Knight and the Pips, but Berry had just signed these 5 young kids and they needed a song.

Its true, Ruffin's version was on the 1971 album "David", and the Jackson 5 released theirs in 1969.

I would hardly blame the Otis Williams or the rest of the Temptations for the breakup and falling out between them and David Ruffin. He had ego, control, and drug, problems that led to him alienating the rest of the band, and later when he was officially out, ruining shows and creating legal issues.

By 1967, however, ego problems with Ruffin became an issue for the group. He became addicted to cocaine, and began missing rehearsals and performances. Refusing to travel with the other Temptations, Ruffin and his then-girlfriend Tammi Terrell traveled in a custom limo (with the image of his trademark black rimmed glasses painted on the door). After The Supremes had their name changed to Diana Ross & the Supremes in early 1967, Ruffin felt that he should become the focal point of the Temptations, just as Diana Ross was for her group, and began demanding that the group name be changed to David Ruffin & the Temptations. This led to a number of fights between Ruffin and the group's de facto leader, Otis Williams. In addition to the group's problems with his ego, Ruffin began inquiring into the Temptations' financial records, demanding an accounting of the group's money. This caused friction between Ruffin and Gordy.

In mid-1968, the Temptations agreed that Ruffin finally crossed the line when he missed a 1968 concert to attend a concert being performed by his new girlfriend, Barbara Martin instead. Ruffin was replaced with former Contour Dennis Edwards, who had been a friend of Ruffin and the group as a whole beforehand. Despondent that he had been fired from the group that he felt he had single-handedly brought to success, Ruffin began turning up at and crashing Temptations' concerts. When the group started to perform a Ruffin-era song such as "My Girl" or "Ain't Too Proud to Beg", Ruffin himself would appear on the stage, grab the microphone from Dennis Edwards and steal the show, embarrassing the band but delighting the fans. The Temptations resorted to hiring extra security to prevent Ruffin from attending their shows.[citation needed]

Meanwhile, Ruffin filed suit against Motown Records, seeking a release from the label and an accounting of his money. Motown countersued to keep the singer from leaving the label and eventually the case was settled. The settlement required Ruffin to remain with Motown to finish out his initial contract (Ruffin joined Motown as a solo artist, and always had a separate contract from the other Temptations, which some felt caused a lot of the in-fighting within the group).

None of this seems paticularly unreasonable. David Ruffin and The Temptations has a nice ring to it.

Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Maze with Frankie Beverly, or Frankie Beverly and Maze is the ultimate family reunion band. They have a song for whatever situation pops up at family get-togethers. When cats talk about great bands, I don't think they come up enough. They made such beautiful music. There are very few singers who can be as vulnerable as Frankie and not come off as whiny, soft, pu[COLOR=Black]s[/COLOR]sy-whipped, and/or b[COLOR=Black]i[/COLOR]tchmade.
