Jimmy Lee Ruffin 1936-2014
soul singer best known for his plaintive 1966 Top 10 hit “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted”
(...)
Mr. Ruffin was not one of the biggest stars in the Motown stable of the 1960s and ’70s, which also included, among many others, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, the Four Tops, the Jackson 5 and the Temptations — whose million-selling 1965 single “My Girl” featured his brother David Ruffin as lead singer.
But in 1966 and 1967, he was a reliable hitmaker.
