American soul singer and musician (1941-1991) most famous for his work as one of the lead singers of the Temptations. He was the lead voice on such famous songs as "My Girl" and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." Ruffin died on June 1, 1991, from an adverse reaction to cocaine. Although the cause of death was ruled an accidental, family and friends suspected foul play, claiming that a money belt containing $40,000 was missing from his body. Glossy 8 x 9.75 photo, signed and inscribed in black felt tip “For Steve…Best wishes, Dave Ruffin.” In very good condition, with lightly trimmed top edge, staple holes to borders, moderate contrast to the light, but mostly legible inscription, and signature also light, but still completely legible. Ruffin is scarce in any form.
