Published: June 2, 1991. PHILADELPHIA, June 1â David Ruffin, an original member of the Temptations whose Gospel-charged baritone was featured on hits like My Girl and Ain't Too Proud to Beg, died today of what appeared to be a drug overdose, the police said. He was 50.
David showed interest in joining the group to Otis Williams whom he lived very close to in Detroit. In January 1964, Ruffin became a member of the Temptations after founding member Elbridge Al Bryant was fired from the group. Ruffin's first recording session with the group was January 9, 1964. Though both David and Jimmy were considered, David was given the edge, thanks to his performance skills. These were displayed when he joined the Temptations on stage during the label's New Year's Eve party in 1963.
